@MonBon
Trying to focus on my diet. As a kid in Mexico was highly fattening food..still is, trying to re teach myself that its not good for me. But as the same time it has helped me to look what I look like today! It was also eaiser to make and keep with me as I worked as a kid on the family ranch all day long esp the tortillas..I also lived on eating food from a bag and most of the time very cheesy and fried, tons of carbs, beans, meat. A few vegtables but mostly from the salsa. tons of deserts!!! When I moved on my own to AZ at 16 I didnt have alot of money so I survived on cheap stuff from Food City and fast food. I looked alot older than I was because of my body...idk maybe I just age faster or something. My curves were really starting to be defined and my upper body was still the same and strong from the ranch life. I also worked at a fast food place for awhile to get threw school so that go me hooked.
I seriously need to eat healthier, but I feel like my body cant live without fattening foods,etc. I am not diebetic or anything just i crave them so much. I feel like if i stop my curves will get smaller or less thick. Food is such a important cultral thing in my home country...eating the same foods keeps me connected to home and who I am. I LOVE TO EAT and it will always go to my lower body. I was very thick when i was like 18.. Today I am 5'11 195lbs and naturally hourglass, skinnyish upper body..flatis stomach. all the good curves and thicccc

I can understand that. Dieting is difficult, especially when you've been conditioned to eating a certain way. What has worked for me is incremental replacement (essentially, I swap out one food item at a time with a healthier alternative). I've found this is more sustainable for me, especially since I when I "fall off the wagon" I'm falling back to something that is still better than before
