Losing weightas an introvert.
Losing weight as an introvert can be difficult because it can be hard to get out and start moving nor are you always willing to reach out for support. I have discovered another side-effect of losing weight: people keep talking to you. Ive been losing weight since December and counting calories since March. Recently people…

Not hungry? Under calories
Today, i wasn't nearly as hungry as normal and ended up below 1000 calories. I considered making myself eat something calorie dense but i didn't want to encourage previous compulsive eating habits to return.

First Scale Victory and NSV

I couldnt eat for around a week, although i tried to force myself when i could and then i could eat very little for a couple months. I obviously lost a lot of weight during this time without trying. I got…

Totally weird
So the last week included what would have been my deceased husbands 27th birthday. I've continued to log my calories but have gone over almost everyday (im doing TDEE @ 1697 calories) and have eaten snack foods and pizza almost everyday. I had been at this road block of 180 lbs, couldn't get below it and suddenly dropped…
