that would be me. I missed one or two days on my diary in the last week, but all the rest is logged, feel free to poke around in it, though keep in mind my diet is restrictive due to autoimmune disease, and i'm only in the last couple weeks slowly adding certain things back in (corn, eggs, soy, etc)

This is going to sound stereotypical, but it's true. I don't have motivation. I'm not on a diet. I eat the way I do because it makes me feel better. I treat my food like medicine for my body. When I eat crap, I feel like crap. I'd rather eat well and not take meds than eat poorly and be on them the rest of my life. Losing…

I have always been pretty regular and easy, though when I was on BC things got weird, even on the lowest dose I gained weight and was a sobbing mess half the time. Once I got off it, I didn't get another period for 10 months because my hormones were all pissed off at me. In the last few years my periods have become more…

I had a modifed brostrom gould with an arthroscopic debridement last may. Ankle surgery, that is, to repair a tendon, a ligament, and remove scar tissue. I dont recommend exercising at all the first few weeks. I dont know about your surgery, but i had to lay in bed with my ankle above my heart 23 hours a day with a…

Similar situation for me. First diagnosed with mixed connective tissue disease, but i've also had intermittent pancreatitis attacks since I was about 14. After several ER trips and no one even CHECKING my pancreas because I was too young for such nonesense, I just stopped seeing doctors all together when it happened, and…

I was just sitting and minding my own business one day, watching TED talks on netflix, and I saw a shame researcher named Brene Brown speak. Out of nowhere, I lost my freaking mind, and I bawled like a child pretty much the entire rest of the day. It was embarrassing and I had no idea what came over me. I have since…

Veggies/fruits/lean meats are about 90% of my diet so rely on my avocados and olive oil to keep my calories up above 900( well them and almond butter, yum!), i have both almost every day and average in the 1200s

Sound like communication needs to be the main focus. The first time I started losing weight, the first thing my husband said (unthinkingly) was how sad he'd be because we couldn't go out to restaurants he liked anymore. I got majorly bummed out and, then later, pissed off, because that sounded so freakishly selfish of him.…

Mine's open, log every day!

I'm technically 59lbs down from my heaviest ever (though that was nigh on 10 years ago) and I don't see overweight people as anything but people. Hell, I AM still overweight. Although my view might be skewed because i'm a massage therapist, so I see a lot of bodies, all day every day. They're just bodies to me. I'm more…

Late to the party, but my AI symptoms show themselves in two main groups. One, which I call the standards, are the things i've dealt with my entire life. Mostly, pain. Tendon pain, joint pain (my joints are not well put together, and tend to dislocate, especially when I was a kid). The pain can be induced by action (oh, I…

To be free of my autoimmune disease issues completely for a long enough time that I can't say it's a fluke or in my head. I've been off my meds for a year (not by choice) and definitely feeling extra miserable. I started a cleanse to re-evaluate food allergies 15 days ago and even though my food choices are pretty limited…

From a quick once-over on your diary the thing you seem to be going over on more often is sodium, so i'd look into that first. The first thing i'd do is drop my calories per day and see what happens. If that didn't work, i'd start playing around with my food, and cutting out erroneous calories or subbing in something of…

We're about the same stats, my food diary is open!
