@ladyzherra thank you for your advice and book suggestions! Such a shame about the last book, thank you for warning others!

Do you have any booktips?

If the food you binge is food you have told yourself is off-limits, one way might be to tell yourself something along the lines of ”you can eat X, but not today”, and have a plan for when you do get to eat those foods (if you think you are able to do that, for some allowing a little bit is worse than trying to go cold…

I need to start doing this again! Why is it so much easier to stop doing things that are good for you than it is to stop doing things that don't help you in the long run?? Today is a pizza day, so I will be making the most delicious pizza ever. I don't know what I'm going to have on it (probably zucchini and onion as I…

Today the best thing I ate was the unhealthy food. I did eat a lot of good things today, which was healthy, but the best thing was actually the afternoon cup of tea and my favourite chocolate bar, enjoyed in the sunshine.

Today it was the potato wedges, aioli and carrotpatties dinner I ate while talking to a friend!

Today the best thing was the last of my peaches (will probably buy new tomorrow!), a perfectly ripe pear and an avocado on the right side of over ripe! It was my afternoon/before dinner snack as I settled down for another round of exam prep!

Today was a crappy day, with exams and not the best food that I don't even remember eating. So today the best thing I consumed was my evening cup of tea (that I'm still enjoying). I will probably have a piece of hard cheese with it too, before I get back to my studies.

Today it was the three peaches I ate after returning from my walk.

Today, the best thing I ate was a juicy orange when I came home from my sister's.

For me, the line crosses into obsession a day or two after I start logging my food. I don't know why, but probably some kind of psychological "fail-safe" where I rebel against it, in case it works. It has taken me a while to realise it (or, I have realised it before, that I tend to binge a day or two after starting…

I am bookmarking this thread to read again, it is so inspiring and just what I needed to read too. <3 to everyone.

I ended up also picking up a bag of tortilla chips; not the best from a weight-loss point of view, but far better macros than regular chips, a better ingredients list and, most importantly, I am easily satisfied with a handful or two of them! I have heard of and wanted to try roasted chickpeas for ever, but never gotten…

Such great advice! I am at the store right now and had forgotten to put popcorn on my list (and have also added pickles). Sadly allergic to peanuts, but might check out their other selection of nutbutters (have only tried one or two). Thanks for the suggestions and keep them coming!!

I just started and to make it esier for me while I figure it all out and find food combinations that hit my targets and makes me feel good, I am doing a basic 50% carbs, 25% fats and protein. I will adjust once I get the handle of it. I figure one step at a time and I find it easier to get to know the system first before I…

The dishes! I have a very small kitchen area with barely any counter space and if (ahem, when) it piles up, it gets harder to get through it because I have to do it in batches.

I so needed your post today. I make things harder on myself and often try to change so many things at once. Habits are difficult to change when they are mindless ones, so trying to change several at a time is hard work, with a lot of flailing (I refuse to see it as failings). What I try to remind myself of is that even if…

Fantastic! Thank you for sharing!!

Randomly. Sometimes I plan ahead to weigh in a few days apart but often only remember that I was supposed to have weighed in that day after breakfast. Perhaps I should have a better system for it - in which case a weekly weighin would be my preference.

I prefer water over milk, but that is mostly due to taste -- when I mix with milk it tastes far too sweet to me.

My main problem is the lack of a routine on weekends, like I'm sure it is for many others (even if it shows in different ways). Planning ahead is ideal; preparing and logging what you can in advance (I like to make snackbags to bring with me when I'm running errands, with nuts and fruit) and trying to focus on living your…

Bowing out from the rest of this month. Am off the grid without a food scale and while I have prepped the food I brought with me and I do a lot of walking (just going to the bathroom and back is at least 500 steps) so I am under my target calories, I am not able to track accurately or keep up with updating here. But I will…

Yes, yes and yes again.

Yes, yes and yes!

Wait, mix banana and avocado?? Why have I never tried this before??

I enjoy eating the same hot foods for lunch and dinner (that is to say, one food for lunch and another for dinner) but mostly when I'm at university all day and work afterwards, because it takes away the decision and planning - and I would not be happy if I had paid someone to help me with this and that's what I was told…

23rd of July Yes to all three; the exercise was walking. NSV: I think just a general feeling of being able to keep on going. I have added some weight to some of my lifts and I can walk up stairs without getting winded. I can walk faster without feeling pain in my calves (some kind of tension) and I'm not as exhausted after…

Forgot to update! Yes to all three; the exercise was at the gym. I almost gave up because for the first time it felt boooooring but I pushed through and even added some weight to some of my moves!!

My current goal weight is 65 kg, due to my height. It's not set by me, but a doctor for a procedure I want to do. Once that's done (if still needed) I will reassess. I have always been a bit on the heavier side of things; the majority of my adult life (and teenage life) I've spent in the low 80's. I think I would be very…

My back and left shoulder. Some days are good but most days are not (especially my shoulder) with intense pain to the point where I sometimes can't function properly (although that is also due to the fact that I often can't sleep due to the pain and the pain often travels up into my scull). I have a program from my…
