So your starving yourself?
I lost 20lbs in the last year, I just cut back on everything. Get the small soda, get a single burger instead of a double, have a 6 inch instead of a foot long... and drink more water.
You're still young
Before the latest "diet" I had done what you are, cutting back on the regular stuff. Trouble is that only maintained my weight, didn't do anything to lose weight. You hit a point where you have to either barely eat anything with fat at all, or you have to exercise, exercise, exercise, to trigger weight loss.
I hate exercise... Most boring thing in the world, so it had to be a change of diet... And it's not a "diet" meaning something that you can end at some point. It has to be a permanent change.
I've lost weight in the past, and when I was happy where I was at, I would start to eat the things I enjoyed again... Didn't work.
Since losing the weight I am now off of both my cholesterol and blood pressure medications.
What brought this on was a series of things. My doctor told me I was very close to being labeled a diabetic. My grandma, and Char's grandfather both died from complications of diabetes. Not fun... A day before my 50th birthday I was diagnosed with glaucoma. High blood pressure only makes it worse. Last but not least... I saw a photograph of myself and I hated how fat my face had become. I'm now down to a double chin instead of a triple
I'm at 185 now. I would like to lose another 20 - 25.
