It's not extreme, it's not insane, but I'm so happy. I'm making good progress, but most importantly, I've had a lifestyle change I can keep up forever
I didn't eat particularly unhealthy, but I've dealt with disordered eating. I've had times when I would starve myself. And my idea of rexovery was eating without caring about what or how much. Now I have a perfect balance: i eat enough, and I'm able to watch what I eat without spiraling down into disorder.
It's all thanks to counting calories. I have a few basic meals I often eat: gnocchis and half a schnitzel, pasta and half a cordon bleu, chicken curry, etc... I have a few snacks I usually eat: cheese rolls, watermelon, apple, banana, yoghurt etc... I know approximately how many calories are in each, so I combine them to reach between 1400 and 1700 kcal a day. It's very easy to do. Just measure them once and write it down.
Anothr change I did is only eating half of a schnitzel or piece of chicken or condon bleu or steak etc... I realised the only reason I ate a whole one is because that's how it's packaged. And half is well enough for me. It also means half the calories. I would definitely recommend doing this. Don't rely on packaging, rely on what is enough for you
Also, i haven't eaten candy or chocolate in a long while. I simply don't buy them and now I don't have any cravings for them. I'm not giving them up completely, I just don't buy them myself.
I also started eating a lot of protein yoghurt. I don't know if this has contributed in any way, but I like to think that it's helping me gain muscle
These are all the little things I've done to lose weight. I've become healthier and most importantly, I can keep this up firever. This isn't a process, it's a permanent change. I'm hoping some of these things might also work for you. My weightloss hasn't been dramatic, but I'm already a healthy weight and just wanted to lose that little bit extra. If this is your case, these might help. And don't worry if it's slow. Slow is good
Good luck all of you. I wish you well
