Do you own a kitchen scale? Is measuring to the gram accurate enough? One that has decimal grams is overkill right?
>>76756932Mine only goes to nearest 2g its fine.
>>76756932theres scale that exists without the decimal grams?
>>76756932yes, yes, maybe ?
this cut will be over any week now and I can finally start eating like a normal person again without worrying if every calorie is going to ruin my progress
fuck I'm wanting soup, but i also want to finish my fast, at this point i keep just alternate day fasting and eating soup at a calorie deficit (just so i can keep losing weight either way). how do i break through this rut and keep fasting?i got 6 last pounds i want off before Halloween.
>>76756944Just gotta get lean
>>76756946eat thinner soup, less ingredients. more broth.
Replaced hunger with exercise. I have never felt better in my life. WAGMI
>>76756944Good for you. How long has it taken you? I still have until approximately April. I miss pasta.
How many more reps should I expect to be able to do after my soreness is gone?
>>76756979Also, should I, say, do half of my maximum reps the day after exercising?
>>76756979>>76756981Rests days are important so don't skip on that.If you are to skip a rest day, make sure you are not working the same muscles as the day before, giving at least one day of rest per muscle group.If you can reach your max reps with ease then feel like you can do one or two more, add them to your routine. It all depends on how you feel.
>>76756902One week into the cut and this shit is already terrible.
Been lifting, more off than on, for three years. Dropped from 300 lbs to currently about 200. Finally hit "noticeable muscles but still fat-gut" stage of fitness. I'm one of my on-periods again, second week of doing a six day split.I still have tits, probably genetics at this point, and it's kinda soul crushing to try and do any sort of pose and see them.
>>76757022>I'm one of my on-periods again, second week of doing a six day split.Are you burning yourself out with 6 days/week? 4, 3 or even 2/week consistently would be a lot better if you could keep those up.

>>76757205Gone too soon. Thank fucking God I can grow something that resembles a beard or it would unironically be over.
I have been eating at a 30% or higher deficit for 2 months now and I have only lost a few pounds. I log every calorie and eat less than 40 carbs per day. I was under the assumption I'd lose a pound per week at least but I seem to be defying physics or something. I know your fat cells can fill with water but surely that'd stop at some point?

>>76756902I might be asking in the wrong thread but what do I do at the gym after beginner/intermediate workouts? I keep seeing ‘keep going until your linear progression stops’ but I don’t understand how to improve if I’m not adding weight to the bar every session. Do I just start only adding it every 2 or 3 sessions or something?I’m also quite content doing 3-5 ish exercises in a workout, mostly compound with a little bit of accessories, I don’t like the idea of having to bounce around doing 8+ exercises like I see in a lot of workout routinesTo make this semi /fat/ related I started lifting as my exercise when I started to diet, I’m doing well but I fail reps a lot so I’m looking to mix it up a bit, but I know when I get to my goal weight and I can eat more I will feel stronger

It really is just cico and fasting to become lean enough to not hate yourself isn't it...damn...
>>76757572yep, pretty much
>>76757571>what did you eat today, /fat/ friends?made some soup in the slow cooker at the start of the week and have been eating it every day. Shit is fucking phenomenal, I'm gonna make a chicken version next week
>>76757571Nice. Im on my night shift swing currently, and its a lot easier to eat less than when working normal hours. Wake up around 2pm, bowl of protein oats with fruit and a coffee. go gym in the quiet afternoon hours, come back home, make dinner, tonight is quick and easy, tuna, rice, avo bowl, pack protein shake and an apple for 10pm brew and leave for work.
>>76757583I actually want to start trying to make some soups. My mom always made great hearty veg soups using ham hocks. I got given a decent size thermos flask that would be perfect to take soups to work in.
>>76757585I used to be skeptical about soups, but now I'm fully converted. You can stuff as many veggies as you want into it, as long as you slow cook it long enough it just comes out as an extremely rich, flavorful broth just bursting with nutrients
200g down for the week so far, with 24hours until weigh in. Hopefully can hit 0.5kg total (1lb) and it'll feel like a win
>>76757588umm sorry sweaty, 0.5kg is actually 1.1lb, NOT 1lb
>>76757571Kind of stepped outside of my meal prep a little today because I hate the chicken bowls I made. Was trying to make some kind of salt and vinegar chicken concoction but overdid it on cooking the veggies in vinegar too. Should have just left it at the chicken. So I threw out the rice and veggies and just ate the chicken out of it today. Will probably do that for the rest of the week. Tried this Barebell protein bar which was pretty good. Not going to get too reliant on those but I might treat myself to one every now and then like I did today.Pretty stoked about close to 180g protein for 1260 calories though
>>76757587I tried the soup diet once. You basically make a massive pot of soup and you eat pretty much nothing but soup for 7 days. Lost good weight but I feel sick now whenever I imagine that smell. This is pretty much the diet>Day 1: Eat unlimited soup, any fruit (no bananas), and unsweetened coffee or tea.>Day 2: Eat unlimited soup, and raw vegetables.>Day 3: Eat unlimited soup, and fruit and vegetables (no potatoes or bananas).>Day 4: Eat unlimited soup, skim milk, and up to eight bananas.>Day 5: Eat unlimited soup, 400 grams of protein, and up to six tomatoes.>Day 6: Eat unlimited soup, beef and vegetables (no potatoes).>Day 7: Eat unlimited soup, brown rice, and sugar-free fruit juice.
>>76757602yea that's a little too aggressive for me, it's just a nice way to make 3-4 easy servings to help with weekly meal prep

