In high school I was at my highest weight of 135. That's when my own parents pointed out I was "a bit chubby". Being only 4'11, every spare lb shows. Every calorie counts. I was ashamed of my weight (still am), and always wore this huge sweater to cover as much of my body as possible. I've managed to drop the sweater,…

Breakfast! Especially cereal and waffles :love:

The three most effective things that have kept me from eating just one more thing: - Brush teeth instead. Now I've brushed my teeth already, and the food won't taste that great anyways. - A long look in the mirror while holding the food item in question. Think of the goal, and what this could do to sabotage it. - Remember…

Wow! Sounds like a very busy life. Best of luck, Mickala, and congratulations on the 35! Every lb is like a miniature victory - at least to me :)

If you don't mind seeing my long-winded posts (profile is a good example), and feel down or need to vent, I'm told I'm a good shoulder to cry on. Hang in there; we're all rooting for you and your health!

When I had trouble with eating too much, I used these tricks to help stop that craving: - Ate something extremely spicy/hot. May not be an option if you have heartburn/acid reflux/other, but I ate just enough to make me stop & curb the craving. - Drank a lot of something hot. Cold drinks can curb it just as well, depends…

I totally get what you mean. I try to only give the healthiest advice on here, but it's always best to see a doc/dietician & see what they say is fine for you. My best friend in HS had an ED, I let her lean on me for emotional support, but she was doing the best she could: seeing a psychiatrist & getting the advice she…

Hi Roxy. To be honest, you may need to experiment with it a while, if not able to see a dietician. [Personal experience:] To lose weight, (for most folks, including myself) there needs to be a slight calorie deficit. Otherwise, can try to burn off the excess, but that can lead to muscle-gain and therefore some slight…

Hello! I'm also new, but have succeeded losing weight on a few plans. Stopped for a long time, very depressed. Now beginning a new & different experience. Partly to learn & share!, partly for health reasons (diabetic family). (Ignore the below if you don't want advice from a non-dietician/me:) [In my personal experience:]…

I don't know if you like guacamole (not everyone's thing, that's for sure!) but if you do, there's a ton of good recipes out there for spinach-guacamole dip; with/without onions, etc. It's good for flavoring up a lot of foods.

I'm also new here & also on a low-carb. I quit cold-turkey on the sugar-laden high-carb stuff. (My body hates me for it :tongue: ) Decided to try it out after looking at r/keto, (low-carb recipes and advice show up often there, may be worth a look) which led me to this site. Best of luck to you, always remember (especially…
