Losing fat
I've been trying for MONTHS but I always over eat some kind of sugary or oily junk food during my calorie deficit and I hate it I can stay consistent but I'm too impatient and expect results in like 3 weeks or else I overthink and wonder if there are hidden calories in what I eat so I'm not losing fat I really really want a slim muscular bod but man I'm so bad at this, I want to lose 10-15 kgs/20-30 pounds but I lose the water weight, lose motivation, gain the water weight back, get motivation, lose water weight again and the cycle continues I get so lazy and weightlifting is just not it for me.. What should I do?
i feel like so many replies here r bound to give you a rlly bad relationship with food, and it already sounds like you're on the brink of that which is awful.
So this is some less diet-first advice. Consider bulking for a bit. Having more muscle means you will naturally burn through more calories even without working out.

instead of restricting yourself, try to eat healthier dessert options to satisfy the craving for sweets. cutting off certain things all at once will just make everything harder for you (i love sweet things too) yogurt with toppings, pudding sweetened with an alternative to sugar etc etc. just google deficit friendly desserts. try to stay active by ...... 1 reply
As someone who has lost 12 kgs in three months, just stop eating junk. You can have a healthy balance diet in a deficit with sweet treats and fried foods but I wouldn't recommend that in the beginning of your journey when you can't control yourself and don't understand the concept of moderation. Bulk eat low calorie foods until you get sick of them...... reply
Walking, fr just walk. Im normally a homeboy who doesn't move at all so I had gained alot of pounds in vacation. But when I got back in school I just walked everywhere I need to go as long as I can and if I don't need to go there at a specific time, so I lost alot of the fat I gained. Don't forget to drink a lot of water too and eat well. Don't sta...... reply
Usually, over eating (or excess of anything) is a symptom of a deeper problem/anxiety/stress. People tend to avoid the root of the problem and distract themselves with food, drink, drugs etc, because that's easier or more convenient than mindfully sitting with the uncomfortable emotions that are generated by those personal problems.
