Really Struggling
Answers
-
Start small, e.g. just with water, or something you eat every day.

Small goals, start with a small walk, then gradually build from that, once momentum and confidence builds then you will definitely progress

It is crucial to identify 'why' you want to be your best. I understand; it seems we all want that. But I found that until I identified and visualized what I wanted, I struggled. Struggle is good! It means you recognize that you do not want to stay where you are. Change is a process! So, congrats on being here! I hope that helps.

I found what is working for me ( I am not diabetic or anything.. had high BP, but that seems to have dissipated too) is eating less. I do not eat more than twice a day and I just make sure that I am getting LOTS of good protein. Six Star Whey Protein and Nutricost EAA are what I have been using for protein, now, especially because I can not (due to dental work and waiting on a crown and my partial back) eat chewy foods. I have lost over 45lb in 6 mo. I was working on all carnivore... but not at the present time.

I am just really struggling to not eat more than I need to. I am super emmbarresed of my weight.

@ mouser & gmmvu6. I get it, finding appropriate high protein food I enjoy (for satiety) and incorporating Berberine into the supplement plan has been helpful. I also research, read, and watch videos that support and inspire goals. How wonderful that you are here facing your weight challenges. Confidence, courage, change, commitment can subdue any embarrassment and struggles...wishing you much success on this journey.

I think reducing the amount you eat is hard in the beginning but once get over that initial shock and hunger hump, it gets easier. Finding activities that keep you busy so that you are not hyper focused on food can help pass the time. Your stomach is a muscular sac. It stretches to hold larger meals and contracts when you regularly eat less. Over time, if you consistently eat smaller portions, your stomach doesn't stretch as much, and you may feel full faster. And if you can make it with smaller portions or lower calorie foods for 2-3 weeks, your brain relearns your new normal and you won't have the same cravings. You can do it! It is tough at first, but your body adapts!
