Hey @allasyummyfood! Awesome post!

If you don't mind, I would like to share with you my story regarding this subject.

I think it was four or five years ago when i've decided to lose weigth. At the time I weighted around 103 kg and it felt aweful, honestly. I always loved food and cooking, and I still do, but some things have changed since then. On my journey to be healthier I've reduced a lot on the amount of calories ingested per day, and found out that not eating at night made a huge diference over all. For few years after that, by only focusing myself only on diet, I was able to reduce my weight to 91kg. No more! I wasn't able to reduce more than that since I wasn't working out. That was due to my studies in the multimedia field, consuming all of my time for the last few years of my life.

At the start of this year I read somewhere that eating refined sugar can make you brain numb, and so I tried to stop eating sugar for a week. After that I had the news that my brother got diabetes type 2, leading me to look at sugar with disgust. These events gave me another perspective on food and health in general.

Today I can't say I'm vegan but I think I'm getting close to it. Not to lose weight or anything but because I feel like eating healthy. You can say I'm on a diet but I don't feel that way, truly. I've started to walk everywhere I need to go to save money and that, together with the way I eat, made a huge impact on my life.

This morning I picked up my scale and found out that my current weight is now 82.8kg. I never weighted so little since I was 16 (I'm 1.83m tall). The funny thing is that I am losing weight every day, even if it's just a little bit, without making an effort. But you know, this was due to my circumstances and the mindset I've got after that huge emotional rollercoaster.

Anyway, again, awesome post!
Keep it up and good luck on your journey!
