Who here is having trouble adhering to a fairly simple diet due to lack of self control? I was thinking it could be good to have an accountability buddy like addiction recovery people sometimes do.

Who here is having trouble adhering to a fairly simple diet due to lack of self control?
How do you imagine an anonymous stranger on the internet is going to keep you accountable if you can't even be honest with yourself?
I can be honest with myself. Thanks for the bump.
so long as you frame this about will power and honesty you will keep eating. what's missing is a hormone signaling fullness in your brain. you fix it with semaglutide. the day after your first shot you're totally fine eating 1500 calories and you don't starve
You framed it as a willpower and honesty issue. It's been possible to lose weight before those drugs hit the market in 2022. I do have an appointment three months from now where I'll explore appetite suppressing drugs. I just wanted to get a head start today and not fully absolve myself of responsibility. Ozempic isn't my first choice on account of the highly prevalent and miserable side effects. Granted, they seem to go away a few weeks after the injection. If a person has no self control they might regain the weight once treatment is ceased.
That's an interesting suggestion. I should make the accountability buddy inside my head instead of trying to find one outside of myself? I was inspired by twelve step sponsors, as they sometimes serve as accountability buddies. I guess Goggins will have to be my sponsor since Goku eats more than Michael Phelps with the munchies. Goku could be a good gym buddy.
I'm not overweight but not obese, so this shouldn't be a gargantuan task for me. Sadly it kinda is.
I remember when they said the same thing about amphetamine
If you were honest with yourself this post wouldn't exist. An honest person does not need to beg a complete stranger to keep them accountable to a fricking diet. A person being honest with themselves is accountable to themselves. You aren't honest with yourself. You're weak, you lie to yourself by doing things you promised yourself you wouldn't. If you can't be honest with yourself, how will you be honest with a stranger? We aren't there with you afterall, so there's no accountability.
You have to do this yourself. You have to say no when you think about doing things you said you wouldn't. You have to be honest with yourself
If I were honest with myself I wouldn't be 30 pounds overweight? Some of you are very stupid.
No. If you were honest with yourself you'd be able to hold yourself accountable without the need for anyone else. Lash out all you want, that's reality.
And if you weren't human trash you wouldn't spew moronic shit in an attempt to denigrate people under the guise of advice.
Watch videos of David Goggins and motivational speech dragon ball AMVs. Imagine David Goggins and Goku crying and being disappointed that you can't even stop eating for a single day. Go to a gym, not necessarily to burn calories (you lose weight by NOT eating, not by running or so) so you have a habit and focus on the guilt of these rando strangers seeing you not lose anything over time.
But yeah, you should be doing things for YOURSELF. Don't be dependent on others.
Calorie defecit leads to weight loss, that can be achieved through diet or exercise or both together. Most people fail when they only employ one method or the other.
Wegovy has shown that self control is a fallacy.
That's fricking stupid. What's with these sponsored ass posts?
what's with all these Luddites clinging to outdated mythological thinking when science has beyond a shadow of a doubt proved obesity has no relation to personal responsibility with a literal miracle cure
No, you're fricking moronic. Even a doctor who is as monomaniacal as you about Ozempic would have to acknowledge there's other interventions, including other drugs, and that the majority of people still have to control themselves. One group of people that need to exercise self control are people who have taken Ozempic in the past, unless your dumb ass thinks people are supposed to be perpetually on it or have their weight vacillate back and forth between fat and not.
Limit the amount of cash you can spend on food. Your bank app should have some limit settings, either specific to the type of shopping or a general daily limit. This way you won't be able to buy so much food that you'll overindulge, you'll be forced to eat simpler meals too because you won't be able to afford instant meals or 100 bags of potato chips. Make sure to eat a lot of eggs and vegetables for vitamins, and fill the rest with rice, bread. Absolutely make sure you can't afford carbonated sugar drinks. They're expensive AND bad for you.
What I did is, after I get my salary, I paid all the bills and that type of expenses, then transfered most of it to my savings account, leaving myself on a very small money limit. That way I had to consciously shop and calculate what I'll eat. It helped me adhere to a healthy diet.
Good advice. I already shifted into that mode of spending less. It seems to have halted the weight gain. Self control has become an issue but I will keep using numerous stategies, including going to the doctor, until I lose the excess weight.
Fattie here. The only thing that worked out for me was only eating one meal a day. I couldn't stick to any other diet plans, I'd always eat something extra in between my meals, but this one is working for me. I can't tell you it'll work for you, but it's worth a try.
t. down 4.5kg since the 1st of february
stop trying to eat less (since you obviously can't) and just get so much exercise that you stay in caloric deficit. I lift heavy shit for a living right now and I took my current job because I knew it would get me into shape. I used to be 300 lbs, now I'm 185 and I've still got a bit more to go.
lmao this is the worst advice one could possibly give
you literally can't "outrun" a bad diet, it's been proven in multiple studies
The eating whatever you want part is dubious but working a physically active job is great. Unfortunately most people can't or shouldn't just change their career paths for the sake of not being overweight.
