I actually prefer wraps to bread even though the calorie count can easily be the same or higher. I just put more STUFF in a wrap than I do a sandwich. So something in a wrap becomes a huge full meal for me because there is usually warm steak, mushrooms, spinach inside, etc. But a sandwich would be a small square with some…

Pants! Absolutely pants! I'd even go so far as to say that it's all complete b*ll*cks, but I don't know if MFP will censor me lol.

Lol thanks. It has gotten much easier for me to appreciate in the last few years once I was able to find clothes and bras that fit me well. Which was nearly impossible growing up in a mid-sized Canadian town. The amount of time that I spent bawling my eyes out in a changeroom because clothing manufacturers didn't believe…

Yup. My husband just moved out of sales and into a manual labour job. He can't believe how much food he eats now. He's even started throwing protein powder into a bottle of water to drink on his drive out to work (after eating breakfast!) to help keep him full and energized. He's 6 feet tall and beanpole skinny, lol, and…

I'm planning a trip to the U.K. so I was using google maps to find chipies and pubs in the area to check out. Almost EVERY SINGLE place with a website had a tab listing nutritional information. Even the local non-chain pubs. This was Scotland. Most people probably 1) don't understand how calories work. 2) don't care how…

Ok I honestly didn't even realize that he was still a thing! My mom never worked out to him so I always felt like I kind of missed the era, lol. It's almost 6am. I was going to go do Zombies,Run! for my morning workout, but maybe I'll Google Richard Simmons and have a solo dance party instead. I've only seen clips of his…

My 10" waist to hip difference is actually a huge pain in the butt, and even though it was annoyingly taught as "holy gospel" in sewing, it makes buying flattering pants that actually fit me right in the real world nearly impossible. Finding decent dresses is also tricky. This isn't a "poor me" post, I'm just saying that…

Lol so my bust is a 26, or a stretchy 24 and my waist down is about a 20. Joy! "Hello, yes, I'm trying to find a shirt that is flattering for my size 20 waist AND size 26 boobs" *facepalm*. Not going to lie, finding shirts that fit well can be a bit annoying but I'll take the current 2 size difference in sizing for my body…

Pre-planning your day also makes it SO much easier to do what you want. I could easily have a full chocolate bar every day if I wanted to (and often do) simply by pre-logging everything that I'm going to eat the next day. I work full time so I do meal prep for all of my work days. I come up with a good solid dinner because…

My fish oil is 1230mg per capsule 450 EPA 300 DHA Recommend serving is 1 a day = 11 calories

I suuuuck at running these days. My cardiovascular fitness is so bad right now. Which is brutal because I used to have to run every bloody day as a cadet. I'm working on getting better and my first real running goal is to eventually get to a 10 minute mile. Lol right now I'm still in the speedwalking with a touch of…

Fellow Canadians eh? BC girl over here! Feel free to add me everyone!!

I work graveyards then come home and workout between around 9:30am-noon. I try to be back home showered and in bed for noon.

I absolutely love love looooooove Harry Winston. Love Harry Winston. Frickin love it. Even my engagement ring is based on the classic Winston cushion cut with baguette ring. Frickin love it.

I totally know the feeling. I had a week waaaay under calories due to my sleep schedule and I should have dropped a bunch of weight but the scale refused to budge because I was retaining water weight. Once it released though the scale dropped dropped dropped. It's sooooo frustrating sometimes. I understand the need to pout…

BOOM!

This is so true! I decided that I wanted a post workout snack in the morning more than a full (large) after dinner brownie. I can still have half a brownie and fit my pre-workout calorie goal. I actually have an extra 800 exercise calories to eat today. I can eat the whole brownie if I want to, heck I could eat 2 or 3, but…

About 840 calories of homemade burrito bowl. Rice, porkloin, black beans, chickpeas, corn, tomatos, lettuce, salsa and cheese.

I like to do my meat in ounces and most other things in grams. (My meat servings per meal are usually 8+ oz, so I just can't be bothered dealing with grams there).

On the other hand, I'm a recovering disordered eater as well and I love my Fitbit. I don't find it triggers my disordered eating at all. Just posting this to note that depending on where you a person is in their recovery they may be just find with a tracker. If you're not sure how you'll do, maybe start off with just a…

Woooo!

No joke, half way through reading the first post I got up to eat a brownie. Why? Because I can. It fit my calories for the day. If I had to restrict the kinds of foods I could eat I'd probably go really crazy really fast. Knowing that I can have anything I want keeps the power in my hands. I can choose to fit in treats or…
-
Ha! This really spoke to me as I actually spent the weekend culling my closet and pulling out everything I've shrunk down out of. I was telling my husband that part of my ability to ignore my weight re-gain was the fact that I never had to buy new clothes. There was always something larger in my closet that fit me. This…

Gummy bears and other gummy candies. Taiwanese pineapple cake. Hagen Daazs icecream. I've stayed away from them for 4 months now. Eventually I'll get to the point where I will trust myself to try reincorporateing them back into my diet, but for now I doubt my self control. I could easily sit and work my way through the…

I don't do cheat days, I work my treats into my day. Though I may have a special day where I eat up to maintenance. I don't consider it a cheat though. They are few and far between, I log everything as accurately as possible and if I don't have the nutritional info I find a similar food entry, pick the one with the highest…

In it! Anime, DC/Marvel, Whovian, WoW, Sci-fi, fantasy. LARPing is on my todo list! Canada with about 75lb to lose.

I'm sorry, did you say that you're 5'11 and female and the doctor is willing to put you down to 1,000 cals??? That's crazy. Even me at 5'7 and 228lb can lose about 2lb a week at around 1300 calories.

My last purchase of chicken breasts cost a bit over $6 USD/lb sooooo *facepalm* Salmon steaks about $0.79 USD/oz to me that's basically a 9oz salmon steak for $9

I'm so glad that I'm not the only one sitting here going, "Ummmm haven't apples always been sweet?" You know, unless it's a Granny Smith or something, which is meant to be sour. A Macintoch is kinda mid sweet and a red delicious is like, queen of the sweet apples. Isn't that just fruit life? And yeah, I side eye a lot of…

I spend waaaay more money getting fit. It's just more expensive. I can't live off of $2 packs of hot dogs and $10 budget bags of chicken strips to save money any more. You can really slash your grocery bill when you're eating calorie dense/high sodium foods. Which we needed to do when my husband was in a car accident and…
