You can skip to the "MY question" part if you don’t want the back story.
Ok... so I was a marathon runner. I ate what I want, lifted when I felt like it, and had a great body. I stopped all of this when I was 22.(27 now) I hurt my shoulder about 5 years ago, and I stopped running, and lifting. I Ballooned up about 30-40 pounds. That happened in about 4 months.... I gained that weight almost instantly it seemed.
So... about a year ago I started lifting, and attempting to run. I became painfully aware that running is a lot less fun when you are out of shape. It is much easier to think to yourself "F this, I am done!" I have been lifting for about a year, but I am not losing any weight. I haven’t been doing much cardio which I realize is not good for my goals... so as of last Wednesday I have been doing sprints, whenever my legs aren’t sore.
I have decided it is definitely my diet. I don’t have one. I hate eating. It annoys me that I have to take time out of my day to think about what I want. I eat SIMPLY to fuel my body. My philosophy over my lifetime has always been, eat until I am stuffed, so I don’t have to think about it at all. Working out daily is not a hard task for me, but I look fatter than I did a year ago.
Every diet I have ever attempted has failed because it requires too much of my thought process to plan it out.
MY QUESTION:
I need hints. I need tips. Is there an app that tells you something healthy to eat? Maybe put in goals, and it plans the week out for you? It is the choices I hate.... maybe there are little "health packs" you can buy for meals?
I also hate to cook. Unhealthy food and unhealthy amounts usually win because it takes less time.
Cognitively, I want to diet. but when I think about food I lose interest. Does my question make any sense? I want to diet. I just to plan a way to set myself up to succeed.
I am 211 lbs, 6 ft 1 in
36 Waist
