I'm 30 and obese. I decided I'm going to try and do something about it but on my own terms. Today is one month give or take a few days and I've lost between 7 and 9 kg, not sure because I didn't take my starting weight accurately. I don't exercise and I don't eat healthy. I just feel like I was able to find the space in my mind to realize that I was eating way too much volume-wise and to bring it down to a reasonable level that still makes me feel happy mentally and satisfied physically. So far I've been eating at a 1400-1500 kcal deficit daily, I've stopped snacking and I've replaced sugary soda with diet soda and some water. Yeah, I know - it's going to slow down, I'm not getting all the nutrients I need from processed food, aspartame causes cancer, whatever. I just don't have the mental capacity to be able to eat healthy or exercise but I really want to lose weight. I probably have some kind of disorder when it comes to food. Doing what I've dobe so far took a lot of effort too, but it doesn't feel like effort now, which is why I'm slightly optimistic. I'm just wondering if you think I should keep going. It feels good to see some results from something I'm actually able to get myself to do.
>>34062784Yes, keep going. Caloric deficit is literally all there is to do when it comes to losing weight. If you ever feel like adding in exercise, do something really basic like daily 30 minute walks to start. It won't feel like a lot, but the key to exercise is finding something you'll stick with, not intensity. You're doing good so far, keep at it. Your future health will be so drastically improved it's not even funny.
>>34062784>I'm just wondering if you think I should keep going. It feels goodwhat the fuck do you think?
>>34062784You obviously need to reverse course.
>>34062806I feel like eventually I'll become open-minded to the idea of exercising. I just need to feel better, even marginally, in my body first. Thank you.>>34062863>>34062992Of course. Not caring felt good too, though. I just wanted some reassurance I was doing right by myself. I appreciate it.
>>34062784/fit/ Be patient it will take a long time to go from obese to healthy like a year or more.
>>34062784>I'm not getting all the nutrients I need from processed foodIf you can't eat healthy, at least take multivitamins, fish oil, and psyllium husk for fiber
>>34062784I won't read yet another "how do I fix my life [laundry list of problems], oh and by the way I'm also a 300lb monstrosity if that matters" threads.
>>34062784You're doing it just the right way. Eating what you normally eat but less is easy to stick to, and even without exercise it can lose you about a kilo a week - and that slow loss is much less likely to yo-yo back on when you stop.than any crash diet.If you're concerned about nutrition, buy the cheapest store-brand one-a-day multivitamins and mineral pills. You probably don't need them - even a junk food diet has all the vitamins you need - but at roughly 2 cents a pill, it's a cheap reassurance.
