I've tried losing weight for the longest period of time,I lost 7kg and gained back from over eating all the junk foods. Im afraid that this time it'll be the same . I need someone to push me literally

How about stop being pushed around, educate yourself on how weightloss works, then just do what it takes (believe me, it's not much, but it's important) and trust the process?8

I think you just need a reasonable strategy that you can stick to long term. Set your goal to the slowest weight loss, plan your food in advance, don't cut the "junk food" out completely, find an exercise you enjoy.0

Seeing the results getting slow down frustrates me and I go " What's the point of dieting if I don't see results" I've tried and I today I started a new diet again.0 -

You want to do something, you try it, you fail. Why not do something different this time? Stop trying to lose so fast and you won't give up. You think of this as a short term thing to get you to a goal, but the work doesn't stop when you reach your goal. This is forever. If you keep viewing this as having an end you'll regain the weight every time. Make sustainable changes that you will keep up with after the weight is gone.9 -

you don't go out an run a marathon with no training do you? think of weight loss the same way - it may be slow, some days will be really good and other days will be crappy - but its a journey1

If I slack a day or 2 there goes my motivation to start again. I'm just so afraid of slacking again0 -
you have to make it a priority - if you do, then you won't slack...the last thing I want to do is log all my food into MFP each day - but I know I need to do it to be honest with myself and make sure that I am fueling adequately - so I do it0

You should try for a lifestyle change instead of a diet, a diet will make you go back and forth, a lifestyle change you work at until you get it right,it's something you can be proud of and shows results, and there is no failing a lifestyle change because it's not something you quit.
Just remember eat less calories than you burn even if it's 10 calories sometimes it will still ensure that you are going down and not up, unfortunately for long term weightloss it won't be superfast but it can be for the rest of your life.1 -

@umamageswary52 The definition of Insanity is doing the same thing over and over again, and expecting different results.
Long term results aren't fast nor easy. You have to be patient and consistent, then the results will come. It's not easy, it's worth it!1 -

Read that post back over and you'll probably see how silly it sounds. No weight loss is better than slow weight loss? It really is not. ANY weight loss is better than no weight loss when you need to lose weight.2 -

But you've admitted you can't.
Why does everything leads to therapy ? I mean do I sound like I have mental illness? Idk it's just very odd0 -

Will baby steps actually work? I mean by reducing food intakes will it actually work and I won't gain weight ? Is exercise compulsory?0 -

I would say no you do not sound like you need therapy. It sounds like you need to just look at it a bit more logically. Being overly strict and shooting for quick weight loss has not worked in the past, so logic would suggest it won't work this time either. Eat in a manner that you can see yourself eating for a long time. Eat foods you like.0 -

Success or death.....does that sound like a healthy way of thinking. You also admit to having disordered thinking about dieting and food so maybe you would benefit from talking to someone.
At this point talking is not going to help. For sure. Its time to put it some work . Gonna try my level best0 -

as long as you burn more calories than you eat you will either maintain (you ate and burned the same amount) or lose (you burned more than you ate) but you will NOT gain anything. It might be slow but it will be in the right direction just work on being consistent. Just remember the more you burn and the less you eat the bigger the deficit and the faster you lose, just do not eat below 1200 calories and if you exercise you get to eat those calories back. So you get a bit more food as a reward with no consequence.

Yeah, most people do. It's okay to eat junk food while losing weight. In fact, you could eat nothing but junk food and lose weight if you wanted. But most people don't do that because it's not healthy and you can eat a lot more food volume if you eat lower calorie foods along with the junk.1 -

Do not eat below or above 1200? I'm 19 and I weigh 110kg which is alot but my calorie counter shows that I can eat 1500 per day Idk if that's accurate0 -

you can you just need to keep within your calorie goal, and maybe just do a serving and not overdo it. Put it this way, you can take your time and start learning and having a better relationship with food now. or you can spend the rest of your life pushing a boulder up a hill only to have it roll back down again. Didn't work out so good for Sisyphus.

Don't eat below 1200 your body needs a certain amount of calories to function properly, I am 5'4 and 160lbs I eat at least 1400 calories a day and at most 1900 a day (if I am feeling really really out of control so only once in a while is the idea there) But no matter what just living and breathing I burn 1900 calories a day so I know I will never be eating more than I burn. So sometimes my weightloss will be slower and sometimes faster but it will always be weightloss.0 -

So at the end calories is the only matter ?0 -
yes - if you burn more calories (CO) than you eat (CI) then you will lose weight0
