Also, you're creating a safety net for your ego by making yourself out to be a victim as soon as you fail (which you will, if you continue estimating things instead of doing them correctly), by making silly comments "I'm eating edamame while skinny people eat pizza." You don't know how much they're eating that entire day,…

You can't out-speedwalk your fork. Eating "unprocessed" foods means nothing in terms of weight loss. Maybe to health and general nutrition (though that's debatable), but not weight lost. If you don't weigh, you don't know what you're eating. Simple fact. I'm 5'4, my family is overweight. They're overweight because they…

Exercise is for fitness, calories are what affect weight. If you aren't 100% accurate in calculating your intake of calories (read: estimating is doing it wrong), you can not be 100% certain you're burning the amount of calories you think you are. I guarantee you're not only estimating on tomatoes.

So eat the 1000-1200 calories instead.

It sounds more like she's concerned about you doing this ridiculous diet, she's not putting you down. Everyone's asking you completely valid questions like "why not just eat the same amount of calories and learn how to manage your diet/weight?" How about you think on that, instead.

A person can easily get 30lbs overweight by estimating several seemingly innocuous things wrong every day for an extended period of time. It all adds up.

Just wow.

Who knows, how much does hair weigh?

I hope you're being honest with yourself about every little handful of this or that.

Come back to us in 8 months.

I understand the mindset behind why you'd feel embarrassed by it. Depression has a lot of other side-effects, one of the most common is the shame/embarrassment of not feeling the way you believe you're supposed to. I suffer from depression as well. Sometimes it's manageable, sometimes I want to hide away, other times I get…

You look like Jamie Alexander in the second pic!

An abusive relationship with (bonus points) a chef, two deaths of people I was very close to, being laid off and then unemployed for 8 months, and the depression that came with all that.

I believe you. "Gullible" isn't in the dictionary, either. Crazy, right?

So, if I ask hard enough, and believe hard enough, I can recieve undying love from one Lee Pace?

My problem has never been my weight, so, no. I exercise so that I'm physically fit for when I find my drift-compatible.

I'd look into the return policy.

Looks like I beat the crowd. I'll have a seat in the back.

Do something that will both keep you busy and get in the way of eating. Paint your nails. I sure as hell don't want to get crumbs or smudges on a fresh manicure.

McDonald's is probably the easiest fast food establishment for me to work with, tbh. They're very clear with thier calories and nutritional information.

I'll take your share!

Balut.

Your own tears. I had a month-long nightmare with an abcess/root canal earlier this year. I was terrified to eat for a little while.

THANK YOU.

Salmon Belly sashimi, and Uni.

When I'm cooking, I weigh the meat raw.

I'm actually due for next week and am a little flabbergasted that my scale showed a drop. I only logged half of that loss, because I'm a little distrustful. We'll see the truth at the end of next week, lmao.

You would be correct in your assumption that you may gain some water weight. These posts happen all the time, and all across the board the gains vary wildly from 1lb to 5lbs for some, and others don't gain at all. Just wait until after your TOM to weigh yourself, so you don't stress yourself out unnecessarily.

I weigh sporadically during the week, I only log when I see a substantial loss, which means at this point, only every other week or so.
