Hello and welcome!
I definately agree with Lena about starting a diary. It's very helpful in keeping you on track and accountable. It's also a good way to express your feelings which I think also helps. Another thing that has helped me a lot of other people is to keep track of your
calories. A very easy way to do this is by going to:
FitDay - Free Weight Loss and Diet Journal You can search the foods you eat, select it and it counts the cal's for you! And if you can't find a food you ate, you can always add your own custom food. Not only that but you can keep track of your
fitness, weight goals, etc. It's a very useful site.
It's always good to be able to see how many cal's certain foods are and also see as a whole the types of foods you're eating. I know using fitday I noticed I wasn't eating enough fruits and veg, etc. I don't know what kind of food you eat, but make sure you do get your fruits, veggies, lean proteins, whole grains, etc. I try not to fry anything, I use my grill (I don't need to use any oil or butter or anything on it, so the meat doesm't get extra cals from that). It's little things like that, that can make a big difference.
Good luck on your
weight loss journey! If you start a diary, let me know, I'll be happy to come check it out!
