| Posted: 31 Jul 2020 07:35 PM PDT Holy crap guys! I'd usually just post in the dailies, but I'm feeling really good about this. I committed to losing weight at the beginning of June, and I've dropped 30lbs on strict keto combined with CICO and sticking to a promise to myself that I'll exercise at least six days per week (tonight I ran a mile with a friend, we're doing couch to 5k together!). I genuinely believed at one point that I'd never find a way to lose it. I really thought I couldn't. But then I did, and I am. Pics: at 290lbs and at 260lbs wearing the same outfit. The shorts are soooo much looser and I had to scrunch the back of the t-shirt because it was loose enough that it was hiding my body. Obviously not so before - it used to be snug. I'm just. I'm so proud of myself right now. Still have a long journey ahead of me (115lbs left to lose), but what a great start. This feels like my first real milestone. [link] [comments] |
| Down 28 kgs (133kgs to 106kgs ) Posted: 01 Aug 2020 12:42 AM PDT Hello everyone, I started my journey in January after hitting Rock bottom. I weighed myself after 1 year and was shocked when I realised I am 133.7kgs . From January to March I lost 7 kgs with mild exercise and limited dieting. When coronavirus hit India government in forced strict lockdown. While stuck at home I stopped working out and went on a purge. Gained back 3 kgs in 25 days. After that I started Shawn T's t25 and progressed slowly . Now I am 106 kgs. I know I have very long journey ahead of me. You guys have been a great inspiration and motivation I want to thank you 🙏🙏 [link] [comments] |
| NSV: Didn't immediately eat all the banana bread I was sent home with! Posted: 31 Jul 2020 04:32 PM PDT My friend sent me home with banana bread and chocolate chip banana bread (2.5 mini loaves) after our coffee date this morning. In the past, I would have eaten it on the way home, or immediately when I got home, or I would have binged on some other carb-heavy food for the rest of the day, due to cravings for the sweet, ruining the whole day or even spiraling into several days of overeating. Not this time! I had 2 small pieces at my friends' house, and was not tempted to eat it at home, even though it's easily accessible. This is due to roughly 3 years of small sustainable changes from unhealthy behaviors (bingeing, restricting, repeat) to healthy behaviors and a good relationship with food. Nothing is off limits, I try to eat vegetables with each meal and make produce and a small amount of protein the bulk of the meal, with some fruit, hot cocoa, or a small sweet for dessert. Snacks are often veggies and hummus, or fruit or a protein bar. As a general rule, I try to only eat sweets at social events and not alone, and will say no to items I've eaten a lot of in my life (generic cake, store bought things) and not hesitate to try anything I've never had, or something that is a specialty or unique item. I tend to make hot cocoa my nightly sweet treat. It is chocolatey, lower calorie, and fills me up. Plus, it's hot, so I can't get bingey with it. I generally eat the same things for breakfast (eggs on toast) and lunch (sweet potato; a sandwich or wrap with cut veggies). A big help for me has been an early and consistent bedtime and sleep schedule, since I overeat more at night. I am asleep by 10 each night, typically. If I know there's a big event coming up, I'll go easy the week before, so I can eat 2500-3000 calories on that day or weekend without feeling stress. [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 31 Jul 2020 05:58 PM PDT My name is Owen and I'm a 15 year old 279 pound kid. My doctor says I need to make a change and quick, after talking with my family they are unwilling to stop buying shitty foods, and are unwilling to pay for a gym membership, but my sister is willing to drive me if I can afford it. I have saved up some money for food and a membership, but I don't know what to do - I need this to help me. Can someone please give me a concrete plan for working out, or something to do? I have tried just eating healthy, but my addiction to sugar has always broken me, even if I take things slow. Any help would be appreciated. [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 31 Jul 2020 06:03 PM PDT I'm super uncomfortable with my body and I believe losing the weight (around 30 pounds) would improve my confidence and quality of life. https://imgur.com/a/ig7Djen That's what I look like now, by September I'll post an update whether I make progress or not. I have lost a decent amount very sporadically and put it back on in lumps, I have an active lifestyle but I have a dependancy on food whenever I feel like I need comfort. I need to break the cycle and stop doing well for a week then regressing straight after. My relationship with food has always been a bit on a knifes edge, I can't really control myself I don't really eat for enjoyment it's an instinctual need like I can't just not eat. I'm keeping a good diary which I full honestly as I can remember, reading back my meals are very healthy but I snack way too often and it's never good food, during this month I'll learn to say no when offered food toom I'm 5 foot 9 and weigh 93kg atm, I'll update this figure with the next post [link] [comments] |
