I appreciate you sharing your POV. I do, however, disagree that race equates to more compatibility in the relationship and that this is just “common sense”. I think the notion of ‘marrying your race is better’ is an assumption from earlier generations, and this assumption is being proven wrong the more interracial…

Oh wow! That’s good to know! I went to my appointment last Thursday, but might use this in the future. Great option!

Omg you’re right 🤦🏼‍♀️ I just mentally equated it to floz. I use floz for liquids and grams for solids.

This is really helpful! https://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/discussion/10012907/logging-accuracy-consistency-and-youre-probably-eating-more-than-you-think/p1

As the previous poster mentioned, use the usda specific options, it’s about as close as you’ll get without a label to base your measurements off of. oz= liquids grams=solids

I would measure everything in grams and avoid those entries. Where are you buying your chicken, is it packaged in anyway with a nutrition label? Do you have a scale?

😂

I’ve definitely changed my shape many times. I’ve had rolls and thighs that touched to my knees, and even looked curvy. To a thigh gap, and everyone was convinced I had “no hips”. Sure my skeletal shape is the same, but my body mass can certainly change shape. Symantecs isn’t it?

I’m happy to answer your questions. But first I want to say I’m sorry for your incredibly difficult situation growing up. No one should ever have to experience that, or have their relationship with food robbed of anything positive. I’m happy you have taken back control of your life through therapy, and I understand there…

Okay so something closer to a mini binge. Gotcha. A treat or treat day, for me, would be having a higher calorie food item, such as dessert, or possibly going out to dinner instead of making something at home in a controlled calorie setting. Tbh, I pretty much have a treat every single day. As long as it fits in my…

I see what you’re saying. If I added 6-10 hours of exercise a week, especially from lifting, hiking, and rock climbing, I would think I drastically improved as well, so congrats on that! Do you feel like this increased activity is making you hungrier? Do you find this new weight adds more energy and capabilities to do…

Just curious, what do you consider a treat? Because you stated you have a treat day and the next day you’re ravenous, and in another post you say “I just want to know why my body feels so starving when I've had so much to eat the day before lol!”. Just trying to understand your definition.

Oh, I’m sorry my experience wasn’t helpful to you at all. Glad you got some great advice here that is though! 🙌🏻

It’s such a relief to feel like yourself again, that’s awesome!

I remember very clearly the moment I accepted the science and let go. It was the first time in my life I didn’t feel broken and helpless. It was a major catalyst for many changes in my life.

So many of us have been where you are. I’ll tell you what helped me specifically. I had to let go of everything I thought I KNEW. All the myths and lies I clung to that made me a special snowflake. Like, that won’t work on me! My metabolism is different! Sugar, carbs, make me blow up! I can’t eat like everyone else!…

This is worth highlighting. Differences don’t necessarily makes things worse or create an incompatible relationship. Your situation, and mine, showed that the differences created a more well rounded and healthier life, for myself and for those around me. We are product of the lotus effect. To a certain extent, how can we…

Unfortunately you can spot reduce. Best way to lose fat in unwanted places is through weight loss and improving your overall shape with weight training. So there’s definitely hope, it’s just a matter of what we are willing to do, what are practical goals for our preferred lifestyle.

What are you doing that’s different than any other time you’ve dieted? Because I would expect the same outcome if your answer is that you’re doing everything the same. And I would also wonder why you would expect a different outcome than living the yo-yo diet life. I would change my process to reflect something I could do…

I’d love to try Acupuncture for all the things I don’t know is wrong with me. Not sure if people ever just go in and say that, but sometimes we get so used to feeling bad that that becomes our normal. So it would be nice to just say, I feel lethargic, foggy, low mood... what’s wrong with me? And them say, oh wow your…

Can you explain what you mean by this? How do you go over calories and still lose when cutting out simple carbs? Can you elaborate a little bit more?

WTH 🤢 I would love an explanation for that.

I love that you brought up hypnotherapy because it’s been something I’ve long considered, due to the subconscious nature of nightmares. Another thing that has been brought to my attention is acupuncture. I never would have considered that before, and turns out it is used for practically everything imaginable. I prefer…

Oh I just meant no ovulation week and period week or 2 to show the bazaar changes we see on the scale. Mine looks like a heart rate monitor lol. Nothing regarding his TDEE or anything. This is why I love Libra and Happy, those weight trends are peace of mind.

I don’t trust my tracker at all, for sleep patterns, exercise burn, anything like that. I quit wearing it when I deeply felt that way. But before when I wore it, knowing it wasn’t accurate, it still helped me mentally push to reach goals, and for that alone I think they’re great tools. For my poor sleep, my husband bought…

Oh to be a man lol. Loved your post and graph btw! Thank you for being consistent and sharing with us. Knowledge is power!

Just wow. I can only imagine how many lives have been impacted by something completely out of their control. And in the 90’s there was even less room for work support and compassion, especially for women. Most of the time we were just happy to be a part of the team and constantly trying to prove ourselves above and beyond.…

It’s funny this was brought up as I’ve recently been watching again... it’s been quite awhile since I have. I always have questions that run through my mind as the show airs, and it would be nice to spring board some of those thoughts and questions here. One thought that comes to mind are the enablers. I know at the end of…

Thanks for clarifying, I just didn’t want to state something you didn’t ask my opinion on 😊 Okay so I had to google images and the consensus from the images are yes. I don’t think you have much left though. I’ll use this picture as an example, she didn’t look bad before but it shows how it has minimized quite a bit, so it…

What I think of when I look at a person with the shape is- tbh, literally nothing. I guess I don’t assess the persons shape when I look at them unless it’s either extreme one way or another to where I notice. Are you asking if we think you have saddlebags? Btw glad you’re comfortable with your shape! It’s refreshing to…
