Be honest!

Unfortunately a bunch of strangers on the internet can’t tell you why you can’t stick to it. Only you can answer that.

What I can tell you is that it doesn’t have to be complicated. It’s simply calories. You don’t have to give up certain foods or anything. You simply have to eat less, move more (preferably both) and stay within a calorie goal that is a deficit.

A good tool would be a food scale and weigh everything solid, measure everything liquid. Yes it’s daunting at first but you get used to it. Doing that will give you the knowledge and security knowing exactly how much you are eating so you truly know how many calories you have to work with. When you can’t weigh, do the best you possibly can.

It’s tough at first, but if you stick with it, every day, every meal, it will become second nature!

Do you want it enough to work for it? Are you willing make some changes to get to where you want to be? \

Weight loss is simple and yet difficult. Eat sufficiently to support the weight you want to weigh. If you exercise, you will need to consume more calories. The choices you make impact your total physical, psychological and emotional health. It is difficult because you must undo very entrenched habits, you will need to change automatic behaviors. Eating is ingrained into our survival, but also our social lives, we use it to cope with anxiety. Some of these aspects will be more difficult than others.

But the good news is you dont have to do an abrupt 180. In fact, it might be better to work on 2 maybe 3 habits at a time. You are better off developing life long healthier habits and skills.

So it is as simple as move more and eat healthier; and it is as difficult as changing a lot of behaviors. But you dont have to reboot your entire life at once. A habit or two at a time will get you there and keep you there.
