Wow, thank you so much everyone for those suggestions. It is really helpful. and you know, the protein bars are such a perfect way to get that plus the protein that will fill me up. I did kinda get rid of the bad stuff in my house, plus I've been thinking, if I really want it, I'll go to the store to get it. I feel so much…

Thank you all, you're right. It's pretty bad. I could look into testing. I know hypothyroid managing with meds. I may need More protein. Thoughout the week I can definitely get good meals. If I work on this knowingly, I can make things better right? I'm not damaged for good am I?

That's good advice! I wonder if this would be an accurate way of describing g it but i get exhausted and I feel sugar is a pick me up. Then I crave it and give in

hi! I love to rollerblade. I used to figureskate in my teens (i'm 22 now). I used to skate during my private lessons, do free skating private sessions, and do public sessions. And rollerblade when I couldn't do that! Now i just rollerblade, or jog :)

I'm so sorry for the confusion..Fast typing :( I'm not trying to bulk, but more gain muscle, lose fat. I would say that I may be trying to maintain my body weight at this point . I don't purposefully eat a surplus, more than anything I have triggers of food that will eventually put me into way past a 250 calorie surplus…

If you use Scooby's Workshop Calorie Calculator, you can figure out the amount to eat with added exercise (TDEE) -5, 10, 15, 20, and 25%. That may be able to figure out for you with exercise included. Good luck!

Thank you all ! I appreciate the looking into it by a scientific standpoint, as well as what you said ViktoryaC...I have been learning to embrace it.

Thank you! That's what I thought i found a long time ago, but I couldn't find it, probably from not using the right wording in google. I appreciate the info!

That's how I'm feeling. I wouldn't blame the medicine per se, just the mentality, satiety, etc. Thank you for letting me know about your story

That's a good idea. Before I was keeping myself up on eating. So now i"ll just have to work on that. I appreciate the info!

Good idea! I really need to start relying on that and veggies, when the cravings hit. Thank you!

Hey everyone thank you! Lately I've been eating more than normal, but still exercising. I just invested in some weights at home so I can start doing strength training, and hopefully put on more lean muscle versus having all this food convert to fat. The BF caliper is a great suggestion, I wasn't aware it was available or…

That really helps and I guess I would say that the less height=less room to screw up or maybe that's a misconception as well lol. But thank you so much that helps me alot!

Thank you! I appreciate all comments, including those that state that I shouldn't take any excuses. That being said: some of the foods are in celebration of my milestones, and yes, I'm actually not able to calculate them. I try to have a little of each but who knows what it is in the end. I don't have a scale where I am…

Thank you all I really appreciate that, and you're right its my resolve. i've had a time like this where I've ate so poorly and without moderation; but I was able to handle it in the end and get back to where i was. :) I appreciate the kind words!

Hey everyone thank you for the answer! It helps alot :)

Bump!

That helps and you're right. I want to be strong. i'd like to eat without the obsessing over how much i'm eating as long as I'm getting enough good food in me yet still being happy about myself. Thank you for your input, it's greatly appreciated!

40 miles, with 5 miles down (i'm including Aug 1st!)-Rollerblading :)

if it helps, to replace, I've been using a sugar-free powdered creamer for my coffee. 1 tablespoon (1 serving) usually does so much more for me than what liquid creamer does. I couldn't answer you on the other stuff though. Good luck!

I rollerblade, and I'm trying to jog now. When I first started, since I had a sit down job, i looked at just eating calories back from a maintain standpoint...I was freaking hungry ALL the time. Then I went to TDEE--now I eat 2050 calories a day, and I think I'll follow a runner's diet -60% carb, 20% protein, 20% fat.…

awesome I will definitely try that out! I appreciate the advice and suggestions!

my weight has been maintaining at this level. i haven't really paid much attention to the Macro part of dieting unfortunately. I do feel like I will jump the gun and eat when I'm not hungry. That may play a big part in my getting hungrier later in the day, because by that time i have "nothing left in the bank"

Yeah i'm essentially trying to maintain my weight (114 at 5'4") on 2050 per day with exercise throughout the week. I typically eat oatmeal in the morning, sandwich or soup for lunch, rice and chicken for dinner, and then it's almonds, yogurt, carrots, or string cheese as my two snacks. I am for 300-500 for large meals, 200…

i don't normally lift weights, it was the one time (and they weren't strenuous weights). But both are valid points, I may have to up it even based on what I do. I think I saw once it's not how much you weigh, but how your body is in size wise. Thank you!

I do my exercises outside in Arizona, rollerblading/jogging, so yeah it's hot here. Maybe if you have to walk that far, you could bring a camelback (a backpack with a water bladder inside that has a tube that extends out). That way you don't run out of water :)

Lately: Passion Pit, Modest Mouse, Breathe Carolina, Gorillaz, Sufjan Stevens, Yeah Yeah Yeahs.

These are all great suggestions! I already have my alarm clock ready for 3:45, because I want to have that 15 minutes to "wake up". But i definitely want to work out in the morning. And sleep is definitely a must. Thank you all :)

since it's summer here in AZ i have to switch to day, vs. Night. that's the only reason I have to actually get myself up to exercise. Other than that, exercising at night makes me sleepier :)