>>76756932>Is measuring to the gram accurate enough?Are you fucking retarded? Ofc it is. If a few grams of food makes a difference in your diet then you're doing it wrong.
>>76757923
Come home from gym with a bag chicken. Make salad wrap add chicken and leftover lamb from last night. Still hungry, make bowl of chicken rice and avocado and olives. Feel good. Glad I didnt buy and snacks from the supermarket, I would definately be demolishing them right now if I had them.
20kg down. Also plasma donation done. Will see how much it helps with losing weight next week.Does anyone here have experience with dobating platelets? How bad is the wait?
STOP GIVING THEM YOUR BODY PARTS
Can I donate fat?
>>76758155I get money and it burns calories while removing microplastics from my body. No.
>weighed myself every day since last week same time as always same conditions>stall 5 days in a row so far>on 800 calorie deficitthis shit is fucking annoying, makes my tism overthink and im convinced im doing something wrong, I did increase my lifts this week slightly, could it be inflamation/water retention from lift progress?
It’s funny that i get really sad when i get on scale every morning to see no loss or even weight gain sometimes, but when it comes to the measuring day, my body locks in and i weigh exactly as much as my diet program said i would. Maybe it’s a psychological thing.
>>76758217same dude, i get so depressed if i dont see weekly progress on the scale, ruins my entire day when i step on the scale and even though i autistically measure everything to stay in a deficit. I've started to lock in on my activity more, commiting to 10k steps a day no matter what, hoping this helps this week to unstuck me from this stall, everyone says its super important so maybe my slacking there has been the issue.
7kg down, trying to do a recomp (losing about 200-500g a week) and it seems to be working, seeing some muscle definition, I can even feel and almost see my clavicles now. Not to mention the lifting progress, I can curl 20kg pretty comfortably now compared to just 3 weeks ago.Not even halfway through (92 kg right now) but I look way better than at my lightest (79), and I literally never felt better, not going back to being a fat fuck ever again
>>76758230I've been recomping too, anon. Curious what your macros/lifting routine is. I'm fatter than you though>112kg>lost 12 kg so far>about 130g protein daily>doing a 3 day full body split i found on youtube with dumbells>had good progress, can lift 17kg dumbells for most excercises, cant see much muscle through the fat but i feel stronger.
>>76758191I stopped donating plasma when they nicked the vein and caused a massive haematoma, but after covid there's no way I'm ever going back. The vaxxies can get fucked, they're not getting a drop of my blood.
>>76758235To be fair I'm not too focused on the recomp, if it works it works.Started at around 100 ish, didn't weigh myself back then. Myfitnesspal set my calorie limit to 2760, I try to stay 100-500 under that. The protein goal is 138, I'm usually around 150ish, gonna be 163 today.I do a 4 day upper lower split (made with gpt but modified heavily), I have dumbbells, an ez bar, and recently got a bench which was a huge improvement.As for supplements: creatine, ashwagandha, d3, k2, omega3, magnesium, and a multivitamin.Honestly the most important part was getting over my snack addiction. Before I started counting calories I spent about a month eating only two snacks per day (so one candy bar and one bowl of chips as opposed to five of each). After getting used to that, staying in a deficit is piss easy since those were the main source of my excess calories. Also the most surprising bit was actually enjoying lifting, in my past attempts I'd just try to get it over with.
>>76758254>Myfitnesspal set my calorie limit to 2760, I try to stay 100-500 under that.I'm suprised you seeing results, that seems high to me, do you do a lot of walking/cardio? I'm on 1700 calories atm and still seeing slow progress/stalls sometimes, but i thought that was the lifting causing inflamation or water retention or just the muscle gains. good shit anon, i too take a multivitamin, magnesium before bed and omega 3. i didnt wanna take creatine cause i heard it causes mad water retention and i cant deal with the fuckery it would cause on the scale.
>>76758254>Myfitnesspal set my calorie limit to 2760>at 92kghow.
>>76758279NTA but is that unusual?My TDEE was about 2800 at that weight.
>>76758293This is my TDEE at 112kg with sedentary picked as the option, my guess is he picked the active option, which isnt good if you ask me. TDEE with activity in mind can be very overestimated causing you to eat more calories than you burn, which is why its always better to use caution and calculate your TDEE based on sedentary and just take any activity caloric burn as a bonus.
>>76758293my TDEE is around 2200 with 96kg using a 1.2 activity multiplier (sedentary lifestyle). are y'all using higher activity levels? I do workout and use my bike 5 out of 7 days but I don't want to add that to my TDEE as I feel the calculation is way more complicated that way. I'm currently trying to aim for a 700 calorie deficit and am losing about 3kg each month on average. so how the hell is y'all TDEE so high?
>>76758257>>76758279I was surprised too, but can't really argue with the results. As for cardio, I cycle to and from work (not a ton obviously but it's something) and go on 6-15km forest walks once or twice a week. My job does involve some manual labor and it's mostly standing, but nothing too heavy, just office stuff.Also here's my plan for the day, I'd usually have a protein creatine shake for breakfast but I ended up skipping it today.

