I've been oversweight since early childhood. Really packed it on when I reached about 14. I didn't care like most at that age and only started weighing myself at about 23.
At my heaviest I've been 280Lb on a 6ft frame. At my lightest I've gotten down to 225lb. That's when I met my now 4+ year girlfriend(like diets i haven't committed to marriage either) and the weight hasn't done that relationship well.
Well, I'm 29 and I became really depressed thinking how being 260lb was going to wreck my body as I transitioned into my 30s and shortly thereafter my 40s. The pains are already starting due to my weight.
So, I tossed all food in my place to a friend and slapped together a reasonably complete meal plan. It turned out to be vegan. Been vegetarian for awhile so it's not much of a transition.
I start with dried fruits and cashews for my first snack and breakfast.(Still haven't figured out a good breakfast yet, feel free to throw some 300 Cal ideas) and then comes my lunch of a edemame hummus wrap followed by a coconut milk and lentil curry with brown basamati rice. Then I have aright-before-bed snack of some more fruit and nuts. This all equalling to about 1600 calories.
Started out at about 250 and I've wiggles myself down to 243 in 2 weeks.
Meal prepping in a day is a lot of cooking. But I'm so happy because this scheduled mealtimes with very little veriety has really helped me disconnect my need to continually eat.
I scared myself a little the other day when I went out for dinner with my partners family and I felt like I could eat everything in front of me. And I just about did. I felt so groggy and just wrong later on. But I'm back on my meal plan as scheduled.
Open to feedback, but other than occasionally swapping things out for more nutritionaly completel meals im pretty set on eating the same thing.
