My weight loss journey: set backs

12 Feb 2024 5 minute read 3 comments Namae

Two weeks ago I lost 1,4kg. Last week I lost 0,3kg. Both times it came as a surprise to me. The first one of these two weeks my partner was staying here. He's not dieting or anything but he's still the one who cooks while visiting. He made a genuine...

My weight loss journey: violence

28 Jan 2024 3 minute read 1 comment Namae

Some random Sunday morning, some time ago, I was walking around a small park with my dog. She was smelling the trees and trying to scare some pigeons when an off leash dog came to greet us. My guess is that this other dog was maybe some kind of pit b...

My weight loss journey: being hungry

21 Jan 2024 4 minute read 1 comment Namae

Lunch time. A delicious smell finds its way through the house. I go to the kitchen and ask how longer it will take for lunch to be ready. "I'm really hungry!". "You're not hungry" was the common answer. "You just want to eat. Do you know the differen...

My weight loss journey: diet week 1

13 Jan 2024 2 minute read 2 comments Namae

As the prophecy foretold I've been on a diet for a week already. It's honestly been easier that I expected. Something I realized when I was preparing this diet myself was that when you eat low calories food you can actually eat SO MUCH. Like portions...

My weight loss journey: BARF

6 Jan 2024 3 minute read 1 comment Namae

I have a dog. I've had her for some time now. My uncle brought her as a present to me and as a way to keep me active. At this time I'd gotten ill because of my rapid weight gain, which is a different story.  The thing about my dog is that she likes t...

My weight loss journey: starting the diet

2 Jan 2024 1 minute read 1 comment Namae

Sorry I spoiled the content on the tittle but just naming this post "January's goals" didn't seem right, as the diet is planned to transcend this month and become an integral part of my life. So I made an hypocaloric diet myself. I've put some work,...

My weight loss journey: first month wrap-up

31 Dec 2023 1 minute read 1 comment Namae

It's been a whole month since my very first post, where I decided some goals that would help me build healthier habits that would serve me on the long run. I don't want to say the whole month has been a fiasco but... welp. It was, indeed, a fiasco. ...

My weight loss journey: week 3 - late update

25 Dec 2023 2 minute read 0 comments Namae

More than a week has come and passed since my last update and let me tell you it hasn't been exactly pretty. I fell with yet another cold - the third one in the last month and a half. The gist of this one is that it came just in time for the last wee...

My weight loss journey: week 2

16 Dec 2023 1 minute read 0 comments Namae

Another week has come and gone so it's time for me to do a little follow up on my monthly goals. My first goal was to add 0 chocolate to my shopping cart. As I said last week this wasn't as hard as I expected, mainly because I had a lot of chocolate...

My weight loss journey: end goal

13 Dec 2023 1 minute read 4 comments Namae

On previous posts I have talked about my monthly goals, which is the system I plan on following to organize (somehow) this endeavor but what really drives me is my end goal. There's a reason why I'm doing this, and I should never forget it: life qual...
