OP is there a reason why cheat days can't be part of a lifestyle change? If people are losing weight with cheat days, then why wouldn't they be able to maintain on them as well? Your post doesn't make sense...

Hoard some calories for a day or two before the wedding and eat very lightly on the morning of the wedding... then don't worry about it. Have fun.. Eat the hors d'oeuvres in all their bacon-wrapped goodness, have some drinks, enjoy your meal, have a slice of cake. Just don't let one evening of fun bleed into the next day.

What is your definition of fasting?

I do the same thing. I love that it really opens up the options for me.. I don't have to look for things in my size! Right now, if it's between a 12 and an 18 I'll buy it if it's something I love.. then I just hope I'll fit into it during the right season!

Some of the following foods need refrigeration for the long term, but will be fine for 8 hours while you're in the office: Humus with veggies, hard boiled eggs, popcorn. beef jerky(maybe not healthy due to nitrates, but high in protein and low in calories) fruit, cheese sticks, nuts, dried fruit, green and blacks 85% dark…

I do not have celiac.. I do not adhere to STRICT GF eating. I DO however avoid all obvious sources of wheat due to autoimmune issues I have. I had migraines (at least weekly or MORE), hypoactive thyroid, acid reflux, tenitius, frequent bouts of vertigo and rheumatoid arthritis. I was a MESS! I did a 30 day juice fast and…

***HAPPY DANCE*** Congratulations. Next to taking off your bra after a long day... Fitting into a pair of pants that previously couldn't fit one leg is the BEST feeling in the world.

Facial fat is associated with youth. You're 18. Give it a few years.

I love to eat the whole egg and I hate to see people not eating them because they think yolks are the devil.......HOWEVER.. there have been times in the past where I needed more protein but couldn't afford all the calories of the yolk, so I'd eat just the white meh, we do what we have to do to stay under our calories…

I consign what I can and the rest gets donated just as soon as they're even the slightest bit large. When I bring my clothes in to consign or donate, I walk out with replacements that are about a size too small so I always have a reserve of clothes I can shrink into!

I think he was pedaling gym membership or some weight loss product or his personal training services for a fee. This has happened to me twice before.. each time it turned out that the person was selling something.

I've gone through long periods where I've not eaten anything prepackaged or fast foods.. I even lived in third world countries where these things are not even options where our meals consisted of fruits and veggies we grew, goats our neighbors raised, dairy products we processed ourselves (yogurt and "village cheese")…

I spent the afternoon with my husband at the American WWII cemetery of North Africa. We walked for 5 hours around the cemetery and also around Carthage and down to the sea. When we were down by the sea, we couldn't find a Taxi to bring us home so we had to walk uphill to a main street to flag a cab. WHAT A WONDERFUL…

This morning I had one egg with a Tablepsoon of shredded cheese, two very small fresh and still hot corn tortillas, some fresh salsa and onions and peppers fried in a teaspoon of butter. ZOMG!!!!!I made my husband deep fried apple pies for breakfast so I needed something equally delicious for myself. I would eat like this…

Don't assume that one of those bikes that has you sitting straight up is going to be more comfortable.. They're not. Don't assume that just because you're fat, if you're fat, I don't even know if you're fat but if you are..... don't assume that you need a big wide padded saddle. I am 235 pounds with a LOT of that weight in…

I'm glad to hear it!

GRAPE NUTS with a spoon of honey. ZOMG! Of all the foods I miss since not being able to eat wheat, grapenuts is what I miss the most!

I love to have taco or fajita meat on hand. it's easy to prepare, flavorful, no empty calories, and will keep for days in the fridge. You just come home nuke the premade meat and build a taco on a tortilla, flatbread or romaine lettuce leaf. Lentil soup: take a pot, put a bit of oil in it. toss 1/4 cup chopped onion, 1/2…

I don't have kids but divorce was still scary. My poor exhusband became extremely mentally disturbed and paranoid and had a total breakdown and refused treatment. He wound up fleeing the country, convinced that I was out to get him. We had a wonderful relationship and never even had a serious argument. it took me two years…

I'm sleeved and the only thing I use differently is I eat my food from salad or dessert plates. I still use all the same kitchen tools as before I was sleeved. I can't speak for ALL types of weight loss surgery, but with getting sleeved, the only thing that changes is that you eat smaller portions. You of course want to…

UG.. those make me CRINGE.. and I don't find it acceptable at ALL.

I wasn't aware that criticizing someone because of their body was socially acceptable. Period.

YAY!

The colder you keep your fridge the longer things will stay fresh. I like to keep my fridge on the cold side. I keep a thermometer in it to make sure the setting is right and temp is 35 degrees. A too warm refrigerator and things will spoil much more quickly. When my fridge is set at 35 degrees, I will eat left overs for…

The potassium supplements you can buy OTC are VERY VERY VERY low potency. You would need to take 40 pills to reach 4,000 mg of potassium!!! If you need to take a supplement, then to get one that will make any difference, it needs to by by prescription only. In the early months following my weight loss surgery while my…
