Wednesday QOTD: PIZZA!!!!!! It's a weakness for sure!

Monday's QOTD: Since this is day one and we are 1/2 old members and 1/2 new, let's take this as our chance to introduce ourselves!

Hello, my name is Megan. I am 25 years old from Ontario Canada. I have a wonderful 2 year son, and the best boyfriend I could ever ask for. I am currently in University studying to get my Bachelors in Psychology and then hope to get my Masters afterwards. I enjoy photography, music, video games, poetry, movies and reading in my spare time. And of course spending time with my little family is first and foremost.

My weight issues started in college. The weight slowly kept creeping up on me even though nothing had changed. I worked out incredibly hard ate what I thought was healthy and could not lose weight no matter how hard I tried. Then I got pregnant. At about the 4 month mark I was having gal bladder attacks everyday. The stress and pain it was putting on me had me almost lose my baby on a few occasions. I was put on bed rest and the weight kept going up and up and up and up. I had my son 4 weeks early, at that point I gained almost 50 pounds. Afterwards I followed a 1400 calorie diet plan ate incredibly healthy because I was breastfeeding, exercised everyday and no weight loss not one pound only weight gain, about 30 pounds in a year to be exact.

At my one year check up with my OBGYN he informed me he thought I had Poly Cystic Ovarian Syndrome. Something I had discussed with my family doctor prior and he informed me that was very unlikely given I had gotten pregnant relatively easy. But the symptoms added up. And after a Ultrasound and some blood work it was confirmed. I was then able to lose some weight but soon after my gal bladder attacks came full throttle. The pain was so bad it dropped me to my knees, I had never felt anything so painful and scary. The weight loss stalled at that point I was in pain almost everyday anywhere from 8-20 hours with these attacks. I ate legumes tons of them since they were supposed to dissolve gal stones. And of course my weight went up yet again. I was told I had to get my gal bladder taken out but that was not an option. I searched for a natural cure and found a cleanse. It worked amazing. Now I still get attacks here and there. And they are still incredibly painful, but they are a far cry from everyday. I eat a very low carb diet about 50-100gmas a day. And though it is looked down upon it is the only way I can lose weight while having PCOS. A lot of the food I should eat because I have PCOS I can`t eat because my gal bladder and vice versa. It`s a never ending battle. But I`m tired of looking and feeling like crap. Enough is enough and I just do my best day in and out. And I really don't care what I had to give up anymore. Because nothing makes me happier then finally being happy in my own skin.

Wednesday's QOTD: What is the one unhealthy food that you could never and I mean never ever!!!!!! give up in a million years????

I can't pick just one. But I could live off of cheese, ice cream, iced caps, nutella and potatoes.

Wednesday's QOTD: What is the one unhealthy food that you could never and I mean never ever!!!!!! give up in a million years????

To be honest I don't think that there is any food that i wouldn't be able to give up. When I try to answer nothing comes to mind.

Wednesday's QOTD: What is the one unhealthy food that you could never and i mean never ever!!!!!! give up in a million years????

Hard question for me. I love peanut butter chocolate combos as I already stated, but I've mostly given that up. And I love, love enchiladas, tacos, etc. (south Texas girl here), but I've given up most of that too except for the occasional splurge. Hmm.... maybe tortilla chips and salsa. If I'm near it, I can't say no.

Wednesday's QOTD

I would have to say the worst is probably McDonald's...usually a Big Mac. That may just be my answer because that's what I've been craving for the past few weeks, but that's what I would have to go with. The only problem is, the longer I'm "good", the more my stomach hurts after finally caving and having McD's, and then I wonder why I can't let go, lol.

Wednesday's QOTD: What is the one unhealthy food that you could never and I mean never ever!!!!!! give up in a million years????

Mcdonalds french fries. They scream my name.

Wednesday's QOTD: What is the one unhealthy food that you could never and i mean never ever!!!!!! give up in a million years????

Pepperoni pizza. I cut back and only have it once a month or so, but I love it and won't give it up. The low fat, low cal versions don't cut it either. Has to be hot and gooey, not low fat cheese that doesn't melt correctly.

Thursday QOTD: Okay ladies, this ties in with Wednesday's QOTD. Most of us have foods we are not willing to give up or feel sad about having to give up. What have you found as a healthy replacement for your favorite unhealthy foods?

I love peanut butter and chocolate combinations! Usually chocolate and peanut butter combos are found in candies and ice cream. As a replacement I make chocolate & peanut butter oatmeal! I use 3/4 cup of dark chocolate almond milk for 1/2 cup of plain oatmeal, then after it's hot and ready I mix in a tablespoon of reduced fat peanut butter~ only 335 calories and very filling!!!! or 240 calories w/o the peanut butter!!!! I love it!

Wednesday's QOTD: What is the one unhealthy food that you could never and i mean never ever!!!!!! give up in a million years????
Ummm.... chocolate, plain and simple ..... No way I could give up chocolate it would break my heart :brokenheart:

Wed QOTD: What is the one unhealthy food that you could never and i mean never ever!!!!!! give up in a million years????

This is a toughy for me because I feel like I've done a pretty good job of cutting out most "unhealthy" foods from my diet... However, I love dark chocolate.When I think "I want something sweet" it's usually chocolate that my instints are referring to, so to remedy this I usually keep either Hershey's Special Dark Chocolate with Almonds (individual nuggets are about 45 cals each) and/or Dark Chocolate Kisses (20 calories each). When I want something sweet I just pop one or two of those and it usually satisfies my craving.

Tuesday QOTD:
My profile pic is just a recent pic of myself. I'll have to get with the "theme" of things and find a different one .... not from work though LOL

Thursday QOTD -- What have you found as a healthy replacement for your favorite unhealthy foods?

I have gone from greasy (and delicious) butter-n-salt-soaked popcorn to air popped popcorn, sprayed with a lil' bit of Kernel Seasons butter spray and sprinkled with a lil' bit KS nacho cheese. I haven't tried the other flavors but that one isn't too shabby.

Welcome to the red team Kim!!!

Wed QOTD-ahaha oh man i actually LOVE so many foods, i feel like the only one i don't like is anchovies lol. Hmmm i think i'd have to say soft serve ice cream!!! i love pasta and pizza but you can usually do a lower fat variety....even a MINI blizzard or Mcd hot fudge sundae is at least 340-400+ cals so it's really hard to work it in!!! but i freaking love soft serve! especially the twisty cones half chocolate half vanilla
