I always feel that if it's not a sustainable thing, it's probably not worth doing. Int fasting is one of those I feel that you're (probably) not going to do 1, 5, 10+ years for now. I also believe it's all based on calories in and eating less for your desired outcome, not really based on fasting or not fasting for a few…

Excellent job! You are a beautiful woman!

There is a lot going on with you! Just know that this community is a great place to start for help. You have most people who are in the same situation. First thing you can do is turn that negative thinking around to a more positive vibe. Easy to say, harder to do but it all starts there. This site has a number of tools…

You got this!!! That's today!! I will also join you! I will send you a FR!

Dang! Crazy stuff! I'm am glad you are making a change. The blood sugar of 650 is super high.

Vodka & seltzer, White Claw "hard" seltzers or tequila on the rocks.

I don't know your specifics but you have to find something that you can be comfortable doing for the long term. You will have to try different things to see what works the best for you.

Too many to mention. OA.org for me!

Lots of "flavors" in everything, not the real thing. It's basically a chemical concoction. I know a company that chemically "makes" the "flavoring" in a lot of our favorite things. Fun stuff.

I would count everything. Everything but water has calories.

It's totally fair to ask your spouse to support you but not brining in the food. It will be a help for him too.

If you eat over your recommended calories per day you will gain weight no matter what the food. With that said processed foods have a lot of weird ingredients/chemicals and should probably be minimized.

Beyond Meat Burgers!!

Abstain would be the way I would tackle that.

Don't be. Do research and craft a plan on your own. Sites like this have so much to offer along with the opinion of a number of people who have gone through the same things you are. Somewhere in all that you will craft a plan that works for you.

Dang! Awesome job! You look fantastic!

Hair and eyes.

Eat more pizza. Did you want another? Have more! Eat up. Look what I just bought for you... I have people in my life that clearly try to sabotage.

Garden. Getting your hands in the dirt is very calming.

Ditto to what she said. I have the best success with logging all my food, regardless of how good or bad the day. Own those results. At the end of the day and either learn from them or continue to build on them.

You got this!!!

Excellent job!

Peanut butter and white bread.

You look amazing to me. I like the view outside of your window, it looks like a nice yard.

Up again yesterday after an upgrade.

I have a few trigger foods. I can't even keep them in the house because the outcome is irrational. I go as far as staying away from those isles in the grocery store. You may want to check out OA.org. I don't know your specific situation but there is an entire section dedicated to trigger foods. I found it very helpful.

It's good and easy to make. It will keep in the fridge for up to about 5-7 days if you wanted to make a bigger batch and just have it for future recipes. I didn't really have any experience with it having any kind of effect on anything. It's a good protein source but it is higher in calories.

That's awesome!!!!!!

You have an awesome opportunity with this blank slate. I would transition this into a prairie type garden. I would equip it with fantastic milk weed, wild flowers, grasses, natives to your state. All the stuff that attracts butterflies, bees, humming birds, birds, beneficial insects, etc. You have a nice start with what…

I love gardening. We also had snow in WI on Saturday. I'm in zone 5 as well. I normally don't plant early except for kale, spinach or lettuce but decided to do early planting of marigolds and bees friend. I covered up the seedlings with a blanket when we got the snow and they are luckily still living. Now, with the crazy…
