Give me the fudge

 

I realized I'm even more fucked up than I thought I was. I legit cannot get cold turkey back to how I was eating this summer. This week's goal is just to stop the wild binges and get under control. Then next week I'll try the real counting again.

 

I don't lift anymore, but a few years ago when I was trying to lose a little bit of weight faster, I lifted - not heavily to gain muscle but rather light weights just to burn calories - I too remember thinking 'oh man, these people are going to think I'm a lightweight' but I quickly realized that literally no one cared.

Funny side note, I go to the same gym as our County Sheriff - who I've gotten to know through a few of my jobs over the past 10 years and every now and then he'd come up to me and just move my arms or legs in the correct form - then just walk away.

 

You got this, bud.

 

Mile #2 was so much better and simultaneously way worse.

Same with Day 2 of Whole30, if not because I'm the only one not drinking around the fireplace right now. Trying to go until I see JEW in March alcohol free.

 

Today was the first time I started calorie counting. I weighed myself recently, and I knew I wasn't in good shape, but I'm disappointed in where I've gotten. The whole diet/exercise thing is intimidating for me since I've never had to before.

 

Found a dollar in my pocket today and bought a soda on a whim. I'm kicking myself rn

 

Thanks. I really fucking hope so.

 

It was one thing to eat like this and destroy my body when I wasn't aware/conscious that I was doing it. Now that I'm paying attention and have really opened my eyes to my issues, my addiction makes me so anxious and upset that I get physically nauseous

 

I completely know how you feel. But knowing is literally half the battle, my brother. The holidays are rough, but anyone who can be part of creating a stellar album like that last release can do this. Rooting for you!

 

On a mission to get healthier and if I lose 10 pounds in the process that'd be cool. I looked up some healthy vegetarian recipes on pinterest that I think I can handle. We'll see what happens. Some are misleading af tho. They'll be like "make this amazing thing that only has these 3 healthy ingredients!" And then I'd click and there'd be way more unhealthy ingredients involved smh I will not be fooled!

 

Yeah sometimes "vegetarian" is code for so much cheese and bread that you may die before finishing it.

 

Went to the store. Most I've ever spent on groceries ever lol but some of it was staple stuff I shouldn't have to rebuy for a while so hopefully my next few trips will have some chill

 

Does anyone else eat the same meals every day? I've found it easiest to have the same breakfast in the morning, same lunch midday, same dinner at night. It gets mundane but I live alone and it's nice not having to really think about. I switch things up from time to time but it's never drastic

 

I live alone too and I eat a lot of the same stuff. I live off salad, fruit w/ Greek yogurt, and vegetarian mandarin orange chicken. And french fries prob. If nobody ever invited me out to eat that's about all I'd eat. I hate cooking tho.

But this week im making avocado fries and honey garlic baked cauliflower. I was gonna get stuff for a "healthy banana split" which is just a banana split with yogurt instead of ice cream and none of the bad for you toppings lol but safeway had no bananas!! It was madness!

 

For breakfast I'll either have a small bowl of granola, scrambled eggs, or else fruit. Just depends what I'm doing that day. Lunch is a salad. Dinner is either baked or grilled chicken with vegetables. Once a month I order pizza because I love it and I would eat it every day if I could lol. Plus I go out for dinner typically once a week with friends.

 

I have literally never heard of a grocery store being out of bananas haha

 

it's bananas
b-a-n-a-n-a-s

 

Me neither!! But it was bare! It was crowded af cause it's snowing and we're supposed to get it pretty bad the next few days so everyone was pre-blizzard shopping but idk why bananas would be such a popular item any more than usual

 

my work ran out of organic bananas yesterday and a few weeks ago before thanksgiving we ran out of bananas around lunchtime.

The problem is grocery stores trying to predict how much to get and my store failing most times.

 

When I'm going good I have the same breakfast and lunch every day and some combo of the same array of snacks. But if I didn't have some variety with dinner I'd fail in a week

 

I don't eat breakfast, unless it's the weekend and my wife and I go to a diner. For lunch I almost always eat a salad and for dinner, I try to eat grilled chicken or salmon most nights.

 

See i wish I could do this because of how much easier it would be but I get absolutely sick of something by like day 2 and have to switch it completely up. I was envious of my college roommate who ate nearly the Same thing every single day and she lost like 40 lbs and didn't ever complain about just eating nasty plain tilapia and frozen veggies every. Single. Night.

 

yeah I definitely need variety, for me the whole thing is I hate the word diet and I hate feeling restricted, but making healthier choices is fine with me

 

One reason I like the whole 30: Doesn't restrict calorie intake, it just restricts you to eating/not eating specific food. And a lot of the recipes are really easy and tasty.
