Since the beginning of my senior year of high school, I've gained 50-60 pounds since then (a little over 2 years). Im a 5'3 female weighing 227.8 currently. (lost 4.4 since this past sunday!!) Over the last two years, I told myself I'm going to lose this weight with this diet and this fasting window but never stuck to any of it. And deep down I knew I wasn't going to. I started to really gain weight when I began college. By looking at what I ate you could obviously see why. I'd eat like 2 strawberry shortcake debbie cakes, a pop tart pack(2 pastries) my spicy chicken sandwich from my colleges dining with fries, a cheese cup and a mayo cup. Then I'd go to work and eat who knows how many cookies, frosties and fries, and a sandwhich AND whatever drink I wanted to top it off with + refills. I had absolutely no disipline and didn't even at least believe that I could ever have any.
My eating habits would vary from either bad to worse. Back when I was a freshman in highschool, I came to the conclusion I ate food because I was depressed. But as i'm typing this, I realized my food habits came before I was depressed. Recently, I realized I had an actually food addiction. I ate when I was bored, angry, sad, or even slightest bit inconvienced. The constant amount of food I ate got so bad that I realized , I hadn't gotten actually hungry for a while because I were always stuffing my face. Working in fast food did not help my case.
I decided to order a scale a week ago and it came in on Sunday,hence why i started my changed eating habits. I'm the type to get on the scale every morning. It helps me to stay focused when I see immediate progress once a day. After my dad passed me my scale in the mail, my grandma wanted to see it. And then everyone got on it which made my mom ask me how much did I weigh later on in the day. I didn't want anyone to know I had a scale (so much for ordering online right) because I didn't want to be humilated and embarrased from telling my family how much I weigh. But it happened anyways. And somehow, something in my brain just snapped almost. My mindset about this whole weightloss thing made me feel like I truly wanted to change rather than just knowing I need too.
So the plan I am currently doing is simple. I'm eating 1200 calories a day and I cut out all junk food, fried foods and only drink water. At first I made the exception to powerade but I see the sugars and calories just simply aren't worth it. Intermittent fasting kind of just naturally came into play so I'm doing a 16 and 8. So far when im at school or work, I only eat grilled chicken sandwiches. I go out alot so I make sure I have some good food choices from various diffferent restuarants. For home, I haven't yet figured out what foods I'm going to buy but I will soon.
If you wanna stick around for my journey Ill update !!
