Starting, and staying motivated as a newbie

Looking for advice and some of your own stories! I have a basic PCOS belly and I’ve been okay with it but it came with all these other health issues like high heart rate, chest problems and I can barely get around without getting out of breath. I started very small buying or drinking less soda per day then eventually stopping, then picking somewhat healthy fast foods instead of fried fast food, not buying snacks etc… now I ONLY drink water with (sometimes with electrolytes), 1 meal w/ 1 healthy snack with food at home while only baking or air frying.

I’ve went from 217lbs to 209lbs. I started only started just not eating bad and eating less with only water about a week ago after starting easing my way to doing so. I’m not sure if that’s healthy and I still have the hunger to eat every hour or so it’s hard to stay consistent. I try to only eat 1 meal with 1 protein packed snack per day and stay above 20 grams of protein because I have a protein deficiency. Stories help me stay motivated, thank you for reading and any questions for me are appreciated!

My problem areas: I tend to eat a lot of snacks instead of meals, when I’m bored I just eat lol, I procrastinated on exercising,
