How can I eat less food

I was actively gymming for the last 4-5 months, following diet (no sugar, oily, junk food initially and easing the restrictions subsequently) and managed to lose approximately 10 kg. Before starting weight loss I used to eat junk food almost daily with no exercise. However, recently I have been unable to go to the gym for the past 15-20 days, however, I try to bicycle at least an hour on holidays to cover up. I was recently out for a short work trip and gained some weight as I ate outside. This feels very bad and at times feels like my efforts to lose weight went in vain. Can anyone suggest what to do? Even if I eat outside for a few days, I end up gaining visibly (fat cheeks, fat on my belly etc.) Is there any solution to this?

TW: disordered eating I just completed a 2 day water + electrolyte fast. It was super hard for me as I look into food for comfort. It's like a hobby, really. The last couple of weeks were a total downfall, nutrition wise, so I decided to attempt an extended fast (I already do 16:8 on most days,) You really realise how much your lives revolve around food by doing this. I work from home and it's even hard to not eat when I'm not hungry or stressed or bored. You drink a lot of water. Heck, even after chugging 2 liters of water, my mouth was super dry. Might be because I eat a lot of carbs everyday and it was a rejection lol. That being said, I was focused, felt more active, and had a lot more time to do stuff. Would try it again. Fitness folks, what can I improve while doing such extended fasts? Any precautions to take? TIA! Anyway, I cannot wait to eat food tomorrow 🤤

I’ve always been an overweight person, lost around 10kgs last year post pandemic was consistent with gym , sleep , diet . Recently I’ve been missing a lot as i am prepping for MBA + doing extracurriculars for my resume. Seems all my weight is back as I am also a stress eater, extremely depressing and de motivating. Need help/ advice - thanks

I wanted to first post this in fitness then change my mind.... Disclaimer: I'm a foodie.. How to control hunger cravings... Especially this hunger calls when you want to lose weight... Some people say just eat it but in small portions... But I ain't work for me yo.. I'm not someone who gives in and then says I'm done.. I say I'm done only when it's fully done.. 😅 so any technique on how to control myself my temptation when I pass a friend chicken shop or these nae dropping pastries....

I am 26 now. And started my career in 2018 when i was 21, and from my first day till now I am doing a wfh. Initially it felt good as you get lots of personal time, no travel time and expenses. And then in covid while people where panicking switching to wfh, I was already adapt to it very well. But lately I have now started seeing some negative impacts of it. 1- Social life is at stake as I went to study outside my home town and almost lost all my connections here. 2- No personal interaction with people on higher position than you as that helps a lot in ones upbringing. 3- Following same life style for years and years. 4- Poor physical health and mental health being in a room for 8 hours of work, 8 hours of sleep and 2-4 hours more depending on other tasks. Adding to it now i feel it makes more sense having a office job which makes you feel more lively and a part of society.

Hello people, Monday it is. Welcome to the watercooler: the place for any conversations that feel a bit small to create a dedicated post. Manager acting weird today? Ended up being really late to a meeting and got bad looks? Need show recommendations? This is probably the place for it. Look forward to hearing from you all :) - The Unpaid Intern (I am actually paid though)

I'm working from Home from past 8 years out of my 14 YOE. we don't have an ODC or seats allocated thus no option to goto office. During the initial days, I felt blessed about this WFH and lately it impacts my work life balance. I binge eating and binge watch tv shows when there's no priority work. I feel I don't have any motivation to learn anything and also feel disconnected whenever I meet another techie. How do you all cope with WFH? Thank you 🙏

I am an engineer and have been working remotely since the pandemic started. Initially, it was great as I could save time by not commuting to office but now I feel like I am missing out on something. I don't know what it is but I just feel like I need to be in an office environment to thrive. Maybe it's the social aspect or the structure of having set hours, but whatever it is, I can't seem to find the same level of motivation when working from home. Anyone else feeling this way? Any tips on how to make remote work more productive and enjoyable?
