It’s definitely a daily struggle for me too. I haven’t been this size in a while. I had a small relapse in 2022 and got pretty small. Then I started drinking more to cope with emotions and that contributed to the weight gain. I’m not overweight by any means but I’m bigger than I feel comfortable with.
I love avocados. Especially on toast or bagels. I also like bagels with lox too. I do love smoothies. I’ve just been in kind of a bind with funds lately so I haven’t had a really good grocery shopping day to get what I want. When I lived with my parents it was easier to eat what I wanted.It’s good you don’t care what other people think. I definitely wish I didn’t care. I stopped posting on TikTok because people were trolling and calling me fat. Which really messed with my head. So I care too much about what people think. Going to a gym sounds nice. I’d really like to start that again.
I take adderall for my adhd (Have since I was a tween) so it kinda suppresses my appetite.
I can do soy shakes. Just gotta find them. I like to make my own sometimes with unsweetened almond milk or oat milk. A lot of the shakes I’ve noticed contain milk. I just need to find one that’ll agree with me. I tend to shop at Walmart and Publix.
I’m glad to hear it’s been manageable. That always makes me happy hearing other people make progress with their Ed’s. I’m glad you found food that makes you happier.
When I was going through this phase, I researched foods that the body needs to sustain itself.
So I'm not sure if you are a vegan but I eat, chicken breast alot for protein. Lean ground beef for the guy. Fish for the brain. Pork loin for the iron. No other red meats.
I also like broccoli, spinach, salad and blue berries. Plantings over bananas.
It's tough in this economy. When I first moved out on my own I went to the food bank a lot. I would also go to drop ins to get meals in my college years. It really made a difference. Drop-in are places that give food, like churches and organizations.
Now I'm doing okay so I don't need to go. But it's nice to know I can go if I need to go.
People never change. Think of it this way--we all experience the same feelings and have the same desires and wants and needs. No one is perfect and those that seem perfect aren't.
I don't care what people think of because they are not directly in my life. I'm past the whole acceptance phase of my life and I am content being under the radar. I've done the club scene, the bar scene. I'm too old now to care.
My idea of happiness would be me myself and I eating a bunch of junk food while watching my favorite shows. And if I can get a good shag out of it, with a hot guy then that's a bonus. 😂
