@victoria_1024 I understand where you are coming from.. I'm slowly starting to loss thatobsessiin with food. I sorta want to go without my scale everyday and counting calories but then I don't at the same time. To keep myself accountable. I just want to eat normally and still be in control ya know find that balance. But I…

i wasnt feeling well. i started by just cutting out soda and juice.. i did that for about two months.. just casually step on the scale and twenty lbs was gone. then i cut out eating past seven o'clock lost more weight. than i cute our all my snack foods, made my portions small and kept on changing my diet. a year later…

it may help to go back to your old routine for a while and then find a new routine or balance and try to stick to it. its like retraining your mind or behavior! you can do it! dont give up or lose hope.. tomorrow is a new day! Take it slow make one small change for now! Any change you make to get you to where you want to…

Personally I feel better with less meat and more veggies plus you can eat so can physically eat more veggies and fruits because they are somewhat low in calories than meats . I feel sluggish when I eat foods high in sodium or processed foods. Or I do eat meat every now and then and I'm just stuffed... try whole grains!!…

Are you eating whole grains?

Thank you for all your feedback every little thing counts

I'm trying to find the right and healhlier balance. I'm at the moment in my life where I'm finding the appropriate way of eating to maintain a healthy lifestyle. I've been trying to do research and finding people eith the knowledge and experience with what I'm going through. I'm trying to retrain my mind

People say that. And I've been testing it out but I think everyone's body is different and certain food metabolize differently. It weird learning what food metabolize the best in my body! I wish I could indulge in McDonald's. I'm happy you can do so but for me I have to eat healthy or I will unhinge like I'm doing now and…

I'm hoping that will be the case. I just want to maintain and happy lifestyle without all the worry and calculating! I want to be abled to eat. Yummmy foods and maintain a healthy lifestyle! I want to feel good! Physically and mentally

I really am trying to find that healthy balance and my next purchase is going to be scale to weight out my food to get the proper reading on things I've come this far and don't want to back track

I'm living in fear that I will go back to those old ways and I have anxiety and worry about every meal

@Maggie4211 @Chef_Barbell at one point I restricted so much and now I feel like I'm unhinging. I eat a lot of veggies stills dn whole grains. I incorporated whole wheat bread and condiments.. trying to do plant based. Eating things in extreme moderation! I'm a foodie and love to cook! I'm trying to find a healthier and…

@Maggie4211 @Chef_Barbell I see where both you are coming from! I'm trying to find that balance! I feel like I need to eat healthy for the rest of my life restricting all those things but I know that's not the correct way to eat! I should find pleasure and flavor in my food and not have a negative relationship with it

@Alatariel75 Ate one point all I ate was veggies and fruit. And then I incorporated whole grains like brown rice, quinoa then I added whole wheat bread and corn or rice

@Chef_Barbell I measure my foods. I actually should buy a food scale. That going on to my list for things to buy this week!! That's going to be my best purchase! I forgot about a foods scale. I need a treadmill or exercise equipment Thank you

For what my fitness pal say I've gain 3.3 lbs in a month. I it may have been a couple weeks that I've slowly started to add things. I've been added more cheese and sauces this week tho. I feel like I've been more active! I started walking about a mile a day and I'm barely stationary. Always on the movie doing homework.…

@Alatariel75 logging everything. I don't have a good scale tho. I may get one. I know that will come out I. Handy and be more accurate

@livingleanlivingclean I don't believe in less active. I stand all day and walk about three miles all together back and forth from work. Wake up early get my chores done around the house and then come home to more chores and not really stationary until late. Maybe I'm not getting enough sleep?

@JohnnyPenso that's what I'm hoping.. this is a new thing for me it's been a long year of weight loss and trying to find a new way of eating, a balance. I'm eating healthy still with adding flavor and maybe a tiny it of snack really.

@livingleanlivingclean I am tracking every calories to make sure I have an accurate calorie count and so I can see what make my weight go up or down. Trying to fully understand what I can have and how much everyday and the different combos. I'm slowly trying to gain lm back regular and flavorful eating habits

@MoiAussi93 that's what I was thinking. I went from very low sodium and I increased my intake all of a sudden for flavor

@WinoGelato sadly I wish I had join so much sooner. It really would have helped me out so much.. I'm learning new thing everyday on here.

@WinoGelato See that's what I'm learning right now. I haven't read the whole thread yet. I can't eat whatever I like an maintain my weight but eating these foods in moderation. I wish I knew all this when I started I joined the community at the end of my journey. Now I'm slowing eating foods I sadly restricted.

Well I'm sorry. I'm new to interacting on here. I completely understand where you are coming from now. I need to learn these things myself. It sorta does sound horrible. It's sort of a long story and hard to explain my journey. But you do make some good points.

Hahaha I think those are the ones that give ya massive case of poops

@WinoGelato I used to love those crispy muncho chips. Now they are to salty for me and have a weird after taste.. idk maybe I just associate those foods with feeling guilty after I ate them. I still working out all my kinks in my weight loss journey. I figuring out how to balance my eating habits. I'm not an expert or calm…

I just think those foods don't fuel you. They have no nutritional value. I'm not telling what to eat. Do what you want it's your journey. I prefer to eat them in moderation.. if I find something I enjoy. My tastebuds did change. I don't enjoy the snack and certain food items. I used too. That's all. Everyone is different.…

All I meant was foods that are overly processed.. it's not a big deal. You know what I'm saying. I wasn't trying to offended anyone.

Hahaha people are going off about me using the word garbage!!

Hahaha very funny guys. You know what I'm saying fast foods, chips Unhealthy food items. Hahahahaha
