    was to ensure I drink my 2 litres of water a day, it makes a massive difference.
  • and another- if you dropped your phone and it cracked, you wouldn't think 'ah **** it, it's already broken' and stamp on it, so why when you eat over your limit, should you think 'ah **** it, i might as well eat more'?

    If I have the self-discipline to stick to a money budget and feel accomplished at the slow and steady accumulation in my bank balance, then I have the self-discipline to permanently change my eating habits and the patience to lose weight for the long-term.

    (This was my lightbulb moment this week on weight loss/lifestyle changes.)

    My sentence is:

    IT´S ALL ABOUT CALORIES! :smile:

    Sounds simple? Yes... But I tried so many diets none of them worked... The only thing that got slimer was my money bag....
    To know that it´s all about calories bans the danger to fall for all those weird losing weight methods :-P

    I can deal with happiness/anger/sadness/frustration in other ways besides eating.

    Weight loss isn't complicated but it is hard, you have to put in the time and effort. I learnt to be conscious of why I'm eating - is it because I'm hungry, bored, emotional?

    Actually there is a lot more than that!

    Eat well.
    Move daily.
    Hydrate often.
    Sleep more.
    LOVE YOUR BODY!
    (repeat for life)

    The main one is: Consistency is key!
