When I was around my early thirties I lost a shit load of weight and still thought I was too big.
I had the sense of mind to realise it was all in my head but I could see how easy it would be to slip into that madness.

I'm trying to lose weight at the minute, and skipping multiple meals unintentionally (I wake up late on weekends, and often won't eat lunch)
Add that to the fact I've stopped snacking between meals, and I'm losing a fair chunk of weight, but I've still got a long way to go.

Yes, I know this isn't a very good way of doing it, but it's working for me.

depressingly
research is now showing that skipping a meal a day is much more effective at weightloss than the gym.

the problem is that it is impossible to maintain long term, so it all rushes back on!

I'll be joining the gym at the end of Jan, when my finances are a little clearer

Yeah! short term starvation just messes with your metabolism and you pile it on again when you go back to eating normally.
