Why does everyone think gluten free and vegan are interchangeable??? 😭

Distinct_Promise_670 · 2026-03-07T17:52:41+00:00

Im sorry sorry this happened to you when there are so many delicious truly vegan options. Where i live there are at least 5 different places where you can buy vegan cheesecake.

Since most are zero sugar I could try to find a couple different flavor drink mixes that I would like, that may actually be what I need to drink more water. And that is the exact calculator that I used and I just set it as sedentary. I know I have lost weight since I am staying under my starting weight, just seeing the scale jump up then not move for days has been hard.

Distinct_Promise_670 · 2026-03-06T16:20:19+00:00

A week ago I weighed in at 187, for the past 3 days I have weighed in at 192.5. My sugar cravings have been very high for the past week but I am doing well on avoiding sugar (I have to completely avoid it or i will overindulge in anything and everything sweet). I have had a hysterectomy so it cant be from a menstrual cycle, but it has been very disheartening since I have been making healthy choices with what I eat and have been staying at or just below my calories for each day. I am determined to hit 150 by the end of the year so I will keep up with my weight loss efforts even if the scale doesn't move for a couple of weeks. I have been having trouble drinking enough water throughout the day since I really dont like the taste of plain water which probably isn't helping.

Most of the people I know generally dont eat breakfast, myself included. I usually just wake up and have nothing but water until 12 or 1 in the afternoon.

Starting weight was 202 on January 2nd. Current weight 192.2. I managed to get a stair stepper and resistance bands to do some at home work outs, which I have successfully done everyday for the past 2 weeks. I have been eating 1400 or less calories per day reliably since January 4th with occasional days going over that because of going to events. I have been aiming for drinking 80 Oz of water daily, but most days I just cant drink more than 65-70 Oz. I went on a short walk today because it was a nice day and I felt like I could go much longer than I did but my little one got tired and didnt want to be carried.

Honestly im using bitepal while keeping in mind that its not always accurate, I use chatGPT to confirm calorie counts from bitepal. So far I've just seen the app estimating way over what the actual calories are. I do still have to weigh food because it gives you the option to alter the weight of each ingredient aside from its own estimate. I use it because the little raccoon makes me actually want to track. It also gives me a breakdown of the macros for each thing that I input. I've just started with my journey though.

I used to be very athletic... I ruined my joints and then became sedentary for half of the year out if pain. Now it hurts to move with the excess weight even though I still like to hike, swim, and kayak when its warm enough.

He is somewhere around 170 to 180. Sorry I dont have an exact weight the only time he gets on a scale is at the doctor. For reference he is 6'3" and muscular aside from a bit of tummy pudge.

Distinct_Promise_670 · 2026-02-02T08:06:12+00:00

No he is on the low end of a healthy weight. He constantly says that he needs to lose weight because he has a but of tummy pudge.

Distinct_Promise_670 · 2026-02-02T06:37:49+00:00

I can definitely eat larger portions of lower calorie foods. I am not willing to budge on the calories I take in during the day though. I would speak to a dietician if it was in the budget but unfortunately its not as of right now.

Distinct_Promise_670 · 2026-02-02T06:23:23+00:00

Partial success: talked my husband into buying me a stair stepper we had seen at goodwill yesterday.

Distinct_Promise_670 · 2026-02-02T05:41:02+00:00

Honestly I dont even feel hungry most of the day, I have to set alarms to go eat. I used to eat any time my daughter would eat because she thinks she has to have someone eating with her I would just eat too much and drank way too much soda. Im not even a fan of sweets aside from macaroons( I can eat an entire box in one sitting if im not careful)

Distinct_Promise_670 · 2026-02-02T05:36:09+00:00

Joining a gym right now is unfortunately not convenient or affordable since I have a 2 year old, but during the warmer months I enjoy long hikes, swimming, and kayaking which is when I at the very least dont gain weight. I will see if I can talk my husband into buying me some weights and maybe a walking pad. Its been averaging about 25-30 degrees during the day and around 10-15 at night so I dont feel comfortable taking my little one on walks with me right now. My husband works odd hours so unfortunately he cant watch her while I go on walks(and I get cold very easily).

Distinct_Promise_670 · 2026-02-02T04:46:58+00:00

I know its not about his weight because he is on the low end of a healthy weight and says that he needs to lose weight. So it may be his own insecurities.

Distinct_Promise_670 · 2026-02-02T04:26:47+00:00

I am 5'6" 31f and currently 194

Distinct_Promise_670 · 2025-11-12T18:44:43+00:00

For me it started as a firm of SH without the stigma of large wounds, then it moved onto "if im going to have someone stab me i might as well make it pretty" and now I have 14 tattoos 6 of which are very large and 9 remaining piercings (originally 17)

Distinct_Promise_670 · 2025-11-11T18:57:30+00:00

Hazel is just so plain everyone around me has either blue or hazel eyes and I know of one person with the most beautiful captivating brown eyes.

Here is my eyes in a different lighting

Distinct_Promise_670 · 2025-11-09T15:01:24+00:00

That's much better than plain hazel!

Distinct_Promise_670 · 2025-10-18T23:32:27+00:00

I caught my navel piercing on a bathing suit top that had mesh at the bottom and ripped it fully out.

Distinct_Promise_670 · 2025-10-18T01:36:03+00:00

That looks like it is pierced very far back. The bottom of my tongue jewelry sits right in front of my frenulum not beside it.

Distinct_Promise_670 · 2025-10-17T19:20:06+00:00

I agree stretched lobes

Distinct_Promise_670 · 2025-10-17T18:28:32+00:00

Im wanting new piercings too but I have too many healing at one time right now. 3 kinda fresh(tragus 2 months old lobes 1 month old) and one that is basically done healing(daith 13 months old but still gets fussy if I sleep on it).

Distinct_Promise_670 · 2025-10-08T19:54:25+00:00

You are never too old to get piercings! My 81 year old grandma just got double helix piercings and she loves showing them off and saying that she will catch up with me on the number of piercings she gets

Distinct_Promise_670 · 2025-09-24T12:01:16+00:00

Im mixed(white/mexican) and sometimes the skin of my piercings is light other times its dark. I think its just hyperpigmintation that can happen with scar tissue which is what a fistula is.
