I'm feeling discouraged

I don't know why it's so hard for me to lose weight. I watch my calories and walk for 20 minutes every day.

This is an example of what I've been eating every day for the past year.

Brunch

Smoothie

1/2 cup fat-free milk
5.3 oz sugar-free yogurt: 90 calories
Handful of spinach
Handful of blueberries
Handful of almonds

Dinner

A protein (usually meat)
Vegetable side
Potato, rice, or pasta side

Evening snack

20 pistachios
Stick of cheese

Like they say, "don't starve yourself."
Most diets like these only work if those are the actual foods you like.
My recommendation is to add breakfast to this diet, limit yourself to a couple or three scrambled eggs, and add veggies for flavor.
I know you want to cut back on intake, but you can't. If you skip breakfast, your body starts storing fat from everything you eat, including healthy smoothies.
Also, don't forget to treat yourself, your body will thank you.

@calicuz Thank you. Yes, I'm starting to realize that I need to change things up.
