Hi. That's it. No staring, no whistling, no leering. If she wants to talk she will let you know. If not move on. I for one prefer not to talk at the gym

Don't be a jerk. don't act like we owe you anything. accept a "no" as a standalone answer without needing further explanation. Don't be desperate. Do nice things without expecting a cookie for it. Don't whine about being "friend zoned". Be yourself.

Yep. those are the fruit shakes that expand muscles: All of those listed above.

Start with low impact exercise, like cycling and swimming. Don't destroy your knees, you won't get them back! That's why they tell you to see a doctor before you start exercising.

Read "thin women's brain", it's essentially CBT and I really liked it!

Good luck. Try to change the habit instead of just being on a diet, you want to make it stick otherwise you will be back for the fourth, fifth, sixth time! You can do it!!

Collards and kale as example, dark green leafy veggies as well as fortified foods. Doesn't have to be milk products.

No it doesn't actually. ;)

Run, don't walk. Skip the marriage counselor, your entire message sound like you have your answer already but don't actually want it to be true.sorry...

I hope you also thanked the medical personnel for helping you while you were praying. And the researchers who are finding new medication while are are desinfecting the next strain immune to antibiotics. :neutral:

No it's not. Unless the plant has become toxic.

Correlation does not equal causation.

Personally: I wan to look like mysef. But I want to be healthy doing so and being overweight is unhealthy (bit is fine but more is bad) . In general: because humans are insecure and are social animals, we want to be part of the group (accepted).

I just read "the thin woman's brain" it was rather enlightening and I am working on it. Essentially the premise is that thin people eat what they want but they naturally stop before they are super full and their brain can distinguish hunger from boredom/sad/annoyed/thirsty.

I hear you! I bought a tiny bag of smokes almonds at Starbucks last weekend thinking it's more healthy than the cakes. Fortunately I scanned it before opening it, it had over 300cal for 50g (one bag). I gave the bag away and just had the coffee. My big tip is log before you eat.

you might be building muscle. Or overeating.. depending on your fitness level.

Hot tea is still great, never goes out of style. Try some other flavours, lemon lime, ginger lemon....etc

Grill it. Baked feta is delicious. Also fits in any mixed green salad. Mix it with your mixed veggies stew. Pretty much anything.

I found logging before I eat really helps. This morning I grabbed some nuts at Starbucks ("healthier choice") and logged it before I opened the pack. I am glad because the tiny 50g bag would have clocked in at over ,300cals. Could have had the croissant! I gave the bag away.

Vanilla soy milk, almond milk, rice milk. Personally not a fan of hemp milk but people like that too.

Yeah, apparently those are just lose projections, I wouldn't worry too much about it. But yes, if you eat less than your TDEE you lose weight. Like magic but not.;) ETA: don't listen to the long timers, some are jaded and I found a few that have support issues. Trust yourself.

Alpro soy (sweetened)

It's a solely Canadian thing. I try to explain it to people but they just stare at me like I am nuts....but they are missing our :)

Yup, worked ;)

This might be a cultural thing but your post is condescending and not cool. maybe you are just hangry. Who knows. Not helpful. Anyhow. Maybe I didn't explain my issue well: If my fasting would be midnight to midnight, MFP would tell me I ate 500 calories that day. But if I do 8-8, I have to check the day before I have…

Hi all, I have a question.so I did my first fast day yesterday. I ate under 500 cal because I was waiting for dinner and then dinner fell after the end of the fast time. So according to my tracking I ate 850 calories yesterday but within the fast time (8pm-8pm) I was under. Is that normal? Am I accidentally cheating?

Agreed, schedule it in and don't beat yourself up!

religion: you need to back off, pronto, unless you value conversion rate over a good life and your friends.I agree your dad sound hash but he is right. and if your best friend tells you are pushing people away, listen to them. I agree with OP, you might want to sound to a therapist about all that .

Hahaha!
