Weigh currently around 250, 5'7 in height Lowest I ever got two years ago was 235

I keep yoyoing on weight my whole life I fall off the workout wagon and spiral

I've been working out consistently for a month swimming, hiking or running and doing weights, I feel healthier I'm much more active, and feel less winded

But I may have an undiagnosed eating disorder, i can stress eat on anxious levels, before I could drop weight easier but I'm worried my weight is catching up to me because it's not shedding like it used too.

I'm very self conscious about my weight, and I want to be healthy in the event of anything in the future. My eating is starting to cost me and I'm starting to realize this is detrimental to my overall well-being.

Any recommendations?

I swim laps for at least 45min to hr Or run 3 miles Or hike 2-5 miles depending on time before sunset

Edit: i also added burpees recently when I don't have time to do everything in the gym, because I do work and go to school as well.

Plus I always do some weights at the gym with a warmup full body workout.

My eating is destroying my progress. I also do not get good sleep, I'm trying to work on that.

    So, details on the eating side would help responses.

    Any training/coaching ongoing on the mental side of things (and suspected disorder)?

      Honestly I get anxious or depressed and I start eating unnecessarily even if I already ate well or am not hungry.

      I'll just over eat in general whether it's junk food, sweets, or just eating again when I'm not hungry.

      I'm going back to therapy and I'm gonna start seeing a nutritionist. ADHD diagnosed as well

        nutritionist

        if you're in the US, the legitimate profession is "dietician". any snakeoil quack can claim to be a nutritionist.

          I just know they were referred from my Dr during a physical, so a nutritionist would still just be a dietician?

            no, a nutritionist could be anyone. they could be a complete quack telling you to eat only meat, or they could be a registered dietician with an educated professional opinion who advertises as nutritionist because regular people think "nutritionist" is the professional title.

            you have to investigate this person's certifications yourself unfortunately

        It's really good to have a support system like that.

        Calories in/out should be established at some point but it may lead to obsessive/disorderly behavior unless those underlying elements are in balance.

        Single times of overeating are human and won't make a dent in your progress, and smaller consistent deficits are better to sustain than trying to reach too far too fast.

        Some people find alternative behaviours for those situations where they used to eat extra. And with some people it could be as simple as keeping a regular eating interval so blood sugar levels won't cause those moments where they'd overindulge.

        Keep on figuring things out piece by piece. There's no hurry
