"Better Work B****"

Yes, and it can be debilitating. A lot of good suggestions in this thread, I've found personally CBT and DBT are helpful, mindfullness, too. Most therapy options revolve around the same principles - reforming the way your mind thinks and forming more healthy thinking patterns.

That won't work for OP, she alternates working morning to evening, to overnights.

While not quite as extreme as your schedule, I work Mon-Thur 7:00-5:30. It can be really tough, because during the week if I didn't prepare, I simply don't have time for it. What helped me immensely is doing Sunday meal prep. You don't have to cook on Sunday, but whatever your day off, before your week starts again. Also…

I usually do overnight oats. But since I have been meal prepping, I sometimes just eat one of my extra "lunches" for breakfast, as long as it's under 300 cal.

Low carb =/= Paleo. It sounds like, like you indicated in your earlier post, that you're doing Keto. I'm not an expert on Keto diet/Ketosis (little extreme for me), but there's a lot of people on here who can point you in the right direction. Paleo involves more than low carb, it refers to eating less processed, unrefined…

There's a really good thread on that. Let's see if I can find it. :smile:

Hey there! I am not quite in the same boat as you, but I would be happy to lend some support! I'm just starting my second round on MFP, and really getting serious about losing this time. I log daily, and have an open dairy, you're welcome to add me :smile: As far as your issue, I am sorry to say that adjusting your…

1200 a week is typical for a sedentary woman who is trying to lose 2 lbs a week. Unfortunately, the 2lb a week goal is simply not realistic for someone losing less than 50 lbs... What I wish is that when you entered your goals, MFP advised/encouraged you to aim for 1-1.5 lb a week if you're losing less than 50 lbs. Eating…

I don't know about all the advice saying you'll get sick of their food ... I have worked in many restaurants whose food I really enjoyed, and honestly would still want to eat it all the time (ie chick fil a) because the menu was big enough, and let's face it - it's yummy! However, I will say working around food, depending…

Echoing a lot of other comments; I usually try to fit it into my calorie allowance. For the most part that means I just don't drink unless it's a cheat day, or I have worked out, because I struggle to stay under 1200 cals. Everyone's allowance and needs are different. I am trying to log everything now, even cheat days and…

Everyone has their reason to hit the gym, that's not a bad one ;)

I'm looking for more friends who post and reply to statuses, and have open diaries! I am always looking for new ideas, recipes and workout motivation. :D If you fit the bill, add me!

Not OP, but I can answer this one! Brussels Sprouts are actually my favorite, and there's sooo many great ways to cook them. The best ways I've found are parboiled, and then roasted in a cast iron pan with bacon or pancetta and lemon juice, roasted in the oven with EVOO and balsamic, or toasted in a honey mustard sauce and…

Ditto! It's helpful to see what coming in "under goal" means for different people, too. I know someone whose been on MFP for years, lost 50+ LBS and never opened up their diary. It's kinda frustrating!

I am curious, as a nutritionist, what your thoughts on people saying "a calorie is a calorie" etc are? Personally, I feel like calories from a plate of scrambled eggs for breakfast is going to fill me up/keep me full/give me energy better than say, a donut (yes, the donut argument lol).

I just started back up on MFP, logging daily, got a food scale etc .... On a 23 day streak, and I am trying to be more accountable and log EVERYTHING, even cheat days, or days when I just don't do great. My diary is open, as well.

Do you have premium? I noticed you have categories for "afternoon snacks", which is really nice!
