What little changes in your life and how you see things happen when you lose weight?
For me (5’1 F, 149–>136 lbs, still losing and goal weight is 122): 1. Dessert is a reward, not something you expect just for eating dinner. 2. Actually being annoyed by having a high metabolism. I don’t want to eat more than I should have to. It’s a waste of time! Nuts and high-sugar fruit are a lifesaver. 3. Eating takes up a significant part of your day because you eat more slowly. You have to figure some time into your schedule to eat, a decent amount of it. 4. You exercise most days. Days when you exercise are the norm. 5. You don’t think of giving up your favorite foods as something to miss deeply. No worse than giving up your favorite TV show, coming from someone who’s not a big TV watcher. 6. You still crave sweets when you’re stressed out, but not all the time. 7. You no longer crave restaurant food. 8. You can get drunk off of 50 calories’ worth of alcohol, or even 30 depending on the drink. You can fit an occasional few sips of a drink into your plan and it won’t make a big dent in your calories, but it will make a dent in your productivity—so best to keep it occasional anyway!*
*I’ve always had an unusually low tolerance for alcohol. I am aware that this is not the case for most people. I went from getting drunk off of half a drink to just a few sips, but even for a smaller person that’s not usually a lot.
