Cause to me, I have a body image/shape that I want FOR ME. FOR ME. I don't like *MY* shape. I was just stating that I don't want to be MY SHAPE. I'm sure there are people happy/look great the way they are, and I'm fine with that for them, but not FOR ME. I want thinner thighs FOR ME. I hate MY genetics. Does that make it…
-
So, in sum: - By hating on my shape, and personally not caring about what other people look like, I hate them all anyway. Question though, honestly. When someone here posts "I don't want to be fat anymore, I hate being obese", do you all rush to tell them that they're "hating on" or "shaming" fat/obese people? Or when they…

WOW you guys are sensitive. So other overweight people saying they're unhappy with their body are shaming other overweight people too? Then this whole site is full of shaming. Or hey, even the OP is shaming people with thigh fat, because she's unhappy with hers?

You and me both. My beloved family has 2 types of female bodies, skinny & nicely proportioned and pears. Guess which side I'm lucky to be on? Sigh. It's like... I'm at the point where I have a flat stomach, but my jeans are still a 10 (or up depending on the store) because of my thighs.

This. SO much. I forgot the flavor my friend gave me, it tasted like beef jerky covered chocolate.

I leave the house or occupy my mind with something. Or find something I want more than the cravings - ie, I'd rather not exercise to make up for the extra calories, ESPECIALLY when I feel bloated. :D

What made you fall off? You should probably think about what triggered this and try and build tolerance against it.

Things have been super hectic and crazy in my life as well. Super recent shocking bad news that I'm still reeling from tbh. But you know what? It personally helps ME stabilize myself if I keep to routines, because it feels like I'm still in control of some things in my life, and not everything's gone to crap. The worst…

Plugged in the values from that site: Saturated fat and cholesterol seems high per bar. How do these things work? Personally, I don't consider bars whose carb content outweighs protein as "protein bars". Amount Per Serving calories 199 % Daily Value * Total Fat 13 g 20 % Saturated Fat 8 g 39 % Monounsaturated Fat 3 g…

If you're going to use cauliflower, are you going to "rice" it first? I know cauliflower has a high water content, so I don't know if it would make your meatballs soggy.

I used to eat about... 500 calories' worth of tortilla chips. If I tried to eat that much calories' worth of bulkier food (broccoli/cauliflower/vegs), I'd be full before I got to a quarter of the calories. It's a matter of choosing more filling food that will fall within your macros.

See a doctor/nutritionist and ask for a plan to work with. With your background, and medical condition (that "stomach problem" thing especially), it might not be as simple as you think.

Don't bother with weight, go by measurement. It's not just water retention. You can be heavy but be well defined, because muscle is more dense than fat. Think of it this way, imagine 10 lbs of cotton candy vs a 10 lb bag of sugar. They weigh the same, but the amount of space the cotton candy takes up is a lot more. Fat is…

Water weight? If you ate a meal with tons of sodium, you can retain a lot of water. Or, ToM issues.

Lady better stay in a room with no windows, tv or books or anything. TV has food ads to sabotage her, books might refer to eating junk food, and OMG THE REAL WORLD! IT HAS JUNK FOOD IN ALL CORNERS! Waiting to sabotage her. The world is unsupportive of dieters.

Yeah, since beginning this, I haven't been near a bakery at all. I can't fit cinnamon rolls into my macros at all lol. So avoidance it is. I've also had to give up my nachos and popcorn and pizza. But, if I don't lose the fat for myself, no one will.

"It's raining, traffic will be bad to the gym" "OHHHHH period crampsssss" "I don't have time" "I feel like I don't have the energy" What I do? Look down at my thighs, and say "remember how much you don't like the extra fat on your thighs? At this rate, you're gonna be best friends for life if you keep giving into your bs…

A lot of restaurant websites have calories listed on their menu now, don't they? For those that do, log them if you go there. Add a cushion of a hundred calories or so. If they don't try to break it down as much as you can and log that.

The donuts, I don't have issues with. Maybe he's just being thoughtful? Also, you CAN make adjustments to your daily limit to allow this. The interruptions? Talk to him. Tell him that that hour is off-limits. It's like when he's watching his favorite TV Show/sports team/whatever. He doesn't want to be bothered then, so…

My self control is shaky at best, so I'm not about to challenge it.

Honestly? I'd sleep xD. It's either that or eat something like a couple of egg whites, then take some fiber (someone mentioned in another thread that taking psyllium husk keeps them full, I tried it, and works for me too). Because eating a full meal again would mean I'd have to workout hard the next day, which I'd rather…

"Week1". Your body is still adjusting. Relax. Keep doing the right thing, and you will see results. Also, patience is key or you'll be disappointed a lot.

Powerade has a lot of sodium, which might be an issue if you're watching that. A 32oz bottle has 375mg sodium, whereas Coke Zero has 107 for the same amount.

DIM SUM! Little packets of deliciousness. Not the western stuff like General Tso/Sesame Chicken, those are boring.

Buying protein doesn't really mean anything if you're not cutting calories. At the end of the day, if you ingest more calories than your body needs, you're gonna gain weight.
