Honestly, I let it go on too long. I had some deaths in the family and my mental health was never really the same. The depression and anxiety was so bad that the last thing on my mind was my weight and what I ate.
Though years of hard work, my mental health is at a good place, and for the first time in a long time I'm looking at my physical health. I've been transitioning my lifestyle over the past couple of months and hitting it harder these last few weeks.
My biggest hurtle is soda. I've managed to go a few days without it here and there but if I MUST have it, I drink half a can so as to not feel like I'm going without.
Fast food has also become so common place in my household that I finally just said enough is enough. I needed to find a few quick, easy recipes to jumpstart moving my eating to home cooked. Convenient food is key. If I have to work hard to eat it, I most likely won't. So 15-30 min of cooking is a must.
I try and snack on nuts, fruits, and veggies.
Now that I've transformed my eating I've actually had a hard time hitting my calories. My goal is 1500 but I usually only hit 1000-1200. Never thought I'd see that day.
I'm so giddy, IT'S WORKING!
I didn't think it would, I thought I wouldn't see the progress, but I am. At my highest I was low 190's. Today, I made it to 179. I know it isn't much, but it feels like the world to me.
It's the motivation I needed. I can do this!
