  • first: don’t stress it, sustainable weight loss is slow everything else will end up with you regaining the weight when you stop with whatever hyped up diet or hardcore sports program you tried.

    find an activity, that burns calories that you enjoy doing, and do it because it’s fun. try new things when something is not fun.

    identify a high calorie source that you can somewhat easily eliminate, for many people that’s sugary drinks (including fruit juice).

    get yourself to step on a scale every morning. weight is on a downwards trend week to week? you are on the right track. keep doing what you are doing.

    weight goes up sometimes? don’t worry that happens we are running a marathon here. if it keeps increasing you’ll either can do more activities that burn calories or find another calorie source you can cut back on.

    It might also help, to either eat slower, because “being not hungry” has a delay or drink a glass of water before every meal, so you’ll feel full faster.

    and always remember, this is not a sprint, sometimes you’ll gain weight, that does not mean you failed, you don’t start back at zero.

    i am probably not the best example, as i never finished my degree, but studiying is the one thing where pomodoro timers were actual helpful for me, but nothing was better than having a small group of people to study with.

    Working on problems together on a whiteboard was almost magical, because so much stayed in my brain without totaly draining my batteries.

    other than that keeping things fresh and fun is important, to this day i’ll draw pictures on my notes when going through them, emphasize stuff by putting it in speech bubbles or write stupid stuff in foot notes.

    i also sometimes experiment with different note taking techniques, but it’s mostly bullet points.
