I'm almost 400 pounds and I suffer from depression. I've tried almost every diet imaginable but I always fall off within 1 day. My problem is I drink about 5 nesquik chocolate milk a day, 5 pepsi's, fast food and snacks through out the day. I drink absolutely no water and I walk literally about 30 steps a day.
Yesterday I got a gleamer of hope. What if I eat the food that I have a hard time with but count the calories? Today I ate a roast beef sandwich, small fries, 1 can of pepsi and a gallon of water. I'm too fat to exercise regularly but I bought a vibration plate and I stood on that for an hour. I sweated on that machine more than I have in years.
I feel like this is a good start for me until I can learn to cook the right food. However, I'm apprehensive. My "diet" is almost too good to be true.
I tacked everything through my fitness pal and it says my calorie intake is 1000 with everything else in the goal too... fats, carbs, sugar, sodium, etc.
I'm not hungry, I'm happy and I feel empowered. I'm also embarrassed and feel like I'm kidding myself. Can I actually start to lose weight like this, eat anything I want as long as I stay under 1200 calories?
Eta: Thank you everyone for your inputs! I feel weird, like this time is different. Like I'm going to finally lose the weight this time. I've finally realized that I'm not on a diet per se but I'm changing my habits. Thank you all for the encouragement as well. I agree that 1000 calories is too few. I'm going to aim for 1800-2000.
