Calories counting game

Know me long enough, you already know I have an annual retro of weight loss wave. The biggest problem with me being, I'm a lier. Not only I lie to other, I also oftenly lie to myself 🤣 it's ok, only 2 bar of chocolate waffle. And after that 2 bars, I will go for another 2 bar, telling myself I will just have to eat less on my dinner. And by dinner, I've totally forgotten what I've promised myself, went all out with fried chicken 🤣 and as always, I will be very careful on my breakfast. Before I recall I'm in a weight loss journey, I already convinced myself I can lose all the weight after I'm dead, because dead people doesn't eat. Have you seen a far vampire? 🤣

Ideally, I should make my short term plan even shorter. Because the month plan now seems like bouncing around. I did managed to lose some weight before lunar new year, but I put them all back within a week. I've ended January with extra 2kg of weight instead of losing 600gm 😂 after some painstaking 2 weeks coming to the mid of February, finally I managed to bring it down a little. I have another slightly more than 2 weeks before the end of February, I need to lose 1.0kg, and should be weighing in March at 74.8kg.

Looking at the speed I've lost from 78 down to 75.8 in two weeks, theoretically I can do the same for the next two weeks, but what choice does it leave me except suffering? So, here's the calories counting game comes in handy. 1 pound of fat equivalent to 3500 calories. If I were to lose two pound in 2 weeks, that will be 7000 calories deficit. If I divide it into 14 days, that's 500 calories a day I need to delete from my menu.

Frankly told myself, it's really not that hard to delete 500 from my daily food intake. possible remove ⅜ of my portion on each meal, and I'm down 500 calories a day. But one thing for sure, my aftermeal snacking, midnight snacking probably play an even bigger role in keeping me fat. Because that's where I put back all that 500 calories (and probably a little bit extra)

So, that leave me 1 thing to do. Other than lowering my food volume by ⅜, I need to sleep early. That will also make me rest more, burn more, and eat less unless I sleep walking to my kitchen. May be I can get wife to tie me up after I fell asleep.

From now on, I will have even less daily photograph to share when I eat less. And will be a lot more boring because food I'm about to take, is probably going to be my long term lifestyle. I need to find healthy food that I love to eat, so I don't have to struggle for the diet. Sustainable is the key. And the next big thing being, may be sell off some of the car, gotta change from driving to taking public transport to work. May be change job. I don't know, but those are in my mind right now.
