I just budget for it. Check my diary lol. I can't live without chocolate and cookies and and cake and ice cream. I eat more than I should- I stay within my goals but I need more healthy food.

Read brain over binge. Your triggers will always exist- however never forget that you don't have to follow through with what your emotional brain wants. Same way you'd want to bash someone's face in if they pissed you off...a coworker a spouse...you wouldn't do it. Look at binging that way. Finding a replacement for…

Opened

Oh i know- at first, when i started to buckle down and diet last year, I would eat LOTS of broccoli and cauliflower. Almond milk. But my god. Filling? Very. Worked? like a charm. But my stomach cannot handle it. Cramps and bloating and ugh. the only thing that is filling and low calorie that i can handle is an apple.…

Well, I freaked out because i have been stuck at 136 to 139 for about 3 weeks, and about 3 days ago i stepped on the scale and saw 141. I was like WTF. No. just. No. Then after my run i weighed back down to 139. On my room mate's scale I was 139 that morning. So idk. Im almost 5'4, my measurements are okay. I'm about a…

I wonder just how bad stress/cortisol can affect weight loss and contribute to bloat? Because I run one company that I built, and on the side, I sell life and health insurance. And I'm a single mom. Don't ask me how i manage to fit in 40 miles a week. Anyway, yes, VERY *kitten* sleep. 5 hours to 6 MAX. and poor quality. Im…

Try the birthday cake OMG. And the pumpkin spice all time favorite: Snickerdoodle. Good lord. I'm out on vacation right now and may have to swing by Vitamin Shoppe.

Haha yes I knew that :) always eat half or .25!

Definitely trying less miles :)

I know right! Definitely do not want to get injured. Today my run was very slow and I was so tired. I run my own business so I'm constantly stressed out. I think I push myself too hard. I can honesty say I didn't enjoy my run today because of exhaustion and lack of sleep. Maybe increased mileage too quickly. Thank you for…

Made diary public and switched settings. Forgetting Scooby for now. Put myself at 1 lb a week of weight loss at lightly active level. Will shoot to eat that amount and a little more when I run :)

Apparently. I do log everything, even my vitamins. I don't weigh pre packaged stuff, so I'm going to start doing that. And I'm thinking I burn less than 90 cals per mile which is what I was going off of. I'm just hoping I'm experiencing bloat because my stomach has been acting up. I don't have dairy because it bloats me up…

Yup. Looks like next week I'm cutting down to 25-30. The hunger is insane.

It's not. I did that on purpose.

How many do you burn per mile?

Well I'm already doing that lol. My deficit is created through running. Maybe I'm burning less than 90 cal a mile? Perhaps eat a little more and check to see if I maintain? Because I don't want to stop running.

My diary shouldn't be private. Is generic entry quick add? And I don't weigh religiously. Maybe that's it. Idk. I'm going to just take it down to like 1600 and run less. Probably go back down to 30 miles and I'm going to measure and weigh everything. I just think that even if I was horribly off my numbers I should have at…

I don't weigh prepackaged stuff! Maybe that's it. I eat lots of pre packaged stuff like Lenny and Larry cookies. I do measure my peanut butter, creamer, honey, milk, orange juice, cereal. But I use measuring cups not a scale. I use the scale for chicken breasts or sweet potatoes. I can't get around the idea that I'm stuck…

Okay so here is what I do: According to Scooby, my TDEE is 1670 at light cardio 3x a week. I manually input this into MFP. So MFP is set at 1670 maintenance for me. On average, that is what I eat. 1670. Sometimes a little more, 100 calories or so, for the past 3 weeks, since I've upped mileage. I do not eat exercise…

Lol yes sorry. I'm underestimating so I placed myself under light cardio 3x a week which equals 35-40 miles. Then I recalculate what MFP gives me down to 90 cals per mile instead of 100.

Well for the past 3 weeks I've been averaging an intake of about 1670-1700. Which is maintenance for me according to Scooby. For someone who does light cardio 3x a week. Then I run 35-40 miles and even then, I recalculate what MFP says. It says I burn 100 calories per mile but I take it down to 90. But idk. Maybe I'm…

Almost always.

Maybe it's water weight? I know I've lost inches. Clothes fit better. Even if I was off by half, 2000 caloric deficit should produce at least half a pound of Loss.

A deficit from the calories burned running. I think I should be losing weight at a much faster pace. Just not sure how to not be so god damn ravenous all the time.

I have a deficit of nearly 4K a week from running.

Eta: I also strength train 3x a week for 40 minutes each.

You can create a good deficit with cardio though.

I know- the math never fails and weight loss isn't linear (especially when I average it out- haven't updated my weight here) and it does really come out to .75. Just so close and it's frustrating. Like today I'm at 1500 because I've been grazing and haven't had time to sit and eat a meal. No way I'll be satisfied with 100…

Yup. Super consistent. Will increase weekly mileage to 50 by August. Otherwise I'd have no choice but to eat less. And really, I'm running to get better, so weighing less helps. For marathon goals.