| I got so fat now and I have no motivation to be heathy. Posted: 31 Jul 2020 08:22 PM PDT I used to feel depressed and down when people mock my body size. But after years of mockery, I got used to it and I don't feel motivated to lose weight. I feel like if I do lose weight, that means I am only doing it just to satisfy the peoples who mocked me before. It's an unhealthy mindset, but I lived with it for my whole life. I did lose weight when I was in my early 20s, I've lost 20 kgs in 3 months by dancing 2 hours a day but I couldn't continue. I was a lazy fuck. And so, I eat uncontrollably because food gave me comfort and I love to lie down and sleep after I finished eating. Yesterday me and my whole family stayed at a vacation homestay and it had a large mirror. When I looked at my reflection there, that's when I realized I got too fat now. And I need to make changes to it. My blood pressure is a haywire these days, my vision got blurry, and my freaking thighs have this random "electric" tingling sensation when I sit down. I need to change but I don't know how to start. I'm a 29 y/o female, morbidly obese, and I want to motivate myself to be healthy. Please give me emotional support! Edit: *healthy. Typo in title. Damn these fat fingers! [link] [comments] |
| Is it possible to lose 50lbs + through diet and walking alone? Posted: 31 Jul 2020 04:51 PM PDT I am a 5'7 23 yr old female, and I currently weigh 203lbs. My starting weight was 245 lbs. I just had a conversation with the person who encouraged me to go on a fitness journey, and she congratulated me on my 42lbs lost so far. I told her I wanted to lose about 45 more pounds and she said that if I continue only walking as my exercise, I won't lose any more weight. That large amounts of weight loss only happen when you do more hardcore exercising. I'm kind of shocked. Walking is my utmost favorite form of exercise and it's the only one I look forward to. Is it impossible to lose 85lbs through walking and a calorie deficit alone? Has anyone done this? [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 31 Jul 2020 10:43 PM PDT What's up guys! This is my first post ever on not just this subreddit, but Reddit in general! I'm not too sure how to word everything, so I'm just going to brain dump. I'm a 28 year old male. 266 lbs. I have a very strong work ethic, but I need direction. Help. I need help with meal plans. The simpler the better. I've done things like paleo, and keto, but never was able to actually stick to it. I know what I need to eat and what I shouldn't be eating, but I can't seem to stick to anything. As far as working out, I know what to do. But again, it's sticking to it that's hard. I've recently got back in to riding my road bike and have been riding at least ten miles every other day. I've seen on other posts about how people have just walked and although it takes awhile, it works. I'll start walking the dogs more often and walking on the days that I don't ride. What I need the most is a legit, straight to the point, no B.S. meal plan. There are places where I live that will create a custom meal plan for anyone, but it's spendy and I can't afford that right now. I know that people say to just eat less carbs, and more veggies and brown rice and all that stuff. I get that. But I need a literal list of meals, telling what to eat and when. Can anyone out there do just that for me? I know that if I stay around 2,000 calories a day, I'd be good. If there is anyone out there who can help, you have no idea how much I'd appreciate it. What's shitty is the fact that I think that the meal plans that you have to pay for could actually work, but I can't afford it right now. I think everyone can understand that. If someone is able to give me a straight to the point meal plan, I will be forever grateful and will take before pictures and progress pictures along the way. Thank you all for the support and tips that I know I'll receive in advance! Thanks guys! [link] [comments] |
| Day 1? Starting your weight loss journey on Saturday, 01 August 2020? Start here! Posted: 01 Aug 2020 03:25 AM PDT Today is your Day 1? Welcome to r/Loseit! So you aren't sure of how to start? Don't worry! "How do I get started?" is our most asked question. r/Loseit has helped our users lose over 1,000,000 recorded pounds and these are the steps that we've found most useful for getting started. Why you're overweightOur bodies are amazing (yes, yours too!). In order to survive before supermarkets, we had to be able to store energy to get us through lean times, we store this energy as adipose fat tissue. If you put more energy into your body than it needs, it stores it, for (potential) later use. When you put in less than it needs, it uses the stored energy. The more energy you have stored, the more overweight you are. The trick is to get your body to use the stored energy, which can only be done if you give it less energy than it needs, consistently. Before You StartThe very first step is calculating your calorie needs. You can do that HERE. This will give you an approximation of your calorie needs for the day. The next step is to figure how quickly you want to lose the fat. One pound of fat is equal to 3500 calories. So to lose 1 pound of fat per week you will need to consume 500 calories less than your TDEE (daily calorie needs from the link above). 