I've been consistently working out for about 3 or 4 months now. I've been able to really push myself and have made good progress that I'm proud of. I know that I should be eating more protein, more veggies, less carbs. But I suffer from generalized anxiety disorder that is especially bad in the evening, to the point where I'm driven to eat bad food to cope, this anxiety also makes me unable to sleep and I end up being too tired to make healthy meals myself and often choose what's convenient. I'm on a daily medication for my anxiety but it's still been tough to cope with and it's making keeping to a healthy diet incredibly tough for me. I'm starting to feel like I'm failing at my fitness journey since i know its 80% nutrition and 20% exercise. Has anyone else had this sort of problem? What did you do to stop using bad food as a coping mechanism?