>>76758298>>76758301I mean my actual TDEE taken when comparing weight loss rate vs calorie intake over several weeks. That was with an hour of workout every day, alternating lifts and cardio and fairly sedentary otherwise.
>>76758235Hey anon could you link me that dumbbell full body split? I'm still too self conscious to go to a gym so I do all my working out at home and cardio in the park

Can I fast every other day and lift?
>>76757345You are counting it wrong or forgetting to add things like oil/butter for cooking, sodas, snack or eating slop from restaurants which you literally can’t estimate how much calories is in it…My tdee is 2150 I’m on 1900 calories diet + gym or run almost each day (so -300-500 calories) and I’m home office fag so except that no movement. I’m losing 0,5kg each week no problem. Ignore the Anti CICO faggots, they just never learned how to count numbers together .

I'm through bargaining and now have to accept that I have to quit smoking. Any former fatties who quit smoking here? I'm worried its the only thing that allowed me to control the hunger.
>>76758407your appetite will be a little bit higher but that's it physically, your main problem will be what to do with yourself in situations where you would normally smoke, like morning routines, breaks etc. because a lot of people start snacking to replace the cig. If you think you'll have a problem with controlling hunger try to go low carb, that helped me a lot with hunger control
>>76758436I have mostly replaced it with vaping but I think that has to go too, its all bad. I'm pretty worried about it and I've quit much harder substances in the past. It's just 3-4 days of torment right?

>>76758456well yeah that's the addiction talking, that's why I said that you immediately quit because the pack will never run out, you'll buy another. Throw what you already have away, that's the only thing that helped me because it's also a very strong start and big step to waste the cigs
>>76758407Yeah I quit using the patches or w/e. Wasn't the worst.
You lads ever look into the mirror and are sorta happy with how you look and then take a picture for progress and in the picture you look like dog shit?
>>76758478I only like how I look in the mirror when i'm subconsciously using angles to hide my terrible chin, lower third, hips and shape. I deluded myself into thinking i was handsome before I gained the weight. having lost it all again I can see that no, I was wrong, I was always just ugly.
>>76758481Heh bro don't cut me so deep, maybe I am abusing angles in the mirror but I am in the picture too... It's never been so ogre.
Is there even a point to weight loss if you have a small dick? Like, if I'm five inches is there even a point to working off the gut? I'm unfuckable either way.

