I've finally found a healthy way to lose weight! And I'm so excited! :D I have lost weight before; due to an eating disorder, later due to stress and depression (now I'm in a better place). I want to share how I've done it so far, even though I'm not done. I'm F26 170 cm and 71,1 kg. (5'7, 157 lbs).
I started to only count my snack calories, setting a max a week. First week were 2000 cal in just snacks. The number got lower and lower. Then I stopped counting snacks and counted calories for the whole day instead, starting on 2100 calories, went down to 1800. This helped me learn what's high and low in calories. I realised that I don't want to count every single day, so I made a mealplan with options/suggestions in the calorie range I want to eat for breakfast, lunch and dinner. This gave me a good idea of portion size when eating out and in general. I used to eat two of everything (incl healthy stuff), 2 tortilla wraps, 2 homemade burgers, 2 portions af lasagna. Everything. Now I eat 1 + greens. I eat of smaller plates and bowls at home and drink water before I eat. I tried IF, but it didn't work for me bc of my previous eating disorder. But it made me realize that I'm not hungry every morning right away, so some days I eat breakfast 4 hours after I wake up (other days 1 hour). I'm no longer scared of hunger, but yet not trying to starve myself.
And now I've lost weight in a healthy way I'm happy with, for the first time in my life!
My goal is 65-68 kg. Still need to lose 3-6 kgs.
(I've always been active with biking everyday for 15 km, rock climbing /working out 2-3 days a week, occasionally running and walks.)
