| I Lost 85lbs! Finally posting before and after pics, and moving onto maintenance! Posted: 02 Jan 2021 08:25 AM PST Before and after pics: https://imgur.com/a/TB437uE Height:5'4" CW:135lbs SW:220lbs Hi everyone! I (F21) have been posting on this sub periodically since I started losing weight almost a year and a half ago. As I've gotten closer to my goal and my weight loss has slowed down my posts have become less frequent, but I thought it would be nice to post a final update here to celebrate the start of maintenance, and the start of 2021. I have been overweight and/or obese for most of my life. I grew up with a parent with very severe mental health issues including (but not limited to) serious eating disorders and body dysmorphia. Seeing my mother's extremely unhealthy behaviors surrounding fitness and weight loss lead me to believe that I had to choose between physical health and mental health. For many years I believed that fitness was only for people that were vain, sad, and obsessed with their physical appearance. I thought "fuck, I'd rather be fat and love myself than be skinny and miserable like my mother"-- so I wouldn't touch fitness or dieting with a ten foot pole. Luckily, going to college and getting some space from my mother allowed me to develop my own, healthier relationship with fitness. I started working out regularly my freshman year. Even though it was a hobby I enjoyed, I saw little progress because my diet was a mess. Then during the summer of 2019 I found this sub, and started learning more about nutrition and calorie tracking. I adjusted my eating habits and started losing weight. Losing weight was never really my primary goal-- being healthier overall was my goal, and I understood that losing weight was what I needed to do to get there. Losing weight was a means to an end. I think this mindset helped me succeed, because it prevented me from glorifying/obsessing over weight loss in an unhealthy way, if that makes sense. While I was still obese, I lost around 10lbs a month. Once I passed the threshold from obese to overweight my pace slowed down to 5lbs a month, and for the last several months of the process where I was within the healthy BMI range it was around 2lbs a month. I've gotten really into running since I started losing weight, and one of the best parts of weight loss has been noticing how much longer and faster I can run without 85 extra lbs weighing me down! I've also started doing strength training routinely in recent months. I've been maintaining 135lbs for a month or two now. Since I'm not focusing on losing weight anymore, I've shifted my focus to building muscle, and improving my strength and endurance. I've found having goals to focus on helps me stay engaged with my workouts. Fitness has absolutely become one of my passions in the last year and a half! I'm constantly blown away by what the human body can do; and i'm super excited to keep setting new goals and pushing myself to meet them in coming years. I'm happy I've managed to make this change relatively early in my adult life, so I have so many years ahead of me to continue reaping the benefits of a healthier lifestyle and a strong body. It feels good when personal wellness becomes a hobby instead of a chore. Huge thank you to everyone who's taken the time to read all this. If ya'll have any questions for me (especially folks with similar stats) feel free to ask. Hope you all have a happy and healthy 2021 :) [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 02 Jan 2021 12:11 PM PST Here's what I mean by that. If Hello Fresh or whatever helps you meal plan in a healthy way, get it. If you suck at making salads, buy those salad kit bags at the grocery store and only use half the dressing inside. Buy healthy frozen dinners. When you do cook, make multiple servings of food and freeze extra servings for later. Buy snacks that make sense macros wise and calorie wise that don't require prep, and keep them on you. Weight loss doesn't have to be cooking 24/7. In fact, if cooking isn't your thing, that's fine! Make your food as easily accessible as possible. I lost ~100 pounds a few years ago and I work with all of these strategies years later. Keep it simple, and it will make weight loss much easier. Best of luck everyone! [link] [comments] |
| IM UNDER 140 FOR THE FIRST TIME IN SIX YEARS! Posted: 02 Jan 2021 02:14 AM PST Hey y'all! I started out at 195 last October. I'm 5'4 and my normal weight had been around 145 for a while, so it was quite a difference. I was drinking all the time, eating shitty food, being in a loop of depression. October 1, 2019 I decided to do sober October and that decision changed my life. I just hit 15 months sober and this morning I hit my lowest weight yet of 139.8. I haven't seen under 140 in so, so long. Quitting drinking at 25 was hard. But being able to be present, healthy, and happy at 26 was absolutely worth that struggle. My goal is 125 and I am determined to get there in 2021 by keeping up my sustainable, healthy habits and honoring my body. Anyone who is just starting out- enjoy the journey! It always takes a while if you are doing it the right way. Honor and love yourself from beginning to end, no exceptions. You are doing this for yourself and for no one else. Sending everyone love for 2021! Edit: holy SHIT YALL. Thanks for all the awards! I don't have people to celebrate with me due to covid and y'all have MADE MY DAY [link] [comments] |
