Anxiety is a physical condition marked by intense and persistent feelings of distress, fear, angst or dread. General anxiety caused by routine day-to-day stresses usually passes quickly and is experienced by almost everyone at one time or another. However, such feelings that linger over time and are very difficult to cope with, and which lack a clear cause, may indicate...
I lost 25 pounds. I haven't been able to lose more because I've been working 60 hour weeks. I'm starting to get anxiety again from eating. Is it because I care so much about my weight that when I do eat bad or something not good for me its doing it???
* Obsessive thinking. You mentioned you're overly worrying about your weight. While we should always be cognizant of our weight, we should never obsess over it, because that can be just as detrimental to our health.
* Food intake. Even "good" foods can increase your anxiety levels. Wheat, breads, potatoes, and pastas can all cause your heart rate to increase, which can increase your anxiety levels. Caffeine is an obvious one as well. Anything with sugar (frozen entrees have a lot of this, as does milk, soda, etc). Certain veggies can do it, too. See what you're eating and then look it up to see if it's linked with anxiety.
* Working long hours. Not having enough downtime can definitely cause your anxiety to increase, even if you don't "feel" anxious all the time. If it's necessary for your job, then you need to do things to break up the monotony. Go for a walk or exercise more frequently (even just walking around the building at work). Treat yourself to a "me day" on a day off. Socialize with friends often so you don't feel isolated. Indulge in a hobby or passion. And hydrate - drink lots and lots of water. Most people don't get enough as it is. Proper hydration and a bit of walking can really help with anxiety.
I try to eat 3 small meals and 3 snacks throughout the day and while I'm at work, I drink a lot of water or decaffeinated coffee and take frequent walks around my area or down to our cafe. There are exercises you can do at your desk as well, but it's always best to break up the tedium and move around. If you have a stressful job, than some "me time" is critical to unwind. Meditation and relaxation is also useful.
These all seem like small, common sense things and a lot of people disregard them because they're so obvious and therefore can't possibly work. But if you commit to it, you'll find they can all help.
Most of all, though: be PROUD! You lost 25 pounds!! This is no small feat! Celebrate your accomplishment! Give yourself permission to be proud of yourself, and then give yourself permission to lose only what you can. Don't be a hostage to that number - you'll lose what you need over time. Be proud!
