For lunch I had an orange, for dinner four pieces of vegan veggie pizza.

So, today was a fail again.

However, that pizza was really good!

Since, September 2016, I started working out again.
I usually am avid about running and lifting weights. But I injured my knees a couple years ago. And so I gained a bit of weight during school - the last couple years before that(like 10lb).

This was the first trainer I had in many years that made a huge difference. I steadily went from around 22-23% bodyfat (hard to tell, because I lost a LOT of weight back in the day) to around 17. It isn't quite at my goal yet, but I have a lot more definition.

Basically: Resetting my calories every 3-4 weeks be calculating my Total Daily Energy Expenditure as well as BMR. And cycling between High days (on workout days - weights) and lower days (on rest days ideally) has allowed me to cut a lot of bodyfat.

-I always train the same: To "increase" muscle mass (when gaining) or to "maintain" muscle mass (and cut fat), while decreasing (cutting).
-So for instance: If my TDEE is 2800 cals, and BMR is 1800 cals, then I might eat around 2300 cals one day and then 700 the next and keep doing that.
-this may not work forever. But it did work for me and I'm in better shape than ever mostly.
-I keep Protein high, and fats high, and have below 100g carbs, and sometimes much lower.

-Also fasted training, Intermittent fasting works too. This is all pretty extreme, but I tend to lose track and am very disorganized, so this extremeness helps when I mess up - because on average its still very good.

-Various calculators exist on line for your TDEE. Also, I must say when I was a teen and first lost 70lb (maintained 90% of the time). I since then never had a trainer that really got me results, until recently. By myself I do well. Mentally, it helps my depression and ADHD. But I think my ADHD is so strong, and I'm clumsy/ uncoordinated, that I simply don't do some exercises correctly, no matter how many times I try!

So a trainer can go a LONG way. But its 80% diet. a

-Right now, I'm considering switching a med, so that I can continue my progress.
-I was 250lb at 16 years old, 180lb at 18 years old.
-Now I'm 172lb.

163.7 down 6 pounds since 1-4-17, mostly following a low carb diet. Have had some cheat days but doing pretty well. Have switched to drinking wine instead of beer. Drank too much last night.

Dinner: French fries

People here in Europe are kinda rude, with waiters telling me and my co-workers to "shut up" just because we flagged him down and asked for English menus. "Shut up. It's not your turn." Happened last time I was here, too, and at a different restaurant.

I have officially lost the extra ten pounds I put on in December! I'm 200.6, almost under 200. I'm so happy! Low carb actually works! I'm hoping to mKe it back down to 175 so my clothes will fit again. Only 25 pounds to go! I've been losing an average of two a week so hopefully by summer I'll be back down and won't have to buy new summer clothes.

What better way to celebrate 11 pounds lost than to blow it? Lol! I had a well deserved cheat meal today. Fried deliciousness smothered in sugary BBQ sauce and served on sourdough. And the French fries. Oh my god, so good. I was eating French fries two to three times a week and it's been a month since I've had any! And a hot fudge sundae to top it all off. I figure I will allow myself one cheat meal a month. It may slow down my weight loss but damn it will be delicious.

Back on low carb tomorrow. Totally worth the weight I might have gained!

Why do I eat when I am not really hungry?
Why am I self destructive?
I am ashamed of how I look but I don't stop eating
What is wrong with me????
Seriously, what is wrong with me??
