I've started thinking about fitness vs. exercise and nutrition vs. diet and it seems like even just that mental shift has melted pounds off. Anyone else have a similar experience?

Honestly, portion control was a big game changer for me. I still eat lots of 'unhealthy' food - or what people would consider that (e.g., gluten, dairy) but I think being able to control it rather than going crazy has helped. That and weights

I’d also consider motivation vs discipline & habits vs outcomes.

Good thinking, thanks!

Can I ask what has helped you make this switch? I know o need to do this. I work out pretty much daily and started seeing great results but I’ve definitly plateaued and know my diet isn’t the best.

A mental shift goes a long way I always say. Oh hey, I am rhyming. Anyways your next step is to exercise for at least 5 mins and continue from there

Well, exercise helps tune the engine so that it can burn more overall calories. Without the exercise the body will eat the muscle before the fat since muscle is the highest consumer of energy.

So get out there and move. Just don't eat back the calories from exercise.

For me it was training my brain to be able to put all those calorie intakes into perspective.

My morning iced coffee didn't seem so appealing when I could remember feeling like death from doing a run that barely burned off half of its calories.

I'm taking it one day at a time. It does seem overwhelming to have to think about the entire process of losing weight. I try to start with eating more healthy meals and go for a run at least once or twice a week.

I make an effort to begin with baby steps and advance after a couple weeks. I've found that taking it easy has helped me train my body slowly but surely. This is my nth attempt at fitness. I want to succeed this time.

Saw my therapist this past Friday and he gave me a useful trick to build better behavior patterns. Whenever you have work to do but would rather nap or something, tell yourself 3 negative effects of the nap and 3 positive effects of doing the work. You might still take the nap, but if you can get in the habit of thinking of it negatively, you'll take less naps when you need to be doing other things.

Doesn't matter what the activities are. Could be working out vs eating more, could be socializing IRL vs wasting time in FB (lol)

Despite these two collections have a 712-720 credit score.

So mortgage lenders care at all about the collections or is it mostly the credit score that matters?
