So I've lost 50lb whilst healing from a food addiction, I've fully recovered but I still am struggling with portion control and I still need to lose a minimum of 15lb. I haven't been counting calories but today I decided to check, to see why even thought I have shifted to a fully whole foods diet, I'm still adding weight. Today I ate a brunch made up of porridge (organic oats, 100% peanut butter, dates, pumpkin seeds, milk,) then I had 1 medium avocado with strawberries, and a tall glass of Kefir all in a single meal. I'm shocked because in total this was 1656 calories in a single meal and I feel frustrated because to actually be in a deficit I have to be eating a max of 1500 a day since I am very sedentary. I've always known that my portions are rather large but I was really ignorant and didn't understand that, porridge, fruit and kefir would push me over my calorie limit for the day even though they are healthy foods.
I'm thinking that maybe I should just start exercising loads so that I can allow myself to enjoy eating large portions of food. But I have a sense of learned helplessness around working out, it just seems like something I will never be able to do y'know, like I just will never have the discipline of others. I'm going to try and do a little bit of exercise every day but I've just convinced myself that I am not the 'type of person' to be able to keep promises with myself. I just feel frustrated because I don't know how to get myself to do the stuff I know will work :(.
