Greek yogurt has around 12g of protein and around here they run for about $1 each. That's not super cheap, especially if you buy lots of them at once, but it's quite a bit of protein in a single serving.

She said that I should try to make dietary changes (though she didn't say what...) and I have an appointment to come back in three months. I'll get all new blood work then and see where I'm at with it. If it's not better, then she wants to talk about meds. :( I'm going to work hard to get this under control. I don't want…

Hahaha wow. This was awesome/terrifying.

Well, I can see that point, too. I am certainly not the kind of person who will cut out food groups or remove all sugar from my diet. In fact, I am kind of the opposite, where I will eat whatever and as long as I can come close to my calorie and macro goals, I am happy. But with these two particular issues, I thought that…

See, that sounds wonderful! And it's what I expected, especially the bit about getting what you need for your particular condition. I am so glad to hear that you guys think it was bad advice too. It was just so bizarre, and even when I sat there I didn't know what to say when she told me to stop tracking my food and…

Are you also working out? If you are, then I wouldn't worry too much about the extra calories (except maybe on days when you are really going WAY over). You do need a surplus to gain muscle, so it's good that you're having the extra calories. I am a firm believer in eating yummy things, so if you're getting some of your…

Wait...you upped your calories to 1200? What were they before?

If you can control yourself, have the daily treat! It's okay. But if you're unable to control how much you eat, then maybe it might be better to keep it out of the house, at least for awhile. I am IN LOVE with cookie butter, and I have no control over myself. Like, none whatsoever. I will eat that whole effing jar. So, to…

The man your man could smell like?

I sit in front of the TV and watch some good shows and I eat. Then again, I don't recommend that route. That's why I'm here. haha

Lol well you seemed shocked that someone might eat past the point of satisfaction. "Go to the doctor and get tested!"

New rule, inspired by another thread: don't work out in the evenings. Only noobs and losers do that.

I eat past the point of satisfaction all the time--it's how I got fat. I eat until I'm stuffed. Just because you do that doesn't mean you have a serious medical disorder! It's called "Damn, this food is delicious and I'm gonna eat it all" syndrome. Fortunately, a scale helps me calm that problem down a bit, and it gives me…

No escape from reality.

Now I want BBQ chips...

This is *exactly* why I bought a digital scale. I was measuring out everything and one day this happened to me--with chips! I realized that I was stuffing in a bunch of little ones and justifying it by saying "well, it's still half a cup" or whatever the measurement was. Food scale: totally accurate. No cheating. :)

:drinker:

This thread:

Exactly this. I kind of love when kids stumble onto the site and troll everyone. It's terrible but it's so, so entertaining.

They do...in high schools all over the country. :laugh:

I know, right? Makes me think that this poster is quite young, really.

I try to be super honest with people, but sometimes not saying anything is nicer than giving an honest opinion. Maybe these people don't think you look better, so instead of lavishing fake compliments on you, they just abstain from saying anything at all. I do this all the time when people get new haircuts that are not…

That's so awesome. I don't think I've been a medium since...high school? Middle school? Haha. So that is a great accomplishment!

Agree on eating more. At your weight, 1300 cals is far below your BMR.

You also can't wear cute outfits, apparently.

:drinker:

Wonderful!

That was....wow. But this thread might be better.

Every single episode="Next up, we'll tell you the shocking weight loss secret that they won't tell you about." Ridiculous quackery. Anyone who tries to tell you that there's a secret weight loss drug/food/drink is a liar. Plain and simple.

Nice!! Your hair is cute, too.
