I keep gaining weight and I'm scared.
Stats: 5'3", 197lbs.
I've been wanting to lose weight so I set some small goals. So far, for a week now I cut out sugary drinks and sodas! Drinking only water. Nice! Stopped ordering take out for a week as well, also nice!
But I'm super frustrated. To lose weight I need to eat 1500 calories. I reach that goal, but by evening I end up getting hungry and eating up to 2000. I'm sedentary as hell so I don't understand why I get hungry.
Grocery shopping is an issue because I have a disorder (going to therapy for) in which I have a hard time doing that myself and I depend on my mother for it. She brings a lot of snacks home, so snacks, pasta, and eggs are all I end up eating. There will be times I ask her for ingredients for some recipes but she doesn't have the time to go to the grocery store to supply veggies or fruits every week. I don't think I have any consistency.
Should I just try to discipline myself all the way and eat one meal a day? What do I do? I know I can do this but why does it feel so hard? I feel so defeated for eating 2000 calories today. Any advice would be appreciated.
EDIT: wanna say thank you for all the suggestions so far. I look forward to getting some frozen veggies and looking into volume eating to see my options in recipes. Thank you everyone for keeping it very real. I may not respond to every response but I will read it and make note. 💕 I really appreciate the help.
