Welcome to our virtual third place, The Café.
Come on in and make a new human connection over a cup of coffee (or Teh Tarik). This is a casual community, do whatever you want, share your oyen pics, your frustrations, and even organize a weekend picnic with the community. The world is your oyster.
Rules are simple, be kind and civil with each other. As with any other café, rude patrons will be kicked out.

My parents always nudged me to exercise more while saying I can eat whatever I want. But do you guys think exercise or diet is more effective? Or it's a mix of both? Personally I think it's a mix of both, but sometimes I'd get fatter for no reason(even though I was still exercising) then I'd somehow get slimmer for no reason(I wasn't exercising during this period because I was exhausted from work). My diet was pretty much the same.
I really don't understand how my body works.
If the purpose just to lose weight, I would say go with dieting.
Do exercise when you wanna get in better shape. Saw too many people got demotivated to lose weight because they think they need to exercise and push yourself but I'm the end they feel like eating more because of it.
So I would say focus on the diet first. It's a process, it'll take time. Slow and steady also take care yourself too.
Oh dear... I never really thought of it that way. Must be what happened to me during my previous failures. 🤣 But right now I am saving money on food anyway, so it's much easier to control what I eat. I'm already avoiding excessive outside food by eating dinner at home unless I'm outside.
Back when I was still living with my parents as a student it was much harder to control my desire for food(sry dad mom for wasting your money).
Off to a good start already, cutting down on outside food and also processed food. The less processed it is, much better for you. Can eat food with high water content to make yourself feel more full too.
