@peleroja everyone on here agrees that you look super great in the pink one. With that in mind I think you need to find the mirror that you were looking in when you decided you looked bad and throw it away. It is a lying liar and deserves to be tossed into the trash for its behavior.

I'm not vegetarian, but I'm really picky about animal treatment so the meat I buy is crazy expensive and tends to be used as a flavoring agent rather than a central component in my cooking (i.e 4 oz in a stirfry that makes four portions). I'm usually around 60g of protein (24 of which is a protein shake). What's your best veggie protein advice?
I'm not vegetarian either but I eat weird. If I was to identify as anything, it would be pescetarian, so I eat a LOT of fish, cheese and eggs. I supplement with a protein shake daily and usually throw in a Greek yogurt snack somewhere along the way. I love black beans and kidney beans, but there's only so much chili a gal can eat.
As far as poultry and mammals go, I won't eat anything that reminds me of what it used to be when it was alive (this is the weird part, totally psychological). So small pieces of meat, like in soup or fried rice or stirfry things, will generally escape my attention and go down okay. Pork has been a no-go for me from a very young age, I can't deal with the texture. A dish made with ground beef is usually fine... the more processed and un-meat-like the meat is the better. However, I can't handle the stuff myself in meal prep or cooking it and then stomach eating it, so beef and chicken only work if the SO cooks them or in a restaurant meal. For this reason, I tend to do better with protein when the SO is home and doing the cooking... on my own, I'm very lucky if I hit my 90 gram daily goal. Fortunately, I don't get bored eating the same or similar meals day after day, as I'm not a happy or creative cook.0 -

Weight loss is tough for everyone...so taking medication(s) that cause a gain is definitely not going to make it any easier. That's tough! Have you gone to or considered therapy for your OCD? The way your Dr. described it makes it much easier to understand. Most people think being a germophobe and needing things clean means you're OCD...nope. Again, sorry! Sleep is so important to weight loss and just general well being (I struggle with sleep too) so it stinks that you can't get that part taken care of. I know for me, like today, I make very poor food choices when I'm low on sleep. I know you have a ton of other stuff keeping you busy...but is there any way to squeeze in a little time for food prep/using your scale? Like, dedicate one of your days off to just prepping a crap-ton of food for the week? I really don't know...just grabbing at straws(that's an expression, right?).
Good luck with your upcoming appointment...hopefully things can start looking up by then (no more bikes being stolen, problems with your SO, etc..) and you can show your Dr. that you have made some progress! Hang in there. We're all here...even just to listen when you need to vent.
Sorry that I'm horrible with advice and using my words.
I was thinking the same thing. There was that girl who posted about all the food prep she does back at the beginning like weighing our her cereal and stuff for the week. If I had the space I would completely do this.
Also I think words are needed with the SO about the food portions. He needs to understand you can't eat that much. If that's not a possibility (it took mine a significant amount of time to understand this) I know it is a waste of food and money, but throw or give it away. Or just be like "Phew I can't eat anymore, you have it" After you have eaten the correct portion size.
and also this@Italian_Buju I wish I had a magic wand. Take baby steps and we will cheer you on.
I do not always eat everything he gives me, or I would be about 600lbs by now I am sure! But it is a lot easier to overeat when you have a giant mountain of food in front of you. He cooks big in general too, I am always bitching at him about wasting rice because he will make rice for what looks like 40 people for four of us
I recently told him I needed to start weighing my food to have better blood sugar control because it will help me know exactly how much insulin to take. He seemed to buy that, but now I just have to get on the ball and weigh the food!
*I can't tell him it is for weigh control or even that the DR asked me to lose a bit of weight because then I will get a lecture on how North Americans think being fat is a crime and how terrible it is and on and on and on.....I have literally doubled in size in the years we have been together and he always just tells me it is fine.....and for the record, he is of normal size....now that we are a bit older he has a bit of a belly, but nothing out of the ordinary.
I can definitely sympathise with you on the bolded. Also there is nothing wrong with a little white lie when it comes to health. If it is a way to convince him to eat more sensibly it won't harm him.0 -

I am going to my mom's in Long Island and getting 2 long rides in to Montauk on my bike and at least one swim. My sister and her husband are visiting from Seattle too. I may cook Saturday if I can fit it in. Back at barn to work Sunday. Anyone have any fun things planned?
I'm doing a "Freedom 44 (Mile) Bike Ride" tomorrow morning. I'm sure we'll find some fireworks somewhere and probably have some kind of cookout with burgers, etc. on Saturday.

