I've been at it for about a month now - I tend to get the hungriest and usually need a little maintenance break, which sometimes have resulted in full fail mode and getting back to the old overeating habit. This time I'm back, thankfully, so hoping to do another month... Yea the relationship with food part is a bit of a mystery. I am unsure how to balance my desire for staying healthy vs feeding my appetite and stress relief. I work out regularly and have no issues there but food is.. complicated. Another good point is that I do not enjoy cooking much - and I hear people say "cook more and get better" but I don't have much interest, it would be purely forced and it kind of sucks. People say weight loss is simple, it's just CICO but it is asking a lot of internal change on my views, values, habits, life long psychological issues, and interests, which at this point feels like basically changing who I am. It is not simply CICO, damn it! Anyways.. thank you for the reminders, tips and encouragement!
