How do I lose weight?

[Anonymous]

When I was a little kid, I was bullied so much that I started to binge eat fast food and sugar to deal with my depression. I gained over 10kgs and I felt awful. I have been trying to lose weight for ages by overexcercising myself and I haven't gotten skinnier. so I thought why not starve myself instead? It didn't work either. I ended up putting on more and more weight which really damaged my mental health even more.

My body type is a mesomorph going into endomorph. I was skinny as a kid. how do I go back to being skinny again?

1. Cut out sugar (lmk if you have a sugar addiction and want tips on breaking that)

2. Stop eating frozen foods

3. Stop eating packaged foods (such as chips, pancake syrup, sugary cereals, boxed mac & cheese, ramen, poptarts, etc.)

4. Stop eating fast food & fried food (unless you fry it in healthy oils like olive oil or avocado oil for example. Don't use canola, vegetable, soy, or corn oil.)

5. Eat fruits & vegetables with every meal.

6. Drink water with Himalayan salt or lemon juice in it 1-2 times a day. Or drink water with alkaline or sparkling water. The point is to get enough minerals from the water you drink so that you stay hydrated without drinking too much water. That'll help with face bloating.

Honestly as long as you do these things & regularly workout, you should lose weight. Don't over do it with workouts though. And the goal isn't to be skinny, it's to be healthy.

I saw a video of a girl online who was talking about how proud she was of how she had lost weight. She showed before and after pics and the after pics were actually gross because she was too skinny. It was unhealthy. Don't focus on skinny. A LOT of men like curves anyways. Just focus on making your body look & feel the best it can. Skinny isn't best. Healthy is. Focus on feeling good in your body, not looking good for others. If you like your body, it doesn't matter who doesn't. So treat your body right so that you can like it. Don't abuse your body by starving it or overworking it. Take care of it. Feed it properly & use it properly.

Lol what's wrong with frozen foods, especially if you'll cook them anyway? Or even without cooking, for example tape worm eggs die in the freezer in case if you eat raw meat. And even fruits and vegetables become more absorbable when cell walls are broken from thawing.

Instead of fruits & vegetables every meal, should be protein every meal.

@Rainbow_Warming they are usually too processed and have too much sodium.

Yeah, protein should be eaten with every meal. I just didn't mention it because most americans eat plenty of meat for protein already. However they don't eat enough fruits and vegetables. Fruits and vegetables provide a lot of vitamins. But fruits and veggies don't really keep you full for as long as fats & proteins will. So I think they should be used as snacks & sides to your meal while protein should be the base of your meal.

DO: Eat healthy, get exercise like cardio and lifting weights, get plenty of sleep, and try to avoid stress if possible

DON'T: Eat too much saturated fats, carbs, and salt, purge, skip meals, not exercise, try to lose weight too fast, or give up

It'll take some time to lose weight in a healthy way. It can take several months depending on how much you want to lose. Genetics may play a role in your weight as well.

You don't.

What you have done is chosen to develop an extremely serious and damaging mental illness, this was a mistake.

What you should choose to do now is move on from this mistake by looking after yourself.

That means you eat and sleep properly, you support yourself with kind words etc (self love and affirmation etc) and you live an active lifestyle.

All this what you look like stuff is symptomatic of your illness and is not at all helpful, you should catch yourself doing it and put a stop to it where the problem exists, inside your mind.

People that don't change is because of the opposite of what it seems: they beat them up so badly that they can't set a lesser easier goal.

So the way is, instead of doing what is hard for you, doing what is attainable. Later on, when you can handle that well, you can think of more if it fits.

Sleep well, eat well, exercise well. Quality of food usually the number 1 problem. Stay away from junk food. You need to change your mindset. Get these 3 in order. Can take a long time. But never give up, never surrender.
