    I took the "eat a cookie" approach for a year or two and even with staying around 1500 calories a day and NOT adding in the calories awarded to me by working out (which I recently found out was bad and will stop doing that) I couldn't lose a darn thing. But I've increased my activity/working out. Trust, the cookies will be added back in at some point LOL. And seriously.... 2-4 cups of broccoli a day is enough! :P

    Do you weigh your food on a food scale?

    I do weigh my food and use measuring cups and even adjust recipes when I make something and change it up

    “Around” 1500 calories was 1300-1700 depending on the day. And generally the lower the calories, the more activity because it meant I was still hoofing concrete well past dinner time.

    My life is more predictable now. I think that’s helping .

    I lost my appetite once. I was walking around with a burst appendix.

    That would be an exception to the rule. Same as a stomach flu or food poisoning, yeah those are definitely days where hitting 500 would be nice.
