After doing everything BUT calorie counting, I finally gave in and it's working and feels easy

So this is probably not news to people in this subreddit, but I wanted to put it out there just in case.

I've been yoyoing with the same 10 ish lbs for the past few years. In 2021 I lost 10lbs in a couple of months (from 127 to 117) by calorie counting and walking. Then I stopped calorie counting and slowly gained it back over the course of the next year.

I've been "on a diet" since the beginning of 2023 but was really resistant to calorie counting. I did different types of fasting (OMAD, 16:8), just "trying to eat healthier", reducing portion sizes etc, and wasn't losing weight. Finally I gave in and started religiously calorie counting things and 2 amazing things happened.

First, I've been losing weight daily since I started calorie counting (5lbs down since feb). Second, I feel waaaay more full and satisfied.

I was losing when I did omad bit after 2 weeks of that I was burned out and thinking about binging like no other. Switched to calorie counting and now I'm satiated most of the time.

I have made sure I'm eating a lot of filling, high volume, high protein, low calorie foods (fruit, vegetables, protein pancakes, Greek yogurt, spray oil instead of normal oil, monk fruit instead of sugar etc) which helps a lot.
