Friends needed

Hey, I'm Ella. Good luck. :]

From my experience - The being hungry thing hasn't gotten easier. Everyday I reach my calorie limit and feel like I'm starving myself, so I keep asking myself, "is this healthy?" So right now I think I'm just going to weigh my food and get used to water and not worry about the logging everyday until I can get used to not always being so hungry all the time.

Eating for me is the hardest thing. I have always had a massive appetite, however I'm not active, so that's what's causing the problem. Yesterday I ate most of 1350 calories by 7am with only 81 left, so I wasn't able to eat anything the rest of the day. I went to bed and when I woke up I was like, "I CAN'T take this anymore!" Everyday I reach my calorie goal and I cry and I have a breakdown because I'm like, "what am I supposed to do now since I don't have any calories left?" But being a diabetic I knew I had to eat, because going hours and hours without eating can be dangerous. Now I'm eating and I'm making sure I at least weigh my food so I get used to serving sizes before I get too involved in my logging. Honestly, part of the problem with all this too is I didn't even know what calories were until last summer when I came to this site, and this is my 2nd time doing this. Yeah I'd see calories written on every food label I saw at the grocery store, but I was completely unaware that I was only supposed to eat a certain amount of them everyday. I feel like eating a certain way my entire life and learning something new and telling myself I have to eat that way right away is what's also causing all this anxiety and all these breakdowns. I think if I just keep working at it and doing it slowly so I can get my way into it and let my body adjust it'll be easier on me that way.

yes...what' tzkully said. starving not good. I dropped 40lbs 3 years ago. took me just over 4 months but, I was on a mission! lol Did it by staying just under my calorie goal and doing elliptical and/or jogging 2 times a day. Maintained for 2 years and put back on about 20 in 2015. Have to get back in routine like I was 3 years ago.
