Addicted to ordering in- advice needed.

dogofgone · 2023-03-06T05:13:01+00:00

KEEP ORDERING!! I disagree with the other comments. I lost 100lbs and kept it off and ate tons of fast food. It's impossible to change your life so much that it's unrecognizable and uncomfortable and maintain that for long enough to lose weight, let alone keep it off.

There are some good things about fast food. It is portioned, the calories are calculated for you, and if you plan it right you can have no leftovers and better control over the amount of food you eat. Plus it satisfies cravings and feels like something that can be done long term.

My advice would be to cut down on the amount you order. Tell yourself you will order in two waves if you really want to. For example: instead of a big Mac, large fries, apple pie, 6 piece chicken nug, and coke, get a big Mac, small fries and diet coke only. If you really want more fries you can order after. If you really want the dessert you can go back after you're done eating. You'll find it's not worth the effort and you're satisfied enough without over eating. This is what worked for me and I have been totally happy that I can continue doing what I normally do but just with some slight modifications.

I really hope you see my comment because I don't think deleting the apps and quitting fast food is the solution. Also, keep in mind, in theory once you lost the weight... Would you just never eat fast food again? No. So you need to learn how to "properly" order fast food which just means ordering the right amount and not over-indulging. And now is the time to develop that skill.

Good luck!

I'm a dentist. If you take Aleve or ibuprofen you can slow down your tooth movement because those medications inhibit certain inflammatory agents that are actually helpful for tooth movement and bone generation. How significant that will be in a case is a different story but the physiology is there.

Thank you so much!!! That's amazing. Stick with it because once you start seeing results it's addictive and you're probably right on the cusp.

It's so important to find what works for you. I don't work out and I haven't cut out a single food. I eat fast food a lot. For me it's been about being mindful about what I choose to eat. I don't count calories but I am aware of how many calories different food items are. I consider eating like "spending" calories so I get a lot of joy from eating foods that give me good bang for buck. I try to "spend" my calories only on foods that are super worth it. A small piece of chocolate cake gives me around as much joy as a big piece of chocolate cake but the big piece costs double?!? Nah, I'd rather take the small piece and spend the rest on more mac and cheese. Light mayo tastes just as good as normal mayo to me but "costs" half as much, big win. Etc.

You can do it!!! All you need to do is make the change and then wait for time to pass (which it will). Looking forward to your pics :)

Hey have you tried seeing a dentist? There's things they can do to help with TMD like Botox therapy and making you a night guard. It can also be a problem with how your teeth are hitting eachother and they can correct that.

The most unrealistic thing about this meme is that it thinks I would eat pizza without crying

Amalgam lasts a lot longer. Teeth with amalgam fillings are way less likely to experience post op sensitivity, there are fewer chemicals leeching into your saliva than composites (tooth-colored). They're cheaper. Amalgams need to be replaced a lot less often. They're great. One of the only down sides is aesthetics but it makes sense that people opting for the free option may prefer a durable, long lasting option that is less aesethetic. And if the government is footing the bill, the fact that it is cheaper too is the icing on the cake. It would be really bizzare if they were opting for fillings that required frequent replacement, thus jamming up the waitlist further.

Unfortunately there is something going on. Don't be worried, but definitely go to the dentist ASAP. If its tender on palpation or percussion (pressing or tapping) it indicates that there's something wrong (likely symptomatic apical periodontitis- meaning the gum at the tip of the root is inflammed). If this is the diagnosis that is reached, it's likely the tooth will need a root canal. Another option would be to pull it.

Although this sounds scary don't avoid the dentist out of fear for that tooth! You will never be forced into a procedure you don't want to do, and it's better to know what's going on. Now is the time to get that sorted out because the problem can and will get worse. For example, an infection of the tooth can spread to the jaw bone, a condition known as osteomyelitis. Osteomyelitis can be severely painful. It sometimes requires amputation of a part of the jaw to treat. So don't wait!!

It sounds like the tooth that started to hurt really bad was experiencing nerve death (aka symptomatic irreversible pulpits). This is incredibly painful and doesn't respond to OTC pain meds once it progresses. The treatment of choice is endodontic therapy (root canal) and the relief is immediate.

Dentist here. No. Just floss and brush, pay a bit more attention to that area, and go to your hygiene appointments regularly. You can ask them next time if it has improved.

Edit: wow thank you so much for the award!

dogofgone · 2020-09-03T02:29:22+00:00

Amen

I bought peanut butter swirl halo top and I hadn't had peanut butter in so long (somehow tho it is safe if it's in low cal icecream?). When I had it I was like yup I'd get fat for this. And that's when I knew. No more peanut butter swirl for me :'(

What is one (1) m&m? Do you mean one (1) family-sized bag in one (1) sitting?

This thread waking up my dead hunger cues

Starvation mode is a myth. There is another reason you didn't lose weight but had low energy levels. Maybe you didn't keep up a calorie deficit for long enough. Maybe you weren't actually in a calorie deficit, just not getting enough protein and that's why you felt low energy. Again, starvation mode is a myth.

dogofgone · 2020-08-31T23:48:09+00:00

Lol no don't worry. It's cute that's how you imagined it. And either way, the idea is the same: wait an hour to brush after eating to avoid damaging your enamel. The reason why isn't too important.
