A few months ago I took a semi-serious pledge not to buy new clothes until I hit my goal weight of 75kg. It proved to be impossible.
It wasn't until I quit sugar that I started to see a big difference. Holy cow!! Why did I wait so long to do this?

Ok, sorry, this was an inside joke ( sorry man!). I love sugar and I'm actually munching on a snickers as I type. Booyaaah!
Back to my story:
So it took me a loong time to get serious about diet and get it down but finally can say that I weight at 74.7 kg in the morning. Amazing!
Too bad it's bear and we're all broke.
But other than that! WOO HOO!
I think the mental shift in actually treating food like time-filler was a big step for me. Secondly, I decided to reward myself every other day with foods I missed. I would fast for 24hours and then get sushi. Fast again, then eat a burger and so on so forth.
But one of the biggest thing that helped was buying a kettlebell. I love those crazy cast iron bastards! They are relatively cheap - I paid about 40e for a 20kg one which comes at about one month of gym membership here, which I decided to pass on to play with this at home - and so so useful. You can do some very basic stuff or go do some cardio-intensive workouts that will leave you breathless...or...anything else.
Granted, they are not very good for hypertrophy but for losing fat and staying in shape, I think they are great.
All in all, it feels surprisingly nice to make progress, although I think, in the grand scheme of things, it doesn't matter at all.
But then wtf does anyway?

I'm happy to brag that I not only lost weight, but am really health oriented right now. I went through the Rina diet like a boss for about 2.5 months, which showed great results. From 99 to 84 kg.
Now for the past 3 weeks I'm on a keto diet and I completely dropped carbs and sugar. I eat a ton of fats and (green) veggies and feel amazing .
Hell, I even started sprouting brocolli . I see it as an investment in my long term health, which is what I care about the most.

Could have skipped that snickers and get to your goals faster.
I snack on Lindt 90% dark chocolate bars whenever I have any cravings.. Kinda work and you're not munching on that much carbs too!