750 calories less will result in 1.5 pounds and 1000 calories is an aggressive 2 pounds per week. TrackingHere is where it begins to resemble work. The most efficient way to lose the weight you desire is to track your calorie intake. This has gotten much simpler over the years and today it can be done right from your smartphone or computer. r/loseit recommends an app like MyFitnessPal, Loseit! (unaffiliated), or Cronometer. Create an account and be honest with it about your current stats, activities, and goals. This is your tracker and no one else needs to see it so don't cheat the numbers. You'll find large user created databases that make logging and tracking your food and drinks easy with just the tap of the screen or the push of a button. We also highly recommend the use of a digital kitchen scale for accuracy. Knowing how much of what you're eating is more important than what you're eating. Why? This may explain it. Creating Your DeficitHow do you create a deficit? This is up to you. r/loseit has a few recommendations but ultimately that decision is yours. There is no perfect diet for everyone. There is a perfect diet for you and you can create it. You can eat less of exactly what you eat now. If you like pizza you can have pizza. Have 2 slices instead of 4. You can try lower calorie replacements for calorie dense foods. Some of the communities favorites are cauliflower rice, zucchini noodles, spaghetti squash in place of their more calorie rich cousins. If it appeals to you an entire dietary change like Keto, Paleo, Vegetarian. The most important thing to remember is that this selection of foods works for you. Sustainability is the key to long term weight management success. If you hate what you're eating you won't stick to it. ExerciseIs NOT mandatory. You can lose fat and create a deficit through diet alone. There is no requirement of exercise to lose weight. It has it's own benefits though. You will burn extra calories. Exercise is shown to be beneficial to mental health and creates an endorphin rush as well. It makes people feel awesome and has been linked to higher rates of long term success when physical activity is included in lifestyle changes. Crawl, Walk, RunIt can seem like one needs to make a 180 degree course correction to find success. That isn't necessarily true. Many of our users find that creating small initial changes that build a foundation allows them to progress forward in even, sustained, increments. AcceptanceYou will struggle. We have all struggled. This is natural. There is no tip or trick to get through this though. We encourage you to recognize why you are struggling and forgive yourself for whatever reason that may be. If you overindulged at your last meal that is ok. You can resolve to make the next meal better. Do not let the pursuit of perfect get in the way of progress. We don't need perfect. We just want better. Additional resourcesNow you're ready to do this. Here are more details, that may help you refine your plan.

| Here’s my take on starting your weight loss journey Posted: 31 Jul 2020 06:35 PM PDT After yo-yo-ing back and fourth between a very restrictive diet and just binging, I realized that weight loss should be a lifestyle. I'm pretty sure some people already know this, but I just wanted to share just in case. Instead of going on a diet, it's better to change your current diet and maintain it rather than doing big changes for short term results. If you want to stay at your GW, you can't go back to your original lifestyle. My advice: Start by changing one of two things. 1) limiting portion size. This way you can still eat the foods you love, but are also taking steps towards weight loss. Nothing drastic. 2) Swapping out unhealthy foods for healthier alternatives. Don't go cold turkey, slowly swap out certain foods starting small. 3) exercise. However you choose to do it, just be active. And that's it! Pretty simple, but it took me a while to figure out that small long term changes were the way to go. [link] [comments] |
| The first week of getting back on track is always the hardest. Posted: 31 Jul 2020 08:29 PM PDT I lost 15 pounds, took a break, then 10 pounds, took a break, lost 5, then took a break and now I'm trying to lose the last 20 pounds. The first week after a break is always the hardest. I feel like I expect to see body changes right away and I get discouraged when I don't even though I know this happens EVERY time. I feel so unmotivated and sad the first week, maybe 9 days, thinking I'm not losing weight and before you know it, 2-3 weeks in, I SEE IT! I see and feel the weight loss. I just had to rant because I'm officially a week back into dieting and I am dropping this last 20 pounds. It's so difficult starting for me because I just want to see results and it's so funny because I know results will come if I stay consistent and it's always an amazing feeling. Whenever I see and feel the difference I'm like, 'wow, I'm so happy I started 3 weeks ago.' Just had to let it off my chest. I'm super close to my goal weight and the gyms are open again so I'm ready. Just impatient Lol [link] [comments] |
