when i started my journey in the spring of 2020 i would weigh myself every other day. it worked for the first six months, but when the weight really started falling off i noticed that i started fixating on every tenth of a pound on the scale because i wanted more and more data to collect and make the line graph i was keeping move down. so you already know this so advantage: you! small moves made consistently over time will be massive huge changes! and i understand your fears and the anxiety, it's real. For advice my "secret weapon" that really helped me was a food scale and started measuring everything, then logging it. And then to control the post-meal craving, i set a timer for 10 minutes, if i was still hungry after that timer completed I could get a healthy snack. 99% of the time, the timer would go off and i would forget what it was for and wasn't hungry! And last thing (i promise) i did for craving control, instead of going to the shop for a package of crisps, i'd make a cup of tea! That's it. That tricked my brain into thinking it had a thing. So to your journey! godspeed
Hey! I just randomly stumbled across this video. Wishing you the best of luck on this journey. You've got this! I think the idea of weigh-ins everyday is a good strategy to get started as long as you don't get too hung up on the numbers. Consistency is what matters and a little bit of something is better than nothing when it comes to diet and exercise. Keep it up.
