History: Approximately 20 years ago I bought a Fitbit. I was intrigued by the walk 10,000 steps/day for weight loss. I proceeded to become obsessed with walking and tracking my calories. For 6 months, I kept my calories between 1,200-1,300 calories (except 1 day a week was a cheat day, up to 1,500-1,600 calories) and at least 15,000-17,000 steps/day. I lost 65 pounds and felt great. Except then I saw myself in the mirror I looked too thin (I wasn’t even at the ideal weight for my height). Of course I lost my motivation to continue and gained all the weight back and then some.
Over the years, I’ve tried to go back to calorie counting and walking but it never sticks.
Fast forward to today. I’m at a loss on how to lose the weight and walking. I have a desk job. I can get up and walk thru the factory, but I spend most of my day at a desk. Currently I’m 63 and 235 pounds, and really only want to lost around 40 pounds. I want to feel better, not be out of breath, and not be tired when I get home from work.
I’m not sure how to change my mindset. I can get started walking, try for a week and then I stop. Same with the calorie counting but that seems to only last for a day or two.
I guess what I’m trying to ask, does anyone have any ideas on how I can get my mind to change and not stop me before I’ve even gotten started?
