So GAF I'm feeling pretty positive and I felt like making a thread.
This week marks one month of my diet change. I'm not on a diet, I've just changed the way I eat and it's how I'll eat going forward.
I started this at 307lbs and today I weigh 292. I'm still a big fat fatty, but I'm making nothing but progress and it's mostly a mental thing.
I've done multiple diets in the past to varying degrees of success, but being prepared to be hungry and having the will power to not eat like a glutton is all it's taking.
When you were raised to eat 3 meals a day and that's what you do your whole life and never count just how much that is it's easy to see how someone can think they're eating normally.
Simply cutting back to 1400-1800 calories a day and I'm losing nearly half a pound a day. I'm not stopping until I hit a weight I feel good at, not sure what that is yet, but I'm think 200lbs.
I'm a broad guy, I'll probably never be 150lbs but who knows.
I hope that in a few months I'll come back to this thread and post how I've reached my goal and that I've had to buy a whole new wardrobe lol.
For anyone struggling with weight all I've got to say is that you've got to be okay being hungry for a few weeks before it becomes the new normal. After that first hurdle it get's easier and easier day by day.
EDIT: For anyone curious I'm following the zig-zag method.
