I've been using emeals to plan because I hate the planning part and refuse to do it. I hate the prepping part too, but if there's a plan I will prep.

I am down 50 lbs with 30ish to go. Celiac, migraine, reactive hypoglycemia, and IBS are my biggest medical struggles (luckily all currently managed with diet) and I identify as a nerd :smile:

I had to stop tracking for a while to deal with my binging. I am back to logging now that I feel more confident in my mental capacity to do this in a healthy way. I found a lot of success with the book Brain Over Binge.

At a desk all day too. My co-workers started a thing where we all plank at 10am and 2pm. Team building and core strengthening!
