I’ve done several of these. Actually swore by diet bet several years ago as a motivation. Since then - I have lost games some. Here’s what I know - bites count. And they count hard. But what I’ve learned the past 10 years - stress & age count too! 52 - my kids are older and when my son went navy in 2020 - so proud. Then covid made it sooo scary!!!! I have exercised every day for over 11 years. (Minimum is a 20 min walk). I journal it every day. And still every bite counts bc here I am having found some weight. Even with allll the exercise and marathons and half marathons (intervals - I don’t run run) But man- stress kills it too. Age has to be playing a part. All I know is - 52 years old - exercise daily - and making those scales drop numbers has never been harder. And I vow to figure it out. Even with the stress of a child’s deployment. The stress of my health not being what I expected. I plan to test - self care. So if you struggle - I feel you. I am you. But I firmly believe - it’s going to come down to - every bite matters. No matter how much I hate that. And I firmly believe - there is a solution to when things change & what worked before doesn’t anymore. Good luck to
All of us figuring it out!
