Comment on How exactly does one eat 1500 calories a day?

Ok so I like analogies which make me understand lol so is this like having to teach yourself to wake up early to go to work, or to train for a sport?

Pretty much, and most importantly, DONT try to change everything at once.
Like if you struggle with waking up early…
DON’T: Starting tomorrow I’m waking up at 5am every single day!
DO: I’m going to set my alarm 15 minutes earlier.

Yes! It’s not so much the work itself, but the mental effort tied to it. After a couple weeks of repetition something becomes habit, that mental effort is diminished.
