Doing Something Wrong?

:unsure: Have you worked your booty off and when you do a weekly check in and nothing has changed? I am really thinking it has come down to food. I just don't think I am getting enough. I see alot where 1200 is the lowest one should go I am pretty sure I don't get that much or close. Its not that I am doing it on purpose but I just don't think about it cause I am either really busy or doing something else. I need to really sit down and do my menu up of 1200 calories a day but rearrange it to where I have variety. Thats another problem is not having enough variety that I get bored and quit. Does anyone have any suggestions that work for them? I am a trainer at my job so there are times that I am up walking around teaching so I forget to grab a snack. I am not sure how to break that habit cause we do have breaks which is a good time to grab a snack but I just continue to work. I am trying really hard not to beat myself up about not losing weight and working my butt off. I am going to continue to work out I just got to really figure my eating out. I struggle with foods so its like I just get by with just enough. Yesterday tho I had a scary thing happened. I stood up to walk to my kitchen and got so dizy that I saw tunnel vision and then I was holding my phone and it felt like it was 10 pds. It quickly went away but enough to make me dazed. I am taking my vitimins like I should so I am thinking it has to come down to food. Its tough because I am an emotional eater and well I can't simply give up food we all know thats not even an option. I know I need to sit down and do the menu but when it comes time I just tend to be lazy. I am like a sad broken record...sighs...Gotta keep going and keep my head up.... :blink:

Dont think of it as you have to sit down and do it all at once! You can work on your menu 5-10 mins at a time.

Most inportantly you NEED TO EAT! Your body goes into stravation mode after about 6 weeks of not gettin enough to eat. I dont intake my full 1,200 cals a day either. I average about 800-1000 and when i work out it gives me additional calories i can intake.

Try greek yogurt excellent snack high in protein about 14-15 grams per serving. Right now im focusing more on eating and portion control then i am on " healthy " eating ill have cheese and crackers, string cheese or a protein shake. Im not saying my way is the correct way cuz i know its not! But as of right now im down about 25 pounds in 3 months. Its all about trial and error. Try fish lean meats chicken beef but it does sound like you need to start eating!!!

If you have acess to a nutrionist pls use them they can sit down with you and create a menu that fits ur needs!

Good luck and hang in there!!
