@raspberrytorte a cheese stick is okay! Don’t sweat it you were hungry. I looked at what you ate and maybe you needed the protein so there you go.

[raspberrytorte]

@Crazy Hitch

Thanks. 😊

So far today I've had a cup of unsweetened vanilla almond milk.

[Crazy Hitch]

I stood on the scale and had lost a TINY amount but a win is a win!

[Crazy Hitch]

So today I went to buy my first pack of Contrave (my gp had given me my first one as a sample).

It bloody well cost $250 for not even 28 days supply. I was so embarrassed I didn’t know if I should tell the cashier thanks but no thanks but I landed up paying for it!!! This is the last month I’ll be on it then so I may as well make the most of it while I can. Fml.

@Crazy Hitch

Wow! That's really expensive! That sucks man.

[raspberrytorte]

Today I ate pretty much the same as yesterday, except I only had one cup of milk and one cup of peas. When my husband comes home he's making us fruit smoothies, which should be tasty. He just blends up frozen fruit with a bit of soy milk and agave nectar. Don't know how many calories it'll be though, unfortunately. I'll just have a little bit.

[raspberrytorte]

How is everyone doing today so far?

Do you have a scale and weigh yourself each day?

We have a scale but it's currently gathering dust underneath our bed and needs a new battery. I don't know if I'm going to get a new battery for it or not. I'm scared to know how much I weigh! I'm afraid it would make me awfully upset. 😭

Today I've had half a cup of oatmeal, two tablespoons of flaxseed, a banana and a cup of unsweetened almond milk so far.

Had to make myself finish it as the election tomorrow has made me completely lose my appetite.

[Crazy Hitch]

Well I’m upset. I stood on the scale this morning and I’ve put on a tiny bit of weight. I know I shouldn’t weigh in every morning but it’s a compulsion. Numbers don’t lie.

[raspberrytorte]

I'm done eating for the day. I had the oatmeal, then a cheese stick, then a plain baked potato with only salt and pepper and a cup of peas, then an apple, and then a plain bean burrito.

I haven't calculated the calories, but I'm pretty sure that's within my limit.

@Crazy Hitch

I wouldn't get too frustrated. If it's just like a pound or something it could be water weight. I know that if our scale worked I'd stand on it ALL THE TIME and get frantic about my weight! Which is why I'm hesitant to get new batteries for it. I'm just making it my goal to fit into my jeans again.

My recommendation: Take the batteries out of your scale.... lol

@raspberrytorte What is the calorie limit you are trying to stick to? Just doing a rough estimate based on 20 months of calorie counting so I know guesstimates for those foods you may not be getting enough calories. Not taking in enough will keep you from losing too. Plus it's not healthy. Worried about you!

[Mountaindewed]

Kinda hard to keep stuff down today. I don't know what I actually ate. Crackers for one thing. People ***** at me about literally everything I eat but I can only handle certain foods at certain times. I had someone complain about the crackers. Like what do you want me to eat?

[raspberrytorte]

@BeyondtheRainbow

Ah, don't worry about me. I'm fine. I counted calories for a while too and know how much that was. After picking our daughter up tonight she really wanted ice cream, so I ended up having a bowl. Don't know how many calories that was, but I'm sure I met my limit. I'm shooting for 1200 max, preferably below 1000 though. I've done it in the past and it worked. I just have to start exercising again. 💪

[Frog4Life]

Wellll, I have stopped gaining.

[Crazy Hitch]

2nd day in a row my weight has gone up FFS

[Mountaindewed]

I'm going to walk on my treadmill today. I ate tuna for breakfast which had good protein.

[raspberrytorte]

I wasn't strong yesterday. 😓 I was stressed out while the election results were coming in and had a peanut butter and agave nectar sandwich. I don't normally emotionally eat. I don't know why I felt the need to do it last night. And then when the results were pretty much in I had a glass of depression red wine.

Anyway. Yesterday = FAIL

So far today I've had a cup of oatmeal, two tablespoons of flaxseed, a banana, a cup of soy milk, a cheese stick, a granola bar, a mandarin orange, and a plain bean burrito. Have to calculate the calories, but that granola bar was like 200! Whew! A least it was good.

[Crazy Hitch]

I see a dietitian this morning. Ughhhh. I’m not going to give up my meal subscription. I basically need breakfast ideas from him and ideas of what I can eat on the weekends because I don’t get my meal subscription on the weekends.

[raspberrytorte]

I hope he helps, @Crazy Hitch. I was actually thinking about getting a dietitian. You should let us know how it goes.

Do you watch ChelseaMae on facebook? She is in new zealand. She recently said our real need is to have things SIMPLE and that will help with our consistency. It sounds like what you are doing, sticking to a fairly short list of foods. Thats what i am doing. My blood sugar is better (type 2 diabetes), not sure how my weight is, and i am sleeping much better, way less heartburn.

[Mountaindewed]

I started walking on my treadmill again. Then I charged up my VR headset last night and resubscribed to the fitness game Supernatural. I need to fix myself. I also am eating tuna pouches again which have a ton of protein and those little Lunchables. They aren't the greatest health wise but they are satisfying. Eggs, tuna, and Lunchables were a staple of mine in 2022.

[raspberrytorte]

Yesterday was a fail again. 😔 Hoping today will be better.

[Crazy Hitch]

I’ve just eaten eggs on toast for breakfast as per my dietitian recommendation. It was that or peanut butter on toast but eggs have more protein so I went with eggs.

[raspberrytorte]

I need to see a dietitian.

Today I've had half a cup of oatmeal, two tablespoons of flaxseed, and two cheese sticks. Tonight will be a salad (yick) of some sort.

[Crazy Hitch]

I dropped weight this morning when I weighed in and I definitely ate more yesterday compared to what I’m used to. Yeehaaaaa!

[raspberrytorte]

@Crazy Hitch

That's awesome! Congrats. Now you're REALLY inspiring me to see a dietitian.
