I have always made excuses or thought why am I not seeing better results, I'm starving! now I have made it my life, all I think about is "what am I going to do today to make me healthier?" not "ugh!, I don't wanna work out!" it's almost been the opposite for me, I used to be so lazy and now I almost get excited when I get to go walking, I try to push myself, and it always feels great when I make myself go further than I thought I would, I always keep my goals in mind, and I'm eating, eating like crazy, I almost had a hard time at first keeping up with the calories, but I didn't just not eat, because I know how the starvation thing works, you have to eat, it will not come off faster the lower you go with calories, it catches up to you, you binge, hold all those binge calories and start it all over again, I've been doing it for years, but now I have a steady diet going, I allow a treat maybe once a week, I turn completely away from the foods I thought I loved because it will take time for me to change my habits, one full month of almost nothing but veggies, veggie burgers, and chicken. when the month is over I will allow myself healthy snacks like nuts, and will forever have to stay away from the real treats, otherwise I will just fall back in to the same routine, it takes a lot of work, and you have to talk yourself through it every day. I quit smoking 3 months ago, and have been losing an average of 4lbs a week for the last 3 weeks, and I feel so much better about myself even though my journey has just started.
