Weigh can be influenced by water, and undigested food, if you've been sick you may be retaining water

There's resouces on the interweb on how to deal with sugar cravings after quitting alcohol, I found one under hipsober, but do a search and there will be others.

You can make intuitive eating a goal, but use calorie counting a tool to get there, use the data you gain to learn what you can eat and what a portion size is etc. Just remember it can take time and a few months isn't long enough. The other thing is if you get diabetes, in order to.keep your blood sugar under control you…

Rest days are important, going gung ho is one of the very common causes of injuries which will slow you down way more than a rest day

It's not a failure, you've learnt something

Good luck, I don't know if this will help, but I found that when I reduced my sugar consumption as much as possible (gradually), my energy increased and my appetite dropped which helped considerably with the weight loss, it may be worth experimenting for you

Try meditation, mostly to reduce stress and stop worrying about your appearance. force feeding could make you feel miserable, and if your suit is tailored to suit you it shouldn't make you feel like a beanpole. Plus look into strength training if you want to fill out, you start slowly and build up so shouldn't injure…

You need to build habits, work out how to make sustainable adjustments to your routine that reduce calories or increase activity. I've found when working on an exercise routine, neutral attitude and extreme convenience beats enjoyment and high inconvenience, so the one exercise I do daily is my stationary bike at home.…

Ambition as a theme

I like oats, in the morning I weigh oats into a plastic snap lid bowl, pour boiling water over them, then add frozen berries and greek yogurt, when I'm ready to eat, I stir it all together

I'm not aiming for a sixpack, although if I could get defined muscles on my arms that would be awesome

Peppermint tea, you can drink it hot or chilled

What facilities do tou have at work, fridge, microwave, toaster etc, only include things you're willing to use

10.98 km yesterday, made 3 days after weathertop, next stop trollshore, 95 km to go, and for those asking after garmin, I also have one, user name pamfgil

Yes four week plateaus can happen, I can retain water for weeks, then suddenly drop three to five kilos in a couple of weeks, but I'm in perimenopause and my cycle is weird, if this doesn't apply to you, check your logging.

From the point of weight loss, distinguishing between activity and exercise is academic even if adaptation takes place, if the activity is dropped you will lose fitness fast enough and if you don't adjust calories weight gain will occur.

Had another session with the hypnotist today, part of my package deal. I want to start getting most of my household chores done during the week, so the weekend is free for fun without feeling like, I need to get this or that done, so the plan is to confine social media to times when I don't have other options, like on the…

If you want to dance don't.let anxiety stop you, you can get therapy for social anxiety if it's stopping you from doing something you want to

You won't be able to convince them, you're their daughter and therefore have no authority. Your best chance is probably distraction, deflecting and stone walling with "I don't want to talk about it", good luck

Went out for lunch today, ordered a burger which came with home fries, ate some but able to leave a fair percentage on the plate without feeling deprived

I think that it's because losing weight is the default, so only the non default options are spelled out. Be kind to yourself, to increase your chances of success, at least as much as you would be for someone else in your position

Double bed now collected by St Vincent's so further progress on my decluttering. I've been working on Saturday so will have to take advantage of Sunday dropoff times to clear some of my planned donations. The recycling shops are only accepting donations at set times these days. I have realized I will need to limit bread in…

Plus someone has this quote that we fail because we give up what we want most for what we want at the moment. Losing weight is all about delayed gratification

There's an iron fish you can buy, you boilit with a little vinegar or lemon juice, then use the water ro cook your rice or veggies, theraby doing your own fortification. If you are low after checking, just bear in mind that you don't want to be going for iron to close to calcium

If you're in a healthy weight range you could start on recomposition now. If your gym anxiety is small, start by going in to visit one and talk about cost, and assistance in a strength program. If that doesn't work for you. YouTube is your friend, start with body weight exercise you can do at home, and check the…

You can get therapy for social phobias, if your fear is getting in your way. Just google phobia therapy to see what is available. Generally only takes a short course.

Actually a bad food choice is something you don't like, is not healthy and you have no idea why you're eating it, but you do anyway

Over exercise can lead to inflammation which means retaining water, the same as too much salt can cause water retention

Water can do weird things, I've gone three weeks with no loss on scales, then down 2 kg in three days, yes weigh your food, check what you should be eating to lose no.more than 2 pds a week, then trust the process, weight loss is not linear

As with everything thing else, if you're new to exercise, start slowly and build up gradually, newbie gains are awesome, but newbie injuries suck
