Disclaimer: I know a lot of people talk trash about it, saying you'll just put the weight back on immediately after you stop.
It's not that I think that the above isn't true, it's just that I think a lot of people think they're "done" after a diet helps them lose weight. But you're not done, it's supposed to be a lifestyle change. You have to keep going on the new pattern in order to keep the weight off, not go back to what was normal.
I've tried other things. I've tried keto, didn't do anything in 2 months. Noom, I cheated all the time. Etc, etc. The only thing that ever worked was a mental heth decline where I had about 3 snacks and otherwise didn't eat for an entire week and lost 10 lbs. Obviously that isn't sane or sustainable, and is not a lifestyle change. I gained a lot of weight in the military due to stress, and while I'm no longer gaining, I also can't seem to lose. Counting calories creates a lot of extra stress and anxiety for me, and maybe that's why I can't make it work.. The extra stress just yielding frustration isn't something easy to commit to. So I'd like to try to learn better portion control. I believe that I can get used to it, be able learn the new habit, and then stick with those portion sizes in real life afterward.
I'm not looking for arguments against it or other options, I'm just sharing I guess. Sharing that I'm ready to get back in the ring and try something different, and lose 30 lbs. It's been a while since I tried, and I'm afraid of more failure, but I have to TRY, right? Eventually I'll find the right strategy that works for me. And I'm also going to start seeing someone for my mental health again, hopefully that helps too!
I appreciate all the wonderful posts in this sub that I just quietly read and gain encouragement from. You're all amazing and inspiring, and I hope that I can eventually add my own success to the collection here.
