Step 1: Go talk to your doctor, do blood and urine tests.
Step 2: Don't overexercise. A walk per day is enough.
Step 3: NO Snacking between meals. Just eat enough during mealtimes. Don't bother with people, who will shame you for the portion sizes. (Personally, I just eat a big sandwich at work. Nothing special about it. Just bread, salami and cheese. Sometimes fish rolls also end up in the sandwich.)
Step 3: Avoid junk food! (I ate a bag of oven chips, and ballooned with 600 grams. The thing is, not even something they try to sell you as healthy is actually healthy. If it has ingredients you can't even pronounce, it will end up as extra padding.)
Step 4: If you haven't done step 1, you will definitely have a hard time. You can also ask your doctor to do you a test, to see what your resting metabolism is like. You know, so you will exercise just enough, and not end up like me. Someone who used to spend 2–3 hours per day overexercising, as the fat kept piling on.

Why do I think step 1 led me to a better life? Because:

I lost 6kg and 600 grams in 4 weeks.
My chronic pain is gone.
I can actually sleep through the night now, without waking up before the alarm.
I no longer feel the urge to eat sugar.


If you take nothing else in consideration, please consider step 1. The tests might save your life. I don't know how it is in your country, but the state health insurance in Bulgaria covers them.

And, honestly, everyone has 30 minutes per day for a walk. I ate pizza yesterday, and still lost 900 grams from yesterday to today. It is not impossible, but without professional help it is too hard for words. Yes, there are weight loss books, but honestly, the authors have taken only the average man or woman in consideration. The thing is, we are all unique, so our meal plans and exercise plans are unique as well.

Thank you for your time! =) I hope this helps. Let us get slim together!

nothing shameful about weight loss. it takes genuine dedication and work. good job so far
Actually, it is effortless, when you are well-informed, and a specialist has already evaluated your needs. That said, I did need to take medicine for my liver for three months. I swear, when I told my doctor how many hours I exercised per day, she was ready to land me in intensive care with her own hands.

Maybe she would have used a chair too, I don't know. You know, nothing like a couple of head traumas to make you rethink life.

Her words were, that I have never done something so brain-dead before, as to simply exercise with YouTube videos. I have never seen her get that angry before. It was scary, I tell you what.

You might be right, I won't argue with you. Still, I don't have a good metabolism and gained weight all my life. Now I am losing the weight without doing anything other than no snacking and a walk per day. Everyone has a chance.

Good metabolism is nice, I had hyper metabolism which isn't nice. I was constantly hungry.

True.

Same, but I just can't stop to be in pain, it's honestly a great deal

Height also plays a factor, those tall folk can eat a lot more without gaining so much weight as ive seen.

Eat carbs more 😂 and you'll be chonky like me in no time.
You think I have not tried? I am cursed! Sometimes I worry whether or not I have snakes inside eating with me. No matter how much I eat, I am forever stuck at a specific weight. The second I think I gained something, a quick trip to the toilet proves me wrong and its back to square one.

Wait! Why did I even click on this? I am not fat.
Oh! Yes. It's for my fatty bestie 🤣. Gotta advise her.
Even if you are healthy, such tests should still be done. Better safe than sorry.
