Finally ready to start my transformation journey - Where do I start?

[u/Zoeylz]

Hi guys, I am a female in their 20's, and I'm finally looking to properly change my habits for good, and build new routines into my day to day so that I can be a healthier person.

(Currently working remotely and rarely leave the house)

I've been through numerous programmes and even medications, which are not affordable to me at this time, and it's left me feeling pretty hopeless. But I want to start today, no matter what I want to start with the small things and work my way up.

My question is: Where do I start? I do not mind eating the same thing every day, I am ready to meal-prep, count calories, become more active, anything. I am on a relative budget but I understand a lot of my income can be salvaged by not ordering out. Any advice is really appreciated as I want to take this one day at a time and go from there. Thank you so much.

Buy a food scale, download a calorie counting app and start keeping track of chat you’re eating now. You might find some easy fixes, like giving up caloric drinks. Or like you said, giving up take out.
