How can you help?

Come talk to me! Quote me to make sure I see you! Ask me what vegetable I ate today. Ask me what exercises I did and when. Tell me to get on the scale and check my weight, I'm not shy! Ask me what the last few things I bought were, how much they were, why I needed them. Ask me if I've been eating crap- sweets, food processed to hell, alcohol, whatever. I tend to go for a lower-calorie diet so ask how I'm doing with that!

What kind of food do you buy now that you think you'll remove from your shopping list in order to achieve your goal?

Okay so the thing about me- I go shopping with great intentions but I am easily distracted and prone to impulse buying lmfao. But I usually don't buy much bad stuff! My fiancé gets cereal and pasta and soup for himself, but I don't eat those. I generally buy eggs and fruit for myself. And the occasional vegetable. We don't buy bread or anything. I live simply. BUT the biggest no-no we buy is frickin. Frozen pizza. They're too cheap and too easy. I think I'm gonna cut those out and just. Make Ian get something else haha. And stop it with the brie and crackers? The brie is fine but eating it plain is gross so I buy crackers and then... I eat crackers. Also I definitely need to take M&Ms off our subscribe and save shipments what am I DOING even.

okay so! what I need to do is! cancel frozen pizza and brie and m&ms. Good start okay!

Do you plan your meals ahead of time? One of the things I've learned from running a grocery store and studying how people make their choices, is there are ultimately 2 types of shoppers. A lot of people will come into the store, probably with good intentions, but don't really have any meals planned so they shop impulsively. They buy what looks good, whats quick, and whats familiar. And then you have the people that will only buy products for meals they intend to make and nothing more.

Planning meals is something I'm going to do to help with my grocery shopping. I feel like with a plan I can track my nutrition and stuff much easier, and stay away from the impulse buys, instead of just buying a ton of random crap and eating whatever whenever. I used to get frozen pizzas, too, but then one day I looked at the calories and sodium and was just like...never again.

I've started getting heartburn from most frozen pizzas and im like oh god why lmao

I don't really plan meals, no, but I also don't really. Eat meals, you know? I buy my basic ingredients (fresh or frozen veggies, fruit, eggs, maybe some other protein like fish) and then... that's all I eat. Coffee (well, half coffee and half cream) and fruit for breakfast, eggs and vegetable for lunch, and ... pizza... for dinner lol is usually how it goes. I don't like to cook at all so I just do that? I think it's fine, I just have to not... look at sales...

thanks mawa babe <3

Have you thought about sushi? Before you go "ewww" and complain about eating raw fish, they do have sushi with cooked fish and veggie sushi which are good and good for you. ;)
I do actually like sushi, which surprised me haha. I think I'd eat it if I went out or something, but I'm trying to avoid carbs and rice is a big part of it. :> I do have to remember that though, because it's often a much better alternative than a lot of things on the menu at restaurants. ;P

Hmmm that is a good question. We plan on going out for dinner but I'm kind of attached to the idea of a nice salad? Or a side of mixed vegetables? I'm not sure what lunch is going to be like and I have an aversion to vegetables for breakfast lol it does not seem Right

I really like Pintrest but I also hate cooking ahaha. ^^;

So an update so far- I bought $30 worth of new clothes because my wardrobe has been seriously depleted since I got fat. I shares one scoop of frozen custard with my mom, and had a small bag of popcorn with no butter and a diet coke with grenadine at a movie. Going out to dinner I hope there will be some healthy options.
I had a tomato and lettuce earlier on my lunch so? Vegetable? And some blueberries? I made good choices like a chicken sandwich instead of a burger! And no alcohol, and buying only sale items. ^^;

Tracking stuff is too much. Just do what I do and drink solely water. Yep.

But, I am glad that even though you are fat, you actually do something about it. Fat acceptance is not something I condone, but I always respect a fat person who chooses to do something about it. People who get to be 500 pounds have no self control, and I'd make sure to lose weight well before that.

Anyway Aqua, good luck on the resolution. As always, it's not the resolution that matters, but actually doing it that does.

Just dance with me!!!!!!!

