Back when I thought I was fat, to be that fat again .... |
Of course I am still trying to lose weight and get in shape but it is not because what I do doesn't work it is because I don't stick with it.
I have decided to better be able to stick with counting calories I need to focus on smaller reductions at a time.
In the past I have cut myself down to 1200 calories because I want to weigh 120 lbs. Well, that is never going to happen! I don't even have the bone structure anymore for that to look healthy. So, I decided to work on getting down to 160 lbs first. I can handle eating 1600 calories or less a day. Once I am down to that weight I will knock it down to 1500 calories. This way I am not feeling so deprived and stressed.
Today I didn't even hit my 1500 calories because it just worked that way. It is ok though I don't have to reach that amount each day, I just can't have more than that.
I hope to be down at least 5 lbs by the end of the week.
For dinner I was even able to have a hot dog because it is a lower calorie one. I feel good about today....
My is self control on portions, I know I can lose weight, like you its sticking to it and not potato chips.
ReplyDeleteOh wow chips are my downfall. I love them so much! BBQ are the best or rather worst lol...
DeleteIt is so hard to have self control...
I love your hot pepper background!
ReplyDeleteI'm going to be relaunching my own weight loss adventure on the 1st of August. I always do calorie counting because its easiest. But I also find it very annoying and always eventually stop.
Need to stay motivated.
I always give up on it too. Especially when I set my goals to far out. Maybe the shorter term goals will help..
DeleteKeep checking in here and update me on your progress too... Good luck!
