As the tittle suggests, I've officially lost 30lbs and could finally get into the jeans I'd been gifted several years ago. Even back then, I hadn't been able to fit into them so this def feels monumental. Can't close the buttons yet tho, I def have a long way to go for that but I want to feel a little proud of myself for coming this far.

I'm also currently on a diet break until the end of may. Not sure if this was the right decision but I was feeling an extreme diet fatigue and had been facing a plateu for 3-4 months now. In that time i only lost about 4 pounds which feels so much slower than what I had been losing before.

Since the week I started my diet break, I've been allowing myself to eat just about anything. I really think that's where the problem started. I allowed myself to indulge in things I'd been strictly restricting before, as it always had led to a binge eating cycle. And as a consequence, I've now eaten a pack of oreos, chocolate, loads of ice cream, pizza and pasta to name a few things in the last 3-4 days! I feel ashamed of myself and am scared I've def gained at least 1-2 pounds of fat in the process.

Should I just go back to dieting? I really had felt this maintenance break was needed for both my mental and physical health, but if I keep up with this behavior, I will undo weeks of progress.

Any advice will be helpful :)

Not sure if this is the right place to ask, but I've been studying quants for the last 2-3 weeks and have been facing alot of struggle in the application of any given concept.

I have a book which consist of about 200+ questions every topic and I've attempted 30-40 of them for 3 topics so far yet I keep forgetting how I was meant to solve many of the questions despite understanding them thoroughly at the time of practicing.

Even after putting 2hrs of dedicated practice in on almost a daily basis, I feel like I've barely made a dent in my syllabus which I'm meant to finish by October.

How to do I study Quants and make it even a little less miserable? I've done percentage, ratio and p&l so far. How should I go preparating from here onwards? I feel really slow when studying this subject and been though I've never been the best at maths, I've never struggled like this in all the years that I've been studying the subject. Why does calculus feel like a cake walk compared to this?

Any advice will be helpful :)

For the past month or so, I've been trying to build a routine to make myself study after school. I have too many subjects to manage and time management has been tricky. To add on to that, I've only ever studied a day before my exam for as long as I can remember so studying even a week before now feels baffling and overwhelming.

I've been practicing quantitative attitude for the past 2 weeks, covered around 30-40 questions for 3 topics so far while also managing other subjects. It feels really slow and honestly at this pace I'll get nowhere with my goal to finish the syllabus by October.

I feel like it takes a lot of time for me to understand the question, trying it on my own, calculating, getting it wrong and seeing the solution, then attempting it again. After 2 hrs of focused study, I've barely made a dent in the syllabus.

And then the next day, I've forgotten just about everything. I really don't understand it, I study a day before the exam and score well above the average but sitting down and actually focusing on studying is making me much more frustrated and embittered in my view of studying
