This is the first time I’m not doing a “diet”

I’ve been trying to lose weight forever trying lots of different things but this is the first time I decided not to do some sort of restrictive diet and I think it’s going really well! I’ve tried Keto, Paleo, OMAD, even vegetarian and vegan for weight loss and while some of these did work for a while, nothing has ever been successful long term.

My issue is that after a while, when I want to have a “cheat meal” it throws everything off and I just end up quitting all together. So now I’ve just decided to count all my calories and not really set any restrictions for myself besides that. This time I want to focus on developing a healthy lifestyle more than only focus on weight loss. I’ve quit drinking (9 days sober!), keeping hydrated and started exercising everyday. I love to snack so now I chose fruits and vegetables instead of chips and sweets. It hasn’t been very long yet but I already feel so much better.

It seems so simple but I spent so long thinking I wasn’t strong enough to lose weight this way and needed some sort of restrictive diet to keep me accountable, but now that I’m getting into the habit it’s so much easier than I thought. I’m not gonna weigh myself for a while and just focus on how I feel right now.
