I've been heavy my whole life. I had one successful diet in college and lost over 80 pounds, but I have gained that all back and then some. I have tried lifestyle changes and diets since then, but none of them stuck for long.
My biggest problem is that I get burnt out trying to be better and better every day. If I eat 50 calories under my target today, I feel like tomorrow I have to eat 75 less calories. If I exercise for 15 minutes on the treadmill, I feel like I have to do 16 the next day. If I do 30 squats, tomorrow I need to do 35.
Obviously, none of this is sustainable. However, I lose motivation so fast that if I don't do as well as I did yesterday food-wise and exercise-wise, I am very prone to giving up. A cheat meal has been known to completely derail my diet. I suppose I am just so neurotic that anything less than progress means failure. How can I change this mindset?