| Stop telling me I’m supposed to be big! Posted: 02 Jan 2021 11:38 AM PST Look, I get it. I'm 6'6 and the size of a bear. But that doesn't mean I'm supposed to be morbidly obese! I've been working out and CICO dieting for ~3 months now and several people around me have started saying, "You're supposed to be a big guy, just accept it." "It's okay if you cope with food, that's just your coping mechanism." No. Just no. I'm not supposed to be 400LBS, my body should NOT be majority adipose tissue, I'm not supposed to get tired from walking up one flight of stairs, and I'm making a conscious choice to live a better life. I don't need to be okay with the fact that I cope with food, I need to make/have been making the changes to live a healthier more fulfilled life and I'm tired of hearing everyone tell me I'm not supposed to be in shape. I get it, its scary that a friend/family member of yours is going through a big change and humans don't like change. But accept that I know what's best for my body, that I've done the research, and that I'm an adult who can be in control of his own life. You're not supporting who I am, you're enabling who is used to be. I don't have time to be at everyone's beck and call anymore because I'm taking control of my life, I can't be the problem solver for everyone else and then throw myself to the curb. This is who I am now, this is who I've always wanted to be, and I've never been happier. [link] [comments] |
| Too fat to play guitar �� Have to make a change Posted: 02 Jan 2021 05:59 PM PST Sorry for the text wall. This is the lowest feeling I've experienced in a good long while. I made a new year's resolution. I've always wanted to learn to play the guitar, and this year I took the plunge, bought one, and started practicing. So far I've been working on scales and it's been going great, but tonight I started trying to learn chords. I was feeling a lot of pain in my wrist while fretting the chords, and it only took me a few minutes to realize the cause; my gut being in the way prevents the guitar from staying level. The fretboard hangs like this \ in front of my body instead of like this | . The net result is that I have to crank my wrist too hard to form the hand shapes necessary to fret the strings. I'm literally too fat to properly play the guitar. I've been overweight my whole life, but things really spiralled out of control about a year ago when I got my CDL and became a truck driver. Sitting on my butt all day every day, eating truck stop food, chain smoking, it has all absolutely wrecked my health, my confidence, my mobility, and now it's screwing up my dreams. It has to stop now. I don't know exactly what the strategy is yet. I'm still working on that. But I can't keep going like this. Thanks for letting me vent. Edit: plugging in my other post, where I'm asking for diet planning assistance https://www.reddit.com/r/loseit/comments/kpbsaa/can_someone_just_tell_me_what_the_hell_to_eat/?utm_medium=android_app&utm_source=share [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 02 Jan 2021 07:42 PM PST So, I have a huge sweet tooth. I'm 6'1 and back up to around 230, I was around 190 at my peak, with about a 20%-ish BMI. Then the pandemic hit, i got lazy, a touch of depression, and other factors made it difficult to keep that sort of weight off. I fell back into binge eating, but I figured out a way that I can still eat what i want (in moderation, of course) that's a step in the right direction for me. Cook everything. Just this past week, I had a huge craving for cinnamon rolls. So, instead of running down to my local bakery or grocer and getting some pre-baked cinnamon rolls or a roll of Pillsbury ones, I made them myself. They tasted better, and for some reason, I don't completely gorge myself on them like I would if I had just bought them. Similarly, if I want, say, potato chips, I'll have to make them myself instead of buying a bag of Lays. Obviously the nutrition isn't perfect but homemade cinnamon rolls, cookies, potato chips, etc are usually miles better than the store-bought variety. I'll take any win I can get that helps me overcome my food addiction. [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 02 Jan 2021 09:18 PM PST Hey all, just wanted to share some things that might be helpful for someone who's just starting their weight loss journey (or anyone really). I was a classic yo-yo dieter, & struggled a lot with binge eating, then restricting, then doing it all over again. Here's what helped me stop.
In addition, it's a misconception that you have to be hungry between meals & eat tiny portions & "feel" like you're losing weight (maybe that was just me, but surely I'm not alone). It is possible to find satisfying meals & healthy snacks & not feel deprived! I'm not saying you'll never go hungry in the beginning, but remember the goal is to make eating healthy a lifestyle- you can lose weight & feel satiated at the same time!
