My rules to losing weight:
1 Setting a goal, date i want to reach it and what i'll do to reach it.
- i want to be 49kg, by december 15th, 700cals max on weekdays and 1250 on weekends.
always remember that it's a limit, not a goal, and you should strive to stay as far under it as you can. if you wanna know how many cals you should be eating to reach a certain goal by a certain time you can use these sites: pigly, sailrabbit and calculator.net
2 Set an exercise goal/schedule that you follow every week + seize any opportunity to move your body.
-i always get 6k steps minimum on monday to thursday and 10k minimum on friday to sunday. i'm also working on incorporating at home workout until i can go to the gym.
Somebody needs bread from the grocery store? do them, and yourself, a favor and go get it. not only are you being helpful, you're exercising by walking there :).
This is optional, but it makes things go a lot faster
3 Set a reward system for yourself each time you hit a goal weight (if you have to lose a lot of weight space the rewards out, if not, have them close together.)
-When i drop another kg i'll spoil myself with some lingerie and hair products.
Don't reward yourself with food, ever. Not because it's a bad thing, food is fuel, but it's nothing besides that, not a reward nor a punishment. just because you went over your limit does not mean you have to keep eating as a punishment, or because "the day is already ruined". Truth is, if you punish yourself today, it'll leak into tomorrow's scale, don't mull over it too much, you can always exercise it out, make up for it later.
Log your meals somewhere, and if you'd like why you ate and how you felt before, during and after. it might seem useless, but it's important to recognize patterns in your eating; being aware helps you be in control.
-Chances are if you binged, you won't want to journal, but it's one of the most important times to!! Next time you want to binge, you can look back at your notes, recognize the pattern and hopefully stop yourself.
-I always have wieiad's here, even on bad days, it helps keep myself accountable :).
Don't starve yourself as a punishment, or rather, don't look at it as a punishment.
-"You ate too much yesterday so today you get no food!", pookie noooo, not only are you looking at it from a pov that isn't optimal, that'll only lead to you wishing you could eat and thus... <<binge>>.
if you feel like you might pass out, ponder what level it's at:
-light level you might feel dizzy or nauseous, stomach rumbling etc, at that point you can have a little water, lie or sit down for a bit.
-medium level your vision may go a bit dark, you feel wobbly and disoriented, right now you need to get some vitamins in you, swallow a pinch of salt (don't worry, it's 0 calories so your fast won't be broken either) and see how you feel afterwards
-extreme level your vision will go fully black, you might fall or crash, etc, at this point you Must eat. You can't ⭐ ve if youre not alive, can you? Please eat something if you feel like this.
+never forget to drink water, there's no calories and it keeps you full, use and abuse it :). you can survive weeks without food, but water? nuh uh.
if you find yourself thinking and daydreaming about food, try to keep your mind occupied. i'll make a list of activities you can do to distract yourself soon, but here goes some:
€d related - watch korean diet vlogs, watch supersize vs superskinny, mukbangs if it helps you... exercise, go for a walk, make that list we spoke about earlier, make an €d inspired playlist or board on pinterest.
to keep €d out of your head - paint your nails, have an everything shower, draw, dance, go out with your friends, solve a puzzle, play games.