>>76758489You can gain like an inch+ from getting lean, less fatpad and better blood flow. Worst case you can fall down the PE rabbit hole.
>>76758506It's five inches when I mush down the fat around my dick. Otherwise, it's truly a heartbreaking sight.Like someone planted an acorn and heaped dirt around it. Y'know?
>>76758318https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B12MXF0bSFoI used this one, of course if you are a real beginner some stuff like nordics, maybe the lunges should be bodyweight etc, etc. will be tough to do, so google alternative workouts for those, and adjust accordingly. Would recommend getting a bench that inclines/declines from amazon, totally worth it along with the dumbells. Also dont worry about making every set x12, you could start with x8 then try to push for x12 eventually. Gl anon.

I really have to eat the sane thing every day.I was down this morning all i had to do was not fuck up today and id have a good weigh in tomorrow. Sitting here now, only ate 1000cals but guts is bloated and i feel pressure in my ass but cant shit. Fmd
>>76758562Caffeine makes me poop
>>76758562>>76758576I've actually considered taking anti-constipation meds the night before my weigh-in but then I think thats really retarded.
>>76758588eat more fiber and take probiotics
>>76757937Nah that's me.
Why are lifters so concerned with gut health and taking fiber? Secret bottoms? Obviously, but what else is driving this behavior?
>>76757917great job sticking with it through the plateau, that shit sucks so bad. Just got through a week and a half plateau and felt like saying "fuck it" and abandoning the diet all together
>>76757928yea you said onions sauce the first time anon
>>76758253I always feel bad about not donating blood since I'm O-, but have always been afraid of needles. Whenever I have to get bloodwork done I get lightheaded and nearly pass out
>>76758489it really does make a difference anon. I've got a raging 6 incher, and all this fat makes me look like I have a micropenis (plus I'm a grower which doesn't help). Only a month into my journey and have already lost 10lbs so far, I can actively notice my dick getting bigger as more of that pubic fat goes down
>>76758653I used to powerlift back in the day, and trust me, you do NOT want to have a blowout while you're squatting a 3 rep max pb

>>76758725fruits expensive :^)
>>76758725>Ordering McDonalds in the first placeYour fitness decision was already fucked from the start. Frozen fruits are cheaper, frozen food in general is way cheaper.A parfait, also not healthy, or a fruit cup isn't going to reverse the shitton of sodium, cholesterol and saturated fat you're eating before it. You did a bad thing and should feel bad.

>>76758776Some will not make it, but all of us will.
>>76758776Some days I lift and see progress, and I think>I'm making it brahThen some other days I step on the scale and see no progress and think>I'm not making it brahUps and downs.
>>76758785>This isn't even crack, Dad! It's free-fucking-base, /okay/?!
>>76758659thanks! rationally I knew it'd go down somewhen but some plateaus man, they really try to break you. giving up is not an option tho. I have two little kids I need to look after and I can't be getting some stupid preventable disease just because I'm a lazy fat fuck. also being able to just be active with them and explore stuff outside is the highest rewarding thing I've ever done. grinding teeth, committing. we're all going to make it.
>>76758776What does making it mean? Roiding too much and dying of heart failure?
Damn man its hard to not be scared of those "90% of people gain all the weight back" stats as someone who has only recently gotten down from 41bmi to 23bmi. I really hope that because I wasn't obese as an adolescent and only gained all the weight when my family forced me to take psychiatric medications when I was 19 that I am somehow better shielded from this.
>>76758817Just dont get complacent. 90% of people get complacent and stop putting in the effort to maintain a healthy weight.
>>76758821I hope so. Not walking 20k steps a day and doing basic lifting makes me feel terrible but I could easily slip out of that if I ever thought I was "done". But when I lose a little more I'm going to start trying to gain muscle to improve my loose skin situation so I can avoid the complacency by moving onto a new target.
just had a delicious protein burrito bowl from chick fila, fuck you faggots
Started at 240 Goal is 179Stalled around 204Any suggestions to get the next 20lbs of loss going?
>>76758853eat less calories than you require in a day. just keep at it, it'll start dropping again sooner or later.
>>76758853most of the advice i've seen is drop your calories by 100-150 and add 2-3k more steps a day of walking.

