Biggest mistake is thinking you have to lead this punishing all-out lifestyle just to be healthy. Find foods that are legit healthy (not stupid bullshit like sugary yogurt cups with fruit on the bottom - whole foods, not processed, high protein, low cal, healthy fat, low sugar/carb, etc) and learn which ones you can incorporate into your diet on the reg. Learn to cook lean healthy protein and make that your staple at every meal.
Instead of worrying about working out, just do active shit you enjoy. The trick with all this is finding stuff you enjoy and can sustain over the long run, not something you can force yourself to do for three months where you're on a paranoid and neurotic fitness kick. |

my wife has been out of town for the past week. on thurs, i had a big burger and fries. on fri, i had thai food for dinner. on sat, i had indian food. on sunday, i had another burger and few scoops of ice cream.
when im alone - and even when im w the wife - my mind associates good/desirable meals with crap foods such as chick fil a, burgers, pizza, etc. i never *naturally* crave something healthy and low-fat. |

Also, you can eat shit foods from time to time and be healthy. Feeling like you NEED a burger and ice cream every time you're hungry is the equal of drinking a case of beer every time you feel like having a drink. You are basically acting like a chick when you convince yourself that every meal needs to be some kind of opulent indulgence. Food is fuel - 75% of your meals should just be filling up with healthy food, not some kind of dopamine rollercoaster of carbs and salt and fat. |

Do something crazy this weekend. I find that when there's a sudden change in lifestyle, it's easy to make other changes to go along with it. |

one thing i found huge when i was dieting is, after you eat, before going for seconds or finding an after meal snack, wait 30 minutes, and you'll notice u feel fuller
cut things that add calories to your diet like soda (at the very least replace with diet, but really you should try to drink more water) that don't really satisfy your hunger but add weight.
don't try to do too much at once, you'll quickly burn out. |

get those bags of baby carrots at the store and just eat those during the day if you're hungry. they take a while to digest and will make you full as fuck.
for dinner do something centered around meat sans carbs. lots of decent dinner vegetables. You can make a soup with water, no broth, that is full of a shit ton of vegetables and eat as much of it as you want and you'll feel full as fuck. don't eat before bed and don't stay up so fucking late that you get hungry again. drink a shitton of water all day.
really just avoid eating shit. if you had crackers or something during the day before, eat carrots. if you ate a lot of pasta, rice, etc. dinners, switch it to meat + vegetables. you won't really notice the difference after a week and if you go back to eating shit food it probably won't have the same WOW I NEED THIS FAT+GREASE+SALT factor right away again. give up drinking if you're strong enough, it's a major calorie drain. this is the hardest for me but if you go for stretches with no booze you really notice it.

I was almost concerned by how much weight was coming off.
Never exercised. Never felt overly hungry. |
