Yet another losing weight thread

Ok, here goes my fucking Monday rant.

I am about 10 kg overweight and I look like a wet sack of potatoes. No offence intended for potatoes, of course, they’re quite sexy compared to me.

This whole losing weight shit is sooooooo easy. High protein, low carb, no processed crap and gym 3 times a week. Right? Easy. Easy peasy.

Then I fucking go to work, I hve a job that pays great but that doesn’t pay off as there’s so much pressure!!! I have clue what to take for lunch so I end up eating crap & complaining. I get home shit tired and again, who eats a salad? I eat the whole fucking fridge and I could go to the neighbors fridges as well if need might be.

Then the weekend comes.... time to relax and... eat some more crap.

Then I complain I’m fat again & the vicious circle carries on.

Please, enlighten me, you people who haven’t gone mad YET. When you diet/watch you calorie intake and you have a busy job/life

Come on, people, I can’t be the only one, am I?! How do you motivate yourselves?
How do you make it easier? What do you take for lunch at work?

Thanks.
End of rant

I gave up sugar, grains and processed carbs in January. 45lbs down now. I'm never hungry. If there's nothing available that I can't eat, I just don't eat. We are built to fast for short periods.

I am in the same position as you and it's shit!

I travel a lot for work as well. So who goes to New York for a week and eats a salad?!

I TRY to make healthy choices, and ask myself "do you really want that?". I have a Pret A Manger salad for example instead of the huge tuna baguette I think I want.

In your position, with money to throw at it, I might choose to do one of those ready meal plans delivered to the door things. Or go to M and S and buy their calorie controlled ready meals.

Also, when I had a fit bit I discovered that walking can burn the same calories as the gym (though without the cardio/muscle building benefits obvs!) Could you fit in 3 45 minute walks?

I say all this as someone who is fat as fuck at the moment.
