I’m new here, so If I’ve done something incorrect with posting, let me know, but I did read the rules and stuff.
I’m starting my weight loss journey again for what feels like the millionth time, and despite trying to lose weight for years, I’m at my highest weight ever. I’m almost 300lbs and that is a milestone I never thought I’d be close to reaching. I remember the 200lb milestone being devastating and that was like 8 years ago. It seems like I’ll be able to lose 10-20lbs for a little while, then I get off track, and the overall trend is my weight steadily climbing. I’ve recently tried Noom twice, and feel like I picked up a lot of skills. I just always seem to fall into the same trap of giving into the instant gratification of eating something unhealthy (usually sweet or carb heavy) and then once I do it a couple times, it builds the wrong kind of momentum and I’m off track again. Then I have to rebuild my momentum to start again, which usually doesn’t happen until I see I’ve reached a new weight milestone. I try not to have things in the house but then get obsessed with cravings. Idk.
I’m also looking for more of a social support system with weight loss, as it often feels isolating. Even if my boyfriend is on the same page, he loses weight so much easier that it’s actually more demoralizing than supportive. My best friend is also trying to lose weight, but she trends towards more extreme methods, which are unsustainable for me and take me to a really negative headspace. I know it’s slow and steady, but I’m always slow and off track.
TL;DR: what tips and tricks do ya’ll have to help you stay on track and stay motivated? Long term, but especially short term. How to you not fall off track when the cravings hit hard?
