[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Hi OP, I have lost approx 50 lbs so far this year and am still working on it.  Give yourself grace and time and be realistic with yourself re what you can realistically do. Dont just cut out all carbs tomorrow and think that you will succeed in the long term. You wont. Small changes over time is what works.

Stop drinking, for starters. Alcohol has empty calories, yes, but that wasnt what was getting in the way of my health. It is that I would drink, eat more than usual while drinking, then be sluggish the next day and not want to get up and be active. So then its tempting to order takeover and put everyone on screens and it just isnt healthy.

Speaking of exercise, give yourself grace. I used to be able to do Orange Theory type classes, but that then, this is now. Find an exercise you like and will regularly do. It could be Zumba, yoga, walking, swimming, whatever, just go. Even if its a schlep to get there, your spouse is going to have to understand. Then, once you get there, dont beat yourself up if you arent kicking ass like you were in college. You will get back there eventually. Once you start to lose weight and can do more, you will.

As far as food, again try to give yourself grace. You cant sustainably go from takeout every night to homecooked organic vegan meals overnight. It takes baby steps re removing unhealthy components of your diet and adding healthy.[/quote]

Wow, that is a lot of grace being given. At some point one has to knuckle down to the hard task of sacrificing some things you like to get the result you want. [/quote]
