I’ve understood rationally, but haven’t subconsciously accepted, that I’m overweight. But I definitely am now, and my habits are only going to get worse if I don’t make drastic changes.
I’ve struggled to lose weight in the past. I eat my stress and sadness, or in celebration, or because I’m bored. I have a sugar addiction (like plenty of people), and Doordash makes it easy to get sweet/salty stuff even if I don’t bring anything bad into the house.
Not to mention, even though I’ll be perfectly ready to take the hard steps of CICO when I’m feeling good, I start slipping down that slope when the cravings/compulsions hit. One more day of not-great eating suddenly doesn’t seem like a big deal. Or even just one cookie…
I’m thinking of borrowing from the alcoholism recovery community: Just for today, I will not (over)eat.
My goal is to count calories and stick to 1,450kcal a day. That’s a daily deficit of 500-700kcal, aiming for a loss of 1lb to 1.5lbs a week. I also want to post here every week.
