I have changed a ton of my eating habits but I am not a health nut. I choose low calorie alternatives...instead of a candy bar I will have a protein bar, fat free milk vs 2% ect... I still eat the same meals as I did before but instead of 4 pieces of pizza I have about 3/4 of a thin crust piece or a full plate of meat and potatoes vs 1/2 cup of it that I usually don't finish. Today at work we had ice cream bars & I had one I'm my hand a few people said to me you can't eat that! I ate about 1/2 of it and my high protein chili for lunch. I rarely eat over 1000 calories and always hit my protein and water goals. I am 2.5 months out and have lost 44 lbs+.

Really?? Thats great glad u still can indulge a bit and still have great weight loss!!!

This life is your journey, no one else's. We are losing weight so we can have a normal life. We are learning to indulge just a little, every once in a while. 1/2 an ice cream bar is probably a victory for you. In the past you probably would have eaten a lot more than that. Continue your weight loss journey knowing that you will succeed because it looks to me like you are doing a great job.

If it works for you then fine, this is your own journey no one else's, just don't compare your losses with anyone else either . The food/exercise program you follow will give weight loss that is just for you. Enjoy!

We're all guaranteed to fail because we're human. Sounds to me like you're doing fine overall.
