The longer I've been doing this, (since June) I'm finding myself making MUCH better choices because I actually PREFER the way I am eating now. And I'm eating more volume than previously, I'm stayimg in a calorie defecit and seeing the difference. These healthy, low fat, high protein foods taste GOOD to me, and are my choice over other things I would previously have had (all but eggs, struggling to eat eggs 🤢). Using lots of different seasonings to keep chicken interesting and different. Cravings subsiding, sweet tooth mostly gone (except after dinner some days, why???) and easier to bypass things that aren't in my macros or my daily food plan. I can have them if I want to, but I choose NOT to. So many things have lost their appeal. Odd how that has happened for me. The only time I really feel stong cravings now is when I'm running on lack of sleep, super stressed at work, been too long between meals or have not had enough water yet. I'm looking at my calories now and for that last meal if I hadn't pre-planned well, I'm deciding "what protien can I have with those calories?" vs. "Can I have dessert?" That's a switch!

I am starting to enjoy being at the gym I feel more locked in than I ever have!! Let’s fucking go!

It took me 10 months but with serious dedication and commitment to my goal I have officially lost 101 lbs I went from 285 to 184 and fucking loving myself more now then I ever have in my life time for the next steps of my journey to begin

Being a 580 pound guy makes wanting going to the gym extremely hard! But I have made it 2 work outs in a row let’s go!! I told my self I need to commit no matter what! And today I am showing up for my self

3 day getaway to Vegas, stayed within my meal plan (except for 1 bite of a really good Cuban sandwich and 1 bite of a really good steak dip......oh bread.....🤤 ) Well exceeded water intake every day, 13k steps both Friday and Saturday. Missing sleep but pretty pleased with the choices I made when we ate out. Breakfast in room every day, Fage 0%, eggs, grilled chicken, berries. And not a single dessert or any sweets, where normally I would have indulged, 'cause hey, vacation! I looked, but did not touch! 😁 (I also know how awful I would physically feel if I did. No thank you!)
