I game-ified my weight loss (first week compete)

I'm in the high 200s and lost 10 lbs my first week, mostly by game-ifying my intake.

I used to eat to avoid ever feeling hunger. I used to eat to sooth sadness. I used to eat just for the pleasant experience.

There were multiple triggers that finally got me to take my weight seriously. Mostly, I injured my knees from normal hiking and they weren't getting better.

I have changed my mindset to, "What's the least I can eat right now?" And "can I sleep with this level of hunger?" And "every day where I eat less than 2000 calories is a victory." And, "try this for 6 months and see how far I get." And, "I need to be lighter so I can exercise." And, "choose high protein because I may not eat much today."

So far so good. I hope it continues to work. I'm hopeful I can start exercising (aerobics) in a month or two, and be back in "onederland" in 6-12 months.
