Can someone give me health/weight advice?

Hi

I have struggled with my weight my entire life. Even when i was slim, a size 10UK i still weighed 10 stone. So i thought i was fat and of course got bullied. Since then i have put on a lot of weight and feel much worse about it. I went through periods of really starving myself when i was younger because i was so depressed about my weight.

Recently i have started using a calorie counter app on my phone. It tells u what calories and fat u eat per day etc. I have been trying to cut down more on the fat as calories are easier to burn off. I know a lot about whats healthy and whats not but i know that when it comes to somethings i will convince myself something is ok when its not.

Realistically is between 900-1100 calories a day enough? It doesnt sound like a lot but on a typical day i will eat:

Breakfast-2 slices of gluten free toast

Dinner-half a boxof grapes, a cuppa soup and 4 gluten free crackers

Tea- a small handful of plain quorn pieces, a handful of cooked mushrooms and a portion of stir fried vegetables cookedin water.

Snacks-the other half of the grapes, another cuppa soup and 4more crackers and a box of cherry tomatoes.

I do feel hungry but i figured this was because im used to much biger portions. I tend to eat okay foods, just toomuch of it in one day! Has anyone else got experiences they can share and any tips.

    Honestly, you really shouldn't go anywhere below 1200 calories a day. Depending on what you do throughout the day, that number should rise, else you may start losing muscle instead of fat. Obviously, that's the wrong weight to be losing.

    As for reaching foods that you consider to be wrong, don't do that - it's just sabotaging yourself. Try to find a healthier, but similar alternative to what you are reaching for, and if you can't do that, do let yourself indulge in a small portion. Moderation is key.

    Good luck on your journey!