I logged food most days. I reached my goal weight in November 2013 and have been playing around with not logging to see if I can do it. (I made it from mid April to Mid June before I decided I needed to reign in the slowly creeping up weight and started logging again.) I weigh daily, record my weight weekly, and if I get more than 5 lbs over my lowest weight, I start paying closer attention to exactly what I'm eating. I'm hovering at about 4 lbs over where I want to be right now, so logging for now.
There have also been occasional days throughout when I just quick added a large number of calories because I knew I had blown it..
Amazing!!! You are an inspiration! I tend to hit my goal weight, then abandon all the tools that got me there in slow but inevitable fashion. That generally means weight creeping back on as I binge on pizza and ice cream. This time, I want to do it differently... I want to keep logging and paying attention until it's second nature and automatic.
Thanks! I am trying my best to keep a healthy weight. I think maintenance is harder than losing was!0 -

I'm sorry you endured that... but happy that the administrator figured things out before legal action was taken.
eta: It's no consolation, but my father was all set to ruin my future when I left their home at 17 -- figured I couldn't do any worse living on my own than with two alcoholics. The day I moved out, he threatened to take me to court and have me proved "mentally unfit" and returned to their home. Thankfully I realized that there wasn't a shred of evidence that would support his case... I was an honour student, worked part-time, never a brush with the law... so I figured he was bluffing (and he was).0 -
That is so fabulous! Congratulations!

This morning he tells me, "I love you mom because you're my best friend," does the CHEESIEST smile, then asked me for ice cream. I told him not for breakfast, he tells me, "You're fired, I don't want a mean best friend anymore".

Confession: I'm getting really tired of people giving me crap for "dieting" as though it somehow inconveniences THEM that I eat smaller portions if they make a calorie-heavy meal, or make "better" choices if we go out. This is a lifestyle change, not a temporary fix to drop a few pounds, peeps. I'm in this for the long haul, so getting in the habit of "cheating" because it makes them feel better isn't part of my game plan. Sorry, not sorry.
I have been gluten-free, egg-free and basically dairy-free for more than 20 years (long before it was known). I've been both given crap and had people bend over backwards to help. SO is great about it. When not with SO or at home I plan ahead and eat what is right for me to eat. I laugh right back at the people giving me crap. Yup, that's right, this is how I eat. Yes it is weird but I'm happy and healthy.
For most people it is just a way to make noise and for the socially inept it is a way they try to contribute to the conversation. It has never bothered me. I hope you get to that point. Yup, that's the way it is....(Big smile.)
Some people are always weird about what other people eat, diet or not. Some of them are even dangerous. I have food allergies and some people just refuse to believe it and will try to sneak things I'm allergic to into my food to prove that it is all in my head. Yes, that time my throat closed up was all in my head and I definitely didn't need medical attention to breathe. Thank you so much for helping me out there buddy.
E.T.A. Caught a spelling mistake.
Who does stuff like that? And the scary thing is I've heard this story from two other people before.0 -

