Hi ! This is honestly just kind of unloading all of my thoughts but I feel like for the first time in my life I’m sticking to my goals and it isn’t a struggle to eat healthy and stay under calories !
I realized recently that for me to be successful in changing my habits I needed to shift my focus from how I look and make my goals more action based. I’ve been trying to fall in love with the process of becoming healthy. My goals are less “I’m going to eat x amount of calories because I want to weigh x lbs” and more “I want to eat a high protein, nutrient rich meal so that I feel good, and if my body changes along the way that’s just a bonus.” I’m still counting calories just to keep awareness of what I’m consuming, but I’ve let myself have meals or treats that would have sent me into a full on binge before and because nothing is “off limits” I’ve been better at stopping when I’m full and have ended almost every day staying under my recommended calories.
Throughout everything with COVID-19 I’ve also been trying to look internally whenever the stress of everything gives me the urge to binge. I’m getting better at identifying triggers and embracing what I’m feeling instead of trying to stuff it down with food. I also bought a wii to have something fun that keeps me active while my gym is shut down.
I’m literally one week into my journey lol but I’m sure a lot of you can relate to restarting weight loss throughout your life, and this time I feel like I’ve found something really sustainable that works for me and just wanted to share in case it might help someone else in their journey !!
Tl;dr: taking my focus off my weight/how I look, and prioritizing eating nutritiously and building strength and stamina has made weight loss feel easy and reduced my urge to binge
