I have to get back to a positive mindset. That orthopedic doctor didn't help much when he suggested weight loss surgery. Another thing, my IBS has cleared up lately. That would prevent some weight loss. I'm happy to be rid of the IBS symptoms. Perhaps I can find a balance and be IBS free and still lose weight.


I started Noom. Seems like a diet plan to me since you have to log your food and the calories are restrictive. I don't like diet plans. I prefer positive thinking and natural weight loss. So I'm not sure what I will do with my Noom subscription. I do like the coach and I think it's good to learn about nutrition. I'm trying to be positive about it. After all, they ask you to "Believe!"
How can it be a diet plan when there is no diet you have to follow? You have to log food and exercise so you can understand your eating habits and learn how to make healthy changes. But there is literally no prescribed diet or exercise regime to follow. How else do you expect to lose weight if not by understanding and changing your eating patterns?
