Losing weight can be a challenging task, but with the right mindset and a consistent effort, it is possible to achieve your weight loss goals quickly. The key to losing weight fast is to create a calorie deficit, which means burning more calories than you take in. Here are some tips to help you lose weight fast:
1. Start with a realistic goal: Set a specific, measurable and achievable goal for yourself, such as losing 10 pounds in a month. Be realistic about how much weight you can lose in a short period of time. Remember that losing weight too quickly can be unhealthy and difficult to maintain.
2. Create a calorie deficit: To lose weight, you need to burn more calories than you take in. Create a calorie deficit by reducing your daily calorie intake and increasing your physical activity. A safe and sustainable rate of weight loss is 1-2 pounds per week. This means that you need to create a calorie deficit of 500-1000 calories per day.
3. Cut out processed foods: Processed foods are high in calories and low in nutrients. They can cause weight gain, so it's best to cut them out of your diet. Instead, opt for whole foods like fruits, vegetables, and lean proteins. Whole foods are more filling and provide your body with the nutrients it needs to function properly.
4. Drink water: Drinking water can help you feel full, so you'll eat less. It can also boost your metabolism, which can help you burn more calories. Aim for at least eight glasses of water a day. Avoid sugary drinks like soda, juice, and sports drinks. These drinks are high in calories and can lead to weight gain.
5. Exercise: Exercise is an essential part of weight loss. It not only burns calories but also helps to build muscle, which can boost your metabolism. Aim for at least 30 minutes of exercise a day. Find an exercise that you enjoy and make it part of your daily routine. This can be anything from walking, jogging, cycling, swimming, or weightlifting.
6. Get enough sleep: Sleep is crucial for weight loss. When you're tired, your body produces more cortisol, a hormone that can lead to weight gain. Aim for at least seven hours of sleep a night. A good night's sleep can also help to reduce cravings for sugary or fatty foods.
7. Stay consistent: Losing weight quickly requires consistency in your diet and exercise routine. Stick to your plan and don't give up when progress is slow. Losing weight is a journey and it may take time to see results. But by staying consistent, you'll be more likely to reach your weight loss goals.
8. Make a Plan and Track your progress: Make a plan that includes your daily calorie intake and physical activity. This will help you to stay on track and make adjustments as needed. Also, track your progress by weighing yourself regularly and taking measurements. This will help you to see how far you've come and keep you motivated.
9. Do Intermittent fasting: Intermittent fasting is an eating pattern that alternates between periods of eating and fasting. This can be an effective way to create a calorie deficit and lose weight quickly. It has been shown to boost metabolism and promote weight loss.
10. Consider taking help from supplements: There are many weight loss supplements available in the market, but it is always important to consult with a healthcare professional before taking any supplement. Some supplements can help to boost metabolism, suppress appetite, and burn fat.
Remember, losing weight fast is not always the best approach, as it can be hard to maintain in the long-term. Additionally, it is always important to consult with a healthcare professional before

Looking back: 2025 was a beast
It's difficult to know how to start this. I've suggested that it's been a tough one from my title and in many ways, it has; however, there is an argument that it's not been that extraordinary at all, merely this wonderful thing we call "life" with all its climaxes and pitfalls.

THE NATURE OF ABUSE
The nature of abuse is fundamentally defined by an imbalance of power and control, where one seeks dominance to achieve obedience within the powerless state of another. The path to restorative peace, emancipation, and freedom must reside within the state of truth. To become a catalyst of change one must force the mask to drop for transparency and accountability to emerge. The façade or persona others may project to the world, often conceals their core real true-self. True character is often revealed within moments of critical crisis, where someone who has experienced grave injustice, torture, ridicule, resistance to help, or silencing is forced to walk without assistance. Within moments of despair one enters into the ascended state of revelation, awakening, and enlightenment of the true self. One must acutely address and recognize where policy, legislation, legal frameworks, leadership, or lack of compassionate care or empathy may not be apparent. What resides or lies beneath, will always emerge to the surface within time, especially when another’s superficial mask drops. What is often revealed is the performative façade is no longer evident. Within the critical moments of relationships, genuine intent is demonstrated by compassion, understanding, support, and a willingness to set aside personal selfish interests for the common good of all. Unfortunately, within the realms of cruelty or manipulative intent, there can be a stark contrast to the reality initially being presented prior by the abuser, as the charm inevitably fades. Survivors of abuse can identify a change in character when loss of control is evident. Within the moments of absence, indifference, apathy, or silence, abusers are often challenged in the sense, that they must confront what they have inevitably become. Abusers are often publicly caught in a lie that they cannot explain away. A turning point emerges for a victim of abuse, when there is a shocking devastating realization that the person they confided in, was engaging in a performance act. This knowledge can be a catalyst for a victim to begin their healing journey and leave an abusive relationship, as it provides certainty, that their instincts and moral judgement were correct all along.
