I just went in to work to help clean the place for four hours... which involved me scrubbing and scraping down all of their heavily greased up cooking equipment. It was not fun, though my right arm certainly got a huge workout. To compensate I was going to go downtown and get some bubbletea after I was done. I told my boyfriend I'm making bubbletea my reward for life.
I DIDN'T GET IT THOUGH, and now I think it's too late
There's always tomorrow

I have been busy this week with work and after work activities that I haven't been able to keep up with this thread. Today I had my gall bladder out (currently in the recovery room) and figured now was as good as time as any to get caught up as i am reading posts from monday morning.0

Hope all is ok. And that someone sneaks you some decent food!

Agreed.

Yesterday was Mother's Day and I ate however much of whatever I wanted to eat. My lovely children made chicken alfredo baked ziti with steamed broccoli and Brazilian cheese puffs. I had two helpings and two slices of hummingbird cake (not in one sitting). All of that, I did not work out, and I did not feel the least bit of remorse.
I Love Hummingbird cake. I have 2 of their cook books. I make a damn good Grasshopper Pie!
I have never heard of Hummingbird Cake and never tried Grasshopper pie. I have to make a note to google and try these.

in for brownies. And ice cream?
We could make brownie sundaes.... (They need a drooling emoji)
With any luck I'll be having one of those within the next couple of days... heading to the US tomorrow.
Hurray for America! Haha
Hurray for a greater variety of "junk food" Actually, I'm supposed to be saving money because the house needs reshingling, so it's a good thing I'm looking forward to low-price spending.AgentOrangeJuice wrote: »all this talk about DQ, I'm taking a trip to the mall to buy a new board game and DQ is right around the corner from the store I'll be at.

I may compensate for your absence over the next few days...
Where are you traveling from?
Northern Ontario. Heading to the Minneapolis area.0 -

Not judging, because I think that happens to a lot of people - however, that is scary, and I think a mental health professional could really help you with this. It seems anxiety driven, like you are afraid to get big again. Getting some help could really turn this around for you.
I actually am terrified to get big again. I can barely enjoy food. The logical part of my brain that is telling me that I need to fuel my runs (I have a half marathon this weekend), but the hysterical part of my brain is outshouting it.
It sucks and it's exhausting. I'm so tired of worrying about food and that's all I do.pofoster21 wrote: »krissyreminisce wrote: »Confession: I've recently developed a rather disordered way of viewing food.

My God you do look amazing...In your before/after. Just figure out what maintenance is and watch it every day. If you see some gains then you restrict for a day or two and get back. Maintenance is the key, not continuous loss. You sure don't look like you want to lose any more weight.
Thank you, and logically I don't. I'm trying to eat at maintenance, but I can't get over the habit of leaving a safe deficit at the end of every day.
I thought I'd be excited to finally be able to eat more than 1200 calories (which I learned after the fact that I probably could have done with losing .5lbs a week, but I found the forums too late) but I'm just afraid.

Uuugh. Cheesecake? Dang it! Of all weaknesses..... I dare not post photos of this awesome red velvet cream cheese crinkle cookies recipe. I've been trying to resist making it again. (last time was not long after christmas)
If it's any consolation, that's keto cheesecake, which means it's only 400 calories for 1/4 of a cake (granted 325 of them are fat)
Unlike mine, full of it all, that's pretty nice... I'll work it in. Riding 18'ish miles to work and back means I am usually way under anyways. Point me in the right direction?0 -

I am not a fan of the cilantro. The chicken and steak seasoning is great though. With that said, I haven't visited them myself in close to a decade. lol (my employer has catered from them a few times)

I don't like cilantro either which is why I get plain rice for my order.0 -
My two cents are for you to get in and talk to someone who can help you get past the hysterical part of your brain. Choose someone with the right kind of training/background and who you like. I've talked to counselors a few times in my life when I needed "tuning up" so to speak. I've actually not hired or gone back to a few because I thought they were looney so do choose carefully....but the right person can really help you understand yourself and why you feel this way and help you to find the right tools so that with practice you won't feel this way.krissyreminisce wrote: »berlynnwall wrote: »krissyreminisce wrote: »Confession: I've recently developed a rather disordered way of viewing food.

Also (still my two cents and I am never insulted if my advice is not taken because who am I to advise?) But consider you have done a phenominal job of losing weight. You own that skill! Now take that skill and dedication and knowledge and use it the other way. Try to gain 2 to 5 pounds in the next year - 12 months. Break it down into the calories that you need to do so. Try for about 1/4 lb a month. If you gain a little more you certainly have the skills to get back on track. You can trust in your skill and knowledge and all these very friendly people on this thread to stand with you and encourage you. My suggestion is to set your goal to gain 0.5 lbs per month and leave a small deficit. This will either keep you at the weight you are or give a very slight and possibly healthy weight gain. I'm rooting for you and good luck on that 1/2 marathon!!

I am genuinely pissed off at how small a serving of this is:
I would eat three times as much before. I am not satisfied at all.

I got a little too excited after I found out that I can get them here in Germany and refused to look at the nutrition info. After I did I never ate them again. Honey mustard is my favorite though!0 -
This weekend I'll be attending a three day long workshop about racism and asexuality in a cute little house in the middle of nowhere. Unfortunately the food there is amazing and there is always plenty to choose from. I confess that I probably won't be logging everything I'll eat in the next three days and are prepared to see a couple of more pounds on the scale when I get back. Even though I know that the weekend will be great (because I never had a bad weekend there) my anxiety is up the roof. Out of the 50 people in this workshop I only know three of them. I'm horrible when it comes to being around strangers. What's even worse is that I have no clue who I'll be sharing a room with for the next two nights.0
