24M, SW: 211, CW: ~205, GW: 170. Started taking weight loss and my healthy seriously just over 2 weeks ago. I go to the gym 5-6 times a week and focus on cardio with a decent routine of strength/abs I do with the gyms machines + at-home workouts.
I have STRUGGLED with food my entire life. I would eat healthy, hate it, and then force myself to eat it til I gave in to fast food and it was like my brain reset. Y’ALL, I’ve taken the time to learn recipes that are healthy for me and it’s re-ignited the love I’ve had for cooking. Of course I make all the good, simple things (boiled eggs, salads, etc), but I’ve been trying new ways to cook chicken, I’ve made spring rolls, I’ve been trying new spices, etc and I can definitely feel a mental difference in how I approach my food.
I do calorie count and trying to get better at accurately recording my intake, but so far, with a healthier diet and being consistent with the gym (albeit, I don’t stay SUPER long when I go, unless it’s the weekend - and losing weight is very much more so made in the kitchen), I’ve lost roughly 6 lbs. I’m still adjusting things, eating more when I need to do, but always making sure what I eat doesn’t feel like I’m forcing myself to eat it. It’s such a mental game and I still have a long way to go but food is good and there’s so many good things I didn’t realize I could do with it.
Drop your favorite foods you’ve eaten while on this journey! I’d love to try some new stuff
