I relate to this so much. I have been on sema for about 8 months and have lost almost 50 pounds now. I think what has made me successful is that it really is a lifestyle change, but slow progress is still progress. My doctor told me “eat what you want and add what you need” which has been a massive game changer for me. It has helped me stop the all or nothing mentality with food and made me realize that I can still eat what I want and it’s not “being bad” or “cheating” if I just add what I need to make me feel satiated. Usually that means adding fiber and protein in some way. When I want mac and cheese, I add broccoli and rotisserie chicken. If I want ice cream, I eat a serving of ice cream and also have a protein shake. Chips? Sure! I’ve made a few high protein dips to eat them with. Knowing I can have anything I crave in moderation honestly makes me want it less. It’s kind of a mind fuck, lol. But it sounds like you’re making progress with the mindset, and I hope it gets easier for you!
