True. They do know that much. But do they know which foods are better or worse for you, in any sense? Kids love sweets. My family was mildly obese growing up. We ate pre-packaged Betty Crocker food and counted that as home cooking. I thought canned peas and carrots counted as my vegetables for the day. I think when we talk…

I think part of the problem, also, is that your list contains obvious risks. I can see the danger in an oncoming car. I can see the sharpness of the knives. I can't intuitively sense the danger in fad diet pills or rapid weight loss. Before doing the research a couple of years back, I thought it was perfectly normal and…

You might try going to your doctor. Since a woman with PCOS is sensitive to insulin levels (and carbs) it can be helpful for weight loss to get on something like metformin to help regulate that blood sugar. I'd keep pressing on it until you figure out what IS going on, if it's not PCOS. I definitely echo the lower-carb,…

I wasn't too big a fan of veggies either, actually. Not sure where it changed in there, but I'd say keep trying prep styles until you really decide you don't like the veggies - vary the ratios too. Maybe you can tolerate eggplant if it's got lots of onion. I dunno. But try grilling, steaming, and roasting too. You might…

This. Hahaha.

Join the club. Started when I was six. My dad let me play an eagle and I'd fly around the battles and do like 1d2 of damage (I also rolled the dice for the monsters when my dad was the GM). I was twelve with a tenth level druid and there would be adults who didn't believe I'd actually played enough D&D to get to that on my…

Just keep at it. 12 minute mile by August is totally doable and it sounds like you're not afraid to push yourself. I prefer interval training personally, because it helps to keep things interesting. The MapMyWalk/MapMyRun app could be good for you too if you have a smart phone because it'll report your time and average…

In OP's case, if maintaining is the goal, I suppose that advice is fine. Maybe try working those extra calories in over the week instead of bingeing on one day. For me personally, I cannot just eat "however" I want -- because my habits (which easily overwhelm bodily urges) are overeating and eating sweets in particular.…

Oatmeal for sure. Some nut butter (pb, almond, etc.) and some milk makes it tasty and filling. Cinnamon is must, imo. If you're more of a savory breakfast type, try spices and mushrooms, or turkey bacon crumbles (or nutritional yeast if you have some). I personally find protein powder in my oatmeal disgusting. I've tried a…

Losing. I typically try to eat every couple of hours. Over the summer, when I worked, it was easier eating 200-300 calorie meals every 2-3 hours (and I'd actually feel hungry every couple of hours). With my school schedule, I unfortunately sometimes go closer to 6 hours without eating (not recommended! Your blood sugar…

Age: 21 Height: 5'5"? CW: 170-175 GW: 140? (Or whatever ends up looking healthy. I haven't been a healthy weight since 6th grade.)

Thanks for the ideas!

Everything everyone else has said. Haha. Nutty, similar to rice, can be crunchy. The only problem I have with it is that I always get some stuck in my molars. :|

I've been making crockpot quinoa for breakfast, which has been really nice to eat (when I remember!). I make it a ~3-3 1/2 cup crock pot. Basically, 2 1/2 c. milk or broth 1/2 c. quinoa It makes ~2-3 servings. Onto this, you just add whatever you like. I've made it with frozen blueberries and walnuts, jalapenos and…

I've taken to making quinoa in a crock pot for an easy oatmeal-esque breakfast, but it could totally be something you prepare in the morning for an easy dinner. 1/4 c. quinoa 2 1/2 c. broth, water, or milk (depending on your preference) cook overnight on low. My crock pot only has 1 setting (high), so I usually up the…

Aside from every other reason listed (emotional, etc), I've noticed I use it as a punishment tool. I get into funks where I'm severely down on myself and use it as a way to remind myself how pathetic, weak-willed and ugly I am. :/ Usually I can't stop the binge, but it's always nice to get up, move around and chew some gum…

Basically whatever I wanted, whenever I wanted, even if I wasn't hungry. A lot of my problem stems from boredom eating. If I don't have anything else to do, why not eat? I also have a horrible sweet tooth and can (still D: ) eat an entire pint of ice cream in one sitting, or a whole angel food cake. I'm also an envious…
