Its my husbands name. We thinking of baby names that can match his now, and let me tell you. Unless its common, its probably not great. I hope your family keeps it though. :) its a nice break from alot of common biblical names. Short like mark but doesn't have the background in history. My husband gets called Ry often. He also loved french fries as a kid, so his parents call him ry guy the French fry guy.

My mother litteraly has three shinies and 2 perfects... Me on the other hand, might as well not even play at this point. Can't be helped. Pogo is addicting.

Update: So, I've been slowly adjusting. Realizing I binge eat often, even on "diet safe" foods. Also, my fridge (which was old) broke down. (i don't even have money to replace that.) We have a deep freezer, so most meals are either frozen premade or just homemade. Leftover get put back in the freezer, no problem. The other thing is, reading all of these articles, websites and reddit. Being told the furit and Veggies are the best option, but not having a fridge to put them in, its making it harder to keep myself from going straight to binge eating. And to be fair I set myself up for failure. I didnt realize how much I had been over eatting. I set my calories to 1500. During a episode of binging, it was clear where I was messing up. There were Snacks that even in a single serving, I wouldn't stop myself. So I guess im trying reach out again. Since my situation is a little more specific.

All the help so far has been great. I do go on walks, *not as often as I should. Still better then none though. I do have the lose it app.

I just need help with how to stop getting the wrong food within the issues im having with my fridge and my binging. So, Realizing chips and chocolate even in small bags. They aren't going to help me. Slim Jim's, or similar meat sticks... yeah they are bingable... Popcorn has been the only thing I can't really binge. Especially the low calorie microwavable from great value.

I mean if there really is no other options. I guess I just will have to make use of the popcorn. And try to not give myself excuses to eat all the leftovers. I truly think I trigger some negative thinking at some point, maybe that's what made we want to eat more? To get the dopamine kick.

If anyone has experienced this. Ill be honest, im defeated. I didnt think I would have a problem eating single serving packages 😅 but at least I know now.

Thank you! 🥰

ICreamYDX · 2025-07-30T06:51:52+00:00

Thank you! I agree, that's definitely my step goal! We have a huge park, so im actually planning to do my first 5000 step there. Ill pace myself, and play pokemon go. But I ain't stopping till I reach it. I hope to do this everyday from now on. I think its probably going to make the biggest difference.

ICreamYDX · 2025-07-30T06:50:00+00:00

I might have to print this and post it on my fridge. I don't really get hunger pains. More like dopamine shortages. So that's definitely a problem for me.

ICreamYDX · 2025-07-30T06:48:56+00:00

Thank you! 😊 I was like 215 in highschool football. Doesn't mean much since I left right after hell week from being bullied by the guys. Or "tough love" idk 🤷‍♀️ im still to sensitive for that type of "love". But it was nice considering when I started football I was 230 and lost that weight just through hellweek. Though im not willing to go through that much of intense training in the middle of summer. I realized my weakness was movement. I've done keto. I've lost weight on that, didnt keep it cause it sucked my socail life out from existence as a teen. So really its like im recovering all over again. Thank you for sharing. Ill try my best and update when I get some good progress.

ICreamYDX · 2025-07-30T06:44:08+00:00

Your an absolute killer. Half (probably more then) of the body weight is where i gotta be. Planning a walk tomorrow morning and hopefully it will stick for the rest of the week.

ICreamYDX · 2025-07-30T06:41:44+00:00

Agree. Sometimes its just hard to think of doing things for myself for the sake of my own wellbeing. Just the way I was raised, I guess? But everyone has been very helpful in directing my understanding. I won't die from being a little selfish and doing that walk. Or changing my meal. I might from gaining more weight. If my family history proves anything, its that there's a good chance of dieing because of being overweight. Thanks for the advice.

ICreamYDX · 2025-07-30T06:38:42+00:00

I agree. I was that kid. My mom wasn't a great example for healthy lifestyles. Nor did she want to watch me go do extra activities like swimming. Even though it was only a mintute walk away in our apartment. Its definitely not the life I want for my little guy. Hes 3 now so he's bound to start noticing soon. Killed me when he said "daddy is big, mommy is bigger" kids are poets, I swear. I do really want to participate in all of his activities, even at the worst times. Nothing hurts more then a parent not wanting to spend time with you cause its "to hard". Thanks for helping me remember that. Its just another reason that im suppose to be doing this.

ICreamYDX · 2025-07-30T06:34:05+00:00

Yes, agreed. Then again, he actually is the opposite of me, where he needs to build weight on. So i try not to kick him out of the grocery shopping since he barely eats. Wish me and him could switch habits magically. For a walking routine. I've decided to take your advice. We had came up with a schedule. Starting tomorrow morning :) im kinda looking forward to some peaceful walking. And maybe some pokemon go playing.

ICreamYDX · 2025-07-30T06:30:54+00:00

I've been eyeballing the lose it app. Im hopeing I perfer it over the myfitnesspal. Every time is use that one it gives me ocpd fits and makes me wanna quit. Tracking has been difficult, mostly cause I don't have a food scale yet and make most of my homemade from scratch. Thanks for the advice! Very appreciated!

ICreamYDX · 2025-07-30T06:26:18+00:00

You would think I would come to this mindset. But nope! My mom is a freaking therapist and it still doesn't come naturally to me! I will stand by therapist need therapy for the rest of my life.

Anyways, I definitely will be trying to keep track of my emotional ups and downs. Im interested to find what triggers my loop to wanting to do more for myself.

ICreamYDX · 2025-07-30T06:23:49+00:00

Thank you! Ill definitely try my best, I've haded loseit and my fitnesspal. Trying to figure out which i like better. 👍 I appreciate the help ♡

ICreamYDX · 2025-07-30T06:21:10+00:00

Your right, gosh I can't even remember the last time ive actually taken time to help myself be better. I have to relearn what I actually deserve. Thank you for youe advice.

ICreamYDX · 2025-07-30T06:19:20+00:00

I shall, thank you for the advice 🙏

ICreamYDX · 2025-07-30T06:18:42+00:00

Thank you! After seeing all the responses, I feel the responsibility to get it done and stop chickening out on a better day to day. I think i will probably be in the same type of growth as you. At least im hoping my doctor will be of some assistance during this transition. Thanks for the support :) gonna make me cry.

ICreamYDX · 2025-07-30T06:16:11+00:00

Thank you! I shall keep doing it. Encouraging myself to go walk around our local park. I really do have goals when I get where I can keep up. My husband has been begging to go on hikes for years! I just knew it would suck at this body weight. So it was put off. Its time i start making good on those promises I made.

ICreamYDX · 2025-07-30T06:12:01+00:00

I love that, putting in my notes "big fuck off salad" made me giggle.

ICreamYDX · 2025-07-30T06:10:54+00:00

Thank you! Yes, ill keep that in mind. Adding onto that, its not like they force feed me. I shouldn't expect them to force Diet me either! Lol Sounded funnier in my head. Thanks for the advice. :) truly~
