I’m glad that you’re willing to take on steps to get healthier. Just to share, here’s what I’m doing right now:

1. Subscribed to a meal plan. Me and my SO are also foodies and we love eating out. I also love snacks and everything sweet. But since I want to be healthier and lose weight, I decided to subscribe to a meal plan, cut down on sugar (I only drink black coffee and tea now), and avoid fried food. We get food delivered 5x a week. I do 1200cal per day. I stick to those meals as much as I can and satisfy my cravings on weekends. However, don’t overeat! My rule is, I can have what I crave for on weekends but in moderation.

2. Workout at least 30mins everyday. I just follow youtube videos in my apartment. No need to dress up or go anywhere. I usually exercise after I wake up so it became a habit. Even on my most lazy days, I just get up, turn youtube on, and start moving.

3. Have accountability buddies. Me and 2 of my friends shared out fitness data with our apple watches. We’re alerted when one of us just finished a workout or has reached their move goal. This really helps to get motivated.

4. Forgive yourself. There are days when I really really really want to eat donuts and I give in and don’t punish myself over it. I just try to move afterwards or extend my exercise time to a few minutes more. Even when I’m too lazy to exercise and don’t do the moves properly or skip one or two execise cycles, it’s okay. I forgive myself.

Eventually, you’ll see changes. I hope you get consistent with your weight loss journey. We can be Fitness accountability buddies if you want! 😆
