what honestly helped me lose the weight

I've lost close to 20kg in the last 6 months. And I wanted to share whats honestly worked for me. Ive had a long history of binge eating and I've broken that in these past 6 months with the following habit changes:

Firstly I made the decision to stop eating out. Period. To mainly save money. Instead I invested time into learning how to cook homemade meals. I believe everyone NEEDS to learn how to cook. This basic life skill is critical. Homemade food drastically reduced how many calories I would eat and how full I would feel.

After this, I started changing the types of food I was cooking. And paying attention to how different foods made me feel. For example I notice I'd feel more full eating protein so I upped my intake. I noticed how eating sugar would make me eat more of it and put me in a shitty mood so I've avoided it. You really need to focus on the foods you're putting in your body and think about what every ingredient will do for your body.

And by being more mindful immediately my moods were improving, I had more energy, I would be fuller longer.

I also replaced sugary snacks with drinking tea and coffee and any healthier options. One by one. Allowing myself time to get used to it. I'm still a long way from perfect. But this definitely helped me stop binge eating, and break my bad habits that had kept me fat my whole life.

Also I didn't calorie count at all. It would make me way too obsessed and keep food on my mind which would have led to binges in the past.

I hope sharing my experience helps atleast one person because this community definitely inspired me in my weight loss journey :)
