first, my sw wasnt that high, i thought that’s important to share. i was just on the end of healthy bmi (about 23-24). in the span of 4 months or actually even less, i got to 18 bmi, might even be 17s now

OMAD FOR DINNER!! this is what saved me. its easy for me to fast during the day but really hard to do it at night so i just had my omad with my family for dinner.

RESPOND TO YOUR CRAVINGS!! do not avoid something you’re craving. if you want chocolate, grab a few squares and put the packet away. better to have some in moderation than keep thinking about it and end up binging on it later. this way i’ve NEVER ever binged.
#5
do not drop your intake way too low!! my intake was 700-1000 for most days and this is one of the reasons i haven’t binged. an intake that’s too low makes it more likely for you to binge.

at the start i did 10k steps a day but then i stopped during summer. ik everyone says this but it really is important because it slimmed down my legs A LOT!
#7
DO NOT WEIGHT YOURSELF OFTEN!! this one is really important. i weighed myself once every few weeks, maybe even once a month. the absolute joy i felt when i saw the insane amount of weight i had lost everytime is unmatched. its a life changer, do not obsess over the scale.

make your food YUMMY! whenever you cook for yourself make sure to use seasoning, don’t be afraid of it. a lot of people say to make ur food look unappetising but that just makes you miserable.
#9
SMALL PLATES! again, this is basic, but it’s a life changer. i use these dessert plates and it really looks like im eating a lot but in reality the amount of food is small (these pics are just for comparison to show the plate lmao that’s not what i ate)
#10
DISTRACT YOURSELF WITH SOMETHING! i got into games, especially tomodachi life, and while playing i completely forgot to eat, didn’t have any cravings.

pls enjoy food when you go out with your friends. always get something. i omad when we go out. not something little, an actual filling meal that’s max 1000 cals. i check their menus in advance and count the approx. calories of the meals i like so im prepared when we go.

spam diet sodas. they might cause temporary bloating but they really do help with hunger.
#13
do not punish yourself if you overeat. just move on. you haven’t lost any progress. tomorrow is another day. you can even treat this “overeating” as a metab day, which you need to have anyways.
