I am morbidly obese. I have tried losing weight for over 20 years, and the doctors just say “eat less, excercise more”. I’m 43 that has occured to me, thanks. No matter how hard I work at it, I lose 20 lbs, and then start gaining it back even if nothing has changed. Or even if I reduce my calorie intake again. Or increase my exercise. Its too the point that whenever I look in the mirror I just see a ft cw of a person. I never really learned to do makeup when I was younger, and Idk how to really learn now. Ive been told by friends to just watch some YouTube videos & experiment. When I do, I just see a ft cw with make-up on. Somethings are okay look wise, somethings are, “Oh dear, that’s a no”, but nothing is ever, “hey, I like this”. How do I figure out something that works for me?
(And yes, I know I need therepy- working on it- just trying to work on things I can control right now.).
This has helped me a lot. Cutting out sugar. No soda, no cookies, no candy. You will have a headache for about a week. Then you will notice you are not as hungry. You can go even farther and cut out white bread and white rice. Drink a lot of water especially that first week. I have daily headaches anyway. But now that I cut out sugar as much I can. The headaches aren’t as bad . I am not taking as much Tylenol as I used to. I still eat cake at special events. It is so hard to cut out sugar. Every day, you will fight with yourself. Like I want some mint chip ice cream from baskin robbins right now. I lost 10 since I went sugar free 2 weeks ago. Try it!!! But I warn you!!! It is very hard but worth it!!!
We did keto months, and ai didn’t touch sugar during that time. I lost 20 lbs in 2 weeks, 13 lbs in 2 more months, and started climbing back up.
