Thanks everyone. One more source of pressure: one of the friends I told about this so much is actually my romantic partner, who now works in another country (visa required), and whom I could have visited if I hadn't "planned" this trip on which I am not going in the end. I know very well that an understanding partner will…

Thank you sooo much for replying. I was starting to think that nobody was listening to me. You know, in this period my very best friends whom I usually ask for this kind of advice are currently in the military so there is absolutely no way I can contact them to discuss this kind of important personal decisions... so trust…

I'm from London... and I currently hate myself so much! But good to hear that there are others who might know about the fast-paced life and decisions in this city...

Come on.... anyone!?

Please... anyone... any kind of consideration I should make in this hell of a mind?

I really hate it when this happens to me, but yes I need to decide fast and I can't :-(

Thanks again! Regarding calories tracking... Well, I actually started doing it once very seriously, my "excuse" to stop doing it regularly was that there is so much food where you cannot actually find the calorie count. In supermarkets, you can always find it on the label, but in a restaurant not. Even if I cooked my own…

Just to let you know... My nutrition on "healthy days" (i.e. no work, weekends, etc) is usually as follows: - 5-8 cups of green tea spread out across the day (usually before or after meals) - Breakfast: oatmeal with almond milk, or a grapefruit and some nuts - Lunch: anything, usually with rice or pasta - Afternoon/Evening…

Thanks everyone for your advice and being thoughtful. I truly appreciate your answers and that you took my problem seriously. - I can relate with the idea that my work/life (im)balance may be one of the contributing factors. Also the comment by dwjacobs... yes, indeed, I often feel like I am wasting my time. I actually…

Thanks... I still am a little bit worried as to why when I did the same type of exercise before (say 1 and a half years ago), this did not happen. I mean, not even the bloating. In fact, I lost dramatic amounts of weight/fat after long-distance speedwalking. Most importantly, I looked really in shape after those walks Why…

Hello?

I see... rather, this whole "water retention" idea is quite new to me. I have read a lot about health and fitness but didn't know that water retention was so significant... Out of curiosity: if I exercised daily (7 days a week), maybe at different intensities and different types, would that mean that I would always look…

Hi... anything else for this case? I really dont know whether I should change entirely my routine, try something new, or just continue and try doing more regularly. But I want some suggestions on what I can do during this 1 week summer holiday... I dont want to waste it... Thanks

Thanks everyone. What is still a bit unclear to me is why previously I easily lost weight by doing exactly this exercise (long distance speed walking / brisk hiking / marching)... What would you suggest me to do to get back to 65kg or at least 70kg? I still remember that 2 years ago I did these walks to reduce from 75kg to…

Thanks for your swift reply. Now that I think of it, yes, I drank lots of fluids as well (it's advised to, right?). Yesterday alone, while exercising, 4 litres. Then when I was back at home also more and green tea. Sorry, I didn't know or maybe I forgot that water stays in the body after exercising... I hope this is it,…
