any ideas for other things that could brighten my day?

didnt mean to do that soz

do you drink alot of softdrinks?

Creative hobbies, maybe?

Maybe something where you can use the knowledge you acquired in your job

if you cut that out and even swap to cordial youll drop kgs

thats what i did

I dont drink a lot of soft drinks

Did you say you were only 22 years old?

I mean, what motivates you all?

ye, 22

you know what though, it doesnt really matter. i have a beautiful wife and a rather shit job (im studying) if you make God your focus everything else will fall into place.

Then you will eventually get a better job

I am motivated by God and things lI like to make

I wish church wasn't so far away 😦

To create beauty

And actually i just had honestlyt the most beautiful baby girl two weeks ago

I am Orthodox, so the nearest church is quite far away

I wish I could go more often

Do you have access to machinery in your job?

yes, but not really for personal use

ouch

Can you play a sport?

that really helped me

it gave me something physical to enjoy and work at being good at

I *can*, sure

Shid sorry, I got sidetracked

@Orthodox Andy what you're about to hear will seem very counter-intuitive and even dangerous

but bear with me till the end

To lose weight you have to do this one simple thing - don't eat.

It's that simple

Fasting is the best way to drop weight - body fat specifically - in the shortest period of time. The only drawback is that it's very difficult.

The only reason you feel like shit when you haven't eaten is because you're losing electrolytes - sodium and potassium specifically. You can recover those by drinking salty water which will not break your fast. 1 teaspoon of potassium salt and pink himalayan salt in 1 to 2 liters of water per day is enough to make you feel good.

(It doesn't taste bad)

Anyway, go ahead with your objections

"Several people are typing"

amazing

that might be a good plan if you didnt really do anthing else. if you dedicate to a sport the training will help you drop weight.

If you want something softer, the fast can consist in, instead of completely removing meals, replacing them with protein shakes, which really fill you and have a really low caloric content

hahaha Ironclad i know that method works
