by

10_post-imageIn the Half Size Me community, we’ve discussed the fact that it’s easier said than done to focus on making healthy choices at each individual meal.

Topics covered:
discouraged,
creating a calorie deficit,
nighttime binge eating,
perfectionism,
creating routines,
rest days,
self sabotage,
lack of discipline,
weekends

Topics: 

-Only lost 2.2 for the month a little discouraged.

-When you have active days and sedentary days- creating a calorie deficit that meets your weight loss goals consistently thru the week and avoiding GIANT deficits on workout days or maintenance days on non active days

-Decreasing/stopping nighttime & middle of the night eating/binging. This is the time of day (night) I still struggle, because I’m tired & less present.

-How a Fitbit can be a good tool without making perfectionists feel like they failed when they don’t reach their goal every day.

-How to count calories or points without being obsessive and/or feeling like I’m on a diet.

-How a morning routine can set us up for success.

-“How to count calories without feeling I’m on a diet.” Strictly speaking, it IS a diet, isn’t it? Please address!

-How do you have a rest day and stay motivated to pick back up the next day. Sometimes I allow a rest day which stretches into a rest week.

-Self sabotage and lack of discipline.

-I do pretty well during the week because it’s so structured, but I struggle on the weekends. I get into the “I deserve a break” mentality and then overdo it.
