Well that's good, but try taking the vitamin with something like olive oil or coconut oil (any fat will do) Most vitamins absorb more efficiently when taken with a lipid. I hope that helps :) And try getting outdoors more if you can - even when its overcast a little daylight and fresh air go a long way

Are you low in vitamin D? In the winter months I often get severely depressed from lack of sun. It really sucks and can totally derail my progress both in the gym and the kitchen.

My favorite ;)

Omg, I know! Cereal is like ambrosia lately - when I have it for breakfast its just kinda Meh but when I have the exact same cereal for dessert its like the most amazing thing ever! (I'm eating a bowl right now lol)

Yet another brilliant, effortless way to look like a supermodel while lying on the couch eating chocolate!!

If you soak cinnamon in hot water it congeals and gets a snot-like texture - so gross! I used to try adding a little cinnamon to my coffee for calorie-free flavor but I couldn't get past the weird slimy glob *shudders*

Yeah, I really do have a lot of respect for people who are able to go vegan - but forcing everyone to listen to their rants can be really off-putting. I only have one vegan friend and thankfully she does not invade other people's lives with her ideals. She does post a lot of anti-cruelty articles and if you ask her about…

Are you certain that you actually eating 2300+ calories every day? Your perception of portion sizes may still be skewed from your ED. If you aren't measuring and weighing foods already, I'd say that would be a great place to start
-
Be patient, I'm sure your body needs time to adjust to the added calories. Good job on addressing your illness and actively trying to improve your health.

Make room in your budget for chocolate. Last night I had a bowl of cereal and 2 Bueno Chocolate Eggs and was still under my goal.

I've tried to do the whole "don't eat after 7/8pm" thing but its really not necessary and I always ended up going to bed hungry, couldn't sleep because I was hungry, sleep in cuz I couldn't sleep, don't have time for breakfast because I slept in, then I get to lunch the next day and eat ALL THE FOOD. So no. I don't…

Well this month I am eating under 1800 calories, working out at least 4 days a week and doing burpees every day.

When I was told that I would just challenge them to an arm wrestle and win, then tell them that they were too skinny lol

The premeasured packets are nice because there is less guesswork but you can make your own for cheaper and you can add your own flavors to it. I like to add ground flax and ground chia (1/2tbsp each), plus a little cinnamon and tsp of honey. Some days I'll mix in diced apples or a little yogurt to mix it up.
-
I tend to drink a ton of water also and my bladder is well-accustomed to it (Plus I have very strong kegels lol) But if for some reason I go a week of drinking less than usual then I go back up, I will find myself peeing far more frequently. Try upping your intake more gradually and work on strengthening your pelvic floor…

I don't eat rice very often, but when I do I usually go with whole grain basmati because it smells like heaven. I tried the white basmati but it isn't nearly as aromatic.

I say "I'd rather be a solid 150lbs than a soft 120"

Yeah this one is annoying but I usually don't say anything because I know what they "meant" (even if they said it completely wrong).

Fair enough

Do you mean koala bears? Because a Panda actually IS a bear...

I rarely eat them because they aren't readily available at my local grocer, also I'm the only one in my family who likes them so I tend to buy thing that everyone will eat instead. But yes, I love them, the buttery, smooth texture is incredible
-
Yep, exactly. In fact that's a perfect example. Some days I absolutely love cleaning and will spend hours spiffing up and organizing every obscure corner of my house - and other days I can barely muster the energy to load up the dishwasher and pick up toys. But I still get it done. Same goes for working out, sometimes I am…

If I eat breakfast before 8am then I always plan my snack for 10am. That gives me a boost to make it until lunch. then I have an afternoon snack at 3-4 and dinner between 5-7 plus dessert at 8-9. My meals usually run between 300-500 cal and snacks between 100-200 cal. Drink plenty of water and don't try to cut out all the…

I thought Oprah was the queen of fad diets. She's been yo-yo dieting since before I was born

Try making it a wine spritzer with soda water - it will extend the wine without adding extra calories and it will 'slow' your alcohol consumption so you can make better decisions. Drink a glass of water for every serving of alcohol consumed - it will help prevent hangovers (and the subsequent crappy food choices) and it…

My dad has quirky habits similar to this one. For example, every time we watch a movie he will wait until the most intense, dramatic moment of the show and then *pause* "Hey time for a snack, who's hungry? This movie sucks, lets go do a workout! Hey who wants to play a game of cards?" and he will just wander off with the…

People who make me repeat myself - I f@ck*ng hate having to say something a dozen times. Especially to adults.

How long til this thread gets shut down, anybody have a guess-timate?

For me guy/guys is a gender-neutral term (since the english language is sadly lacking in that department) But I also call everyone 'dude' so I'm probably not the right one to ask lol Just don't ever call me a lady - its just weird.
