Starting this for accountability, since threads can't be deleted, if I stop this halfway my failure will be on the internet for all to see forever.

So a bit of background, I have been struggling with my weight my entire life. Struggling is probably not the best choice of word because I didn't really care about my weight or anything else for a long time. I would get hurt when people made mean comments but then go back to "who cares food is more delicious":P

My relationship with food is toxic. I don't know how to eat in moderation, I either eat whatever I want or starve myself, there's no healthy in between.

So I am going to challenge myself to try and eat like a normal human being and try and find a diet that works for me. Since it's not supposed to be just a temporary diet it has to be something that I can live with and stick to .

1) Calorie Counting

2) Low carb

3) Intermittent Fasting


I am going to try each for a month and see which one works best for me.

I'll check in every day and update my weekly progress on the main post, too malu to post my weight right now, but I will weigh myself weekly and update how much I have lost.


21/05/18- 20/06/18 - Calorie counting

Thank you for this, but the reason I am doing this is not only to lose weight it's to find a sustainable way of eating.

I don't think I can eat the same thing every day forever

I have dieted and lost weight in the past, but then I will go back to eating whatever I want and gain it all back

I got no discipline

Thank you

Starting to realize the importance of meal prep in advance, I bought ingredients to cook for the week, but kept waking up too late to cook. Only managed to wake up early enough to cook yesterday.

I am calorie counting now, but actually it kinda looks like IF right? because I skip bfast or usually only have coffee.. it's not on purpose though, I am just not hungry in the mornings, but I don't have a stop time for eating and usually have my dinner very late at night.

When I do start IF I am think of trying out OMAD, skip bfast and lunch... Just because I think it's a good idea, I am usually only hungry in the evenings.
