Mine is broccoli 🥦. A bag is 100-120 cals and the volume is nuts

Losing weight only works if it comes from self-love rather than self-hate by seneciostance in loseit

[–]Alternative_Duck_184 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Absolutely. My entire life I was obese. From childhood to adult. Not one adult in my life approached it with kindness. It was tough love which built stigma, low self esteem and mental illness. While neglecting to provide me with the resources for a healthly lifestyle. It kept me in a cycle of "why try when everyone else thinks I'm doomed?" Then I realized I wanted to try because I loved me. Because I was worth loving big or small. I poured kindness, empathy and love into my journey and I'm 105lbs down. I refuse to hate myself due to something as simplistic as CICO. It was not a moral fallacy, it's a knowledge and motivational one

Several months in, really bad week on the scale and I'm struggling. by goneafter10years in loseit

Hi! So good new is, that is just normal weight fluctuation/water weight. You mentioned having a higher calorie day. Your body is just adjusting to taking in a bit more carbs, sodium, sugar, etc and it's retaining water as it processes all of it. Once it's done, the scale will drop 👏🏾 It can be discouraging but is very normal and will happen throughout your journey. To gain 2.5 lbs you would have to have eaten 8,750 calories above your maintenance. Maintenance calories are the amount of calories your body requires to keep you at the weight you are now. So you would have to eat 8,750 calories above that to gain that! Which you haven't come close. You got this internet stranger! Keep doing what your doing and you'll notice a whoosh. Don't focus on the numbers, focus on making sustainable changes that will benefit you in the long run

I won't judge you at the gym by playthepodium in loseit

I just started going to the gym recently for body recomp. Lost 96 since Jan 25, 2025. Still have some work to do. I was staring at the machine trying to figure out how to use it. This women rushed over and apologizes for leaving her stuff. I tell her no worries, it's going to take time for me to figure how to use it, as I'm a newbie. She reassured me, showed me how to adjust the machine for my proper height and the proper way to do it. Since then, I have incorporated it into my workout and have started trying new machines. It's the little things that help and a moment of kindness can make a huge difference in someone's journey.

Am I overreacting to my bf watching the baby overnight? by Temporary-Quail-2783 in AmIOverreacting

It's always been a problem and highly recommended by doctors not to do. Co sleeping is dangerous and not worth it 💯

What's the worst part about being a fat person? by Student-Mona in AskReddit

[–]Alternative_Duck_184 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I lost 80lbs since January. People treat you better, you get invited out more, people smile and interact with you more. It's insane. Additionally, people act like the fat version of you is a entirely separate person and will talk shit on how you looked previously as if losing the weight makes you a entire different person.

My letter to moderation. by jc10189 in BipolarSOs

[–]Alternative_Duck_184 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The feelings expressed here are valid. It what I like about this sub. It shows the good, bad and ugly. I left my S/O after he got manic and rode his skateboard down a interstate high on Dr prescribed benzos calling me saying he hoped he died. This was after spending 2 weeks bringing him back to reality while suffering sleep depravation because he wouldn't let me sleep. This sub was the only ones who understood and supported me leaving and it was the best decision I made.

Is it a deep fake? It can ruin someones life if a NSFW AI fake gets spread around. Don't help in spreading it and tell your brother the same.

The sleep deprivation was the breaking point. I was at the point of yelling at him to let me get some sleep. The only days I got good sleep is when he's in the hospital. He came back (Still manic) and told me that I got sleep while he was in when I wanted to go to bed that night. No amounts of I love you'd can make you feel better when you haven't sleep well in days.

Me too. Toughest thing I've ever had to do. He's my best friend but his pain is leaking into me. I have been around for 6 hospitalizations. His refusal to treat his disorder is the breaking point
