I think... I broke a rib. It really hurts to breathe. Or move. Or not move. This is gonna put a serious twist in my plan to hit the gym when it opens on the 20th. :/

CW: 164.4 I spent a week eating with reckless abandon and not moving much so this is expected. Next week will be better. :)

@ashleycarole86 It depends how into gaming culture you are I guess. The person was Dan Avidan, a YouTube gamer and lead singer of three different niche bands that I love: NSP, Starbomb and Skyhill. He wished us well and then sang part of a romantic song for me. I spontaneously combusted on the spot and have been living…

I was defeated by a dessert. It was a brownie wrapped in a crepe drowning in chocolate. So dense. Every bite was so rich I broke out in a sweat. I gave up halfway through and waved the white flag in shame. We should have shared one. D:

So husband got me a Cameo from my favorite celebrity and it was so, so much more embarrassing than I anticipated. I just about burst into flames. I love it and I'll keep it forever but omg.

@conleywoods My favorite books at 12 were So You Want to be a Wizard by Diane Duane and Wild Magic by Tamora Pierce. In fact I still reread them sometimes. Both authors are great for creating strong female leads worth looking up to. There weren't that many books like that when I was a kid.

Different binge report: I've read 11 books in the last three days. Plus the archives of two comics. I love reading. Fantasy, non-fiction, romance, anything. BOOKS. I need them like I need air. I haven't had time to sit and read like this in a long time. I had a personal success yesterday as well, I faced a fear I've had…

CW: 160 The scale is taunting me again. A mere 5 pounds to a healthy weight but it feels almost as impossible as the first 50. That said, I've been on this probiotic for a month now and even I can't believe how much better things are. A little while ago I ate vegetables for dinner without three days of agony after for the…

My coworker came back from 16 months of maternity leave and said she didn't recognize me until I spoke. XD I'm on vacation this week and I don't feel guilty about planning to eat at maintenance. I haven't felt guilty about eating too much this year at all, though it's happened quite a few times. My relationship with food…

@conleywoods He doesn't start until the end of the month, I think some training on the 23/24 and official start is June 28. Our anniversary is the 11th. I'm looking forward to some destressing and couple time to properly kick things off for him.

I'm... ON VACATION!! Don't judge me too harshly for my next couple weigh ins. We're exhausted and burned out and probably going to be ordering out and being lazy a lot.

Nothing too fancy, just a very small chocolate cake from the grocery store. Surprisingly pretty decent. :) We're under heat warnings because it's so darn hot, I went to buy fans and they were sold out everywhere. Finally got the last one at Canadian Tire. But it was still hard to sleep last night.

Update: they offered him the job and it comes with a 40% raise. I'm seriously gonna cry, I'm so proud of him. To heck with calories we're having cake tonight!

Husband has a job interview today and I'm more nervous than he is! Three more days and I'm on vacation. Just gotta muddle through somehow.

I don't eat fruits or veggies due to an ongoing stomach issue. You don't need those things for weight loss. You only need a calorie deficit, and you can create a calorie deficit eating nothing but fast food if you're careful. Log your food, stay in your goals, and you will lose weight. For the sake of your health, on the…

I'll never give up diet soda. There's just no meaning in it for me. There are more important issues. Like Doritos and gummy candy (fuzzy peaches particularly but also gummy worms). They're terrible. I haven't had them in two years, because I can't control myself around them at all. Better to just not be around them.

CW: 161.8 It's because we ordered dinner yesterday and I ate too much. =P Oh well.

Raw for lean meats only. Cooked for high fat meats. Like bacon! Always weigh bacon cooked. You cook off so much of the fat and drain it, so there's no point weighing all that fat when you won't eat it. A 500 gram package of bacon becomes around 120 grams cooked usually, that's a lot of mass you aren't eating. Chicken and…

We just got groceries and... ITS BLACK CHERRY SEASON!! I loooove black cherries they are the best fruit. Can only get them in spring though sadly. We used to go camping in BC when I was a kid and we'd go down to the farmers' carts with $5 and walk away with literal buckets of fresh cherries and raspberries and just eat…

Hi All, I'm Amber and I'm also in the Calgary Alberta area. I was always a fat kid, and it's partly because I (thought I was) extremely lazy and hate sports, and partly because I love chocolate more than anything. Turns out I had a severe anxiety disorder. All those things I thought I hated were just me being scared. Go…

I thought I'd have to give up all the foods I love. Now I know I can eat anything as long as I plan for it. I thought I hated exercise and would be miserable forcing myself. Now I know that I just hate cardio, and weight lifting is fun, and I don't need to force anything since it's optional anyway. And on that note, I…

I think that's normal! A few days of doing anything you can to survive minute by minute is pretty typical as far as stressed people go and I don't think there's anything wrong with that. Most people would fall apart a little bit. I'm really glad your daughter seems to be doing better.

I'm making crockpot pulled pork for dinner today. I realized as I was dumping assorted things in that this is what I like about cooking. Look up a recipe, realize you don't have most of the ingredients, randomly replace or remove as needed. Plus add whatever else you like. What I'm actually cooking looks nothing like what…

I got vaccinated today!! My arm hurts a little now, but the needle itself was so tiny I didn't feel anything. Overall I'm about as sore as I'd be after lifting some heavy weights, so not really that bad at all. I've been advised to abstain from pregnancy for 4 weeks. :lol:

When I go to parties or events, I don't feel like everyone is staring at me when I grab snacks or dessert. I'm pretty guilt free around food now even on the rare occasions I indulge.

When I'm exhausted, I get hungry. A hot drink with a little sugar is usually enough to kill the hunger switch though.

My double chin fully disappeared.

Spring cleaning update: went through the closet with a metaphorical pair of clippers and pruned it way, way down. All my old dresses, a bunch of decent shirts and about 8 pairs of jeans into the donate pile. A bunch of old underwear, shirts and pants with holes and old shoes into the trash. A handful of old shirts into the…

CW: 161 The weather is lousy this weekend. Guess I'll do some spring cleaning.

Meeee! I eat cookies and donuts throughout the week and we order out for fast food or pizza once a week. I've lost 110 pounds. I have not had significant gain in over 2 years. Eat what you want is my motto. You can get nutrition from almost any food.