Thanks, @ythannah. I think I need to investigate my Greek yogurt. I eat yogurt and granola for most breakfasts, but my brand has much lower protein counts than what is generally advertised for Greek yogurt - maybe that swap will help me get to the 80 grams I'm supposed to be hitting.0 -
Confession:
I haven't been swimming in nearly two weeks. My hips started hurting 2 or 3 weeks ago and swimming made it worse. So I decided to hold off until my hips stopped aching, but they haven't. Anytime I walk or am active for more than 20 minutes, my hips ache at the back. Sometimes the pain shoots down my leg.
I'm a bit worried that if this is pregnancy related (it seems an awful lot like pelvic girdle pain), then there go all my good plans of staying fit throughout. Especially as I am only just ending the first trimester - I have a long way to go! If it's not better in another 4 weeks (when I next see the midwife) I will ask for her advice. I did not expect sore bones this early on and it's getting me down a little, but then I feel guilty because this was super wanted and planned and I know some people would love to be in my place. But hip pain for the next 6.5 months does not fill me with joy. That's not what they show on the clear blue commercials!
Tl;dr - I haven't been swimming and I'm an ungrateful grump.
You're not going to like to hear this, but my hips KILLED me through my pregnancy. It was bad enough that I could hardly grocery shop - I had to hold onto the grocery cart (buggy) like a walker to make it through the store. I had to sleep on the couch because the bed hurt my hips too much. I wasn't exercising then, so I don't know if that would have made it better, worse or indifferent.0 -

Confession: My co-worker is eating an ear of corn at her desk as a snack. Her "CRUNCH" sound every time she takes a bite is driving me NUTS.
If anyone on here ever watched How I Met Your Mother, there's an hysterically funny episode where each character is told something annoying about themselves that they do. Lily's thing is that she chews so loud... and my co-worker is just like that.

Still trying to catch up, but totally want to share this (not sure I'd call it an NSV, but anyway...)
Last night my husband and I went to the gym. It was deadlift day for me and I had told him that I managed to knock out 225 pound deadlifts on my last deadlift day. So, I load up my deadlifts with 225 pounds and I notice that my husband is intently watching me. I knocked out my 225 pounds, five reps, totally nailed it. And my awesome husband literally gave me a standing ovation, in the middle of the gym! It seriously brought tears to my eyes. I him! 0 -

Last night my husband and I went to the gym. It was deadlift day for me and I had told me that I managed to knock out 225 pound deadlifts on my last deadlift day. So, I load up my deadlifts with 225 pounds and I notice that my husband is intently watching me. I knocked out my 225 pounds, five reps, totally nailed it. And my awesome husband literally gave me a standing ovation, in the middle of the gym! It seriously brought tears to my eyes. I him!
Aww! Awesome!0 -
Confession: My co-worker is eating an ear of corn at her desk as a snack. Her "CRUNCH" sound every time she takes a bite is driving me NUTS.
If anyone on here ever watched How I Met Your Mother, there's an hysterically funny episode where each character is told something annoying about themselves that they do. Lily's thing is that she chews so loud... and my co-worker is just like that.

Corn? At her desk? Really? Who even? WTH? I won't eat anything crunchy at my desk because I don't want to hear other people chewing either! The favor is not always returned. 0 -

I'm a little freaked out this week, I'm going in for a colonoscopy on Thursday. Fun prep day tomorrow.
No, I'm not old enough for it to be needed, but there is a TON of colon cancer in my family, so I'm being safe.
I missed commenting on a ton of things, but just know that I care deeply and I'm going to try to do a better job of keeping up even when I'm on the road.
I am way behind on all my checkups. I put myself on the back burner while my kid got treatment, so now I get to play catch up on all those check ups which probably needs to include a colonoscopy too. Lots of fun the rest of the year for me!
Oh yeah, fun times. Next up is a mammogram. And then, I get to start with the dentist. Ugh.
I'm behind on my dentist appointments (about a year and half since I last went). I actually don't mind going, I've never had a cavity so it's usually an OK experience, but for some reason I dread making the appointment. I think it's fear that at some point I'm likely to have a cavity and drills and needles in my mouth freak me out.
I just had my first cavity ever Going to have it filled on July 20th...so scared.
Bummer.... might I suggest laying off the Half Baked? *runs & hides*

Ok. I ate cherry cheesecake. But I had strawberries and blackberries with it, so that's good, right?
Also, date night tonight for early anniversary dinner. I will be way over calories today. Back to it tomorrow.
I am totally making cheesecake for the 4th of July bbq! So many reminders on this thread!0 -

I'm guilty of this, mind you I am not on the best terms with my co-workers so the amount of cares I have is zero... Lol
