Situations where you made desperate food choices
Hi everyone! I was just reflecting on my weight-loss journey and I remembered a very silly situation I was in. First, some background about myself: I was a 4th-year university student when this happened. I was about to quit my job in 2 months and I was living as frugally as I could. I worked during the day and went…

Extra long hair and working out?
I hope there are other people here with extra long hair! I've been growing my hair for about 3~4 years now, and it's almost down to my tailbone, at the moment. It's on the thick and straight side and I still plan on growing it. Lately, it's been bothering me as the weather is getting hotter, and I'm increasing the…

The different kinds of fats
First off, let me start by saying that I am NOT worried about fats making me fat. I don't believe in that. I've long learned that I can lose just fine while still consuming said "bad" nutrients. Anyway, I was curious about the different kinds of fats and current research out there concerning them. Does the kind of fat…

So many NSVs today!
So today, my weigh-in day, I'm within 3 pounds of my lowest weight from high school. I am feeling so so ecstatic about it right now! However, I want to remind myself to also think about other positive changes in my life so here it goes: - I walked for 3 hours straight and enjoyed seeing the world around me while doing so.…

I need help with finding more protein options
Hi everyone! I have been working on my eating habits on MFP for a little over a month now. Lately, I've been wanting to start working on my macros and hitting my goals. It seems like I tend to have more carbs and fats and too little protein (I'm still working on planning my "treats" into my days). The problem is, the only…

Self-Motivating NSV
I'm having a little trouble accepting that I ate over my calorie goal today. Logically, I know that it will not significantly hinder my progress over a longer span of time. I decided to reflect over a couple of NSVs I've experienced this week: NSV 1: On Thursday, I got invited to go to the school's pool, but I did not have…

Weight loss denial?
I don't know how weird this experience will sound; I hope that maybe others on here might be able to relate. I have this problem with being in denial about the amount of weight I lose, especially if it's just 1 pound. See, I have gone through such a long period of yoyoing around the same 5 pounds that unless I break that…

Temptation right in front of me!
The student in front of me in the student union is totally chowing down in front of me! It smells like greasy Chinese takeout and I haven't had something like that in quite a while. At the same time, I am very hungry and waiting to go home so I can eat. :c I feel like it's really hard to not think about all the unhealthy…

Lovin' MFP at the moment!
Hello everyone! It's almost my first full week of MFP! I'm so excited because this tool is exactly what I needed to kick my butt into gear. I'm currently already 2 months into my new healthier lifestyle and it's been feeling good so far. I joined because I had injured my foot two weeks ago and I backpedaled a little when…
