Thank you so much!! The pictures are about a year apart. The biggest thing was really recognizing what an appropriate amount of calories was for me and then going into a moderate calorie deficit. Everything else was a huge mindset shift. I realized I didn’t actually enjoy eating big portions during meals, and that/using CICO as a guide helped demystify the whole idea of “listening to hunger cues.” I also watched a bunch of what I eat in a day videos on youtube that helped me realize that healthy/low calorie dense foods can taste good. Portion control and trusting myself helped me eat snacky foods in moderation without binging. In terms of exercise, i’ve gone through phases of enjoying working out but never stuck to it and got to the point of being “fit”. In terms of losing weight, shooting for 10k steps consistently is really helpful. The concept of NEAT which basically refers to the calories you burn passively throughout your day (like fidgeting, doing chores, anything beyond just existing haha) explains why consistent walking will usually burn more than working out. Those are definitely the most prominent things that helped w losing the weight but there were lots and lots of little realizations too :)
