I made it an entire year of tracking my intake. I use Lose It! app and have been so faithful. I haven’t lost as much weight as I wanted to, only 45lbs. But man have I been happy to not gain weight this year. It’s been such an eye opening experience to see where my issues are. I recently started paying more attention to my macros and realize my sugar and fat intake is so high.
Also learning that some foods, like a simple ham sandwich, can be upward of 700 calories. And that measuring out your food really matters.
I have had a lot of weeks in the red, where I’m over by thousands of calories. But making myself be accountable for those weeks has been good for me.
Also realizing I do so much better on a diet of moderation vs cutting out whole food groups. I’m really sticking to the ‘Don’t make changes you can’t live with forever’. Because you’re girl is not going forever without french fires.
Someone on here said, “Don’t deny, delay” and that has also been life changing.
I will say the longer I’ve tracked, the easier it gets. My recipes and reoccurring foods are all saved in my app and easy to get to. My husband will help me weigh and measure foods and save barcodes to scan. He’s the best.
Just wanting to celebrate this moment, because it’s the longest I’ve stuck to anything and I’ve got a long ways to go.
Here’s to celebrating this moment again in 365 days!
