what are you feeling right now? (23)

[Press On]

Very thankful. We were awakened by a tornado warning an hour ago. Just missed our town by 10-15 miles. Not so good for the next town over. Prayers for the people of Van, Texas.

[graciesings]

stupid... disorganized... oops.

I was putting up the finishing touches on a presentation, and the Internet glitches onme on my laptop. Guess I have to wait a bit.

 

[Krissy Cakes]

Depressed and in pain.

 

[chaoticfirefly]

Unmotivated.

Feeling weak from not eating enough. Seems to be the only way to lose weight, though.

According to the weight loss book I used to drop some pounds a few years back, you actually gain weight doing that, not lose it.

I'm needing to lose some pounds again as well. I'm really wanting to see a plastic surgeon about something, but even though I look ok, I've been lighter than I am now, and I really want to get back to my low point before I see him.

I actually lost 4 more pounds doing that.

I am feeling that this forum was better before the upgrade.

 

[chaoticfirefly]

First: I like this new layout. It looks cleaner.

Second: I want to self destruct and sabotage everything.

Are you part of the engineering team working on the upgrade.

Nope. Just making a comment.

There is so much propaganda and marketing on weight loss that it's ridiculous and inhumane considering people are getting sick and even dying with all the fads out there.

It's a simple concept, doesn't matter how many meals you eat per day, doesn't matter what time of day you eat - unless you have a legit physiological condition like a thyroid problem (which if you do then being fat is the least of your worries) or you are an angel hybrid that defies the laws of thermodynamics - if you burn more calories than you consume per day, you can only LOSE weight. the human body operates on a system of rules just like everything else in this world. Throw in some cardio and full body work outs, and it's as easy as can be.

If you are doing all this and still not losing weight, then count again because you are eating too much and you don't realise it because you been eating too much all your life and even if you feel like you are eating a lot less, it still may not be - get a calculator and COUNT EVERYTHING...count sauces, count snacks, count everything that you eat all day even if it only has 1 calorie then you can see how quickly they add up.

also a pro tip: eat slower!! you will notice fat people tend to eat a lot faster than thin people. eating slower = reduced appetite = eating less = losing weight.

hope i dont sound like a snob but fitness is a huge aspect of my life and when i was on psych meds i gained a ton of weight because of how they increased my appetite, i been through a lot of stuff in my life and when i give advice it's because i understand what its like and want to help people. and no i dont take psych meds anymore either.

Good job, keep it up! it gets easier as you go, make sure to drink plenty of water, its even more important when you are restricting food like this. and make sure you get as much sleep as you can at night. if you seriously feel like you are going to faint then increase your food intake a little bit, but dont get too comfortable!!

I mean this politely and respectfully, so please do not take offense, but one problem is the inconsistency in calories burned. This amount varies both for the individual and the day.

The reason I bring this is up is because, as one who has developed a severe eating disorder, I would urge those who would like to lose weight not to count every calorie and certainly not to "go hungry" in the name of weight loss. It may work for some individuals, but - take it from one who knows - it can be a path to mental and physical self-destruction for others.

there is no need for inconsistency. use the miffin formula to calculate your maintenance calories then subtract 500 - thats ur daily calorie intake goal. its a minor cut but for people who are used to eating boat loads of food, it will seem shocking. yes miffin isnt 100% exact and bodies vary, but its as close as it can get and you can make slight adjustments as you feel your body. if you don't count you are going to overeat, people who are overweight don't usually become anorexic just because they decide to start working out and tracking what they eat.
