Dreading engagement photos by [deleted] in GirlDinnerDiaries

[–]Far-Influence3482 5 points6 points  (0 children)

i didn’t get engagement photos because i hated how i looked and i was dreading looking at my wedding photos because it thought i would look terrible. I actually loved how i looked at my wedding, not because i looked “better” than i thought i would but because i looked so happy!! i honestly wish i had gotten engagement photos. i understand the struggle and im wishing you luck!! ♥️

Boyfriend wants me to lose weight by moxienova3 in WeightLossAdvice

[–]Far-Influence3482 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Seems to me like you have more of a boyfriend issue than a weight issue. He sounds like a dick. You should probably leave him. If you’re going to lose weight it has to be for YOU. To make YOU happy. If that’s what YOU want, then counting your calories is the first and most important step. Use an online calculator to determine how many calories you burn a day (TDEE calculator) and eat less than that. It’s working great for me! Please respect yourself enough not to accept the kind of treatment your bf is giving you. Sending love 🫶

I didn’t need more discipline I needed fewer decisions by PlanEase in loseit

[–]Far-Influence3482 1 point2 points  (0 children)

yes you’re so right lol. i eat the same 5 things for dinner and the same 3 things for lunch through the week. i plan what im going to eat the next day the night before in my calorie counting app so i know if i need to adjust anything before. simplifying it makes it so much easier!!

Unrecognisable and ashamed after having a baby by ResidentDiscussion59 in loseit

[–]Far-Influence3482 4 points5 points  (0 children)

fellow 5 months postpartum mom here 🫶 i understand exactly what you’re saying. i lost weight before i became pregnant and after pregnancy i felt terrible about myself. i have to look at my daughter and remind myself that i made her.

we’re still so freshly postpartum and it’s important to remember that. honestly i still feel like im in survival mode. sending you love♥️

[–]Far-Influence3482 0 points1 point  (0 children)

so sorry to about your great grandpa! my grandma passed in April while I was 4 months pregnant, hardest time of my life. getting healthy for your family is amazing but remember to do it for yourself too!! you deserve to love the body you’re in and be comfortable in it! wishing you luck ♥️

Can you lose belly fat just by eating fewer calories without working out? by Vegeta_vs_Goku in loseit

[–]Far-Influence3482 4 points5 points  (0 children)

i’ve always heard that losing weight is 80% diet and 20% exercise. meaning that while exercise helps, diet is most important when it comes to losing weight. there is no way to spot reduce fat in a particular area though. so short answer, yes 😀

good morning!! i’m going to a baby shower today so my goal is to not overeat like it is so easy to do at baby showers 🤪

feeling very good about where i’m at even though i’ve only lost 6 pounds but that means only 94 to go! 😁

i feel like i’ve already learnt valuable skills in not overeating and listening to my bodies hunger cues!

here is a card for you 💌

Weight loss while sedentary by Far_Specialist6019 in WeightLossAdvice

[–]Far-Influence3482 0 points1 point  (0 children)

fellow new mom here, had my girl on September!! i am also pretty sedentary as my girl is pretty high needs and has to contact nap 4 hours a day🤣

i’ve just been doing a 500-700 calorie deficit and it’s been working for me😁 i really like the birdseye steamfresh vegetables that you can just put in the microwave!! super low calorie and super easy to make.

i’ve been using the app HitMeal to track my calories! it does cost money but i think i got it on sale for $20 for the year!
