You read it all the time. People saying "I've tried everything and I just can't lose weight", or "how do I lost weight". For me, I know exactly how to lose weight but I don't know why I can't do it.
I walk 15,000 steps 5x/week. Sometimes more. I try to monitor my food intake but I don't count calories. I know I need to do CICO but I find it difficult to measure out every single thing I eat. I just want to eat it, so I want package meals because I don't have to calculate the calories. They are loaded with salt and sugar and aren't good for me health wise.
I meal prep. Same problem. I have a hard time measuring everything out so I know exactly what I'm eating. I don't have the energy to do all of that. So I rough estimate it.
I snack, and it's getting better. I probably snack on too many carbs. I think I drink my calories too.
Sometimes it blows my mind because I don't think I eat that much food and for some reason I am so fat. Yesterday I ate leftover bulgar wheat with chickpeas (and more vegetables), i had a coffee, and had a veggie stir fry for dinner. I had two peanut butter cups and 8oz of an energy drink. That doesn't seem like that much food when I walked 18,000 steps yesterday.
I think it's just frustrating because I often think to myself, why would I want to live my life so I can match some societal idea of beautiful and healthy when I can just enjoy my food? Then I think but I just want to look at myself and love myself.
I know I'm all over the place. I know what I need to do. I need to measure out my calories exactly and stay between 1400 - 1600. I need to drink way more water. I need to meal prep. I get it. But every time I try, I fail.
This post was just me venting I guess.
