I’ve put away the scale and stopped weighing myself because it’s not a good way of measuring my success. My fear has been that I’ll gain weight if I didn’t weigh myself regularly. I’ve come to term that it’s time to let go and start living in a state of flow.
The reason why it’s such a struggle to lose weight is because of internal conflicts such as “I want to eat that cake, but I know it’s not healthy” or “I want to exercise, but I don’t really feel like it”. I need to re-connect with what I really DO want and live in the now and stop procrastinating.
I’m making a lifestyle-makeover by massively purging my possessions to regain clarity and refocusing on total well-being.

I lost two pounds (0,9kg) and finally reached a new low on the scale. I think I got my eating under control. I’m not dependent on eating a variety of foods as I wrote two weeks ago, but it does definitely get easier if I do.

This is working very well. Eating a variety of foods at dinner time is a major help! I don’t go for an extra meal before bedtime as I usually do. I don’t overeat and I don’t crave junk food either.

I’m adding another experiment, eating fruits and nuts for lunch. No cravings so far. But if I get hungry after that I just grab something to eat. I’m feeling good!:)

For breakfast I had the left-over from yesterday. I wasn’t hungry for lunch until 1pm. The only not-so-good thing was that I had to wash a lot of dishes!

I thought I would try Thai eating style. Eating different variety of food may help stop cravings since it has different kind of taste and texture. It’s just my theory 
I feel satisfied after this and didn’t overeat.

I love The Diet Survivor’s Handbook! It’s written by Judith...
“It doesn’t matter if you go running every morning, or you’re a regular at the gym. If you spend most of the rest of the day sitting — in your car, your office chair, on your sofa at home — you are putting yourself at increased risk of obesity, diabetes, heart disease, a variety of cancers and an early death. In other words, irrespective of whether you exercise vigorously, sitting for long periods is bad for you.” – The NY times
I’m sedentary most of the time, but when I started standing most of my day my body is working better and my weight doesn’t creep up!
I got rid of the computer desk, and use the drawer instead. It works perfect, cables are hidden and I got some extra storage.

The more stuff you have, the more space you’ll need, and it takes time and energy to clean and de-clutter.
I don’t like to collect things, but I’ve never throw them away either. It’s hard to throw away everything at once, but I find it easy when doing it gradually. I’ve throw away some kitchen appliances and clothes. I don’t need, for example, different kind of cutting boards, plates, glasses, or saucepans. Some electronic kitchen appliances are unnecessary, they’re taking up space, not easy to clean, and not easy to get them out from the cabinet because there’s too much stuff in there.
I keep those that I use regularly. Next, I’m planning to get rid of furniture, TV, and game consoles. Now it’s going to be easy to clean my home when there is nothing to organize or put away. No need to dust off something or de-clutter all the time. I prefer to do things I love rather than spending my time cleaning and looking for my stuff
