Eating healthy turned me into a food snob
Just wondering if anybody has experienced this/noticed this in themselves since changing the way they eat. I used to eat some of the worst stuff, sweets whenever I wanted them, yknow. but now that I don't since I realized how bad my eating habits were affecting me, I tend to judge other people's. I think that unfortunately…

Thought I was ok but lost confidence from a simple comment
This may seem like no big deal to most people, but I am recovering from an eating disorder and just recently started gaining a positive body image. But yesterday I went to a physician (not my usual one) for a standard checkup and while she was pressing on my stomach, she said that I have a "nice, soft, belly". I was…

i just made awful cookies/ share your recipe failures
I decided to make some "skinny no-bake cookies" and found a recipe that was pretty simple... They weren't inedible but they were just... blah. kind of like sweetened dirt clumps i guess. By now I should have realized that "skinny" in the title of a recipe almost always guarantees boring and bland results. (ALMOST always)…

Basic overnight oatmeal
I've been making this for lunch the past few days and it keeps me full for hours, so I thought I'd share. It's a good recipe if you want oatmeal around this time of year when the weather is warmer. 1/2 cup rolled oats 1 cup any milk (I use blue diamond unsweetened plain almond) 1/4 cup yogurt yogurt (I use plain chobani) 4…

I'd like to not sabotage my weight loss efforts and log at least somewhat close to what i get at this sort of place.. .You know, roadside ice cream stands that carry hard ice cream brands but also have a…

Loggingdifferent types of biking
I'm starting to ride my bike more and always go on a mostly flat, but rocky and bumpy grass/dirt road trail. I was only going about 10-12 mph but there was a lot of resistance (why i was going so slowly). Would you count this as mountain biking? It's not extremely vigorous but is definitely harder than riding in the street…

I keep going over ALL of my macros... is this a problem?
So I eat pretty close to my limit since I feel that it is a bit low. I'm usually around 30 calories below my limit at the end of the day, but have been going over on my fats, carbs, and protein. I'm not concerned about protein, but at the end of the week when the extra fats and carbs add up, I'm wondering if these are…

Should I be counting this walking as exercise?
I walk everywhere for means of transportation. Four days out of the week I walk to class which is anywhere from 1.5 - 2.5 miles depending on the day. Also, now that the weather is nicer I'm going to try to walk at least this much on the weekend as well. I have never count the walking time it takes me to get to class, only…

Increasing intake to start losing again
My progress has definitely slowed recently. When I started counting, whenever I would stop losing, I would just reduce my intake until eventually I got down to 1200 and knew I couldn't go any further. I've been eating around 1250 for the past couple of months. I got kind of scarily obsessed with eating the exact right…
