[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am so sick of being fat but obviously not enough to actually follow through on a diet. Every morning I am motivated only to fall off the wagon midday. Some days, I am good in the beginning of the weeknbut fail over the weekend.

What are your tips for getting your diet jumpstarted and sticking to it? I want to, no need to lose 40 pounds at least![/quote]

The only thing that worked for me was listening to a podcast about good (not a diet podcast) one episode went into French cuisine and how much they love their pork belly, butter, and cream. However it talked about portion size and eating meals slowly.

I slooooowly lost 40lbs over 1 year eating MORE of the foods I love. Taking the time to cook  nice meals and also being happy with simple meals such as bread and cheese for breakfast. My approach to food is that it is for enjoyment,  NOT fuel.  I do not eat fast food, or processed food. Nor do I eat foods that will fill my belly because it is "healthy".

Keto, Whole 30, intermittent fasting, those are all gimmicks and suck all the joy out of eating and leave you feeling deprived and unsatisfied. People always yo-yo on those fad diets. I eat dairy, wheat, potatoes, butter, fatty meats (because fat is delicious!) I also eat lots of vegetables and hearty salads. However I eat much less of that stuff.  I walk away from meals before I am full. If I go out to eat, I make a concious decision to not finish my plate. If a menu item had a calorie count on it (most menu items are 1500 cal or so) I eat a little less than half the meal. I still order the chicken over pasta in a mushroom cream sauce, but eat half and if it's good take away the other half and if the meal hasn't brought me joy, throw it.away.[/quote]