Chips & salsa (whole wheat & as unprocessed as possible) are pretty great - just make sure you measure out portions & stick to them. Lettuce with Olive Garden dressing is easy for me personally to eat a ton of, as long as I watch the dressing amount. Deli turkey or chicken on 100 calorie sandwich thins work well. Even dark chocolate can give you a little more bang for your calorie buck than regular chocolate. The same concept can be applied to meals too, not just snacks like I just mentioned.
Edit #5: If possible, find healthy alternatives to your favorite foods, that you really like. This might come a bit later in the journey, but eventually, I had to work on not binging on pecans & turkey sandwiches. Like, those were better than cookies at one point. I was unfortunately cursed with genetics prone to binge eating, so you likely won't have to worry, but the point is that eventually healthy food WILL taste good enough for it to not feel like a chore to eat. Sorry for the essay, but I hope someone can find this useful! [link] [comments] |
| i stuck to a calorie deficit over vacation!! Posted: 02 Jan 2021 09:05 PM PST i posted on here almost 2 weeks ago deciding to lose weight, and while I haven't been able to weigh myself yet for the past week i've been trying to stick to an approx 500 cal daily deficit-and I did! i let myself be a little flexible since it was over the holidays and I spent the past 5 days traveling with friends to go snowboard. this is the first time i've tried to lose weight outside of having an eating disorder and i'm gluten free now as well, so being able to stick to it while surrounded by friends and alcohol and limited food options just made me super proud. i'm heading back to school tomorrow and i can't wait to keep it up! thanks for the feedback on my last post, happy new year!

| I can’t destroy my body anymore Posted: 02 Jan 2021 10:07 PM PST I've always been heavy. Since I was 9 Ive been overweight and now that I'm 33 I am now at 347 lbs which could be the heaviest I've been. This quarantine has done a number on why were already bad habits and has pushed my drinking to a point that I am concerned I'm an alcoholic and any sense of control over my food choice has gone completely out the window. On New Years Eve my right foot swelled up to the point that I can barely walk, I'm not sure if it's gout (like I've had in the past) a stress fracture or a torn ligament but now I am hobbling around the house and can't even put a shoe on. I had already planned on starting this year off right and while I'm disappointed that I can't go out on more walks like I wanted this has been a reminder that what I'm doing to my body could possibly damage it beyond repair someday. I want to be healthy for my family fiancé and future children. I want to be able to participate in activities and not feel embarrassed when I can't even go on a walk without being out of breath. I'm tired of people worrying about my health. I just want to be able to live. For real for once instead of hiding behind all of this self destruction with food and alcohol. I'm hoping that I have the willpower and discipline to finally be consistent this time but this is how I'm feeling right now. [link] [comments] |
| Just had a surprising epiphany Posted: 02 Jan 2021 08:10 PM PST So I'm one of those weirdos that looks at fitspo on Tumblr. I know it's not the healthiest habit but I'm good at spotting photoshop jobs and know that every photo has been taken at the optimum angle, with good lighting and then had the skin smoothed to make it appear perfect and pore free. Sadly I do see some comments under obviously edited photos declaring a physically impossible physique 'perfection'. I just look at strong, fit girls being rad for motivation and it really works for me. There are great recipes on there too. If you're still with me, on to the actual epiphany. I was looking at this one fine girl with a perfect booty and the thought crossed my mind 'I wish I could have her body'. Immediately after I imagined waking up with a new body as I have thousands of times before. But then I realised that's not what I want. That would be a disappointment. When I make it to my goal I want my body to have earned it. I want to train it to do incredible things and finally make it my friend. I no longer want a magic fix. I'm really ready to do the work.

