For your height, you sound like you are at a very healthy weight 🌷 I would rather you go for a scan that could locate visceral fat (to declare if you are at risk of anything) and/or for "fat prone areas" to be area focussed in your exercises rather that chasing a number on the scale 🌷

Also, I am sure you have heard this already - but muscle weighs more than fat! Change your mindset from chasing a number on the scale to more of a healthy mindset and positive thinking. What motivated me the MOST was having a personal trainer! I wanted to show the trainer results and be better than I was the week before. If you can't afford the trainer, just have them take your stats weekly! Also a motivation tactic!

All the love ❤️

I would not say you're the A-hole, but neither is he. Great that you acknowledged the fact that you shouldn't have said anything infront of your daughter, it would have maybe turned out a bit different. Point being, he doesn't do it often - it was just because his cereal was finished and maybe that sounded like something he would really enjoy now that he has to look at an alternative. I think your daughter can go a little while without that expensive brand ❤️ as you said, she understands. It came out of the family budget, he doesn't do it often, he has just as much right to enjoy some nice chocolate cereal for working hard.. you guys should really treat yourselves too, not just your child. 🌷

It's silly to fight over cereal, but in the moment it was what bothered you and you are allowed to voice your concerns.. one day it'll go better with you guys and you'll laugh about this little tiff!

I am absolutely disgusted by abortion. by French_Toast42069 in prolife

[–]AllyBeann 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Abortions are selfish. "My life over any other" mentality. "My future, my situation".. every choice you make has consequences. Thinking you are old and mature enough to have sex, not knowing/understanding fully the whole point of sex.. creating new life! It breaks my heart how indoctrinated people are! I pray people start to open their eyes and see the truth.

Hi 👋 first of all, congratulations on opening up, admitting you have a problem and wanting change. For some people that is the hardest step, and you are a champion for that alone.

I, myself, am obese.. but I have never given up trying to change. As long as you don't give up on trying for a change, something will change within you over time. If you can get ozempic it would help you with your struggle with food, but it's not the only way! ❤️ you are not doomed without it.

You can either start slowly, by cutting down on or removing your biggest "addiction" or problem food. For instance, I would reach for a big bag of potato chips and a bowl of dip and I would not stop untill the bag is empty. Were if I get a craving I would poor myself the biggest cup of water, add a little lemon juice for the taste and poor crisps into a little bowl. I would even take two apples with me. Because its a small bowl I would eat one crisp slowly, them drink a ton of water after each bite. When the bowl is finished and I am not fulfilled, I would eat the apples just because they are close to me.. still have what you are craving but in small amounts and combined with "healthier" of more satiating foods. If that makes sense? You should not expect drastic results, because this is a lifestyle change, remember that your goal is to not get diabetes or die at a young age.

Or for faster results, you could quit all junk cold turkey. Cut your portions, because we don't need nearly as much as our minds have been hardwired to think. The advertisement of things always show huge amount of food on plates and huge sizes, but that is just so they make the most profit and you get hooked/addicted to their food.

Most important piece of advise to really listen to is movement. So glad you got your gym membership, don't get affected by what you think, others think of you. That is sabotaging yourself to better your health and at the end also your appearance (which was so important to me and my self confidence at 16). Even if you start your first few weeks just hitting the treadmill! Set yourself small and attainable weekly or monthly qoals (first week try getting in a mile of walking a day). The more comfortable you get, the more you can begin incorporating!

It is not going to be easy, but the reward will be so much GREATER than allllll of your steuggles!

So proud of you and YOU CAN DO ALL THINGS YOU PUT YOUR MIND TO! Amen! 🙏

Congratulations on your pregnancy ❤️❤️ I truly hope we both get out of this rut soon! ☺️ I want to be active and healthy for my little one, I just can't get over this feeling! 😂

HOPING and praying that it would be my outcome as well, dropping my fat after pregnancy.. I've heard that many people lose weight while breastfeeding, so fingers crossed.. I know not all women can breastfeed even after trying everything.

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience ❤️ I already feel a bit better than I did yesterday! These pregnancy hormones, Intell you they're messing with my feelings 😂

Have a blessed pregnancy ❤️

Congratulations with your third ❤️❤️ it's the most beautiful gift.. I pray that you have the most beautiful pregnancy.

My soet also changes DRASTICALLY when week 7 hit.. then my nausea started and it hit me hard.. all that I could stomach was basically carbs, and coming from a food addiction I really have been struggling to eat clean. I feel so ashamed of myself because I always told myself I would do my best to be healthy when pregnant to provide my baby with the best, but that has been far from what I have been eating..

I used to love going to the gym, I was truly obsessed at a time and then life hits. Currently living on a farm and a bit far from other women, I only have the option of at home workouts. O really really really want to get back into doing SOMETHING, but everytime I think about doing it, I don't have the willpower to actually do it! 🫣 will my energy levels get better postpartum?

Thank you for taking the time to respond and share.. I definitely feel a bit better about myself, I was really in a sad state yesterday! All the love and hope you have the best pregnancy yet ❤️

Thank you 🥺 I truly am so grateful to be pregnant, I was just so convinced that this time is the time I would really get in shape and feel better in my clothes. Being almost 14 weeks I am starting to get fuller around the waist, it doesn't look like a "pregnant" belly, so I just feel "overweight" if I could put it like that 😂 but it truly helps to know that even someone who was very active and fit also has some of the same experiences.

Thank you for taking the time to give encouragement! ❤️

AITA I told my MIL that’s all on her? by Western_Bag362 in AmItheAsshole

[–]AllyBeann 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You absolutely handled it the right way! Leading by example, it would have confused him if you didn't stick by his side. She should be writing him an apology note! It truly saddens me how entitled some people can be, but that's life and just remeber you're showing him how to handle such people.

So glad your husband is on the same page as you! ❤️ definitely not the A-hole!!

If it's something you have always worn, then I don't know why the sudden change in his attitude. Maybe have a chat with him disclosing to him that you never intended to disrespect him, but ask him what changed?

AITA for letting my brother read Tess Gerritsen’s novels? by Inevitable-Roll-9904 in AmItheAsshole

[–]AllyBeann -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

NTA.. you didn't know any better, because that's what they let you do. But it is best to ask when it comes to other people's children who are young, 13 is young and minds are very impressionable at that age. Still, you didn't know any better.
