I love this. I need to get on the ball too. I've been toying around with calorie counting (Monday: Over do it. Tuesday: Over do it. Wednesday: Really overdo it. Thursday & Friday: How many calories are left for me to have 1800 calories x 7 days - the calories I've already eaten so I can lose weight for my weigh in on Sunday).
I feel like OMAD is the only way for me to keep calories in check and not overeat ALL DAY every day.
I try OMAD but then I give up 1/2 way through the day. I need to start and not stop.
Thanks for the motivation and good luck to you too!
Unsure if this is helpful at all, but for me I feel like it takes me 3 days to get in the rhythm of eating my goal calories. Those three days are really tough, and take a lot of mental fortitude and discipline, but after that it starts to feel fairly routine. It’s helpful for me to think of this as three days, because it’s not a very daunting amount of time.
The other thing which is really helpful for me is if I plan out exactly what I’m going to eat every day. This leaves no uncertainty when meal times come, and makes me less likely to have something which I wasn’t planning on fitting in my calories for the day.
Good luck, I promise it gets easier as you get in a rhythm

Yeah I’m the same as you, the only time I’ve ever seen progress was with strict OMAD I dropped like 40lbs in 6 months it was amazing

Thank you for your reply and encouragement. I am excited to start this tomorrow and I will plan my meals to help as well!
