[QUOTE="Giulia, post: 521898, member: 14306"] JJJ, your doctor is right. Don't be too hard on yourself. Pat yourself on your shoulder with the doctor (he was proud of you, so be proud of yourself). I understand how impatient you can be. I can be the same on other stuff too. But your being overweight/obese didn't happen overnight. Weight loss cannot happen overnight either. It's a long and gradual process. Celebrate each small step you reach, and be good with yourself for each small step you reach. About food, forget about focusing on quantities/calories. The most important is conscious eating. Do you eat because you are hungry, because you fancy to eat biscuit/peanut butter.... because of boredom, because of sadness.... ? Your brain has already a very intelligent calorie counter. You won't overeat if you actually [U][B]really listen to yourself[/B][/U]. It's not a problem if you'd rather nibble multiple times of the day rather than eating three meals a day, or if you eat chocolate with banana instead of eating a big undressed salad, [U]as long as you really listen to yourself[/U] and [U]you know why you eat[/U]. I know I heavily insisted on what I underlined/put in bold, but they are the key points. You don't eat too much because you don't know how to eat healthily. Instead, you know too well how to eat healthily. You want to be such a brave girl that you completely forget what do [U]you[/U] need. Focus more on [U] eating consciously[/U], on [U]listening to what your body says[/U], instead of focusing on eating healthily (we insisted so much on it while forgetting the rest that at the end, it was just a complete failure impossible to keep on the long run. Know that you are not the first, and you won't be the last to be trapped). Then, eating healthily will come naturally, effortlessly for you. But don't reverse the steps, or you will mess up like crazy. Then, it will be the same vicious circle on low self-esteem-eating-low self-esteem-eating.... I promise you that if you focus on conscience on what to et, rather than healthy eating, you won't overeat and you will be much healthier instead. And it has results you can keep on the long run (so long lasting results). [/QUOTE]
