1 cup plain Greek yoghurt
Half lemon
Curry powder
Low sodium Salt
ususally I mix it with chicken and leave it overnight in refrigerator, (not in freezer) and it tastes great upon baking or shallow frying.

Lately I have realized that I have a distorted body image. Nothing serious like body dysmorphia, but that I don't recognize how obese I truly am. For example:
Recently, I have been noticing how straight and narrow my hips are and have been quite pleased about it. I carry almost zero excess weight on my hips and outer thighs (inner thighs are huge). But I used to have a curvy shape, so I couldn't understand how my hips could have become so narrow with such a straight body shape. Finally, I am realizing that my hips have NOT shrunk. No, my mid-section has become so large that it extends out beyond my hip line, giving my body this straight up and down appearance.
Also, I would look at myself in the bathroom mirror and think about how nice my face was looking since I have lost 30 pounds. But last week I took a couple selfies, which I rarely do. I was a bit shocked to see this large double chin, and very puffy cheeks and jowls. Stunned, really as that is not how I see myself.
How does this happen? Convincing myself that I am not as obese as I truly am, that I am close to looking 'normal'. Very odd how our brain plays tricks on us. I always thought this happened to people reaching normal weight, that they would continue to see themselves as fat. It never occurred to me that the opposite could be true, that a person wouldn't see how obese they really are. Coming to grips with the extent of my obesity is an eye opener.
It made me realize my expectations are skewed. I am 5 pounds away from moving from Class 3 Obese into Class 2 Obese (229 pounds), at which point I thought that I would almost be looking decent. So now I am looking towards reaching Class 1 Obese (209 pounds) before seeing significant changes in my appearance. That is another 25 pounds away.
I have lost 30 pounds since February and realizing that I need to lose another 25 pounds to see some significant changes is a tad unsettling. It has also made me question my entire thoughts about what my 'normal' weight should be. I am large-boned and always convinced myself that I am the rare exception who falls outside the upper weight range for ‘normal’ weight. I will have to ponder that one further.
Well, I best get to work taking off those next 25 pounds! Onward and downward!
I can totally relate to that. Few days back I was shocked to see my pictures. I was looking much wider than expected.0 -

I don’t do marinades often, but lemon, garlic and salt is a simple low calorie one I’ve used in the past.
I’m more likely to do a spice or herb rub with olive oil or butter. It provides flavour with few added calories, no sugar. Pick the flavours you like - could be Italian herbs like oregano/thyme/basil/marjoram, or paprika, or something more exotic (to me) like sumac, or a premade herb mix (one I used to use was an Australian bush mix) that seems interesting.

This first week of September did not go as planned. I didn’t meet my goals. But tomorrow begins week 2 and I am ready. I am setting my goals and I am going to check in daily to keep myself accountable.
Week 2 goals
1. Log all food and close my diary even if it is ugly
2. Keep myself well hydrated . My dieticians recommends 9 glasses of fluids a day. This can include water, tea, coffee but not sugary drinks. I want to meet this daily.
3. Minimum of 20 minutes of activity a day.
4. I am stealing this one from @Beka3695. Make a reasonable bedtime. Be asleep by 11pm.

Happy Sunday everyone! Some people are expressing their struggles and some are keeping them within. This is a good place to sound off so let's here what you really want to say.
Mine is why the *kitten* did I sign up to 200 miles of cycling when I am clearly and moving liability. Things will get better, I will not give in and will achieve my goal.
