Tee hee, I just to clarify, I didn't google lactose intolerance and see if the symptoms match. The huntch is based off a simple observation that I always feel particularly sick after eating yogurt (which I've been doing significantly more often lately because I like the protein to calorie ratio) and I'm curious to see if…

Thank you. Yeah, being dirt poor isn't realistic, but I paid my rent and $20 is literally what I'm left with. Its hard, but I do my best to support myself. :-)

I love eggs, I could eat them constantly, but I feel like they've gotten so much more expensive lately

Hehehehe Yes, I do have a kitchen and I'm a half way decent cook ⌒.⌒

Hey, to clarify, this is my schedule about half of the time, I aim to get a minimum 6 hours of sleep a day, more if I can swing it, so my life is kinda like Compressed day, long day, compressed day, long day, on and on. The shorter days are no problem for me to eat within my means, but the long days are a struggle. Thanks…

Maybe this would still trigger you, but its my favorite healthy dessert: Frozen banana + food processor (or strong blender) = banana"ice cream" its cold, and smooth, and tastes so creamy and good. A banana is around a 100 calories, so one banana plus a few dark chocolate chips, or some nuts mixed in.....so good

I hate shaving, the only reason I ever do is because my SO likes smooth legs, so I'll shave those, a couple times a week, but thats it, if i didnt care about his preference i would be hairy and not give a damn.

1) Treat yourself like you would a child - speak with kindness, forgive mistake, encourage positive growth 2) "You didn't gain it all at once, why expect to lose it all at once" - i.e. patience 3) "Saying 'oops I ate something I shouldn't have, better give up for today' is like saying 'oops I dropped my phone, better stomp…

I'm 5ft 4.5inches :-)

I calculated my TDEE without exercise, so that I could calculate my daily burn separately, over wise, wouldn't it be like tracking my calories burned from exercise twice - if they are counted in my TDEE and I log them? I might be wrong, please correct me.

Though I don't have a specific study to quote here (sorry) I've done a fair amount of reading about fat intake and women's diets. Apparently our hormone levels are pretty easily influenced by or fat intake, and drastically lowering it can be one of the reason some girls (me!) get cranky as f*** or feel weird, tired,…

I ate 3 of these for diner last night for 124kcal slice of turkey, rolled around assorted greens, cilantro, dijon mustard and a little bit of cream cheese was delish!

I have zero self control. If there are sweets, I will eat them. Solution: Don't buy them. I simply can't keep them in the house or I wont be able to eat them in moderation. If I want a treat, I plan for it, decide what it will be and go get it. If I know I'm going to eat a meal out or order something, I spend some mental…

I really love that idea! Speaking to myself like I would a child, with sweetness and understanding. That's great context!

Mostly a continuation of, "Don't die, don't die, breathe, please don't die, LOVE OF GOD A CRAMP ow ow ow ow, don't die"

BEAR DOWN!

nooooooo *cowers in fear*

hehehe I'm so with you! It's about gaining healthy habits, yeah? I've given up busing places, and bought a bike. I've learned how to make a salad that I actually think is the bomb! I do generally overestimate my portions just in case, but as long as I maintain/lose weight and feel super duper awesome I'm good. When I'm not…

Thanks :-) The R2D2 purse is perfect for holding my Harry Potter books. Tee Hee

DEFINITELY!
