Friday night I had a burger (just ground beef made into a patty and fried). Topped with a slice of cheese, some bacon, and an egg. Drizzled sugar free barbeque sauce over the top. It was perfect :)

I thought I was invincible against the stress eating now (that's how I feel while in Ketosis), but last night almost proved me wrong. We had a great night out, came home and everyone was in a good mood then my partner's 13yo flipped *kitten* because she didn't get her own way. Good mood gone, everyone stressed and pissed…

I want to want this, for all the obvious convenience and nutrition reasons, but I just can't mentally get my head around 1) raw egg, and 2) raw egg in coffee. Makes me want to gag just thinking about it.

If you eat carbs you'll want carbs. That simple. If I eat one slice of bread I will eat ALL the bread, for the next 3 months. If you don't eat carbs, it's only hard for about a week, then you should feel completely in control. Best thing about low carb IMO is not letting food control you.

Lol! Most of my toons are Horde, I just faction changed my main back to Alliance coz friends ...and I've just lost everyone else who posted on my thread :)

You are spot on Geraldine. It is most definitely an antisocial personality and you CAN'T fix it. Some people are born without the ability to feel any empathy or consideration to others. No amount of counseling can teach that. This child's mother is exactly the same. One minute she's going to welfare lying about how often…

I put my weight in every day so I can track the ups and downs. Today I was the same as yesterday. MFP posted on my wall "Shai74 has lost 0kg today!" Go me.

Interesting. I check my heart rate quite often with my Galaxy S5 and even lying down in bed it's over 90bpm. My partner is around 68bpm. Think Keto could be causing this?

You can have a really slow metabolism and be hungry all the time. Not being hungry does not indicate your metabolism is slowing down.

Last night I had a couple of skinless hotdog sausages with bacon wound around them and baked in the oven. My partner looked at them on my plate and said "so, you're trying to tell me that's diet food?" like I was mad. Lol.

Not counting food is fine if you are not hungry I guess. But I've tried eating only when I'm hungry and only as much as I need to be satisfied and I am constantly at about 2500 to 2800 cals. So gaining weight. There is clearly something wrong with me. I have to make a conscious effort to stay below 1800 a day.

She's been to a counselor yes. She lies through her teeth to them about how tough her life is, and gets the attention she's looking for - but when they won't help her get welfare so she can run away from home (and not go to school or get a job) she's no longer interested. She's currently "living" with her grandmother…

I WISH MFP WOULD ANNOUNCE WHEN I'VE GAINED. I'm so sick of getting "OMG well done" on my wall every time I lose the same 500g. It'll be all like "Shai lost .4kg" but say nothing about the 2.5kg I gained in the week before that. False praise *kitten* me. I'm okay with a public shaming if I put on weight :P

Lol, well our 16yo screamed abuse at us and slammed all the doors in the kitchen because we were having healthy meals for dinner. She would eat chips and cake and other *kitten* late at night after we went to bed, she even stole all of the protein bars I hid in my bedroom and then called me an effing lying btch and tried…

I don't think you can expect to lose 12lbs water weight in the first two weeks when you only weight 165lbs. If you're 250lbs maybe. You also said you've been low carbing for a month but didn't start logging til a few weeks ago. What's a few weeks? You need to give it time. You need to record everything, and be consistent.

My income has dropped by 2/3 in the last 12 months. My bills haven't. I know what "tight" means. I buy ground beef, eggs, bacon, butter, cheese, frozen green beans etc. I eat eggs ALOT. Lunch most days. I don't have breakfast, I take a coffee with me to work with 20g or so of butter whipped into it. I buy the homebrand…

Annie, I have a life of my own. I have a job, and friends, and a horse I ride regularly. I'm doing a degree in my "spare" time. I paint. I read. I am also a gamer. I am not glued to my partner all the time, nor do I need a man in my life to make me complete. I have been on my own. I divorced 6 years ago and spent 3 years…

Not harsh at all. I don't lack for confidence, there are alot of things I like about myself. I'm smart. I am a good person. I'm kind and supportive and yes, I can be funny, if you like dry sarcasm. I spend alot of time convincing people I'm all those things, I'm not just fat. My partner knows what I want from him. We've…

Yes ma'am. I ended up buying 2 for $1.39 from china. Works like a charm. :)

Right. Here's what you do. You get one of these: http://www.gocontigo.com/mugs/?mug_type=242 And one of these: http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/like/261830620868?limghlpsr=true&hlpv=2&ops=true&viphx=1&hlpht=true&lpid=107&chn=ps simple.

Wouldn't you just leave out the water? Maybe add a little baking powder if you want them to rise a bit?

This doesn't sound low carb. Banana's are very high carb, as is honey. Might be low GI maybe. I tend to make up a small tub with something like a cooked chicken thigh, a slice of bacon, a couple of dill pickles, maybe some cream cheese. And a coffee with butter whipped in.

I really appreciate you all taking the time to reply. I know we all have our demons to deal with otherwise we wouldn't comfort eat would we? I'm pretty sure no one WANTS to be overweight, and a lot of people get there by trying to fill a hole that won't be filled. We do it with food, and we do it with other people's…

Lol I've been out on a couple of dates in the past where guys have been all like "I just didn't feel a spark" after we've spent all afternoon drinking and talking and getting along really well. I'm not sure if they've watched the Notebook or something and decided they were going to hold out for "love at first site". I…

Thank you all for your replies. The scale has been going up every morning lately despite doing everything right, so that's frustrating. I know some of you might think I'm in an unhealthy relationship and I should find better but I don't think that's it. I've been in unhealthy relationships, I know the difference. I was…

I'm curious to know if you heard from him too. I've done online dating, and I have met quite a few people who "seem" great on the surface but are actually all sorts of wrong. If he'd been texting and emailing many times a day for 2 weeks, and then doesn't respond for even 24 hours, he's not interested. Not "he's busy, he…

I'm definitely a reader. I'll have a look, thanks.

You might need to go into Goals and reset your macros? I've had mine revert back to the "recommended" after an update.

It could be. There's evidence to suggest that the body reacts to artificial sweeteners the same way it reacts to sugar, provoking an insulin response. Some people are more sensitive than others. I can't have diet anything. If I have a bottle of diet ginger beer for example, with almost no carbs or calories, it kicks me out…

What to eat for breakfast? Very little. I take a coffee with me in the morning in my flask with coconut oil and butter whipped into it. I'm normally fine until lunchtime, and I like to save my cals til later in the day. That way I can eat a decent dinner with my partner and have some left over for a snack in front of the…
