Re: Weight Loss Tips?

[(Anonymous)]

Eat good food. Mostly vegetables. Avoid stuff that comes in boxes, plastic, or other packages. Eat regular meals, AND snacks, at regular times of the day (try to develop/stick to a schedule, but don't get obsessive over it b/c that doesn't work either), every day. Cut out as much added salt and sugar as you can find (but if you cut out pre-processed/packaged stuff, that will happen anyway). Switch out your regular carbomated beverage for iced tea, if you really need the caffeine and sugar kick, but try to cut back, and then make your own, w/o the sugar, eventually. (Though this will take time.) Drink water first, when you're thirsty, then go for the other stuff after a few minutes, if you still need something to drink. Buy expensive, imported, healthy snacks; this will make you less likely to binge, becaus you won't be getting them as often, and will be more of a treat than a bag of Cheetos or a Snickers. Get an air popper and eat loads and loads of popcorn, with minimal butter/margarine, and no salt.

If you don't follow all these rules every day, or you skip some days, that's okay too.

^ Listen to this person. Not just because they're giving good advice but because they mention CHEAT DAYS. These are good and necessary things. Sometimes you're gonna eat three Snickers bars and a bag of popcorn and call it dinner. It happens. Sometimes you know you're going to go batshit insane if you don't have your comfort food. Acknowledge it, eat the food, and move on.

AYRT

Yep, this is it, in a nutshell. Attitude is everything.

For the record, I've never been morbidly obese, although I was unwell as I went through puberty (from what is laughably referred to as "comorbid" conditions), and I gained maybe 15 - 20 pounds more than I should have. This was after being very underweight before puberty, due again to chronic illness. But that's the most I've ever fluctuated, and I have been about the same weight (give or take maybe five to ten pounds at the most, either way) for the better part of three decades. And I have always eaten exactly as I have described above. Although, yeah, there are days when I only eat popcorn, or get busy at work and skip lunch, but, eh. Stuff happens.

We always had at least one family meal together each day, when I was growing up, which is harder to replicate now, with everyone going in every direction. Worst comes to worst, I make an effort to spend at least 15-20 minutes cooking (or preparing, in the summer, when it's too hot to cook) something, and then sitting down with the TV on.
