I have read some very useful tips that helped me lose 43lbs over the summer.
Firstly I had to make losing weight a priority. I realized that Im basically shortening my life just so I can over eat and end up feeling like a failure when Im grossly full.
Just because you ate something unhealthy doesnt mean you failed and have to try another day or week or month. Dont see one failure as total failure, is the best way to put it.
Dont get distracted while your eating. This is probably the most important. When you eat while watching tv your brain forgets its eating and gets distracted by the tv. Next thing you know your plates empty and your uncomfortably full, eat slowly and drink water this way you can eat until your satisfied and because you drank that water, your hydrated.
Drink lots of water. Idk how many times this has happened but I always end up over eating because Im not hydrated. The reason why is because you can mistake being hungry for being thirsty and end up over eating.
Exercise. Doesnt have to be intense, a simple walk is still exercise.
You can eat garbage and still lose weight. I do this alot and its mostly due to cravings. Heres what I do, I eat what Im craving but only until Im satisfied. Its easy just ask yourself "am I satisfied yet?" And if I am than I'll drink water and wait till dinner or supper or when Im hungry.
Ask yourself if you should eat yet. If you dont feel hungry dont eat. If you feel kinda hungry then dont eat. If your starving than eat. I almost always eat when Im hungry so its a good idea to not snack so you know when your hungry.
I hope these help, btw Im no dietician this is just what worked for me.
