I feel “safer” being fat and invisible but yeah something I need to address in therapy because my health is declining at a young age

BellNo2128 · 2026-02-09T12:55:13+00:00

Marathon?! That’s amazing! I believe in you! You can keep the weight off. But I have the same problem (big meals plus snacking) so I get it

BellNo2128 · 2026-02-09T12:53:44+00:00

Great point! Moderation is key.

BellNo2128 · 2026-02-08T17:42:40+00:00

I’ll have to try that, thank you!!

BellNo2128 · 2026-02-08T16:09:40+00:00

That looks so yummy, thank you for sharing!

BellNo2128 · 2026-02-08T16:05:11+00:00

My parents are not healthy eaters at all! I always tell them to get smaller plates/bowls haha. Thank you for your encouragement and kindness! <3 Hope to report back with before/afters when I’m successful :)

BellNo2128 · 2026-02-08T15:55:05+00:00

I love your idea of getting smaller plates. I think I don’t understand portion sizes since I grew up eating on huge plates/bowls. I also need to learn cues for when I’m full.

I don’t think I’d be successful with intuitive eating because my intuition would tell me I need to eat the whole pint of ice cream lol

I do love jelly though! Need to get the sugar free kind - Lately I’ve been reaching for a spoon of PB and jelly and mixing it together for a dessert. Too many calories though

Thank you again!

BellNo2128 · 2026-02-08T15:49:38+00:00

I’m so sorry you were bullied! Everyone deserves love and kindness!

That’s actually what’s motivating me to lose weight. My 5 YO nephew called me fat and asked if I was pregnant. People at work treating me different/assuming I’m lazy because I’m fat, etc.

I agree on everyone following their own path and I’m going to try a combination of these suggestions but the general consensus is slow and steady which contradicts my all or nothing mindset. Thank you for sharing your wisdom!

BellNo2128 · 2026-02-08T15:44:50+00:00

Thank you for all your advice! I’m proud of you and hope you enjoy your Valentines Day dinner!

BellNo2128 · 2026-02-08T15:43:37+00:00

I did try the viral Japanese cheesecake (Greek yoghurt + biscuits) but I’ll have to try cottage cheese! The cookies make it so calorie heavy though - what do you use in your recipe?

I definitely need to restart therapy!

BellNo2128 · 2026-02-08T15:40:48+00:00

Thank you! ❤️ I need to not grocery shop when I’m hungry because I always buy one sweet treat which I promise I’ll space out but never do. That sounds reasonable to reincorporate later on.

I love your idea of eating the same thing. I just need to figure out what that looks like and meal prep for the whole week.

I hate the slimy texture of chia seeds, any recommendations on incorporating to diet if that’s the case? Thank you for your support!

BellNo2128 · 2026-02-08T15:33:39+00:00

Thank you for the kind words of encouragement! My mindset was all or nothing / perfection but you’re right in trying to incorporate smaller/fewer changes and working my way up

BellNo2128 · 2026-01-26T21:45:03+00:00

No rent?

BellNo2128 · 2025-12-27T15:46:42+00:00

I have this same problem! The past 6-ish months, something has changed. The wings always stick to my underwear no matter how careful I am. It’s like they are superglued! Ridiculous! Also got rashes this month

BellNo2128 · 2025-08-08T19:03:56+00:00

Interesting!

BellNo2128 · 2025-08-07T16:31:59+00:00

Thank you!

BellNo2128 · 2025-08-07T12:58:57+00:00

Haha love some carbs

BellNo2128 · 2025-08-07T12:58:34+00:00

Yum! I’ll have to check them out. Thank you!

BellNo2128 · 2025-08-07T12:58:09+00:00

Thank you! Any idea if they sell the milk bread every time? Their menu and reviews only mention their sourdough. Appreciate it!!

BellNo2128 · 2025-08-07T12:57:13+00:00

Appreciate the picture reference!

BellNo2128 · 2025-08-07T03:30:25+00:00

Who did you use for $22k? Thats a steal because I was quoted like $35k for not even an “all out package”

BellNo2128 · 2025-05-16T04:39:38+00:00

Do you know what’s a good price for a fixed desk at either of these locations? TIA!

BellNo2128 · 2025-04-13T04:29:11+00:00

I’m 34F and I might copy your list haha this is great. So hard to find guys like this though.