Hey guys. I think i hit my first plateau. Typically I waited for a big flush. What do? Do I cut even harder and wait for the break and the resume?
>>76758902Gaining weight is not a plateau fatty
>>76758905When i got to 247.4 I was pretty damn hungry and just probably low on water from normal levels. I eat no more than 2k calories per day strictly measured. I did have pasta last week but whatever it is, my body is stubborn right now
>>76758909drastically cut your carb intake if you're having plateau issues. You need to deplete your glycogen stores, maybe throw in an IF fast as well
>>76758909You binged didn't you
>>76758852>Fast food again You'll hit your weight goal in no time! Any advice for anyone trying to pack it on?
if anyone is poor, evidently mcdonald's monopoly promotion is legally required to allow people to "play" without purchasing anything. you register and then can request 10 entries per day. people are using this and eating at mcdonalds for free every day, as like half of the entries yield a free food item. i know this is dangerous information to post on /fat/, but maybe (you) can make it work.
>>76758784flavored greek yogurt. usually strawberry or blueberry because they're cheap, key lime or coconut if i'm splurging.
>>76758939You disgust me
>>76758918I had 820 calories worth of pasta/sauce/butter last tuesday but that was it. It took me to 2223 calories that day (BMR is 2058)>>76758914I wouldnt be surprised then. I do do HIIT weight training for an hour a day Monday through Friday and have been really pushing it lately. This morning was arms and my arms so damn swollen. Even after the post workout swelling goes away I can definitely tell my arm and leg muscles are growing. So I assume its mainly glycogen and water shit.An IF fast is Intermittent fast? Whats the best time to do it? Eat in the morning and then nothing until the next morning?
>Be me>132kg 195cm lard ass>Want to buy picrel>Max user weight is 120kgWhat's the worst that can happen? Any fatasses had experience with exceeding max user weight on equipment? How did it go?Should I lose the 12 kg first?
>>76758969I didn't realise I was exceeding the max weight on my shitty chink treadmill for over 8 months and nothing happened. I would be more scared of doing that on a bench or with weights though.
Not going to eat a single carb today, Ive had less than 20g of carbs every day for the last 5 days
>>76758964>IFno, the easiest way to do it is to have dinner, then not eat until 16-20 hours later depending on how you're feeling. if you really want to, you can OMAD (one meal a day) and not eat again until dinner
>>76758939I do this but I havent eaten fast food in like 5 years, kind of based poormaxxing
>>76758964Probably all the excess carbs bloated you with water.
which one would be most accurate, if i walk 10k steps daily and 1 hour of gym 6 times a week? other than that not much physical activity. i feel like even lightly active doesn't align with my past weight loss progress
>>76758969you could also get started with resistance bands, those are much cheaper, take up no space and can still be quite the challenge if done right.
>>76758991Sedentary
do you guys know how long it takes for lowering your salt to take affect? E.g. from 6000 mg sodium to 2000 mg sodium, how will water retention change?
>>76759005Schizo
>>76758964
>>76759006bro one cheese slice on my burger was 500 mg...
>>76759005>lowering saltFor what purpose? Excess salt isn't bloating you. Its the carbs.>>76759010Okay so how can you consolidate this with people saying you can only absorb x amount of protein in a certain amount of time. How am I supposed to get 150g of protein in and only eat for 4 hours a day?I dont want to lose the little muscle I have.
>>76759029edema, kidney disease, blood pressure
>>76759010one thing i never understood about intermittent fasting...if you're eating 100g-150g of protein in a 4 hour window, can your body even use it all or is it a waste?
Just finished my lifts, muscles twitching, feelsgoodman.
>>76759032Just drink more water.
>>76759029>Excess salt isn't bloating you. Its the carbs.I'm on carnivore and I personally don't notice any difference between high salt and low salt days, but I've also seen some guys that do way more research on this stuff (and are also on carnivore) say that meat already has enough sodium and you should avoid salt because it will bloat you. So it might not just be carbs.
>>76759010I assume sleep counts as fast btw

>>76759029>How am I supposed to get 150g of protein in and only eat for 4 hours a day?You either eat like a fuckton of meat in 1 sitting, which can't be good longterm for your guts and shit, or you just don't do fasting if muscle maintenance/gains is your goal, dumfuck.

