Started dieting, doing calorie-counting almost a month ago. I was supposed to start as a new year's resolution, but there was some stumbling blocks on my first attempt. I'd tried doing a 'green-and-white' diet, where I'm not allowed to eat anything but vegetables and 'white' proteins (tofu, a light amount of chicken, and nuts). By the end of that first week on that diet, I'd gone into a feeding frenzy where I essentially ate nothing but junk food for three days.
So, I tried something different. I bough a scale, got a calorie-counting app, and started doing a bit of research on foods that were filling, nutritious, and only moderately calorie-dense. The rest of January was spent detoxing sugar and pop, and trying to work on portion control.
February, I actually started counting calories, and clocked my weight in at 327 lbs. Yes, I'm still allowed to go eat out at fast food places. Yes, I can still have a small amount of sugary foods. But the important parts are there: normal-sized portions, keeping track, and not going over the budget.
Jumped on the scale this morning, I'm down 10 pounds from the start of the month! I recalibrated my calorie budget too, and lost about 75 calories, but I can still work with that.
March's goal is to start exercising more often. I go on 30 minute walks on the weekends at the hockey rink/indoor circuit nearby, but I know that's not enough...
