CICO

29 SW 255lbs CW 245lbs

I’ve tried so many of the fad diets out there.

Keto,

Soup diet

Weight watchers (I’m sure works for some but it’s too much relying on a phone for me)

Avoiding the basic “calories in calories out” cause I thought it would be way too annoying and difficult.

Here I am, 8 days in to CICO. Trying to stick to routine- it helps me not grab whatever. I’ve been doing a protein shake for breakfast, and a Tiffany plate for lunch (around 350 calories) and for dinner, I can pretty much make the regular meals I’ve been making for my family, but keeping a smaller portion, along with a salad on the side to fill up. last night at the end of the night I even had enough calories left to have half of a donut. I was worried about the scale this morning because of it, but I was still down half a lb. I know the weight loss will slow down plenty. I know there will be times that it is more difficult than others. But I am honestly really enjoying doing CICO.

I am going to start incorporating some light workouts. Due to my weight, walking 10 k steps leaves me sore the next day but once the weather gets nicer I will be taking my baby out for walks and trying to hit 10 k steps a day.

I am so relieved to be able to work ways around still having something sweet that I would most likely avoid while being on other diets. I really feel it will help me to consider this a lifestyle change and not a “diet”

I also feel soooo much better physically. Although there aren’t any changes to my body yet, I already feel way less bloated and more energized than before by cutting out the garbage I would usually eat.
