I am such a sucker for these types of posts. OP just changed their age to 35. They trollin

This is a horrible feeling I can relate with. I know this does not work for all relationships or all arguments, but one thing my boyfriend and I have become good at is just talking it out until the point of exhaustion. You know you are going to work it out eventually, so why not keep calm and talk calmly until you can…

I agree with the person who brought up self love. I used to turn to other activities like going outside or painting my nails so I couldn't eat, but I think those are more temporary fixes for what's hurting deep within. For me it was like a lightbulb went on one day. I went from being single for 5 years to a very supportive…

miyoko's vegan cheese. The double cream & chive one is ridiculous. I eat it straight...and all at once. :#

I went vegan for the stupidest reason: My boyfriend went vegan. He never said anything or pressured me but basically I just felt weird eating animal products in front of him and eventually I felt weird even eating them without him. I started this thing where I always made my lunch vegan even though I was not 100% yet and…

Thanks for all the good advice! I think I'll give the ball a try. And moving my body every hour. Sounds much better than what I'm currently doing :smile:

Being comfortable in a bathing suit. Doesn't even need to be a bikini (yet). I just want to feel comfortable and confident in a one piece this summer.

Pictures of me in my bathing suit from Memorial Day weekend :/ Mostly I am on this journey to look better but I want to feel better too. I want to be able to be SUPER active.

That is fine that you have those interests. I'm simply trying to say that if somebody is really concerned with what somebody ELSE is eating, or how somebody ELSE defines themselves, maybe they should do something else for a little while.

OP if you or anyone else wants to add me as a friend for vegan/vegetarian support (I try to stay vegan) I promise to never judge what's in your diary and expect the same from my friends. If a certain diet does not make you feel good and you want to switch to another type of eating and you have a friend who won't support…

I was thinking this exactly. I am 5'5'' too and 136 is actually my end goal. I am probably around 148. I don't own a scale but I think I'm in the higher 140s right now. Do you lift? I think lifting makes all the difference in appearance.

I've heard it can be any bean and any whole grain and they don't even have to be eaten together, just try to get them in the same day. Idk if this is true though, maybe somebody can confirm.

I eat when I'm hungry. Usually every 3 to 4 hours. Weekdays: 8/9am 12/1pm 4/5pm snack 6/7pm Weekends are all over the place cause I like to sleep iiinnnnnnn.

I agree. I wish more vegans would take a similar stance as you. I'm vegan but that kind of language just really turns me off. Like, obviously we all know where cow milk comes from, and if a person continues to drink it or if they go 100% vegan is probably not contingent on whether or not they identify as a calf. OP I…

Sounds like we are definitely in the same boat melonaulait. Add me if you want to figure this macro thing out together! that goes for everyone. Thanks for the replies!

AMAzing transformation and I love the questions regarding indulging!! Where did you find the cauliflower alfredo sauce recipe??

So true on the personal piece. Thanks for the tips!

Thanks for the tip. I'm not huge on cooking or breakfast either! I have been eating lots of Lara bars...those are probably mostly sugar though as I think they are pretty much just dates and chocolate. Logging is definitely going to help this time around.

Thanks for the reply. I don't take a multi but I take the first 3. I don't take calcium or iodine and have been off iron for a while...

lol finally some sound advice! I am definitely not perfect and not trying to get pregnant. Thanks :D

Thanks for the replies. I kind of know I'm eating too much. I'd really like advice on how to eat less on a vegan diet but still feel like I have plenty of energy. Are there certain types of protein people find are more helpful than others? Maybe it has more to do with the type of carbs? I understand calories in, calories…

This is awesome! Thanks for sharing : )

Thanks for your reply. I am definitely going to look at macros now that I'm back on here (something I didn't really do before). Interesting that the higher calorie smoothie is not the most satiating one... would love smoothie recipes if you care to share.Thanks!
