Losing Weight

After my posting on Facebook groups a lot of people said I should try calorie deficit. I have no idea where to start with that even though people have already explained things to me.

Background:
For years I have tried having small portions, exercising etc but because I’m autistic I am really fussy with my food.
I’ve tried slimming world, weight watchers, NHS weight management group and nothing worked. The only thing that worked for me was the Mounjaro Jab, but I can’t afford to go back on it unfortunately. We also can’t afford to buy a lot of ingredients to make healthy meals to batch cook either.

Changes/problems:
I started the gym at the beginning of the year, and it was going great because I was going with a group of girls and was going at least 3 times a week. But, then the girls started to not come to the gym anymore which caused my motivation to plummet. I try to think about my goals and push myself to try and go and sometimes it works but other times it doesn’t work out.

It doesn’t help that sometimes I lose motivation a lot and with problems happening at home for over two years, both me and my mum has lost all motivation/mood to cook/batch cook anything no matter how many times we try to push ourselves.

Lately I’ve noticed I have been gaining weight again, and I just feel defeated. My dream weight is to be 168lb (currently 236lb), but right now that feels impossible.
I know the groups that I’m in are to suppose to motivate/support each other (which I love) but seeing everyone’s pictures and achievements just feel impossible for me to achieve.

I don’t know what to do anymore…..

  • I've been working hard to keep myself in shape lately, too, so, I  have a couple tips, I guess.

    1. Keep an eye on how much calories your food has

    2. Be persistent with exercise and keep in mind results aren't instant. Eventually, you'll thank yourself for going the distance and sticking with it.
