Getting there. Almost 30kg down

Thank you!

Well my goal was 1200 but wasn't working for me, because i'm not active and atm i don't work. Plus i'm not excersising at all. So it ends up around 1000 which i know it's bad for most people, but i srsly dont burn ANY calories whatsoever. And when i do, i make sure to eat more than 1000.

I wish i would excersise and stop procastinating, when i do i will eat more calories for sure. My key to success after 27 years of severe obesity is re-inventing your diet from scratch. Now, i obviously have free time atm to cook everything without having to buy premade things, but if you can find free time do it, it will change your life.

I discovered so many new things i love to eat, for example spinach with herbs tomato and a bit of rice (i can share recipe if u want) which is soooooo tasty, calories wise you can pretty much eat the whole pot, and it's super healthy and good for you.

I avoid foods that i can't digest in 2-3 hrs aswell (most meats for example), i want my meals to be light and helps me tons.

For the recipe, don't get to crazy on the ingridients because it depends on your preference. But the basic recipe is 1kg Spinach
Few spring onions (can use 1 normal onion instead)
Some dill (depends on how u prefer it)
parsley
2 big ripe tomatoes or tomato sauce (again depends on how red-ish you want it)
olive oil
salt pepper
rice (for 1kg i would add 3-4 tablespoons of rice, you could add way more but rice has some calories)

Basically heat up some olive oil (medium heat) add onions and dill and wait few minutes till onions become transparent. Then add the tomato sauce and shortly after the rest of your greens. Give them 1-2 minutes and then add water (7-8 glasses) and let it boil for 15 mins. When the spinach is cooked, add your rice lower the heat and wait until the rice is cooked and absorbs the water (sometimes, depending on rice you might have to add a bit more water).

As for the hunger, i will explain excactly what i did.
When i started this journey i decided to give my self a small period of not counting calories but eating as healthy as i could. I would usually eat roasted veggies and quinoa, salads with chicken, oats or weetabix with coconut milk, tuna salads and tons of fruit. All these foods are healthy but i would eat really large portions at first and then gradually cutting down my portions, day by day. At this point, i wasnt counting calories, i was just making sure i eat healthy foods, no sodas, no sugary things or candies. It took me about 3 weeks till i hit my calorie goal, and i didn't have to try at all. I think the fact that i was eating healthy foods balanced my appetite, i had no cravings for junk whatsoever and i would wake up everymorning feeling more energized and fresh than ever before.

If you're struggling to start a diet, try this way. Eat large portions at first but make sure the food is as healthy as it could be, no guilt. I would still lose weight by eating these large portions, just not that much. I just let my body do the rest of the work for me really, as soon as i fed it properly it stopped craving that much food!


Thank you all for your nice comments, if this helps even 1 person i would feel extremely happy

Thank you!
My biggest plateau was at 79-80 aswell. Just keep going and keep the calories but maybe try changing the quality of food? Or try less calories like 1300.
It's a trial and error process, until you find what works best for you!

No problem! I wish you success, and please come back and update me on your progress.
Don't give up!
I gave up so many times in my life, i've been obese my whole life. It's the only time i sticked on a diet and i'm so proud and happy. Being comfortable in your own skin is so fullfilling, way more than any food or lazy day will ever be!

You can do it!!
