This is something I’ve struggled with myself.
Something that helped me was looking for things to cook that I was excited to eat but were still healthier than the things I’d be eating otherwise.
It’s harder to keep eating the food you “should” be eating if you don’t like it as much. Teaching yourself that healthy food is boring makes you want junk food more.
I’ve heard that junk food is increasingly being viewed as addictive by experts. It’s packed with things we naturally crave because they’re scarce in nature like fat and sugar, and have a place in a healthy, balanced diet.
To make sure every meal you eat is as satisfying as possible, make sure it has a source of protein (like meat, tofu, chickpeas), carbs (potatoes, rice, pasta) and fat (like dairy or avocado).
Are you exercising? Do you know how much activity you’re getting every day? Dieting is important to weight loss, but so is a healthy amount of physical activity (which can feel like a lot because it’s normal to move around less than we should each day). Exercise can also build muscle that helps your body burn more calories — At least I think that’s how it goes.
I knew getting in shape would take time, and that made me want to give up instead of start. I’ve been actively working on losing weight for a year as of August, and I’ve still got a ways to go, but the journey has felt wonderful. Going down sizes in clothing, people in my life being impressed by my progress and dedication have all felt great. Not to mention that exercise has short term benefits like improving your mood and blood circulation. The process itself is rewarding.