| Warning signs that it’s time for a maintenance week Posted: 31 Jul 2020 06:33 AM PDT Hi, I wanted to share first that I'm really proud of myself for making the decision to take a maintenance week. At this point I'm 6 months into the current stint of CICO and I've only "messed up" once before now. I'm also only three pounds away from my original goal weight and pretty clearly at a plateau. That made the choice even harder. At the beginning of July, I had surgery that stopped my fitness progress and I talked a lot about taking a week to maintain as I recovered. But I didn't do it. My thoughts were "if I stop now, I'm done forever." I couldn't use fitness to compensate extra calories. I cut even further, beyond my 1200, beyond what was healthy for me (a 5'3" woman, gone from moderately active to sedentary). I became snappish and started to feel myself spend every waking minute obsessed with food. These were warning signs that it was time to take a break. I suffer from a history of mental illness and disordered eating. I'm not a doctor but for those of you who also might fall into the trap of all-or-nothing thinking, remember with me that this is about mental health just as much as physical. Habit building is the key. My NSV of the week was eating at maintenance, not losing weight, not gaining weight. Also, incorporating my healthy mindful eating habits into a higher calorie count. Bonus points if I manage to slam these last three pounds when I return to my calorie deficit next week! Stay strong, stay healthy, we got this 💪 [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 01 Aug 2020 02:41 AM PDT Some people here are making a fatal mistake. TLDR: Scale doesn't tell the whole story, "The scale doesn't tell the whole story" gets more and more true the more you lose weight. Use other tools. I have noticed that the vast majority of people here focus on what the scale tells them regarding the pounds they have. Those who diet often complain that they're not losing any weight. Even worse, some give up altogether or decide to be harsher on themselves. I just want to leave a note that the quote "The scale doesn't tell the whole story" gets more and more true the more you lose weight. Take me for example, I weighed roughly 200 pounds for the past 2 weeks while I'm dieting and doing exercises; primarily strength training and cardio. You may have the first impressions that I am not succeeding at all, but I'd strongly disagree, and here's why: Shed those pounds, lads and lasses! [link] [comments] |
| What I have come to learn during my weight loss journey... Posted: 31 Jul 2020 09:41 PM PDT My whole life I have struggled with fluctuating weight. I have always been very active with my job and sport but found myself ranging anywhere from 70 to 90kgs throughout the past 7 years (I'm 163cm). I tried every diet but it would never seem to stick or I would come to a standstill with my weight loss and give up. But for the first time ever at the age of 22 I have finally come to the realisation what I was doing was wrong and I wasn't healthy. Now I'm 4 months in and I've lost my sugar cravings for the first time in my life. I'm running and enjoying it as well as sticking to workouts. For the first time in my life I have stuck to a healthy diet for longer than two months and now I am doing it properly I finally have energy to get through my day and still workout after. And most importantly... I'm finally happy. I don't know why I have only now just taken these things in... maybe it's because I've moved out of home away from my parents who were both obese and had poor eating habits. Maybe it's just maturity, or maybe it's because I'm now in a very physically demanding job where I can't afford to be unfit or tired. But since I've come to the realisation I just had to put my thoughts out there, so if I had to tell my younger self anything... here it is.
I hope this helps even just one person out there who has been struggling with their weight. Also this has just been my experience and this is what works for me to keep sticking to my lifestyle change. Everyone is different. [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 31 Jul 2020 07:19 AM PDT I've posted before about how I went from over 500 pounds to about 208 without surgery. I kept the weight off for a while and stayed around the low to mid 200s for a while. But then from August to January of last year I went from about 280 to 380. I'm not sure why to be completely honest. I mean I know its from overeating but I don't know WHY I did it. I kept going "well once I hit 250 pounds I'll get back on the wagon." Which came and went. Then I went "well that's not bad, when I get to 300 I'll for sure make myself lose weight again." Which at that point I just kinda stopped weighing myself since I wasn't doing anything. In January I moved in with my girlfriend. In February my mom got killed in a motorcycle accident. Also in February I quit teaching and changed career paths. Then COVID happened. It's been a hectic year and I kept pushing off my weight loss. I'm currently 90 days in a row of tracking my calories. Just like the first time there was no huge turning moment. Literally just me going "I'm tired of this, it's time to change." It hasn't been perfect. I've binged a few days and watched my weight skyrocket by 9 pounds overnight and have to spend a few days to get it back to a normal weight. Things I've done to lose weight: Track everything, including bad days. Walk 2.5-5 miles every day. Stretch. Take care of myself. It's a stupid hard process but that's what it is, a process.

