You know what makes me mad? When I see so many people that are starving them selves just to lose weight! Let me be the one to tell you that that does not work. If you put your body into starvation mode, it lowers your metabolism and makes losing weight a lot more difficult. It's funny cause I see these people doing that and not even losing a pound and here I am, down almost 10 pounds in like a month! If you're like me and hate exercise and love eating, it's really difficult to lose weight. I used to have a really big stomach capacity so I would be hungry ALL THE TIME!
So I tried to just exercise and eat whatever I wanted. It really didn't work out for me. So I tried going on a 1200 calorie diet. It was hard at first but I just kept drinking water to make myself feel full. After a while my stomach capacity shrunk and it was easier for me to eat less. What I would do was eat every 3 hours. So breakfast at 9am, lunch at 12pm, snack at 3pm, dinner at 6pm, and tea at 9pm. That was over the summer but now that school has started and I have to wake up earlier, the schedule went a little off but I'm working that out right now. In every meal I try not to exceed 300 calories and every snack I try not to exceed 100 calories. Now if you go over 1200 calories, that's totally fine! I went 700 calories over 1200 on my first try! But you eventually get it, trust me! And it's okay if every once in a while you have a high calorie meal or snack, you don't wanna make this a bad experience.
Now even though I am losing weight without having to do exercise, it doesn't mean that's necessarily a good thing. When I get skinny I don't wanna be like those people that are skinny but have squishy stomachs, I want a toned stomach and nice legs, so I am going to start doing exercise beside school P.E. I'm also going to join the Volleyball team next year.
