So i always lurked on here and had some pretty good successes but sadly i was never able to get the success i wanted. I think i now realized that my expectations are just too unrealistic. That dropping 20 pounds in a week is just not possible even if you starve yourself. I guess my biggest problem is literally just adhering to something that works. I remember losing 25 pounds in 6 weeks when i literally stuck to the plan consistently but i find it so difficult to be "good" for such a long time. I feel like i cave in after two weeks and it just really messes up my goals. I know now that weight loss just takes a long time. How do you deal with having to restrict yourself for such a long time span? I don't want short time success because i know i can have short time success, i want long time success. I think this way of thinking also came from my childhood where doing sports was rewarded with food. I would do good for a small periods of time (2-4 weeks) and then i would relapse into overeating for weeks. This way of thinking sadly has continued through my adult life. I'm in my 20s and i always wanted to be lean even as a teen but i always messed it up. I'm not sure if i might just be too strict with myself which leads me to binge eating. This way of thinking has ruined my life. I'm doing Intermittent Fasting right now which makes me feel pretty good, i defintely feel healther mentally and physically and i do feel like i'm losing weight but it's definitely not the silver bullet i hoped it would be. I think if i literally just trimmed my portionsizes a bit and would have done that the whole last year i would already been at my goal now. But i guess i got too impatient. Always looking for that silver bullet that just does not exist. Do you guys have any tips to adhere to a diet longterm? Much help would be appreciated.
