According to my eating disorder psychiatrist, no, by counting calories, we are creating restrictions and it's just keeping us in the eating disorder loop Smaller window is just another way to create a restriction, you will only find a way to feel guilty eating outside of that or by being hungrier through the day and…

Hahaha mental hamsters. Such a lovely mental image

I hope so too, hopefully it will be easy to adapt, and where I'm better prepared this time.. lol

Yeah I'm super excited because I had this little $1500 nest egg saved up and I didnt really mind spending it on something I knew I needed but yeah, to be offered that was such a weight lifted off, cause in all honesty it seemed like every time I tried to save something, something happens and I need it.. lol like cat…

Some good and unexpected news. My eating disorder psychiatrist just emailed me to tell me that they would offer the therapy to me free at no cost since my insurance wouldnt pay for it. He also said that my self management has been great progress as well. So.. I guess I just gotta wait for him to give me a date and I'm…

I feel like I have the heartless reaction here But.. I wouldnt care lol If they take offense or get hurt because I want to get healthy. Oh well lol. But that's just me.

Lol.. I cant even imagine eating clear slime in my oatmeal lol... Someone else can field this one..

There is tons and tons of them, google for them, when I was diabetic my first time losing weight I was craving pancakes, I googled low carb pancake syrup and found 2 canadian websites that sold low carb products.

If you're using milk, then yes.

Having no experience with WLS... I will say this.. As someone who was obese my whole life, I assumed the whole time that if I was skinny, that would fix all my problems, both from the way people treated me and how I felt about myself and I'd be happy. Turns out in the end, I still hated myself, I was still depressed and…

I think people should definitely wait.

@copelandjr -- it's a shame you took the time to write all that out just trying to be helpful, but unfortunately its misguided. The body does not store fat at night. The body is constantly burning calories 24/7, by eating food, we are simply replenishing that required energy, so it doesnt matter if you eat and then go to…

@PAV8888 -- I'm pretty sure 9 times out of 10 I'm pretty blunt but there is a niceness buried under it like a tootsie pop

I dont think smoking excessively should be classed under "doing something right" lol Same with drinking a lot. The japanese have a lot of health problems, 1 in 10 die of smoking, cancer is a huge problem there, they have athletes foot from taking community baths, heart disease, pneumonia.. In fact all the same things that…

At only a week your expectations are too high, people dont lose every week and as mentioned above water retention is up and down constantly and has the ability to mask loss.
-
I'm confused by this "no carb diet" You're not going to eat fruits or veggies either? Is this a doctor recommendation? Cause carbs do not cause weight gain and unless you plan to eat like this for the rest of your life, I would suggest rethinking your strategy
-
And were those calculators including exercise? Cause mfp does not count any workouts as part of the goal So you may of selected too high of a weight loss target and may be comparing them to calculators assuming calorie burns
-
I dont even think my brain would even allow me to do that.. I can with baby carrots lol.. and low calorie stuff like sugar free jello, but I'm pretty sure my brain would implode Which you know what? That's so weird to say cause it's not like It did that while I was gaining weight and binge eating lol.. sitting there eating…
-
Did you readjust your weight loss goal? At some point people have to change from 2lbs per week to 1.5...to 1... then down to .5lbs per week, effectively slowing their rate of loss down and keeping their calories at a good level... What this does is transition you as close as possible to maintenance so when you get there…
-
Okay.. A couple of weeks isnt really that long, most plateaus are about 6 weeks or more and are often the result of people eating more then they think. However the reason why its 6 weeks is because weight loss isnt linear and it's possible to go weeks without losing weight. In fact I spent 2 weeks at the same weight and I…
-
How long is "since then" How many calories per day are you eating? How many are you burning? Are you eating them back? Are you weighing your food on a food scale? Using correct entries in the database? What's your age, weight, height?
-
There is no "late" time to eat or wrong things to eat..
-
Not discouraging the research, however, mathematically, it makes sense.. Someone with 100lbs to lose with a maintenance of 2400, losing 2lbs per week could get away with it because 1400 is putting them over the 1200 minimum requirement. After that they can increase it if they find that too low.. Where as someone with a…

Yeah. I often make substitutions also. Like today, I made a recipe for pizza pasta in the instapot, the recipe called for ground italian sausage, but I wondered if maybe I could replicate the flavor using ground chicken. Sure enough, there was a recipe lol. So I made that instead, it cut the calories for the ground meat…

Losing weight requires a calorie deficit, so it doesnt matter how you track your calories, as long as you're eating less then your burn
-
Yeah, somewhat, like, I find that since it's basically controlling my impulses, once that stops, that's when the binge mode starts to kick in, I think technically that they expect you to be asleep by the time it wears off, however that's not realistic lol I find it easier to manage a few hours of not giving in to those…

https://www.drugs.com/vyvanse.html Here is a link to the meds I am taking. If anyone is curious about them and how they work
-
I'm not out of meds. I think the misunderstanding is that the meds only work for so many hours. The max dose is 70 and I take 60 right now. Smaller doses do not help which is why I'm pretty much at the max now. They are a stimulant so you are expected to take them in the morning, so by the end of the day, they have worn…

I always work out my calories before I make or during making the recipe, even when those recipe sites offer nutritional info at the bottom, I often find it vastly different from my own.
