Why Most Diets Fail: The Real Struggles of Weight Loss and How a Practical Meal Plan Can Change Everything

So, one day you woke up and found yourself like this:

The "fat" friend in the group😞:

Your self-esteem is lowered.
Your confidence is shattered.
You no longer can wear what you want because of how most clothes make you look.
You have maybe experienced people body-shaming you.
Your kids are calling you fat.
Everyone has suddenly become a nutritionist and fitness expert, giving you random and unsolicited advice about how to lose weight: "If I were you, I wouldn't be eating that/like that. You know breakfast is bad for you. I can't believe you still eat wheat, I thought you were trying to lose weight?!" etc, etc
Your doctor has given you one of those "If you don't work on your weight...da da da," threats. (I know they're not threats 😅, but they do sound like it).
You've started feeling like your weight is hurting your relationship, or you have started noticing the subtle disdain and dissatisfaction from your spouse — sorry if this is happening.
And if you're single, you're:

So you decided that it's time you got serious.
That it's time you "Got your body back" or "Fixed your health" for this or that reason — any of these sound familiar?
And for a while, your weight loss journey looked something like this:

You were avoiding the "hard" things, such as dieting and exercising because you feared being forced to starve, to avoid your favourite snacks and those wheat products you eat like there's no tomorrow, and needing to force your body to exercise hard even when sore, tired or not in the mood.
But, eventually, you found yourself needing to do either of the above if you were to make real change.
Some of you ran to exercising (HIIT and Morning Tabata! Hehe), or the gym. While many of you ran to dieting, following any piece of advice or diet trend, IF, keto, batting and all that, that you have been coming across online.
And we have had all kinds of experiences with that...

You eventually settled for dieting because the idea of working out is just tiring, even mentally, and you feel like it would be nice if you could lose weight without needing to work out too hard, or at all.
But dieting has had its own troubles.
When dieting, you have been introduced to extreme diets that, deep down, you know are not practical or sustainable, but you have to try because "You have to be disciplined" or because the fear of being told, "Wewe you're just not serious," pushes you.
You have tried and tried, sometimes making progress only to mess it all up in the evening or the weekend...

The next morning after you fail, or on Monday after you said you would start "On Monday," you wake up, trying to get back on track, and it all just feels like:

The diet isn't enjoyable, uses ingredients that are hard to find, and the discomfort you experience when you get hunger pangs, nausea, consistent headaches, and body weakness that you're told are normal or "Part of the process" make you hate it more and more without realising it.
Then comes this all-too-familiar trend:

And "tomorrow" turns into "Next week" or the popular "On Monday."
"For a fresh start."That too, turns into "I'll start my diet Next month.""I'll start next month" becomes, "It's already the holidays, let me start after Christmas, when there are no distractions."
This then becomes, "I will start my weight loss in the new year," and starting in the new year becomes, "When the kids go back to school."And so on and so forth.
The unending cycle.
In these periods where you're actively postponing your progress and your dream body and health, you comfort yourself by telling yourself that it's okay to go back to your old ways, back to one of the loves of your life, FOOD...

...because, "I'm just eating these for now, hata ziishe (to just get rid of them), then Monday I start afresh!... So it's okay."
Well...
The struggle is real, as they say.
