I seem to only be able to lose weight when the magical "switch" that I can't control turns on. I seem to only be able to lose weight when the magical "switch" that I can't control turns on.

Anyone know what I'm talking about?

It's like unpredictable, but one day you may wake up and your brain just decides "this is it. you're gonna lose the weight"

and suddenly it's easy to stick to everything.

It's so weird how this happens only years apart for most people. In between, it's nothing but struggle. But a flip suddenly switches on.

It may last a year, maybe even 5. If you're lucky.

I dont know what causes it.

Then, when that feeling is gone, it feels impossible to get back on track like your brain just hates you and has decided you're gonna keep eating.

I know people say "discipline!" but damn its hard.