| Eight more pounds to my first goal! Posted: 02 Jan 2021 08:29 PM PST F 5'9" SW 293 CW 257 I am a type 1 diabetic and have been overweight since exactly when I moved from Regular insulin to fast-acting insulin. It makes me sooooo hungry. I was also in an unhealthy relationship, depressed, and worked at McDonalds, where you get free food during your shift. A perfect storm for a weight-gain disaster. I ballooned from around 150 to 293 lbs at the highest I know, it's possible it's been higher at times. My family has never really commented on my weight, but they are very judgmental of strangers' weights. My dad always says, "Wow, that guy must weigh an eighth of a ton!", meaning 250 pounds. Needless to say, this does not make me feel good. I'm a long time lurker on this sub, and I have identified some of my unhealthy behaviors and attitudes toward food from reading posts on here. I've started eating much more in moderation and low-carb. As my weight drops, my need for as much insulin drops, and my appetite also has dropped. The hunger was still there, though. Recently, my endocrinologist started me on some type 2 diabetic drugs, and suddenly the hunger is gone! I'm not constantly craving food! When I weighed myself today, I was down 36 pounds from my staring weight! In 8 more pounds, I'll be less than an eighth of a ton! I'm so excited! I'm hoping to someday feel confident enough to post before and after pictures. [link] [comments] |
| How I lost 30lbs during quarantine Posted: 02 Jan 2021 07:26 AM PST I was always known as the chubby girl in my family. Don't get me wrong, my family is awesome and supportive but I always felt they viewed me as the chubby one. My weakness is not really food, but socializing with people, and extra calories always come as the unwanted side dish. I have a hard time turning down food in social situations because I felt like it put a damper on the hedonistic and go-go mood of every gathering. I never wanted to be the one who's not down to get drunk food or grab lunch at Shake Shack. This quarantine gave me the opportunity to make a change. With social plans basically outlawed in New York, I started counting calories and implemented a strict workout regimen. I tracked my calories on MyFitnessPal and spent my free time meal prepping healthy meals. Additionally, I started using this new fitness app called Boostcamp (I found this on reddit actually). I did the "Fit at Every Size" home workout program and I'm starting to see really good results especially in my core and my legs. I've used Peloton and Nike Training Club before but honestly, they were all too hard for me and I gave up after 2 workouts lol, whereas I actually got through 10 weeks of Boostcamp already, which I'm super proud of myself for!! It hasn't always been easy and I've fallen off the wagon many times (I definitely ate too much this holiday season ha…). What's different this time though is that I'm determined to not let one bad day discourage me. While I try my best to be good, I'm trying really hard to not criticize myself when things don't go exactly right and pick up where I left off. I'm still early in my fitness journey and I hope this can become a lifelong habit :) [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 02 Jan 2021 04:12 PM PST I'm a 5'2F in my mid-20s. This time last year, I was 197 lbs. It was by far the heaviest I had ever been. I put on over 25 pounds after my parent died two years before, was working a stressful job, and not prioritizing my health. At the beginning of quarantine, I decided I needed to change my life. I took up running and began taking portion control seriously. I'm now 163 pounds and out of the "obese" weight category for the first time in years! My mile time dropped from over 14 minutes to an 8:50 minute mile. I like photos of myself again. I sleep better. I feel energetic and strong. I still want to lose about 20 more pounds, but I know that I've already made so many positive changes and will continue to make sustainable progress. I want everyone making New Year's resolutions to know that if you want your life to look different, you can make that happen! Change has been hard and slow, but it's possible! [link] [comments] |
| 30 Day Accountability Challenge - Day 2 Posted: 02 Jan 2021 04:33 PM PST Hello losers, I hope day 2 of 2021 is going well for y'all! Weigh in daily, enter into Libra & report here: 239 lbs, lbs trend weight. Reporting even if I don't like it! Stay within calorie range (1800): I'm a little high today, looking at 2000 ish depending on how much of my dinner I end up eating. Twas a weird day & I had some unplanned chocolate chips. Better than yesterday, looking to do even better tomorrow. Meal prep, pre planning dinners & homemade coffee beverages. 1/1 days. Exercise 5 days a week: Vigorous cleaning today. 2/2 days. Self-care time (journaling, beauty treatments, anything that fills the bucket): Difficult conversations with people whose opinion I value & respect. Now I'd like a nap. Try a new recipe once a week: Hoping to try new meal preps. X/5 weeks. Express mindfulness and or gratitude: Today I am grateful for Trader Joe's. Sometimes they make a semi responsible dinner just as easy & tasty as take out & mad respect for that. Plus I have learned I cannot be trusted with Jo-Jo cookies from that fine establishment so I think we understand each other. Your turn kids! I'm excited to read about your day 2! [link] [comments] |
