A follow up to my previous meme - https://lemmy.ca/post/58415099

All I’ve done is stop ordering takeout, stopped making giant suppers an hour before bed and just eat healthier and smaller meals in general. Also I only eat once per day at supper time, so I guess that’s intermittent fasting I think? Didn’t even plan to do it, but I’m feeling so much better about myself.

Also helps that I’ve never been a very food motivated person so it’s easy for me to ignore my stomach all day until supper. Now if I could just cut out alcohol I would be really happy with how I look. The one thing that’s making me stay a bit chubby 😭

    Hell yeah good work! And I get it on the alcohol part, I think when I abstained for a month i dropped like 10 pounds (that I gained back immediately after because summer is still stout season damnit) keep it up friend

          I completely get it, when you’re used to drinking booze constantly it’s hard to take a break.

          I’d be happy if I last till Wednesday tbh, I’m gonna do my best to have a sober week but it’s gonna be tough.

          All the best to you! All anyone can do is their best and learn from their mistakes.

    Congrats! I’m ~20lbs down since I started trying to lose weight again and ~50lbs from my peak weight.

    ngl I haven’t noticed a difference at all, but I did have to use a knife to make a new belt hole on my belt 😭

      Thank you!

      I’m down to 160, I think my peak weight was around 220 or so. My belt is stupidly long now, gonna buy a new smaller one so the end doesn’t wrap almost to my ass anymore 😂

        You could follow three 90s trend of twisting the loose end around and letting it dangle down your leg.

        You could even hang an onion from the end if you were so inclined!

      Honestly I’ve never been a breakfast person. I wake up and have some coffee and that’s enough for me, I’m not hungry for a few hours after waking up. Always been that way.

      That’s my go to for many reasons. Low calorie, no added sugar, hydrates you better, and helps you avoid a hangover. Also, imo vodka is the only liquor where I can drink the cheap shit without noticing a difference, so I can order well at a bar and save a few bucks, or drink Kirkland when I’m at home.
