I just think of the consequences of I do indulge in these "urges".

I carb load during weekends so that helps too

I do think of the consequences. Unfortunately it can never triumph over my urges. I just feel like eating something yummy all the time. Self discipline so lacking.

I don't think about weight problems actually. For me it's others things like insulin sensitivity which leads to diabetes, heart disease, diminished gut performance leading to poor digestive health and nutrition absorption, potential development of cancer, etc. These factors are enough to deter me from touching most unhealthy food.

My fav quote,

suffer the pain of discipline, or suffer the pain of regret,

keep me motivated to lose weight all dayyy

Somehow this phrase is stuck in my head. Hit a chord for me I guess

You're already hurting. Get a reward from it!

I think nothing can save me now. Even I think of that kind of consequence, it still cannot deter me from eating. Trying my very best to control. Used to eat quite heavy for 3 meals. Now cut down quite alot-but still insufficient. Still feel hungry, itchy mouth, urge to be glutton all the time.

I hope I can control myself really soon before I balloon up out of control. Put on tons of weight since January 2013. Not too sure if I'm finding excuse for myself or what, I used to workout at the gym 2-3 times a week since it's just 2 level above my office. But now, after I've moved on to a new company, I've just lost the "energy" to do that. The nearest gym to my office is at Tropicana Mall. The idea of going to the gym after working and reaching home at 9pm just really turn me off. Thought of jogging around my neighborhood; but I kinda freak out a little due to the unsafe environment these days. >.< .

Your body is capable of getting thin and healthy if you know the way. It does not take much effort, just be patient and persisitent. Once you get the drift, you will want to do more.

i just started diet, today is my 4th day, but in these 4 days i took less than 800 calories per day....
according to IIFYM

My BMR is:
1631 CALORIES/DAY

My TDEE is:
1958 CALORIES/DAY

i selected Reckless 25% for Fat Loss % option
so is 1469 CALORIES/DAY

i'm going to change my diet plan....

thanks all sifu here

BMR x a multiplier = TDEE. According to your calculation, your multiplier is 1.2 which is at 'no exercises'. If you are exercising 3-5 times a week, you should upped your multiplier to 1.55 which would make your TDEE higher. From that, reduce 20% calorie intake for proper fat loss.

p/s: your calorie intake shouldn't be below your BMR.

Hmm, it doesn't mean you can't eat though. Just make the right choices. E.g. roasted chicken breast over ice cream, green salad over a milkshake, tofu over ais kacang. The ability to just stick with the choice ensures success. Just like how you deal with work stress - either swim or sink - those that are resilient eventually rise to the top - those that are weak just remain where they are.

I know I can eat. Unfortunately it's so hard for me to resist those unhealthy yummy food. but I'm trying really hard now to replace it with good ones e.g. salad. If only I can just switch off the urge. Is there medication or something to suppress the appetite huh?

Got. Discipline. Pharmacy got but need to ask the pharmacist.

Hmm, it's a mental game. Notwithstanding that, you're probably addicted to sugar (yes there is such a thing). It's just like cigarettes, you'll probably feel bad trying to remove it. How I dealt with it: changed my taste buds to love healthy foods such as greens, salads, roasted chicken, sour yogurt, etc.

How it works:
1. Once you start eating these first (just take the first mental leap!), you won't have much space or appetite for extras anyway.
2. Knowing that sugar is bad stuff, it'll slowly set in mentally to try to avoid it. In the medium term, once your taste buds have become accustomed to blander, more natural taste of foodstuff, any sweet things that touches your tongue will be quite pronounced (you'll feel a slight dislike).

I wished I had your appetite though! Having good appetite is a very good thing. Use it to your advantage!

good morning to all the sifus here..i got a question...im trying to lose some weights (fat of course)..i've eat less and do some exercise(cardio and some weights)...so the question is,how far should i push myself?i mean i've read in some article too much exercise can be bad..so at what point should i stop and give myself a rest day or two?

Learn to love exercise due to how good it makes you feel.

For a beginner, probably three times a week is good.
Monday: intense
Wedn: medium intensity
Fri: medium-slightly relaxed intensity.

Sat and Sun relax, get a massage, read a book, take a stroll in the park - go barefoot and touch some trees at some point. Get recharged for Monday.

Don't eat less. Just eat right.

yup..loving it..
getting up in the morning for a jog is kinda hard(im lazy lol) but when i finished my usual course it felt really good...but today the area around my shin feel quite sore when im running so that kinda raise an alarm..

I'll leave it to the other members to give you a suggestion on rest or training.

Personally, if I feel pain, I will not even touch that part. Will allow it to rest and heal completely, maybe add in some gentle stretching and massage to aid its healing and recovery.

Control your diet and do more exercise!!! That's the truth to lose weight. Of course it will be easier if guidance is provided, so we can get all the information about "hows" and "whats" in one place that will be nice, right? LOL

hehe..exact opposite of me...if i feel pain in the area,i would keep touching it..the sudden jolt of pain feels kinda good..makes me wonder if im turning into a masochist lol...

Then you have a problem. Lack of self control.

You'll see much safer and better progress with self control.
