There are some great suggestions above. Start small and find the ones that appeal to you. But just START!!! When I started on my weight loss journey, I'm not sure I thought I would ever get to where I am now - but I took one day at a time.
- I set my goals. WHAT did I want and most importantly - WHY???
- I made a plan for HOW I would do it. Planned my food a week ahead, planned time to do some exercise. Walking is enough to start out.
- Threw out all junk and packaged food or anything that was a "trigger" for me to binge.
- Logged my food on MFP every single day - regardless of whether it was good or bad.
- Stayed within my allocated calorie allowance.
- Listened to podcasts on diet and health - every single day - gets my head in the right space. Even if I don't agree with it - I'm thinking about health..
- Read a lot of books on diet, health... Wheat Belly. I Quit Sugar. The Smarter Science of Slim. The New Rules of Lifting for Women. Drop 2 sizes. The Primal Blueprint. Weight Loss Warrior. the Body Fat Solution.... the list goes on!!!
- I also joined a gym, saw a PT, started a weights programme and I have never looked back.
Keep moving forward!!! You can do anything you set your mind to!0
