I know I have big goals and that's why I always end up giving up. You're right though, I need to make little changes and take them one step at a time. I think that's key here. I do have a Fitbit Zip but I don't use it very much. I'm afraid of buying an expensive one and not using it... Maybe I will give it a few months and…

Ah, okay. This is all starting to make sense!

Seriously, thank you for the replies everyone! I am feeling so much better already. I think I was beating myself up a lot for not staying under the macros! So here's another question - how do you know if you're eating less than you burn? I have a Fitbit Zip but I don't think it calculates anything like that.

Thank you guys! I've been so stressed trying to manage my macros and I think that's been the issue. I've been giving up because of frustration but if I don't have to try and micro-manage that stuff, I think everything will be much easier on me. I feel so much relief already, lol. I will head to the beginner forums and do…

Hi. I realize I do need therapy and it's something I have sought out before. I do have anxiety issues. Normally I'm a pretty positive person. I think I've just been too hard on myself and I've run myself down a little. This thread has helped a lot. The suggestions here are going to help me move forward from here out :)

I'm usually good with things finely chopped. I've just been slacking on the preparation - which is my fault entirely. I need to stop being lazy and start making things to how I'll eat them. Thank you. I'm going to try and stick with soups/stews and things where veggies are easily hidden :)

Thanks for your encouraging words :) I think I'm going to try your method. Turning 2-3 foods a year into something that I can eat. I realize this is going to be a slow process and I think trying to rush it is what's making me frustrated with things. I'm going to try a roatation of soups/stews and see how I fare with that.…

I actually don't eat that many and I do think I need more. I have some health issues and I'm supposed to bulk up on the greens and veggies in general. I've been trying to take a green powder to supplement things but I'm not sure if it's really helping.

Mashed potatoes, yes. Sweet potatoes, no. I've tried squash on it's own and that didn't do much for me. I might try pureeing it with potatoes and see what that gets me. I've tried cauliflower and potatoes and almost died eating that, lol.

I do get bored of it. I've been eating a tomato based soup with turkey, squash and sweet potato for days, lol. I still have two bowls left and I just don't want anymore of it. I also have a hard time fitting two different soups into my calories and macros.

I just got back from an hour long Pokewalk! If anyone wants to add me, feel free :)

I'm in Ontario :)

I have the opposite problem. I get to work and I can stick to what's in my lunch bag but once I get home - ugh. Good on you for sticking to it!

It could be. I don't like eggs but maybe I'll eat a simple bowl of cereal for a few days and see how that sits with me. I'm not even sure how to explain the pain. It seems to be up higher, sort of in the middle and I feel a little nauseous and dizzy. It's a really uncomfortable feeling that I've never experienced before.…

My very favourite: 2 cups from a mixed bag of frozen pineapple, mango, strawberries and peaches, a banana and 1 cup of pineapple juice. It's so sweet and delicious. I love starting my morning out with something yummy.

I've got 120 to lose. Feel free to add me if you want.

I didn't even think of that! I'll give that a try.

Hi. I'm trying to lose 129lbs. Feel free to add me :)

I have PCOS with insulin resistance and have been prescribed Metformin and birth control but I haven't really been taking them (financial reasons). I'm sort of stumbling my way through this and it isn't easy. All I can do is try. My endocrinologist told me I need to lose weight so I'm just plugging along and trying to…

Yay Ontario-ans! I will add everyone :)

I have PCOS with insulin resistance and I'm well on my way to being diabetic. It's a scary thing. Feel free to add me. It's a scary road. :)

Feel free to add me. I'm Pansexual bordering on asexual. I'm definitely LGBT friendly :)

Feel free to add me if you'd like. I've got 129 pounds to lose myself and understand how difficult it is. :smile:

I've been doing a little experimenting. I'm loving my morning smoothie's with avocado. Once I use them up, I'm going to move onto something else. Maybe spinach and give that a try. I also tried mashing some carrots into my potatoes and it was pretty good! Cauliflower is next to try with potatoes. Here's hoping, because I…

Thank you again for the tips. Therapy is something I'm looking into. As for specifying which vegetables I've tried and hate... There's so many to list. Caulifower, spinach, brussel sprouts, broccoli, carrots, lettuces, cabbage, celery, bok choy, kale.... So far the only ones I can eat are spinach (I throw that in sauces…

First of all, I want to thank everyone for being so kind and helpful!! I was honestly expecting some horribly mean responses but I've gotten nothing but help from you guys. I am so thankful and I am going to try harder. I appreciate this very much <3 I would love to try therapy but I can’t afford it unfortunately and have…

Your cute little avatar caught my attention <3 Hi and welcome to the site. I've been stumbling my way through this for a little while and I'm in a downward slope right now. I've been thinking about talking to my doctor about gastric bypass. Congratulations on the weight loss and I wish you continued success. Feel free to…

I've tried roasted vegetables but I find they taste burnt and bitter that way... I do try and hide veggies in other things! I'm great at hiding veggies in pasta sauce (usually zucchini and spinach) but I can't eat pasta every day (unfortunately!). I usually don't make my own sauce though. I buy a healthy-ish one and add…

I wanted to add that I'm thinking about trying juicing but I'm afraid to make the investment in an expensive juicer. Can you really mask the taste of the vegetables with fruit? I wonder if I can get my veggie intake for the day in the form of juice.

Walking 10k steps is huge! That's great :) I've just started to weigh my food and I'm trying to be more conscious of what I eat. On good days I'm alright. It's the binge days that set me back, and they set me back quite a bit. For example, yesterday was a bad binge day and I ate almost 5k calories in fast food and candy.…
