            <description>I've made a decision: no more traveling until I reach 130 kg. Every time I travel, I gain weight. It's always the same pattern — eating out, no control over what's on the plate, the &quot;I'm on vacation&quot; excuse. And then I come home, spend weeks losing what I gained, and end up exactly where I...</description>

            <description>Three and a half kilos in three and a half weeks. That's the number I'm sitting on right now, and it makes me happy. The funny part: I can't really explain it. Because when I sat down to work out what I'm actually doing differently, it only slowly dawned on me that I'd simply stopped eating...</description>

            <description>I watched a Casey Neistat video that wouldn't let me go. In it he celebrates his two-year mark — 730 days in a row of running, not one missed. His minimum: two miles. His average: over seven. One time the streak nearly got him. New York, flight to London, layover, on to Cape Town — where in that...</description>

            <description>This morning, 205.5 kg on the scale. At home, naked, fasted. Later at the nutritionist's office: 208.4 — with clothes and shoes on. About three kilos difference. She was pleased. Keep it up. I wasn't quite. Because a few days ago I was already at 203.2. At home, on the same scale. Three kilos...</description>

            <description>I have been seeing a nutritionist regularly since April 2022. Every few weeks. Sometimes every six weeks, sometimes every two months. Always the same scale, always the same conditions. These are the only numbers I trust. I weigh myself at home too. But those numbers fluctuate depending on the...</description>

            <description>Recently at friends' place. We were grilling. Pork neck, chops, Berner sausages — the ones stuffed with cheese and wrapped in bacon. Everything sat there and you could help yourself. And it was damn good. So I helped myself. And again. And again. I knew I was full. At some point something...</description>

            <description>I have been treated psychiatrically. Psychosis. That's not a secret and not a cry for help, but the reason this topic interests me. When you've been in psychiatric care yourself, at some point you ask: What does it actually look like elsewhere? Are people here better or worse off than in the...</description>

            <description>I have listened to this book several times now – as a German audiobook – and for me it is one of the most powerful things I have ever read about trauma. I did not come across it through a direct recommendation, but rather indirectly: a friend of mine, who is a psychologist herself, told me about...</description>

            <description>In short: Aspartame is considered safe by the EFSA within the acceptable daily intake (40 mg/kg body weight) — an 85 kg person would need to drink about 7 liters of diet soda per day to exceed that. The WHO classifies it as &quot;possibly carcinogenic,&quot; but the evidence is weak with no proven...</description>

But it showed me that already before and when I went to my nutrionist I didn't lose a single gram. Very strange. Now I am drinking a lot - also recommended when one...</description>
