Experience of the initial phase of the record-based weight loss method: lose weight easily without dieting

Drinking beer won't make you fat. The reason you get fat is because you eat a lot of greasy food while drinking beer. Something that should only be a small taste is eaten in excess.

I'm not a big drinker, but at gatherings, when there are many people and the atmosphere is lively, I still eat a lot of food. Everyone always uses beer to fill their stomachs first, then stuffs in greasy food; it's no wonder they get fat.

So, do you understand now? Abnormal obesity is caused by long-term "abnormally obese behavior." Constantly creating opportunities for obesity will naturally lead to continued weight gain.

People like me who are "abnormally obese" have been consistently engaging in "abnormally obese behavior."

However, I didn't realize this at the time. I always felt that compared to thinner people, there were other reasons for my obesity.

“I’m more prone to obesity than the average person. Since it’s a constitution issue, there’s nothing I can do.”

“Maybe I have an undiscovered obesity gene.”

“Perhaps my digestive enzymes are different from others. Aren’t all the winners of competitive eating contests skinny?”

“Trying to resist the urge to eat creates stress. Because I’m predisposed to obesity, I have to force myself to resist cravings my whole life—that’s so stupid!”

“We eat about the same amount of food, yet some people are obese while others are thin. Just because I’m predisposed to obesity, I have to force myself to endure it—how unfair!”

“My work is very demanding and stressful, so naturally I’m obese. Obesity is proof of work commitment. Because I have an unstable freelance job, the stress is greater than average, so there’s even less I can do.”

Repeating these reasons and excuses in my mind, I imagine many men suffering from obesity are thinking the same thing.

Even so, seeing my physical strength declining year by year, I still want to do something. Compared to previous years, I'm noticeably more prone to catching colds, and recovery takes much longer. If losing weight could restore my health and energy, that would be wonderful.

It seems the only solution is to lose weight!

Thinking about it is one thing, but I haven't been able to actually do it. I'll try to slightly control my food intake when the mood strikes, but I'll revert to my old habits after a few days. This has happened several times. That's how I felt when I first started my "run-up" journey.

However, back then, I never dreamed that simply keeping a record would lead to weight loss; I was just diligently recording what I ate each day. At that time, I wasn't thinking, "I want to lose weight," but rather, I was simply wondering, "Why am I so fat?" and wanted to know the answer.

After diligently keeping a record for two weeks, one day, as I was thinking, "This is so troublesome," and silently entering what I had eaten into a computer document called "Food Record," something happened.

While recording, I felt hungry, ate some crispy rice crackers, drank some soda, and then continued writing. Suddenly realizing, "Oh no, that was close! I almost forgot to write down the soda and rice crackers!" I hurriedly jotted them down.
