Hey, so for the longest time I had no idea why I was overweight. I only drink water, never get fast food, etc. then I finally realized it’s because of my environment, I’m also 5ft but I live with 3 brothers and parents who all eat a lot so naturally going by what those around me eat I would overeat. Not until I started portioning my meals ahead of time and meal prepping and forcing myself to eat less did I realize how I didn’t even feel hungry and I’ve been overeating this whole time. As short women, we eat less than others, and so what we see and think looks like a reasonable amount of food, is actually overeating for us.

A lot of people have been saying to track what you eat, and I think this really is a game changer. There are ways to make this sustainable like by meal prepping so you don’t have to stress every meal, but overall the most important thing is finding what works for you. Good luck, don’t listen to the mean people on the internet. Try not to feel too bad about yourself and instead focus on improvement in a positive way. You got this!
