I will be found cold dead on the floor first before someone takes my chocolate, the drink at least, I don't care about bars or candy, but for me it is the equivalent of coffee, without it I don't function in the mornings

I have been working out for 5 months straight, but eating what I want. And I got fatter, which shouldn't surprise me, but it does. No more sweets!

I am also on a see-food diet and have found that I've trimmed fat. I've actually put on muscle weight.

Again, take a look into what you're doing. How long you've been exercising doesn't mean you're doing it "correct", per say. It just means you're showing up at the gym for a period of time. I showed up to the gym for 2 years and picked up weight, but I didn't actually start lifting until about a year ago when I started paying attention, refining workouts, and adjusting my diet a little bit. My adjustments were just to increase my protein intake, though. I still eat everything I want. But, if I eat garbage, I make sure I push myself the next day and I keep up on my cardio to off set.

Well, the thing is that everyone tells me I lost weight, but the scales aren't showing it. I just can't help but fear. I don't want to end up like the people who can't get out of bed, can't take a shower because their legs can't keep them upright. Can't even find clothes in their size. I want to live a good life, not just exist.

sometimes when you're on a diet, you lost a lot of weight yet youre bloating up. your body loses fat but stores water instead. I don't know if thats the case with you. either way, you should consult a physician

Trust me, you won't. You're already doing more than most by going to the gym and fixing it into your regular schedule. What it also sounds like is your physique is getting better. While you may not be losing weight, persay, your body is getting more "fit" and getting into shape by your regular exercise.

Keep doing what you're doing, make your minor adjustments, and continue to do research into your fitness. You'll get there.

Just for science, can you share with us your ratio of macro nutrients carbs/protein/fat/fiber?

And for carbs, can you specify the ratio sweets (sugar, chocolate, juices) to non-sweets (bread, rice, pasta)?

I would greatly thank you for enlightening me

I don't know. I don't pay attention to what I eat. Not only that, but I try to eat from all groups, I guess. But from tomorrow I will swear off sweets!

Day 1: 11:54 a.m.
12 hours. Almost... 12 hours. No chocolate. No sugar. Just bananas and normal filling food. I have a headache as if I haven't slept at all, but last night I slept from 9 p.m. to 5 a.m. So I did get my 8 hours of sleep, but that doesn't seem to help a lot. The withdrawal symptoms have begun.

On the plus side, I did 1 hour on my fitness bike. Yesterday I did 100 minutes on it, but at the end my left leg started to hurt, so I stopped. But as always, I didn't pace myself. I should have done like today: 30 minutes cycling/watching maiLab, 20 minutes break, rinse and repeat. I intend to cycle some more later.

For now, I will just read a little. Might work through the 7000 words Anki deck. I don't know. The headache is making me sleepy, but I can't sleep during the day anyway, so I will just read.

And I must admit that I thought about chocolate today, but I used a small trick. I placed the bread on top of the chocolate. So, to get the chocolate, I have to move the bread. That gives me time to think about what I want more: Chocolate, or a healthy life.

Happy writing, everyone!
