I was originally going to post this after I had lost weight so I can show that it works, but I decided to post it now instead so anyone else can contribute to this advice if they want to.
How do you lose weight?
Physically? Eat less, move more.
Mentally and emotionally? It's a bit more complicated. I'll show you some things I've learned.
No bullying. Never beat yourself up for not meeting your goals, for not doing enough or for any reason.
It's not a diet. It's a lifestyle change. If you haven't started already, you start now. Don't wait until you hit rock bottom. Don't wait for the start of the year or the start of the month. Start today if you haven't already.
Tell yourself every day that you will live a healthy lifestyle. I'm religious so praying out loud helps. If you don't pray just say it out loud. You can say it to someone or just to yourself. It has to feel real emotionally. Even if your actions don't align with your words. Say it out loud and mean it. That's not hypocrisy. It just means you're struggling.
Eat like a regular person. Does a regular person eat a slice of cake at a birthday party? Yeah. 10 slices of cake? No. Keep reminding yourself to eat like a normal person. You can allow yourself to enjoy a treat once in a while guilt free, but don't go too far.
Don't try to increase your willpower. Try to optimize it. If waking up early to work out is too hard, but you have more energy in the evening, work out in the evening. If you can't resist a certain food, don't buy it or only buy it in small amounts. Look for will power you already have and use it to your advantage.
