[quote=Anonymous]Attack one habit at a time. I would suggest lowering your carbs (but not going keto). Tell us what you eat in a  typical day and we can give suggestions. Like…swap your morning bagel for 3 scrambled eggs with spinach. Yes, 3 eggs to start because that bagel was filling you up and 1-2 eggs aren’t as filling. You can reduce later if you need/want.  Having a sandwich for lunch? Swap it for a salad with protein. Prep the veg and protein on the weekends when you may have more time  Having pretzels for a snack? Swap it with 20 almonds and 10 chocolate chips.

THEN tackle your Diet Coke habit. How many do you have in a day—2? -3? Reduce it by one and replace it with La croix with extra squeezed lemon or something similar. Don’t cut DC out totally until you feel you have a grasp on the reduction of each one.

Chances are with the diet and soda changes you’ll have more energy to work out. Then add that in.

Small changes, one at a time, give yourself grace.

Also…your goals should be smaller. 3l5lbs is a lot.

Start by a goal of 5 lost. Then another 5. Then another. Celebrate each attained goal (not with food).

Finally—don’t consider yourself the person who has to “clean up” your kids uneaten food. A lot of moms do that and it’s not healthy
