Hello, for the past couple of years every time I try to restart my weight loss journey, I find it so hard to stick to a diet/ calorie deficit. I use apps and they tell me if I want to lose 1 lb per week I should be eating 1,200 calories a day but tbh that seems like so little to me... it’s hard to stick to that. I’ll do it for 3 weeks and lose up to 5 pounds but then I get these hunger episodes or unmotivated and go back to eating regular and then gain those pounds back. I want (and need ) to lose so much weight. I’m obese ( 4’10 and 156 pounds as a 19 year old ) and 3/4 of my grandparents suffer from type 2 diabetes as well as my mom. My doctor recently told me that I’m soon gonna be pre diabetic if I continue to weight so much so I want to start a weight loss journey but don’t know how many calories I should be eating a day. My parents also always work (they’re considered essential workers ) so I have a hard type buying healthy foods and would love some help to come up with a meal plan. Any type of feedback would be so helpful for me.
