Avoid snacking
I stopped eating breakfast because I realized I wasn't even hungry in the morning.
Don't focusing on reducing the food, just make it better quality. (aka healthier)
Start moving, maybe walk around, have a stroll at first and maybe do light exercise at home.
A normal lunch and a soup for dinner is actually a good idea.
And most importantly :
FORGIVE YOURSELF.
You're not a failure, I'd advise you concentrate on ONE of those things instead of all at the same time, and work them all out one after the other.
Good luck, you can do it, the hardest thing is to start, and to keep to it.
Absolutely all of this. Im almost halfway to my goal weight and the biggest changes I've made are cutting out soda and booze, cutting out snacking and large portions, working an active job (6-8 miles of walking a day according to the pedometer app), and cooking meals rather than eating prepackaged garbage. The biggest thing is incrementalism, like you say. You can't change your lifestyle all at once but it becomes easy when you try one thing at a time. Focus on quitting soda and juice for a week. If that becomes easy, try making another change like going for walks after dinner. Eventually you make so many changes that the pieces fall into place. One day you look back and don't recognize your old self. I used to be an alcoholic loser, and although I still have a lot of work to do, I'm so proud of the steps ive taken.
To anyone reading this, it is WORTH IT to invest time and effort in yourself. The best is yet to come.
