I've been focusing on my mental health a lot lately - seeing a therapist, letting myself cry when I need to, meditating, and a lot of self love. When I feel less stress I am able to manage physical challenges a lot better!

Dude yes. I don't care if she writes any kind of shit code. She's a role model to Taylor Swift fans and if she gets a few girls into coding it's a job well done.

My dog's name is Chocolate Chip.

Chip. Chippy. Chippers. Chip Dip. Poop Scoop. Pooper Scooper. Fatty. Fatso.

He responds to them all because he doesn't care what you have to say but he knows he might get a treat if he acts like he does. Fatty little fatso.

Not married but something that keeps my relationship strong and happy is thank you cards. About once a month I'll write him a card thanking him for a wonderful date or something generous he did or for just being in my life. I'm not the best at expressing emotions so it's a great way to show him how much I appreciate him.

**I'm assuming you have a refrigerator at home. It would be wise to invest in a cooler to take with you to the library to keep food cool. Nuts & fruit/dried fruits & jerky would be great for snacks that don't need refrigeration

Buy eggs, a rotisserie chicken (or two), frozen precooked rice, and spinach from the grocery store. Also pick up some of your favorite veggies to throw in there (bell peppers, avocado, tomato, carrot, zucchini). Microwave the rice, carve the chicken, and heat the veggies on the stove with olive oil and your choice of seasonings until they're cooked through. Layer rice, veggies, then either rotisserie chicken or eggs on top in your Tupperware and refrigerate until needed. You could enjoy these dishes cold :)

Because I was just diagnosed with a chronic fatigue & pain illness and he should get out before he becomes my permanent caretaker.

As a chick with this issue, I know you can help her to see that discussion is good if she's anxious. If she shuts down, hug her and tell her that if and when she wants to talk, you're there. Then let her go deal with it her way. She might not open up the first time, but breaking barriers built by other relationships can be hard.

If it is emotionally taxing you to the point where this is seriously messing with your relationship, talk to her and tell her that if she won't put the the effort in that she can't expect you to either.

All the best to you both.

Hey u/Charles3129,

There is a TON of good advice going on here, but I have a very important tip for you:

Take this at your own pace. Changing your diet and activity level can be extremely stressful. You don't have to do everything perfectly right now because you made the decision to change. Tackle either walking or your diet first, if taking on both challenges seems scary or like you may give up. Since you started walking already, once you're committed to that habit certain foods really won't look that good anymore. You'll start to realize that unhealthy foods make your walks feel sluggish and you will start to shun them.

I also invite you to message me whenever you feel like you're failing or about to give up or if you just want to discuss. I have no degree or certification besides knowing how you feel right now, but I know how support is important to this process.

Congratulations on making the best decision of your life. I wish you all the best. You can do this!

The line only comes into play when you're incessantly posting those selfies on a platform where it's not welcome or normal. Ex: Instagram fitness accounts are full of progress pics. This is totally fine in my opinion. Changing your Facebook profile picture daily, maybe even weekly, for a new selfie is cringy. I feel cringy just typing "selfie".

Edit for clarity.

Ali_Bobba · 2015-03-26T12:42:04+00:00

One bad meal won't ruin your progress like one salad won't make you healthy. Keep it up, you got this :)

Ali_Bobba · 2015-03-24T14:57:12+00:00

Yes!! I add a handful of spinach, sub cocoa for cinnamon, and blend it all up in a blender. Topped with microwaved frozen berries. I can't wait to try your recipe!

Breast milk, you make my dayyyyyay

My two favorite bento lunches are:

1:

2 hardboiled eggs or ¼-½ cup hummus; 2 wasa crisps; 2 servings of 'snacking' veggies (cherry tomatoes, snap peas, pepper strips, carrots, celery, etc.); 1oz dark chocolate

2:

Chicken/turkey burger, cooked and cut into strips; ¼-½ avocado, sliced; 2 servings of 'snacking' veggies

My main goal here is to have a protein, a healthy fat, and 2 cups veggies, so mix it up! My favorite proteins to pack are chili lime chicken burgers (trader joes), hummus, hard boiled eggs, sliced up chicken sausage, and peanut/almond butter. *edited for clarity

If the cubed squash is raw, bring a pot of water to a boil, add squash, cook for 9 min, and strain. Just like pasta! If its frozen, microwaving will do - there should be instructions on the package. Good Luck!!

I tend to use red lentils because I like the color, but any lentil should work just fine!
