I’m the worst dieter ever. I suck at it.
I’m 5’5” and was 165lbs at my highest weight. I went on Atkins and lost 40lbs. I think that’s what ruined me for all diets after that. I was 124 lbs when I met my husband at 17 and, in the past 5ish years, I’ve been fluctuating between 130 and 145. I’m definitely a yo-yo dieter.
My problem is that I love food. I eat when I’m happy, sad, stressed, bored…you name it. I eat when I’m not hungry and I don’t enjoy eating really healthy foods. Raw veggies and no carbs? It’ll never work for me because I’ll give up within a week.
I’m scared to weigh myself now, because I’ve been really bad lately and my work pants from August don’t fit anymore. Not good.
My plan, starting next week, is to simply eat no more than 3 meals a day, no fast food or dessert, plenty of water, around 1500 calories per day, and exercise whenever I can.
I actually cheat every weekend, and eat whatever I want. Might sound weird, but I still lose weight as long as I stick to the diet during the week.
135 lbs is my goal weight. We’ll see how it goes. I’m disgusted with myself now.
