I have had a ONGOING relationship with Dieting-from Weight Watchers, to Keto to heaven knows what other fad diets were doing the rounds. In most cases I always reached some level of success, but at some stage would ALWAYS drift off the set in stone routine, & gain back ALL the weight or more. So, I decided to find my OWN MAGIC MOJO, which incorporated FOOD GLORIOUS food, and a little bit of lifestyle adjusting, (WHICH I CREATED FOR MYSELF) - so I officially BROKE UP WITH DIETING - started my own little journey adapted for me and my habits and love of food, and started Intermittent Fasting & daily calorie counting. In addition, to keep me focussed on the fact that I am NOT DIETING, I only apply this for 4 days a week (Mon to Thurs), and Fri,Sat and Sundays I pig out a bit, on all kinds of treats..☺☺ Keeping me well and truly feeling normal - the moment I follow a 'diet' - I feel deprived of normalcy, deprived of food - & I go off the rails, not immediately, but inevitably somewhere along the lines. This has worked for me - SLOW AND STEADY gets there. I was 93kgs in Jan 2020 - went down to 83kgs, fell off the wagon a bit over the festive period (I was still in the experimental stage with regards what works perfectly FOR ME) - gained 3kgs - up to 86kgs. Started my journey again in January 2021 at 86kgs, and SLOWLY (as this is by choice how I want to do things - SLOWLY and SUSTAINABLY) - I am now currently (weighed in on Friday 13 August) at 71.1 KGs. I take EVERY small lose as a victory, as something to celebrate - & every small gain (or remaining the same weight) as motivation to continue....I'm doing so well, and loving this journey - & Fatsecret has been SUCH an amazing tool with regards all my Calorie Counting needs. Be safe out there....but have fun. Life is too too short ♥
