I eat intuitively on-and-off, interspersed with occasional calorie counting. I'm curious, though; why have you chosen to pursue intuitive eating? Don't get me wrong, I think it's a fantastic way of life... but intuitive eating is not a weight loss method. Intuitive eating, at its core, is a method of approaching food and…

Ahh, my bad, I shouldn't have just assumed. Aside from saying "weight loss journey", though, everything else I said still stands. I can't tell you what to do, that's your choice, but if you're hellbent on having huge cheat days and simply want to know if eating low calorie/fasting the day before or working out fasted…

Livia (AlwaysHungry) is not a good example of how to eat. She used to struggle with an eating disorder, and I'll be honest with you, I'm not entirely convinced she's recovered. She's shown what she eats throughout the week before and it honestly just seems like huge volumes of "salad" (packets and packets of various salad…

I make it a point to leave the house and go for a walk at least once a day. To be completely honest the only thing that's motivating enough to make me do that is food, so I usually pick a supermarket that's a reasonable distance and walk there (usually to buy myself some nice treat, that'll fit in my calorie goal). All of…

I think this is a wonderful way to think of it. Completely agree.

JordanShrinks on youtube - both her and her boyfriend (ZachAttacksFat) lost an enormous amount of weight and kept it off, and she frequently discusses how she lost the weight and how she keeps it off. I love her. They’re both also on Instagram.

At the moment, it's these gorgeous buttery triple chocolate chip shortbreads from Tesco's. They come in a pack of 4 and are roughly 330 calories each - initially I couldn't help myself and would finish the pack. But as I'm determined to be able to have whatever I want (in moderation), and refuse to "ban" myself from eating…

I actually had a fairly healthy relationship with food as a kid - I ate when I needed to, stopped when I wasn't hungry anymore, was very active and energetic. I had favourite foods that I enjoyed, but I wasn't obsessed with food. I messed that relationship up in my teenage years - I naturally gained a bit of weight as I…

I’d agree with the others on this post - figure out why it’s happening, and then you can begin to address the issue. I’d also highly recommend the book “Brain over Binge” by Kathryn Hansen.

5'6, no clue what my frame is. Currently at 138 lbs, aiming for 130 first then reassessing from there - I like the idea of being 120 lbs but I don't know what my body's going to look like, particularly as I'd like to build some muscle eventually. So essentially 120 is my goal, but it's dependent on how I feel about how I…

Yesterday, I had a couple of these iced, spiced buns which I usually only eat when I’m “messing up”. But I’ve been craving them for days, so I made room in my calorie goals and fit them in. They were delicious, the rest of the day went perfectly, and I woke up this morning feeling great, not sick or bloated. I love being…

Morrison’s sweet chilli popcorn - loved that stuff, could eat a family sized pack of it. There’s not many options for savoury popcorn aside from salted, so I miss it. Also, BBQ Rib Walkers crisps. They used to be in black packets (nowadays, the black packets are marmite flavour, which I can’t stand).

Gym, worked on my legs - did sumo squats, side squats, abduction machine, cable kickbacks, standing hamstring curl and hip thrusts (which I found I was able to hip thrust 80kg, not including whatever the bar weighs - I was incredibly happy about that, I'm aiming for 100kg soon!). Also, I used to get so much muscle soreness…

Thanks guys for all your kind words and advice - I will stay off the scale for a bit and simply stick to my calorie counting/logging, and focus on other habits/smaller goals. Today actually went really well. Also, @DiscipleOfChrist29 - I'm a muslim, so you're slightly barking up the wrong tree with all the Jesus stuff. I…
