    You know what, I totally get it, your mind is yet to catch up with your body and weight loss. You are obviously looking very different if the courts asked you to get a new driving license.

    Take your time and trust the process, how about looking at some pictures of yourself from before and after and noting the changes mentally. You can keep this pics totally private.
    The best of luck x

    I agree with the above. I know I have to start one thing at a time or I get overwhelmed. I start by drinking Water. If I’m drinking all my water I’m taking care of myself. Once that’s an accomplished habit, I include another and keep going.

    Personally I would track calories very carefully for a while to see how much I’m actually consuming and make changes from there.

    Then I would clean my kitchen and pantry. Put not so great choices further away and easy substitutes in plain view (reg calorie Snacks vs 100 cal pre portioned snack bags, reg salad dress vs lite version, reg bread vs low carb bread)
    Next I would really consider giving up liquids with calories the majority of the time, except a slash of cream for coffee/tea or the occasional Protein Shake.
    Last I would begin to make simplified versions of my favorite meals with less calories but more flavor.
    (These are all things I’ve done for myself or to help friends)
    Good luck, you’ll do well!

    Welcome back @rking. Go back to the basics. 60g Protein, 64oz fluids. Watch portion size. Reduce your carbs, sugar & fat intake. Measure, weigh, track.
    You can start of slowly & make one change (swap a food to a more nutritious or lower calorie choice , drop a food choice, increase a food type like protein or vegetables, etc.) each week & see how you go.
    You can always get back in contact with your dietician & get them to review your current diet & make suggestions too.
    All the best.
