Right now I can manage to average about 2000 calories a day. Before I started weight loss mode I was eating about 3500 and slowly went down to 2000. Now I talked to my trainer at the gym that I see every other week and she said I should eventually get down to about 1600 calories a day. I tried eating 1800, but on those days I just get really hungry and then I end up binging and then my total for the day ends up being more like 2500.
Now I am exercising a few times a week and working on increasing the amount of water I drink the servings of fruits and veggies (I swear if I have 100 calories to spare in a day I head straight for sugar, veggies be damned). And I am losing weight.
I know I have to keep track of it religiously or else I will eat a lot more than I think I am eating and gain.
But how do I manage to lower my calories? I guess I got too comfortable around the 2K mark. I know I need to be eating less, but I am not sure how I can manage to make that transition and stick to it.
