Just Tracked My Food For a Whole Week!

Hi! This time last week I was here crying about my fears regarding not having a rock bottom. I got so much kindness and advice from people and it really helped put things into perspective.

I always hype up weight loss and go from 0-100 immediately. And then when I inevitably fail, I fail spectacularly. So I decided to start slower than I ever have before.

I calculated my TDEE and downloaded a calorie and macro tracking app. I knew that looking at a weekly calorie target instead of a daily one would keep me from getting discouraged if one day went off the rails, so I set up my target intake for the week and aimed for that.

Then I just tracked. I spent 1 day seeing exactly how much I usually eat, and looked at where I felt I could make small changes. My days didn't always go perfectly but I ended my week in a small calorie deficit.

I feel good! I like this community and want to stick around! Thanks to everyone who gave advice and was kind to me last week! It really pulled me out of a not so great place!
