I don't like the way I feel in my body and I want to get more fit for my health. But I was never taught how to build a decent diet, or cook, or take care of my body.
I'm a picky eater. I struggle with calorie counting, it quickly turns into obsessive disordered eating. I also have depression and motivation+consistency+self control can be difficult.
I understand these are excuses and I'm trying to overcome them.
In the last 6 months, I switched from eating fast food every single day, including near daily coffees and sodas, to mostly eating at home and only drinking water. I've had more fruit and salad in the last 6 months than probably the previous 3 years combined. For the last 6 weeks I've changed from being completely sentient to going to hot yoga at least once a week, going on 1hr+ walks at least 2x week, working at a standing desk instead of sitting, and doing little things here or there just to get my body moving.
My weight/body/energy levels have not changed at all. I don't expect an overnight transformation but I thought I was making better choices and would see a sliver of reward for that.
I have no idea what I'm doing and I don't know how to set myself up for success. I looked into a nutritionist or dietician but my insurance will not cover it unless I'm clinically obese, which I'm technically 2 points below. My physician just says to "work on getting more active and eating healthy".
