Finally overcoming having "chronic flat *kitten*"

I eat anything I want as long as it's in my calories, but I've come to find that I like eating healthier options because then I get a better fill because they generally have less calories! I know we hear this all the time but it's about finding a balance. If you find you did really well one day and you have the leftover…

I just agreed with you?

Yep! That must be it!

Awesome advice! Thank you! I think part of it does stem from the fact I've only been here 2 and a half months.

Thank you. I didn't mean everyone had terrible intentions. Things happen and people do things unintentionally. All I simply was asking for advice when these situations arise and what polite responses were. I didn't think it would result in getting bashed for being self centered and jealous but hey I guess that's the risk…

Love it! Can relate in every aspect on your response!

Awesome! I get that about being young. I'm only 22, and yeah I get the same thing. Or they don't understand why I'm not the first one to hop up for happy hour.

You're right, I've always been hypersensitive about people making comments about what I'm eating or not eating. Stems from years of an eating disorder so that's probably where MOST of it stems from. But I swear if I get one more comment about my rabbit food I think I'm going to lose it haha.

Okay, let me set the record straight. I don't think anyone is jealous of me, and you're not helping by making that assumption. I'm simply trying to get some feedback, because people are constantly making comments about my "rabbit food" and how I don't eat enough. So they ARE scrutinizing it, even if it's not in a negative…

But they are literally telling me I should be doing the opposite from what I am, I would NEVER say that to them because they might be making lesser choices than I am. Good for them, they don't need to lose. I don't know why a department of 70 people would be consistently making the same "conversation topic"

Love this! Thank you! Such a helpful reply! Never thought about it this way!

It's such a mental battle but everytime I feel like I'm getting to that point, I take a deep breath and start pinning things about getting in shape on pinterest, look at fitness accounts on instagram, and read through fitness tweets on twitter and usually I can find my why. Why I'm doing this and what my goals look like.…

I've been losing on an average of 2-3 pounds a week for 2 months. I didn't really get my period the first month and I think that had something to do with the shock of how much exercise I was doing. But I have it this week and the scale is jumped up about4 pounds. So very frustrating after busting my *kitten* in the gym and…

Main things I've noticed in my first two months 1) My shoes got smaller. 2) My entire day revolves around my workout and my meals. 3) I sleep a lot better 4) I drink more water in a day than I used to in about 2 weeks. 5) I literally can't shut up about fitness and eating right, it's become a total obsession. 6) Some days…

If you get into a really good habit and set out exercise as an appointment with yourself, you'll be surprised how easy it is to make it a part of your everyday. I actually have more trouble taking rest days than I do getting to the gym now!

But it's okay to do that now and again! As long as it's not a weekly thing, usually you should be okay! Everyday doesn't have to be perfect. I usually like to go for a long run or workout for an extra hour during the day before drinking so I don't have that guilty lingering feeling.

I used to be REALLY BAD about this. My biggest thing that helped was not eating 3 large meals a day, but rather eating 5-6 smaller meals a day. Same amount of calories, but it kind of feels like I'm snacking throughout the day so I have lost that feeling of boredom. And if I do feel like extra snacking, I always ask myself…

Hi Jessica- I'm 22 and have been overweight since a very young age. I have been fighting through fitness programs my entire life but nothing ever seemed to stick. But using myfitnesspal, finding your "why", and holding yourself accountable will be forever one of the greatest decisions you will make. I started out at 236…

I tried this. I'm pretty young and frankly, it was impossible. My plan for dealing is at the beginning of the month I look at my social calendar, and plan out which nights I know aren't going to be aligned with my goals, plan my workouts and my diet more detailed around that, and just enjoy the night. In terms of binge…
