So, at 17, I weigh 94kg (207lbs). I always hated how I looked in the mirror. And every time I climb just a single flight of stairs, I feel bad (physically and mentally). I may seem like a confident person to my friends, but deep down I'm so insecure. I don't know why but as of now, I want to do something about it. I do have questions tho so I'd love it if you guys can help!
- For counting calories, I determined that I need to keep my intake at 1800-2000. But I don't know which one to count in. Like do I use the kcal value or the calorie value in food packaging. Can anyone clarify?
- How regularly should I weigh myself? I know weighing daily can be demoralising but I still wanna keep track of it/any progress. So should I do every week? Every 2 weeks? Monthly?
- How do I cut out junk food & drinks effectively? A major source of my weigh is junk food - white chocolates, chips, coca-cola, etc. I can't cut it out all at once cuz the cravings are just to strong. So how can I go about this.
- How can I keep up my changes? In the past, I have tried to make changes (exercise, stopping sugary drinks, etc.) but I would always stop eventually. So no progress is made.
- How do I calculate calories in homemade food? The bulk of my diet is homemade food and rice. I don't see any possible change in this in the next few years. So how do I go about this?
- How much water should I be drinking? A lot of videos I watched say that drinking loads of water is key. But I don't know how much and how regularly? Sometimes I just forget to drink cuz I'm so focused on school work.
As always I'll appreciate any help and advice you guys give. My goal is to get to about 70kg (154lbs) by this time next year. I'm already trying to limit the amount I eat (cutting it down) for a week but no changes. Please help and thanks for reading! Looking forward to your replies.
