I have tried numerous times trying to slim down and I usually end up cycling back into my old habits. I haven't kept track of exactly when I started, but it's somewhere between the 1-2 month range. I didn't have a scale at the time of me starting my new "diet", but I'm guessing it was somewhere around 170lbs.
Over the last two months I've been slowly changing my diet. I would drink between 3-4 cans of soda or two bottles of soda a day. While it's not the best or healthiest substitute I have shifted from having those sodas to having a bang energy drink every other day during work. I still have the occasional soda twice a week now, but limit it to just one can if I do. I would also frequently go to the nearby gas station by my work and get a bbq sandwich which in itself already has 800 calories to it.
I'm currently 157lbs and visually I can't see a difference from when I started but I want to continue to lose the weight. I've actively been trying to shop healthier when I go to the store and have been packing my lunches for work (Yoplait light, grapes/tangerines, and a banana.)
I've been following a very loose idea of what I'm taking in, not wanting to consume more than 1500 calories a day. I feel it has become kind of part of my life at this point, counting calories, saying no to offers of junk food, and even purchasing unhealthy food as well (sun chips get the occasional pass)
I'd like to get back in shape, but not sure if I'm still not doing enough. I know if I exercised more that it would help my calorie deficit and definitively lose more weight, but feel if I put myself onto that type of regime I might overexert myself and just end up cycling into my old habits. I want to reach my goal of being at a healthy 130, and any advice you could give would be appreciated. Thanks for coming to my tedtalk
TLDR: Want to hit 130lbs weight goal without stressing myself out.