| Fascinating! It’s not willpower: it’s HABIT Posted: 02 Jan 2021 11:01 AM PST hidden brain podcast "habits" episode this was a crazy good thing to hear, lose it fam!! in a nutshell: it's not WILLPOWER that helps u change / succeed at weight loss & maintenance ... it's developing new habits that then become unconscious behavior! So you don't even have to think about it (as much). Like driving a car - you're not spending the entire trip thinking "I'm driving" - it's more like going on in the background as you think about other things. One excellent example was people who have developed a healthy habit now don't even SEE the cake in the fridge - thus they don't need any "willpower" to resist it. To them it is literally not there. Not an option. When I discovered I was allergic to gluten, suddenly wheat products "disappeared" for me. I knew it would make me sick so I "stopped seeing them" around me. No longer willpower based but habit! And I have prepared a lot of bagels for my kids .... not tempting once. (Now, gluten free mac n cheese etc... is another story hahah) It's the building of the habit that is tough, but once you do it - it's nearly like magic. (EDIT to say - not magic! But another tool in the toolbox) ❤️I have linked the podcast !! [link] [comments] |
| Water Weight is INSANE - Already Down 7 Pounds Since Christmas Posted: 02 Jan 2021 09:59 AM PST So in early December I was around 192-194 - I let myself indulge for the week of Christmas guilt-free and just enjoyed myself as much as possible. I was going to continue this until Jan 1 but ended up weighing myself on Dec 26 and was 199.8 - this made me panic a bit as I told myself I'd never let myself out of Onederland again and that was too close for comfort - so I decided to get back on track right away and not wait for New Years. So now exactly one week later I am already down to 192.8 - 7 pounds in one week. Water weight is INSANE! but I'm so happy. For anyone who is getting back on track yesterday/today after the holidays and may get a bit of 'sticker shock' when getting back on the scale for the first time in a bit - wanted to share my experience as water weight is truly unbelievable sometimes. All the best and Happy New Year! [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 03 Jan 2021 01:00 AM PST (F22 5'1 SW:161lbs CW:139lbs GW:120lbs) So the first time I posted on this subreddit I was feeling pretty worried over the rate of my weight loss. (I am on a Low Carb diet along with doing Intermittent Fasting & regular exercise [Cardio & Resistance]) I thought that I was going too slow since I kept seeing a lotta people in this subreddit who lost the same amount of weight I lost in just a month as compared to me who took several months. Anyways, after posting my worries and getting the encouragement I needed I made sure to stick to my journey and wouldn't you know it, I started to see the changes those "measly" 10lbs had on my body. Clothes that barely fit before are now loose on me and those that fit perfectly now dwarf my body. Not to mention that the weight loss as helped with my overall health as well. Like with my hormones since I had PCOS for how many years now and has always experienced utterly painful cramps during periods, the weight loss and overall healthier eating habits and exercise has made it so that for the first time in years I didn't experience cramps that made me feels like I wanna die during my last period. My own self-confidence also got a huge boost as well because when I see myself now, I can't help but think that the me that I am now is all because I finally decided to shut up and actually get things done instead of saying that I'll do it later or next year. Though I still have halfway to go, I'm more than happy to be entering the new year 20lbs down with just half a year of consistency and discipline. Starting is always difficult and sticking with it even moreso, but we'll get there. It doesn't matter how long it takes us to reach our goals, what matters is that we did our best to reach for them. The you that decided to stand up and fight is already a hundred times better than the one that decided to never even try. [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 02 Jan 2021 02:03 PM PST I've been yo-yo dieting, trying everything under the sun for the last 10+ years. Always right around a healthy BMI. I go up a bit, and down a bit. This past Thanksgiving I had a close friend die of a massive heart attack, and knew I wanted to make a change after creeping into the red zone. I started off doing IF - 16:8 but I always have a problem binging right before my time would 'expire'. Not healthy. So I kept at it but slowly decreased my added sugar until it was less than 8 grams. I still eat a bit of fruit, and some raisins and prunes, but that's it. I can't believe how much my cravings have went down. I now eat from around 7am to noon and then call it for the day. No problem at all. I lost my water weight (I pee every 2 hours for about 2 hours when I get