I don't understand those memes with no picture just a caption that say something along the lines of "I'll spend $40 on a meal but I won't spend $40 on a shirt."

I don't get it. Why would someone rather have one $40 meal instead of a shirt they will get to keep wearing?

My eating kinda sucked today but I think I ate enough to maintain. I was 159.6 today.

Everyone is losing their **** with me all of a sudden. Yeah Sheila I can see it too. Yet I'm still 159 so I don't know where the drastic difference came from. Anyways I got my weekly shot today so I am not hungry from that but I'm worried I'll be admitted to the hospital at my pdocs appointment tommorow if I don't legit eat quite a bit in the next 24 hours. Nothing sounds good though. Not tic tacs. Not steak and lobster. My therapist asked me what was up with the tic tacs. I told her I had been craving them. Idk why though. I went through a big container of berry ones, a big container of fruity ones, and like 4 normal size orange containers in the past couple weeks.

I cut out most sugar and have been eating healthier and exercising a lot. I went from 169 lbs down to 166 lbs so far in the past two weeks. Hoping to keep it up. Goal is to get back down to my original weight of 110 - 115 lbs. May take me about a year. I just need to be patient and stay consistent.

I weighed myself today and at first I was 156. Down 3 pounds just from yesterday. I freaked out and thought to myself "you need to see a doctor if thats right" I stepped on the scale again and I was 157.4. Still not very good. I set the my fittness pal app to 2050 calories which is maintenice for me. My pdoc said he disagrees with my therapist and I am not too thin, my weight is perfect accorrding to the BMI and its perfectly fine to be on the slender side. He did say he doesn't want me to lose anymore. I'm not always in control since I lose my appetite a lot because of meds and other things I'm trying to figure out. If I can actually eat dinner I'll be at 1,992 calories. Currently I'm pretty queasy from the heat and some motion sickness.

I had a much needed cheat day yesterday. Today I'm back to my normal eating which is kinda restricting but not on purpose. I had a protein shake, a grande pumpkin spice latte, a fruit and cheese protein box, some plant based eggs, and an apple sauce. I'm around 1200 calories which is pretty bad and I feel weird right now and I don't know if its from the lack of food or the heat or what. But I'm really not hungry.

I was 158.8 today. I'm suprised I wasn't 161 after my cheat day. Idk whats going on to be honest. My mom joked and asked if a gypsy put a curse on me. Like from the Stephen King book Thinner where the guy loses weight without trying. I am a bit concerned something is wrong especially since I feel so runned down today, but theres nothing I can do on a Saturday. I ate a couple plant based eggs and some apple sauce and a tall apple crisp machiato and some tic tacs. I'm currently at 720 calories and no clue on what I'll eat for the rest of the day.

I ate some instant ramen so I'm at 1090 calories, but according to what my therapist has worked out I need to eat 960 more calories which I physically am unable to do. So I guess we'll just see what happens. I'm going to get some desserts from the grocery store. Some pies and stuff. Maybe if I can't eat throughout the day I can at least eat higher calorie foods to meet my goal.

I ended up drinking a protein shake then eating a decent size boiled red potato last night. I weighed myself this morning and I was 158.6. Idk. My mom doesn't know either. I didn't even get out of bed yesterday. I am still feeling runned down today but I've been getting things done around the house. This morning I ate a container of banana pudding and drank an Arizona drink before 2AM. Then I finished off the apple sauce and had a mini Coke at 7AM. Lunch was a protein shake and a cup of instant mashed potatos. I had another Coke half an hour ago. I plan on having an apple sauce and a protein drink for dinner. Currently with all that I am at 1570 calories with 480 left. I haven't eaten dinner yet and I'm not too hungry for it but I could sleep for 12 hours. Maybe my therapist just won't notice although she did last time and last time I was 159.4

The cookie cake and pumpkin pie have remained untouched.

I needed to eat 1,840 calories yesterday just to maintain my stupid weight. It was a lot. Today I've had 988 calories after I drink an iced coffee and I'm not sure what else I'll eat. I have some soup from the freezer thawing. It may just be a 1300 calorie day. Idk.