>>76758665I’m o- and used to donate a lot. The hour long administrative process was annoying but I’d still do it. Then I moved states, had to deal with work and personal stuff so missed a couple months and they would NOT STOP harassing me. Multiple phone numbers, emails, texts, like 2-3 calls a day at one point. Combined with how they sell the blood for ridiculous sums while giving me a juice box and cookie, I realized if they want my blood so bad they need to make it worth my while. Why am I sitting in a waiting room at all? Why do I have to answer the same 30 questions every time that boil down to “do you have AIDS?” Is o- is that valuable why don’t I get a fast pass and a check? Bullshit

>>76759599your point ? a like bread and it is cheap as fuck like 0.07 euro per day for it
Damn, if telling someone they'll gain an inch or two isn't motivational to get them to lift harder, I don't know what will.
>>76759629some people would actually rather take the easier but much more unpleasant route when availablethey would rather blame and complain about everything under the sun and suffer through all the consequences of obesity than go through any real effort fixing it, simply because the former requires nonenothing you can do for such people
>>76759629What does it matter how big it is if I dont use it?
>>76759629>>76759662You can't talk someone into losing weight or getting fit. It's a switch that has to flip in your head where you're serious about it and that's basically your top priority. At different points in my life I've been 80 lbs down or whatever, family or friend wants to know how I did it and they say they will do it too. I show them exactly what I did and then they refuse to stop buying a massive Dunkin Donuts sugar slop drink every day or whatever. Literally doesn't matter how low effort my diet and exercise plan is. They've gotta want to.
>>76759718This cannot be overstated.
>>76759724>>76759718I could make anyone lose weight easy peasy.
Seriously? less than 1200 cals to lose 1kg a week?This would be torture

>>76759727If it involves some saw type scenario where they're chained to a post in the middle of a gym with a controlled diet, sure.

>>76759769Took a day off, then took another day off as I felt pain and didn't want to exacerbate anything
>>76759739>>got discouraged because I lost zero weightAre you weighing and measuring everything you eat? Use cronometer or another food tracking app if you aren't. Don't take steps backward like that. There's a rubber band effect where you'll notice effects if you give it an honest shot.

If I go through with this will my voice get deeper?
>>76759629Okay, I may have taken this literally. I was doing shoulder press machine 140 (70 for single arm). Started sets x5, by 3rd set I was already working to failure at 3x, short rest and 2x after.Second to last set, first rep. I push it up and right when I hit the end of my range of motion, I get a sharp as fuck pain in my lower right back.I stopped, stretched it out and all. It's not anything terrible, I just dropped two plates and finished up after I quit my crying. But, holy shit, that was actually scary
>>76759902The biological effect is minor unless you're a proper hambeast in which case you just sound muffled.But your brain automatically adjusts your pitch by up to a fifth up and down based on your relative social standing so having a mogging physique makes your voice deeper indirectly.

>>76759969why would you submit yourself to that
Literally the only way I was able to go from 300 to 200 pounds in 5 months was by not eating for weeks at a time. My longest period was 20 days.I wasn't even trying to lose weight, I just had COVID and couldn't even stand to smell food without getting nauseous. It's never something I'd encourage. I was getting severely dehydrated because I couldn't understand why I was throwing up every time I tried to drink something before I figured out to drink hot water. I was puking up bile and brown chunks that I think was my body eating itself. I had terrible constipation and stopped shitting, also for days at a time. This ended up with me having an impaction. I had astigmatism in one eye for some God damn reason too.I would never encourage someone to stop eating just in order to lose weight. But, it did work for me.
>>76759989just do rolling 72 hour fasts, its really easy.
>>76759981The master chef stuff doesn't trigger my hunger at all. Only the recommendations do and I don't go out of my way to watch them. Just sucks that laughing at a turbonerd italian food "critic" has polluted my algorithm, and I'll probably have to stop watching stuff even slightly food related for the time being.

>>76760029>>76760029>>76760007i had a couple slices of deli meat because i feel like shit today. luckily its not a huge addition to my daily calories
>>76759718I hit that switch once in my early 20's. Lost so much weight, nearly hit my goal of 140lb and people I've known all my life made comments to me about how thin I looked. Sadly, I gained it all back because ultimately there were underlying issues I was covering up with sloppa (like my hatred of work) and once life changed to bring those to the forefront it was like every single day there was a mental pull to just eat a little bit more because maybe it might make me feel better.I think there's 2 sides of it. When things are going well it's simple enough to make it your priority. When things are going shit you have to have either a strong mental David Goggins style (and pretty much suffer perpetually until your external situation improves and things are going well again), or have made some level of peace with your demons.
