Day 1 and struggling already :(

That's how I used to be. For me, my body wasn't used to a what I call "normal" eating. I was stuffing my face constantly so my body was used to that much calories going in. When I changed, it was very hard but I just kept at it, every day became easier and easier. Something that also helps me is to chew gum (sugar free for me) and to drink water when I feel the urge to eat. Sometimes your body is just telling you that you're dehydrated, but your brain thinks your hungry. Hopefully this helps! Good luck!

I made the mistake of trying to lose to many lbs in one week. Defiantly make sure your calorie intake is high enough. You will be less hungry during the day, and you will lose weight much easier. I couldn't believe I had to eat MORE to lose. Lol

Try to find a Bouari Clinic (Non-HCG) Their program produces amazing results. It's safe & simple. Most people including me report no cravings or hunger if you simply forget what you think you know about dieting & DO WHAT THEY TELL YOU. I dropped 44 lbs. in 5 weeks & feel great. You don't count calories, but I use Fitness pal to record what I eat because it's easy to reference. Everything they told me initially has been correct. It is almost unbelievable how effective their program is.

wait till you start to say i choose i choose so that you dont have health problems at aGE 50
I CHOOSE VEGGIES
I CHOOSE WATER
EVERY DAY SAY I CHOOSE

Good idea to change your goal down so you are not starving. You can do this. You are a strong powerful woman. Did you forget that? Good luck, we are rooting for you!

First week or two tough. I dropped my caloric intake by probably 1000+ a day and so yes I was hungry all the time. Got through it with grapes and nuts and other things that were more healthy than the endless open bag of chips. After some point my calorie demand came down even though I had ramped up the activity of all sorts, walking mostly. Joined the gym after about a month of "dieting".
In short, the weight fell off. 35 pounds to be exact over a 6 month period. It took me 30 years to gain and only 6 months to lose so I figure that is a pretty good result as I am now at BMI 25. As everyone else says, drink water. But sometimes that's not enough, so eat some nuts, carrots and grapes or whatever works for you. You will do it, I am sure.

It takes time. Dont beat yourself up. It is hard to change bad habits to good ones. I heard it take 21 days to form a habit. We have to try and eat right and exercise. That is a lot to try and accomplish. It doesn't happen in one day.:happy: Little baby steps is good. Just keep trying. Don't give up. We ALL have bad days.
You can do it.

Hey the 1st week is probably the hardest to get your body used to it, but you many try high fiber snacks and foods so that you stay full longer. Also try eatting 5-6 smaller meals. Maybe every 2 hours. You may try chewing gum, and drink plenty of water. But probably the best advice is make sure you have a plan so that if you get hungry you don't just grab and start eatting anything you can get your hands on. Trust me it will be worth it in the end, and remember too slow and steady wins the race, it's not the person that loses the most in one week it's the one that endures til the end!!

Nice to meet you, I'm Slovakia!
Okay, I'm just being a smart aleck.

I would change your weight loss goals to 1 lb per week, or even 1/2 lb per week. Exercising regularly will earn you more calories to eat back as well. Also, choose your meals wisely; including many lower-calorie foods (such as vegetables) allows you to eat a larger volume of food while still meeting your nutritional goals. Other good ideas include drinking more water, eating more fiber, or adjusting your macronutrient ratios to allow for more protein and fat, which may keep you feeling satiated longer. Remember, though, whenever you change your eating habits, the first week or two is the hardest. It's completely normal to struggle, but you can and will succeed!