off sugar), and am down 4-5 lbs since then. Before I would think about what I was going to eat next, what treat I was going to have, etc. Now I make sure I get a good variety of fats and proteins with some fruit, and I'm good. Somedays I will even stretch out and do 20-24 hours without it really affecting me. Sugar, it's a powerful drug but once I kicked it, everything got so incredibly easy. [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 02 Jan 2021 11:09 AM PST I don't have many pics of my at my heaviest but when i started Keto Sept 21 2019 i weighed 317 and my size 48 stretchy jeans were too tight, that's when i knew i had to fix my life. 15 months on strict keto and i went from 317 to 181 and from a size 50 to a comfortable 34 , i cut out carbs cold Turkey, just stopped eating them, all my favorite foods gone in a blink. Best thing i ever did, i don't have many before pics for obvious reasons i hated pictures of myself, i was the guy always flipping off the camera etc., Anything is possible! Stick to it! If i could give 2 tips the first would be to get a biometric scale you can use with your phone, watching all of your numbers change, not just your weight is very motivational and second i would tell you every time you move down 2 sizes to throw away the old clothes and buy a couple items that fit. Don't keep them around for a crutch, if you have bigger clothes there and you start to slip it's too easy to just put on the old bigger clothes, throw them out. So i have one before on my phone this was from Foo Fighters in SD [link] [comments] |

| Posted: 02 Jan 2021 06:26 AM PST Hi everyone. My resolution for 2020 was to get below 200lbs. I was 215lbs. Today i weighed in at 188! This is the thinnest I've been since i was put on the meds for my bi-polar disorder 7 years ago, which causes me to gain 80lbs. I owe it to changing jobs. I went from a position that was mostly lifting and carrying to a position that is mostly walking (7-10 miles a day). Lifting kept me "relatively in shape" according to my doctor despite the pounds, but the walking has melted the fat off. I am thrilled I'm finally under 200 again. It's helped the pain a lot. I have multiple chronic pain issues and for a while i could barely walk without sharp stabbing pain. It still hurts a lot but not nearly as much. Bad days are an 8 instead of a 9 and good days are a 7 instead of an 8. On really good days it's down to a 6! I'm hoping to keep the loss going. I'm a happy loser. [link] [comments] |

| Can someone just tell me what the hell to eat?! Posted: 02 Jan 2021 06:38 PM PST There is so much conflicting information on which foods are healthy and which aren't that I'm just horribly paralyzed by confusion and indecision every time I sit down to make a meal plan and/or shopping list. I have no idea what I'm supposed to be eating. Also, I've eaten fast food so habitually for so long that, when it comes to real food, I don't even know what I like. My palate is so shell-shocked from salty, greasy, sugary, processed foods that I don't even know what the hell to buy at the grocery store. Every time I try to make a diet game plan, I get stressed and just shut down. So someone please just tell me what to eat. Don't worry about whether or not I'll like it. I'll learn to like it. Don't worry about whether or not I'm able to prepare it. I'll figure it the hell out. As long as the ingredients can be bought at Walmart and it doesn't need to be baked or grilled on an open flame (I'm a trucker so I don't have an oven or a grill), I'll make it work. Just give me a one day meal plan that I can repeat daily. Please make this simple for me. 😅☠️ Edit: aiming for 2200 calories per day [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 02 Jan 2021 10:34 AM PST While I do feel great knowing I've lost all this weight, my one fear is that since Thanksgiving and Christmas I've just been binging Alot more. Got back on sugar, soda deserts etc. I'm gonna try to cut it off again and hopefully do what I did last year without having sugar for a month and constantly watching what I eat. I think the one issue to me though is just what I have at my house, i do my best to use CICO but I just felt unsatisfied with what I ate at times before Thanksgiving and such, and I think with them being over I don't have to worry anymore. The best I can say on this is, I don't want to eat americanized processed food. I'm sick of seeing how much sodium, fat and sugar is in that stuff compared to any other counterpart. I was looking up a recipe on biscotti since I wanted to try making it, only when I searched up "Traditional Italian" did it not ask for an entire cup of sugar (Also something else I want to do, measure by weight not cups as it's insanely inaccurate imo), or 3 teaspoons salt. Same with cookies, anytime I specifically added "European styled ___" or with another country, the amount of salt, sugar and processed ingredients drops dramatically. I don't get it, why the hell does everything need to be sweet. I don't understand how whenever I try to not use bitterness, or try drinking seltzer I'm critized for the bland flavor. Like why do I need everything to be sweet? I don't get it. Anyways that's my rant . [link] [comments] |