A new day, a new vegetable! What's your healthy meal of the day going to be? :)
My vegetable ended up being in the form of a really nice and fancy winter squash salad and a cup of roasted brussel sprouts and onions. I forgot how much I like the latter; I should cook it at home again. :D

@Noni I find it better personally to track like this, because I think all the time like "do I want to have to tell PC I was bad?" haha. And tbh I'm alright with people who are bigger and don't care bc it's their choice, you know? If you're overall really healthy but overweight then it's not a big deal imo. It's when you feel bad about yourself because of your body that change needs to happen, whatever that change is. Thanks for the well wishes~

0, it's 0. It's not necessarily overweight that is the issue for me, but the eating so much and not caring for your health. That's why when people try to change, I respect that.


I used to like brussel sprouts. Been years since I had some.

Just dance with me!!!!!!!

I used to haaaate brussel sprouts as a kid bc people always boiled them? Instead of roasted or fried which are 300x better.

Today is another day of some walking and going out to eat! Grandpa spoils us too much lol. But I think I've been doing okay with my choices!

What did you end up eating? Is that bit of walking counting towards your cardio? :) When do you plan to get your strength exercise out of the way for the week?

We have yet to do dinner but lunch was a cup of split pea and ham soup and some carrots (vegetable!). But we went on a brewery tour (walking, stairs) so I had 12oz of beer and we shared a cheese & brat board amongst four of us as a snack.

It's kind of hard to do what I would normally do for exercise right now because I've been away from home since the 21st and won't be back till the 1st but I intend to go swimming tomorrow or Friday so that's like. Cardio and strength considering I will be throwing siblings around the pool :P

If you want to cut down on the amount of crap you buy, don't take your bank card to the supermarket. Take a set amount of cash and start with the essentials then you'll have less money left over to spend on things that are unhealthy and no other ways of legally taking it home.

Try combining this with your walking if you can by making several trips to the shop on foot during the weak instead of one big trip by car.

See I'd love to do that but! Iiiit's winter and cold and ugh. Having a budget cap is a good idea for sure :>

Sooo my mom challenged me to do this for January: a list of things to not eat under any circumstance! We are generally pretty good but this is just a challenge to absolutely say No not even a Bite. The list of No is-

- chips (crisps)
- potatoes
- ice cream
- fast food
- fried food
- chocolate
- white bread
- soda
- juice
- cake
- doughnuts
- cookies
- candy

and really that's! easy! i dont buy those! but if i'm around them and they are offered I tend to take advantage of it... so i'm going to not. from jan 2 to jan 31 it will be None of those for me~

hey I hope I can be some help to you. I lost over 100lbs a few years ago so i know how hard it can be. more than tell you what to do i hope i can assist you in what not to do.

i think the best thing to do is just modify your diet, but nothing too drastic. I was cutting carbs hardcore when i first started dieting and the results were awesome, but it's easy to gain back quickly once you start reintroducing some carbs back.

Anytime you change your diet to be healthier typically the first week is the hardest because your body is now readjusting so you're craving all those calories or easy sugars/carbs your body isn't getting anymore. There's not much you can do here but just buckle down and push through the cravings. within a week or two you'll notice they'll subside and you'll start feeling fuller faster.

some simple tips you probably already know but can't hurt anyway
- try to replace sweets with fruits. fruits contain natural sugars and mostly good carbs. it's better for your body to process and it gives your body its sugar fix.
- instead of taking out carbs replace them with whole grains. whole grain breads, pastas, brown rice, etc. these fill you longer and once again your body processes them more efficiently. enjoy your healthy carbs but don't indulge in them.
- VEGETABLES. i find vegetables to be the hardest to always incorporate, but incorporate them as much as possible!! Especially your green vegetables. dark leafy greens are often full of nutrients, very low calorie, and so good for you! Try to make your vegetable portion the largest portion during your meals.
- obvious one here, but lean proteins do wonders. especially if you're working out also. chicken, turkey, fish, are all lean and fairly affordable barring some fish. tuna in a can is one amazing protein packed food and cheap! a lot of people will tell you to stay away from beef and pork, but if you eat them in moderation and prepare them yourself they're not too bad. I'd steer away from ham, but a baked pork chop for dinner isn't bad.
