It's the seventh

I glanced in the mirror and something seemed different in a good way.  Checked the scale, then ran the math, what the heck I've actually successfully brought my weight down to my target O_o
I'm honestly surprised...  I thought I was doing an awful job.  But maybe I was just more aware of being sedentary and overreating.  I didn't hike nearly as much as I planned, but it's working!

Also I finally got my sleep schedule back on track yesterday, I feel *so* much better now.
And my friend and I are going to start watching a certain equine tv show again, we have a lot of episodes to catch up on!
And I actually like tofu and black beans, mmm.
and I've mostly replaced beer with decaff hot teas, this stuff is delicious and so strong even I can smell it (BERRIES!)

For me, it's eating rice/bread/potatoes out of boredom.  While working a sedentary job.  If I was burning the carbs off (like when I was in high school) it'd be different.

What's overeating 0_o

You do realize that overeating isn't really bad unless you're actually eating >5000 calories a day or something.

Overeating is really bad and if you get to >5000 this kills the human D:
You can only get away with that if you plan on being a riot police officer or something and train near every day lol

Within a healthy, balanced diet, a man needs around 10,500kJ (2,500Kcal) a day to maintain his weight. For a woman, that figure is around 8,400kJ (2,000Kcal) a day.

These values can vary depending on age, metabolism and levels of physical activity, among other things.

Best way to deal with obesity is to never become obese in the first place

I knew a Doc who had a patient come in wondering how they got so fat because they were deathly afraid of food, eating only two slices of bread a day. The Doc was as confused too so he asked him if he drank any tea or coffee, to which he replied tea. The Doc asked him whether he had sugars or milk in his tea, to which he replied two sugars. The Doc asked him how much tea he drank a day, to which he replied 40 cups. This identified the issue very quickly

Another one, though I don't know this Doc at all had the same issue but with a guy who just ate loads and loads of satsumas. His line of thinking was that eating satsumas is good for you, so eating more = more good

Overeating will lead to being fat because it is overeating, by definition you are eating more than you use in physical activity so that excess will be stored as fat, sugary and fatty foods will get you faster yet there's not a food that if you overeat it you'll be good

Pls no one try sixty satsuma diet

No it's not

Fat isn't turned into fat :/
If you ate too much protein and/or fat, you would not get fatter but just be sick from it in other ways.
The only things turned into fat are sugars. Carbs have sugars. Thus carbs make you fat.
No, that doesn't mean carbs are bad. Sugars are also energy, so you need them. Remember, fat is stored energy. Fiber helps with the management of sugars turned into fat and sugars used as well.