| Posted: 31 Jul 2020 08:23 PM PDT So for roughly the past 4-5 days, I've been consuming VERY little food. Like, <800 calories daily. It started from me being depressed over a break up and I want to change myself like I've wanted for the past 5 years, so I want to continue it. I work in a factory and put in an average of 17,545 steps daily. outside of this, I do zero exercising but willing to start when I feel I'm up for it. The question I have though is, with me doing this <800 calories daily, doing OMAD (Usually at Midnight, but sometimes at 8PM) to give me those <800 calories and drinking ~1 gallon of water a day, is this increasing bad for my health? For my one 'meal', I eat 4 scrambled eggs with some salsa on top, a banana and lately a spoonful of peanut butter. I'm obviously doing this to lose weight, but I don't think I'm doing it correctly. I know that if you do stuff wrong, your metabolism will drop and you'll no longer be losing weight. I'm concerned about this and need some advice. I don't mind being hungry from the <800 calories since I basically chug a bottle of water every time my hunger pangs pop up. While at work, that tends to be ever hour or 2, depending on how much I'm sweating (Factory, it's 100+ in there everyday, and sometimes I pee once while on a 9 hour shift, even with a gallon of water in me). Please help, I'm stuck and worried I'm messing things up and want to make sure I fix my bad habits before they become more serious. [link] [comments] |
| How to deal with anxiousness and being afraid of losing control again Posted: 01 Aug 2020 02:12 AM PDT I'm a 21 year old male with hypothyroidism I've been morbidly obese my whole life and right now I'm down from 350 at the start of the year to 345 as of two weeks ago(with many relapses in between 350) to 336.8 today I have a feeling of what I can describe as being afraid of failing again. I've felt this way many of times before but now I'm asking for advice. I've taken my losses through these few weeks of dieting and exercising and I've gotten right back at it the next day. But I'm scared that I'll relapse and just start binging/not caring about my body for the next few months or so like I've done many times before. How do you guys flip your mentality back to "I've gotta keep at it" mode if you slip up or just not slip up at all? [link] [comments] |
| 30 Day Accountability Challenge - August Sign Ups! Posted: 31 Jul 2020 05:12 PM PDT A new month & new Daily Accountability Challenge! For the newbies to the sub reddit, please start here, so much good info! https://www.reddit.com/r/loseit/wiki/quick_start_guide https://www.reddit.com/r/loseit/wiki/faq And hey, maybe it's not a bad idea to review them anyway to you returning conquerors. I do occasionally to remind myself of the basics. Here's what we do in the DAC my friends! This is the sign up post to outline your goals, weight loss, self care, creative, whatever keeps your motor going. There will be a daily update post for you to chime in about how day whatever is going! At the end of the month, there is a wrap up post to reflect on the progress you made or didn't make & what you learned. Learning is progress my friends! We try to foster a supportive, caring place to discuss the actual day to day of deficits & counting & caring so much about how we fuel our bodies & lives. So be kind, interact if you like & hopefully you feel supported by the internet version of a push up bra! Leading by example, here I go! Weight by end of month (199 lbs, preferably trend weight): No weigh in this morning. 201.5 lbs trend weight. Stay within calorie range (1500 weekdays, maintenance weekends): Exercise 5 days a week: Habitual, as always I want more intensity & strength. X/X days. Self-care journaling (once a week, 60 minutes): Need this for sanity. Self-care time (working on love journals, beauty treatments, drawing X/X days): I've been neglecting this. Bad loser. Try a new recipe once a week: X/5 weeks. 50 pages of The Body Keeps the Score: Tough gig. X/50 pages. No fast food or candy from the work dish: Streak day 6. Be present in my body & accept the sensory feedback: Be more mindful & express gratitude, avoid the hedonic treadmill: Your turn! [link] [comments] |
| Volume satiety Vs Macro satiety Posted: 01 Aug 2020 01:56 AM PDT I was just curious but which one out of the two scenarios would you pick that you know will keep you full. We'll assume that each one is the same amount of calories and we use wholewheat bread (the best kind, yum) Two slices of toast(plain) or one slice of toast with peanut butter. Both are good and bad in their own way e.g. Option 1 has more volume but its just carbs. Option 2 has some fats and a lil bit of protien but it is a much smaller meal. Obviously in an ideal world two slices of toast with peanut butter would be the best but if you had to choose, which one and why? Personally I'd go for option 1 just because volume trumps everything for me [link] [comments] |

