This is great, and I’m having the same thoughts. Everything I am reading makes sense, but I can’t quiet the questions of “yeah, but how is this any different that how I got to my highest weight in the first place.” After really thinking about how I got to my highest weight, I realized I was very sedentary (like, sit all day at work and then come home and sit all night) and I was stressed out from work/life.
Stress is a lot less now and I’m hoping that with enough calories to make light/fun exercise something I can actually face (low carb + long work days makes me laugh at the idea of exercise), that I have a chance at making this work.
My new goal is to eat in a way that gives me energy instead of just eating in a way that helps me lose wight. I miss having energy and hate feeling dead tired all the time.
Can’t wait to read the links above.