I weigh about 169 lb and am only 5'2" so in the obese range. Actually, it doesn't show at all in my face or upper body, just belly and below. So maybe I should get maternity clothes...

Breakfast today was oatmeal with rehydrated riced cauliflower (savory!), a fruit cup, and coffee.

This could be a permanent breakfast, alternating savory and fruity (blueberry, strawberry).

Lunch - probably something hearty and saucy, like sloppy joe over palmini?

Dinner - tuna salad with wasa.

I ate 1,637 calories yesterday including a piece of cookie cake and I was 157.6 this morning. Down over a pound since yesterday. I don't get it, all I did was sleep yesterday. I'm trying to maintain at 158. Yeah, I'm a bit concerned with all this sleeping and losing weight without trying.

I was 159 today. I had over 300 carbs yesterday but I was still under my calorie goal. Today I've had around 1600 calories and 240 carbs. My goal is to stay at or under 256 carbs. My therapist gets on my case about this and has even suggested I gain some weight. My mom has mentioned it too but I feel perfectly fine around this weight. Although the whole loss of appetite is still an issue. I've been falling asleep and missing dinner lately and doing other stuff like that and it annoys people.

I'm still at 159. 158.6 is where I really like to be. 157 and my therapist gets real pissed because then I start looking too thin. She will probably be pissed about something or another anyways regarding my weight or calories or what I eat or something the next time I see her. She is so hard on me about my weight but my mom says I need someone to be hard on me about it. My therapist told me she is super protective of me. I'm currently trying to shrink a new too big hoodie so thats whats currently going on about clothing sizes.

Not been the best few weeks for me, I’ve had sugar cravings which I think a a reaction to stress at work. So I’m reaching for the wrong things. I do try to replace them with the right ones but it’s not easy when feeling stressed.

My exercise took a dip too as I just haven’t had time. One run last week, although it was a nice one and I got to see an amazing sunrise.

The pool was shut too for repairs so having to wait for a swim which I’m craving as it relaxes me.

Hoping next week will be better as I’ll be off work.

I had my mom take a picture of me today and I was wearing a hoodie and jeans. And yeah my mom commented on how I looked so no doubt my therapist would have given me crap as well. Luckily today is not the day I see her because my eating has not been good. I had a 7.5oz Coke and a couple 11oz bottles of Sunnny D for breakfast. But I didn't have anything to eat. Then I got a Mexican pizza from Taco Bell when they opened. I had a 16oz Coke a couple hours ago. And I just now had a tablespoon of Wow butter. So I'm at 1,100 calories and 174 carbs right now. I'm not sure what to do about dinner.

Kinda tmi but does plant based stuff make you go to the bathroom more? I haven't been having any diarrhea but my plant based butter is making me go the bathroom a lot several times a day.

Today I had a few Cokes but I also had 2 Sargento balanced breaks, half a container of plant based eggs, which is a liquid you make into scrambled eggs, and a tablespoon of Wow butter. So far I'm at 1,270 calories and I still have to figure out dinner.

How do you know it is the plant based butter and not the taco bell or something else you ate?

You can't generalise "plant based stuff" like that. There's so many ingredients and foods that are plant based and they all have different effects on your body. Even if it is the butter, that doesn't mean all plant based food will have that effect.

Going fully plant based will usually increase your fibre intake. But then you also need to drink plenty of water to avoid constipation.

I only had Taco Bell that one day. I've been eating plant based butter or other plant based stuff every day and going regularly every day. I drink about 3 bottles of water a day.

Is it plant based "peanut butter"?

Peanut butter is already plant based. This product seems pretty processed, which to me is the opposite of the intent of eating plant based. Plant based means eating plants as close to their initial state as possible, imo. Not stuff like the "Impossible Burger."

I think the WOW product just uses different oil - it says it has all these omega-3's. I wonder if its like the special low cal potato chips some years ago that were giving everybody the runs, unless they ate really limited amounts.

Had a salad for lunch today, was pretty good. Just had some spring mix, with sliced turkey, tomato, and spicy hummus (I use hummus as a dressing sometimes)
