I have no idea of what soccer is . But if we ' re talking about football , I belive that Milan Lakers is very accurate , lots of titles in the past decades , but not winning anything in the last few years . <| sep |> That ' s too much logic for the general public <| sep |> The whistleblower get ' s ganged up on <| sep |> Yes , it ' s a melon . Don ' t you distinguish between different types of melons ? That would be like calling a blackberry berry <| sep |> To go from 8 to 5 XL you must have already made some great progress . That shows a great effort and strength that you should be proud of ! It ' s even better that you ' re still working on yourself , and that you ' re working so hard to lose weight . You ' re on a journey already , where you take your life back , and make a new life you want to live . There are really two aspects of weight loss Mental Health and Physical Health . As you travel along your journey , you MUST consider both factors . Your body and brain must BOTH be in line to succeed . You can sum this up in two things you need to learn Learn to make better health choices eat less , move more Learn about yourself , and your relationship with food Why have you got here , and how can you fix that ? What does this look like in practice ? ### Better Health ChoicesWell , if you check out the links the auto moderator has provided you with , you will be a long way along the journey to making better health choices . Weight loss simply comes down to eating less energy than you need to keep living . When you eat less energy than you need , your body uses up the fat it has stored , and weight loss begins . You can supplement this with exercise to burn more calories of energy , if you choose . Most people eat between 1 k and 500 calories less than they need a day , resulting in 12 lbs lost per week . Many people eat around 700500 calories less than they need 1 k can be extreme , and difficult to sustain . Most people track their daily food intake , and the calories from that food , in an app like MyFitnessPal . This helps them keep track . Many people perform some form of exercise to give themselves a leg up , but exercise isn ' t necessary . Many people swap out high sugar foods and reduce but don ' t exclude their fat intake , and eat more filling foods like protein and vegetables so they don ' t feel hunger Many people still enjoy their favorite foods , by working them into the diet plan of their new healthy lifestyle . It may be tempting to go for gold , and cut your calories drastically to achieve a quick result . Please try not to do this unless it ' s absolutely necessary such quick fat loss can cause health complications . You should aim for long term sustainability both happy and healthy . Food is not your enemy . ### Better Mental HealthI think this is something that is touched regularly on but not always directly addressed . We all got to this stage through some unhealthy thinking patterns ! We have to root out those thinking patterns and destroy them . Obesity and mental illness coincide . Anxiety , depression and Eating Disorders are rife . If it ' s an option for you , please discuss it with your doctor , and consider a therapist . When you find yourself making poor health choices , take some time to understand why . Learning lessons from our mistakes can turn a bad day into a victory maybe you will learn more about your habits , and what is causing you to over eat . Take some time to study your motivations and fears . Understand what is holding you back , and what you stand to gain as you move forward . Make note of every victory . Doesn ' t matter if it ' s a number on the scale , a better choice made , a compliment . Every success should be celebrated , even tiny ridiculous ones . Get all the support you can . This community is a great place to come for support ! If someone else cooks for you , get them on board too . Consider keeping a journal to discuss how you feel . If you find yourself feeling negative , it ' s a good thing to look into why that is and work out what to do about it . Good luck in your journey
