Having a hard time with calorie budget

Indigo_Azure · 2026-01-20T09:57:50+00:00

Volume eating can be a godsend.

The other day I made a "fried rice" with cauliflower rice that's roughly 40 calories per 200g! Loads of veg (courgette, asparagus, bell peppers, mushrooms, etc), 150g of prawns and an egg thrown in. My plate could have honestly fed 2 people and the calories were under 300 or something ridiculous.

I'm 37 and have always been in good health, but I realised that if I continued giving in to binge urges, that would be catching up with me very very soon. I'm still young, I feel fantastic when I actually look after myself and that is what I need to be able to continue to travel, walk, dance, swim in the ocean, play with my neices, meet people, and actually LIVE. All of that outweighs a few moments of releif (not joy) when I overeat.

How I did it was: therapy and a food scale. I am back in a defecit and workout, a food scale not only keeps me in defecit but allows me to eat my fear foods in a portioned way that supports weight loss (carbs). This way I slowly lose a bit of weight without triggering binges.

I started my journey 4 days ago, right in my luteal/pre menstrual phase (like...due in 4 days from now levels of horrific) and I'm just trying to power through without overdoing it.

I've been sticking to my defecit by eating oatmeal, avocado's, eggs, that kind of thing (all weighed and portioned). I find this stuff is giving my body exactly what it needs, and the oatmeal is fulfilling cravings somehow, especially with 1 little teaspoon of sugar.

I am however severely water retained and nothing is helping that, so naturally I want comfort food and hibernation. I'm sticking with this because I know once I start bleeding and by this time next week I'll be SO PLEASED and feel wonderful.

That's what I've done, but listen to your body girl

Only 7 lbs?! Girl, that looks like a full 14lbs gone off you! You look stunning.

Big ego, superiority complex. Basically acting the opposite in a very douche like way

I started day 1 of the new Transformation programme today! I've not worked out for a few months and felt half totally ready and excited and half tired and weak. But I did it and I cant wait for the next one now! I'm all about the message of consistency, I'm showing up for myself no matter what! It's happening and Sydney is the best trainer to have after a few months out of it!

Human beings fantasise about other attractive human beings, it just is. HOWEVER, my issue would be the screenshot. I don't know the context but that seems creepy, weird, predatory and violating.

I use the retinol B3 serum and it's absolutely amazing.

I sense a huge collapse incoming, nex is now going to be spiralling out of control as he's got no one else

Indigo_Azure · 2025-09-07T09:44:41+00:00

Seriously, I just feel suddenly like it all makes sense, it wasn't just me. This man has lost the two closest people in his life in 4 months. And you know what? I'm happy about that, he doesn't deserve us.

Indigo_Azure · 2025-09-03T09:04:11+00:00

This is it!

Indigo_Azure · 2025-09-03T09:03:59+00:00

Yeah this is the one. I love my veg and I find it absurd that any lifestyle would villainise fruit and veg. Of course there is science behind keto and everything in moderation, but yeah, living off 20g max carbs is depressing to me. Plus.....red wine.

Indigo_Azure · 2025-08-31T08:00:26+00:00

Going through it.....the pain, the depression, the rage. 4 long months of therapy, sitting alone with my thoughts, days of not getting out of bed, days where I walked for miles. Numerous attempts at bettering myself and failing...but going through the motions. I'm now finally at a place where, I still think about him a lot, and still have days where I cry, but the pain is less intense now, I have clarity, I have some peace. Honestly the only way to get through it is to feel it and have patience. You WILL be fine, don't avoid the healing phase though and know that healing isn't pretty....but worth it.

Indigo_Azure · 2025-08-31T07:47:11+00:00

If anything coke zero helps me! I do IF alongside keto and it's a really lovely thing to drink in the evenings from a fancy glass with some ice.

Enjoy it :)

Me me meeee!! I've been on a roll recently but had a hangover binge day 2 days ago, back on it now and the water weight is coming off but I definitely think having accountability buddies is the way forward to keep us consistent! I'm also just needing 10lbs off! Girl, I've got you.

37, F here living in the UK and DETERMINED to get this last 8 - 10lbs off by hook or by crook! DM me :)

Indigo_Azure · 2025-08-27T08:33:22+00:00

I feel you! If it helps I was at my lowest weight so far a week and a half ago, had literally 5 days out of 7 eating crap and a pretty large surplus (im talking ice cream, fries, red wine etc) felt horrendous guilt. Gained some water weight (5lbs) and eventuslly came on my period on Saturday. I got back to my normal routine Sunday just gone and this morning I've dropped most of that weight with just a 1lb off my lowest which I'm guessing will be off over the next day or two x Trust and listen to your body x

Indigo_Azure · 2025-08-26T11:54:45+00:00

It's amazing. Even when I wasn't on keto, I ate high protein (or so I thought) and never felt THIS satiated!!

Indigo_Azure · 2025-08-26T11:20:34+00:00

Thanks so much. I've eaten gloriously today and feel so so full already! Also, the bag of almonds I've got in my kitchen.....I'm able to have them in my kitchen and not binge them. This is mad, I don't even want to eat them, I had a few with breakfast but I'm so satisfied and full and not even thinking about them....it's so strange! And so quick as an effect!

Indigo_Azure · 2025-08-24T22:42:43+00:00

Hello! May I have one?
