    Just curious, is your profile picture a recent picture of you?

    If so, what makes you think you need to lose 17 pounds? (I checked out your profile page)
    Last month. Well, honestly, I pay more attention to pant sizes rather than weight, because muscle weighs more than fat, and if I can muscle, and become thinner, it's possible to stay the same weight as before. But I assumed it was required so I put a weight that would be nice to have, Haha.

    How do you plan on gaining muscle when undereating?

    I won't even get too deep into the fact that a pound of anything weighs the same as a pound of something else.

    I'm not TRYING to undereat. I just don't get hungry often, and when I do, I eat what I can of what's available, and not on my list of foods not to eat.

    You cannot gain muscle if you are eating in a deficit.

    I know. But I don't have many resources food wise. And I can be picky when it comes to food.

    Then why did you say it. I am celiac, you learn to adjust. It really sounds like you just want to justify not eating properly to fuel your body.

    I am not being mean but I really think you need to talk to a professional.

    You can create a dozen accounts on here with the intention of getting healthy, but if they're full of excuses, what good are they? If you have all these limitations/excuses in your life, you might have to "crack a few eggs to make an omelet," so to speak. You should probably re-evaluate your priorities, and life, while you're at it.

    NO, just NO!

    They weigh exactly the same, one just takes up less space than the other.

    Pant sizes are the last possible thing you should use to gauge accurate weight, sizes and cut's vary from shop to shop and manufacturer to manufacturer, you'd be better off looking in a mirror and guessing.

    Your coming out with so many reason as to why you "can't" eat this or that that's it's obvious you just don't want to, if you really wanted to you would find a way round these issues.

    Also from what I know, you don't just "obtain" asthma if you weren't born with it, something triggered it, find out what that trigger is, something happend in the last year for it to be triggered.

    So, yeah. I'm out. I know you all think I'm making excuses and trying to justify certain things. But I really just wanted to know about the walking a certain amount of miles. I suddenly realized this site is full of people who want to put you down for not doing it right, and not knowing how, or being able to afford it. This is the reason I have zero motivation to do certain things. So thanks for the insight. I know now that this site is a horrible one when it comes to questions or motivation. :) Deleting account now. You may rant about me alllll you want. And to the people who ACTUALLY helped me without getting *****y: Thank you! Really helped.

    Awww. She left. I did notice in her parting post she blamed "this site" for her lack of motivation ... so an hour and a half of her posting history is to blame.

    If you'll excuse me I need to get ready to go to a BBQ and make sure I don't undereat by trying to adhere to vegan principles that were not researched or thought out as the OP admitted to.

    Hear that, everyone? MFP is why she has zero motivation. Well done.

    You know, I was just thinking this morning that I was missing HoneyLissaBee... This wasn't quite as good but it did scratch that itch. :laugh:

    Well that was a nice change. She will probably create another account tomorrow. I mean honestly more than half of her crap was bull****.

    Yup. Well, she is 18.. hopefully with time to learn before doing permanent damage, or at least no more than most of us. I still remember rice and black beans as my daily meal, and an apple being a special weekly treat! This has little to do with coin on hand, and much to do about wanting positive change.

    I was just thinking what a disappointment that the HoneyLissaBee threads got deleted. I was thinking of linking them here and providing a proper introduction.
