Hi everyone! I'm in need for some advice right now. I'm quite lost here honestly. TLDR at the bottom.
After trying to lose weight for about 8 years by eliminating certain foods or food groups, but gaining 30kg/66lbs instead, I went from a healthy BMI to being obese. On the first day of this year I weight in at my heaviest ever: 90kg/199lbs. I was shocked. Somehow after watching some people on youtube and realizing the calories are the issue here, I got the little "click" and realized that I didn't need to cut out certain foods. I just needed to eat less. Even the healthy food. Turns out all the skinny, vegan youtubers weren't right when they promised me "as long as you eat vegan, whole foods, you can eat as muuuch as you want and you will lose weight!! :) " I found out my healthy rice veggie bowl contained over 800 calories because of the rice, nuts, oils, avocados, tofu etc. My healthy in coconut oil/cacao dipped banana snack contained around 500. I don't even want to start on my 'healthy' fruit smoothies which had like 4 bananas only as the base. When i moved out and finally had access to unhealthy food, I couldn't eat 1 portion size. I had to eat the whole bag. And another. Doing this like twice a week wasn't in my benefit either. Long story short: I ate mostly healthy, but overall way too much for my female, sedentary 1,65m/5"5 ass. I wanted to go back to my original and healthy weight of 60kg/132lbs. So I made my new years resulotion to count calories and lose at least 15kg/33lbs by new years eve 2019. The first 6 months were great and I lost 11kg/24lbs, but ever since then I'm maintaining my weight. Even though I don't buy huge portions of unhealthy food anymore, I still end up eating around maintaince because I'm just bored/hungry or feel like eating. Or "I already lost so much so now I cant indulge Its fine.". Or eating my meal preps. I switch my food around and eat a variation of foods, I just miss the whole "click" thing where i prioritize my health.
So my question for you guys: How do you find your motivation and dedication again? Any quotes, videos, documentaries, tv shows. Anything that helped you guys. I'm so close to my goal but I keep falling off track.
TLDR: 2018 ny resolution goal was to lose 15kg/33lbs in a year. I lost 11kg/24lbs in 6 months but maintained for the last 5 months. Need help/inspiration to keep on track and stop giving up. I need that little "click" moment again.
