Looking for Encouragement and Motivation to Lose Weight

Also don't be too strict. As long as u stay in the 1200-1400 calories... u will lose weight! You can do it!

Also to help with cravings, I eat as much pickles I want, cucumbers with salt , beef jerky and diet coke. And if u crave sweets, I make me a large iced coffee with sweet n low with creamer.

Motivation is why you want to lose weight? Health? Feel good? Do more things without feeling insecure? That's what motivated me. I planned what I was going to eat for the next day on a calorie counter app. And stuck to it because I put in my head that I will get to my goal sooner than later if I followed my plan.

I'm no expert!!! Last year I started focusing on why am I so large and it's emotional eating. All the way no doubt. So i started practicing self love and self care. Cooking elevated meals for myself. Focusing on myself like everyday was a new dining experience. Also asked myself before grabbing food. Is this emotional? Side effect has been 35 pound weight loss with out even focusing on it too much.
