I've always struggled with my weight, probably for the last 15 years or so. I have tried various methods to try and lose weight and be "healthy" but I always end up failing.
I think a big part of this is because I never complete the "full" picture - If I focus on the gym, I neglect the food or if I focus on the food, I neglect the gym etc. until my brain tells me that I'm slacking and then I inevitably give up.
A lot of my issues with food stem from emotional issues & environmental influences - I come from a household where health was put last and short term pleasure was at the forefront. This isn't an excuse but it is my reality - And now that I am at my wits end, I spoke to a therapist who gave me some really interesting advice.
"Instead of trying to change yourself by going to the gym, eating right - why don't you try and live each day like a healthy person would?" I.E. Eat like a healthy person would, sleep like a healthy person would, move like a healthy person would. Essentially, fake it till you make it.
I thought this was quite interesting and something I'm going to try, but then I realised I don't really know what healthy people do - I'm so surrounded by unhealthy people that my assumption is severely flawed.
So a request, from those of you who have successfully lost the weight you want and are now living in that success please can you share with me what your day to day life looks like?
What kind of things do you eat? How much/what exercises do you do? How much are you sleeping? Drinking? Alcohol? etc.
Appreciate this may be a weird/dumb post - but it is something I want to try and would value your input.
