Thank, love those suggestions @Kitty and Sparrow
I've been doing this naturally, so I already know veg makes me feel great, and McDonald's makes me feel absolutely dreadful.noticing the effects food has on your feelings (hello diet-culture guilt; this is so so prevalent)
Yeah, I'm not gonna overly focus on the scales. I do already have a dream to walk a pilgrimage, but current ill health make any exercise at all very difficult indeed. So we'll see how things go.swapped my weight loss goals from "Lose x weight" to fitness/health goals "I would like to walk to the top of x hill/mountain/walk x distance" etc. Giving myself a fitness goal is something I can actually track without focusing on a number (weight) but also has the added benefit of losing the weight by being active.
I have to do this. If I tell myself I can't have something, I'll binge for weeks. If I tell myself I can have whatever I want, I'll be happy with healthy food and healthy amounts. Reverse logic works for me on calming down the urge to binge.Restricting sugary things rather than cutting them out cold-turkey
