Corne30's Journal, 15 Sep 19

I've realised that I may never reach a stage in my life where I'm able to stop tracking what I eat and the activities I do throughout the day.

I work from home and sit behind my computer for most of the day. I fail to plan my meals so I end up not eating and then grabbing anything that's available when I suddenly realise at 2 pm that I haven't eaten.

My whole family could do with better eating habits.

Having an analytical brain I realised my best options for success are to plan, prepare and track what I eat in advance. Track this info on FatSecret so I have clear analytics that will show my brain that there's progress when I get discouraged.

So this is me, accepting the fact that my body, brain and hormones don't tell me when to stop eating and even if I'm hungry or not. So I will tell my body what's good for it untill I reach my goal of being a healthy weight. Being able to participate in physical activity without feeling that I might die from exertion.

Most of all, my goal is to be an example to my children that goals can be attained with hard work. Even painful ones such as changing your lifestyle for better health.

I've chosen to keep my journey public, as I need the accountability.

Good luck to all the other wonderful people here who made the choice to do something good for themselves.

welcome to our party!!! I started where you are and it's been the best decision of my life. I have also embraced tracking as part of my life... and I do it now with love. I'm a huge fan of bullet journalling and use a variety of habit trackers to monitor my progress and keep myself accountable. you're in the best place. the people on this platform are super supportive and full of great advice.

I'm also tracking my meals in advance. I log in what I'm going to eat a day before so I know what needs to be done to stay within my calories. It helps so much. we're all in this together.

so true. there's a lot of times I feel that I'm fighting a losing battle but I got through reading everyone else's stories. I now am on my second month counting calories and 6,5 kg down

I am with you on having to track what I eat to stay accountable. Glad I am not alone in the struggle👍

This is so true! Being healthy is not only about weight loss but also about treating yourself well and building healthy habits. Even if you have to track forever
