I've been overweight for a few years now. But I realized I'd moved into obese on my BMI. That was it. I decided to change my life. Not diet, I have to change the way I eat overall. I mean right now I'm on restricted calories, im staying between 1200 and 1500 depending on how much moving around I get in. But no food is off limits or anything, not if I really want it. I just have to plan my meals and limit the portion of whatever yummy thing it is im craving. Im actually surprised at how well I can eat and how much of many foods.
Im doing this through Noom. But any way you do it that focuses on healthy eating, CICO, getting more exercise in.. walking stretching etc. and not looking at foods for the most part as good or bad, just food, is a great way to lose weight. And I think its important not to hate ourselves when we slip here and there. Thats the one I work hardest on. Because I'm just cruel to myself, which depresses me and makes me want to lose myself in sweet and savory treats.
In any case...I've lost 11 lbs since Dec 17. And I feel so happy and energetic. It really does make a difference when you fill the tank with a lot more lean proteins, fruits and veggies, and less processed munchies. I even have the energy to walk a few km every day now, without it being a big deal. That was SO hard the first couple of weeks :) And I still have the odd sweet thing or handful of chips!!