| Posted: 31 Jul 2020 05:43 PM PDT I've been overweight and sometimes obese for ten years, my whole family is obese and they don't even seem to care. They say they gotta lose weight and then do shit about it. My mom has bought a fucking treadmill pretending she'll do something with it. I've been trying to lose weight and BE HEALTHY for about three years now and I'm not of a healthy weight yet. I'm 16 years old, 5' and weigh 150lb, my heaviest was 175lb. And I can't fucking drop that weight because of these stupid people who don't give a shit about maybe dying in a few years. They are always cooking or buying super unhealthy food and if I eat little they say I'll become anorexic like I'm even fucking slim. I live with my mother (41F, 5'2, almost 200lb) and my brother (10M, 4'7, 110lb). These people are OBESE and don't give a SHIT that they coukd die any moment. And I bet you they'll eat themselves to death. Right now they are asking me TO COOK fucking french fries with fondue cheese and Vienna sausages for dinner, and they don't care that they're CLOGGING THEIR ARTERIES. I told my brother that, I reminded him that he has HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE PROBLEMS because of all the shit he eats and he just bashed me!! Just convinced him to bake the potatoes in the oven instead of frying them but still, why are they doing this to themselves? The worst thing is, you know what my brother told me?? "IT'S NOT THAT DEEP, I'LL WALK ON THE TREADMILL TOMORROW OR SOMETHING" as if just exercising solved everything. And he doesn't even EXERCISE, he just walks at like 1km/h speed for like 20 minutes and pretends he's done something. I do more activity walking to the grocery shop (because I'm the one who walks to the near stores to buy, and if I'm not home they'll just drive there even if the stores are like two blocks away). This is just a rant but I'm so angry at them the whole time. I can't wait to move out and eat real food. Apologies for the bad English too. Now I'll go cook and later I'll be hearing them complain about their stomachs hurting or something similar. [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 31 Jul 2020 08:33 PM PDT Hey everyone, 24/m/350lbs here. I'm on day three of logging my foods and exercising. Took the time to recharge the Fitbit, redownloaded all the apps, got my food scale again.It's been a few years(and about 100lbs) since I posted here but these last few days have made me feel so good already. So far I've lost 4lbs already since my weigh in this morning. I've always fluctuated with my weight my whole life, last year in 2019 I went from 376lbs to 311 landscaping with a family member from about 5am-7pm for two days a week for about 4 months. I'm now a banker and hardly move and realized I've caked most of that back on. My routine is jogging—crawling by the end—a mile and then doing 100 jump rope jumps and finishing up with some sets on my front stairs. Surprisingly I can still hit two blocks without stopping. Anyways, I hope I can keep you guys updated on my journey. Even if there is no interest, just writing this makes me want to stick with it. [link] [comments] |
| 30 Day Accountability Challenge - Day 31 Wrap Up! Posted: 31 Jul 2020 05:20 PM PDT Hey losers, We made it to the end of the month! Let's wrap it on up! Here's next month's sign up post! Weight by end of month (199 lbs, preferably trend weight): Maintained. Stay within calorie range (1700 ish): I ate some feelings this month. I'm not proud & it is still a struggle. I can tell mental health wise I've gotten into a bad habit of using food as a soothing method again. But I'm learning, tracking & striving for better so that is still a win. Exercise 5 days a week: Would have liked higher intensity & more strength workout. 25/31 days. Self-care time (JOURNALING, working on love journals, beauty treatments, drawing 0/23 days): My mental health says I did not do enough on this. I will do better. Gotta keep that battery charged. Try a new recipe once a week: An imitation crab salad with homemade sauce, a crock pot Italian wedding soup, Russian dressing, a weird brocooli slaw concoction & a chicken lemon orzo soup. 4/5 weeks. 50 pages of The Body Keeps the Score: An attempt was made. See self care. Gotta keep striving kids! 1/50 pages. No fast food or candy from the work dish: There was a day with too much taco bell. Still better than a previous version of me. Listen to my effing body: I'm not great at this. My body wants more HIIT & intensity to address the anxiety. Will do better! Be more mindful & express gratitude, avoid the hedonic treadmill: I've got not much to say here. I need to be journaling more. Mindfulness is a tough gig when it's just disaster control. Your turn kids! How was your month? [link] [comments] |
