Found out life insurance is crazy cheaper if I’m not so fat. Also, when I get too heavy it feels like I should get an achievement award every time I stand up. I’m a physician and studies show no one trusts a fat doctor.

  • Keep your progress even when things fall apart:

    I track everything I eat to ensure I’m eating at a deficit, but occasionally the day gets away from me and I end up eating a lot of calories (easy for me). Instead of letting the extra food blow out my deficit and progress for the week, I told ChatGPT everything I ate and give me a best guess on the calories. Then I let the calories spill over to the next day. Then over the next few days I try to get my food log back to normal (where I’m logging the food I’m eating on the correct day).

    So my log says 1900 calories every day but in reality it was 1900, 3400, 900, 1400, 1900.

    Low calorie days should be lean protein and not much else. Maybe that strategy might help you guys.

I use MyFitnessPal app and I agree it’s helpful to track your calories to get back on track when you overeat or add a treat.

Thats a great Idea.

Hello everyone,
I won 2/2 games last year but now I am even more heavier.
This self discipline doesn't work for me. I guess I eat too much when I am at home. I actually eat healthy food, but apparently too much of it. Cause I am doing sports already and a lot. I am actually a very strong person, but this is just my most weakness. I have a part-time job where I work with no access to food and it's quite easy to maintain weight and also to lose some. But as soon as it's weekend or holidays it's over.
I know it's all a mindset thing and my overeating is emotional. But it's always something happening and even though I am in therapy and I have no depression or etc seems like this is forever. I am not obese, maybe 7-10 kg overweight so I seem fine, but I just can't "crack" it it's been years

My only hope for now is to raise my ferritin (iron) level, I have recently discovered it is critically low and will work with my doctor on it. Because I was in a good shape when I was taking hormon pills and not losing so much iron, maybe there is a connection, I hope. Sorry for this moment of despair, let's have a nice weekend anyway :)
