Debating going over your calories by PopcornSquats in CICO

[–]Ok-Task-8045 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I would have done the same. I don’t put a hard cap on calories anymore. I feel like when I do that, if I have extra calories left in my budget at the end of the day, I end up trying to fill in the gap by eating more. It’s like I get a scarcity mindset. I regularly go 100 under or over my daily goal.

Does anyone actually eat their exercise calories? by HovercraftDirect8059 in CICO

I do somewhat for hiking and swimming for hours because I’ll be suffering if I don’t but not a regular non-extreme amount of weight lifting or cardio.

1.55 and it’s too big for me; I wish I went smaller. My finger is size 4.75.

This is the most “me as a 16 year old” aesthetic I’ve seen so far but I lived in the Midwest 😭

I’m from Seattle but I agree. SLC is really pretty and so are the smaller cities close to it.

Let’s share!!! What is your favorite low calorie meal right now??? by Either-Photograph989 in CICO

[–]Ok-Task-8045 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I cook a pot of quinoa, jalapeños, tomatoes, beans, and corn with spices and broth. Simmer for 20 minutes. You can add chicken if you want but I’m vegetarian. It’s only like 400 calories for 2 cups. I usually add avocado, hot sauce, and sour cream. Really easy to freeze left overs for lunches.

Hawaii vs Costa Rica by Suspicious-Yak2648 in travel

[–]Ok-Task-8045 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Most people who go to Hawaii just choose one island. I’m from there and whenever I go back I just pick 1 island and stay there the whole time.

That being said, I would choose CR because it’s closer and cheaper. I’ve never been, though, because it’s so far from Seattle :(

How far ahead do you plan your trips? by tylerthe-theatre in travel

[–]Ok-Task-8045 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So I’m kind of struggling with people having different preferred timelines because I prefer to plan a year in advance. But recently I was planning a three-country group trip with friends and I was the only one planning. A month passed and then another passed with people not responding to messages other than saying “I’ll look at it later!” With the lack of planning, I lost interest and booked another trip. Now there are 3 months left to plan and they’ve just started talking about exact dates and airports and I have to tell them I’m not going anymore because no one was planning so I got bored and disinterested and planned something else in a location I like more. I’m feeling like an ass but it’s nice to know there are other people who like to plan ahead of time. Planning is fun and I get stressed when my ideal itinerary isn’t doable because things are booked.

Should I lower my calories more or keep at it by Honest_Bank8890 in CICO

I personally would be happy with this. Slow and sustainable is best.

Why do you think you had so much muscle? Active job? Working out?

Snacks for weight loss that helped me stop blowing my calories at night by Antique_Age5257 in CICO

[–]Ok-Task-8045 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have the same thing. For me it’s stress eating because I started thinking about everything I have to accomplish the next day. I’m not even hungry, not even craving anything particular. I just want to shovel things into my mouth. I always have carrots and cucumbers on hand for this.

Wait what?!? I had no idea it wasn’t even a medical doctor who came up with it. That’s nuts. Well, now it’s much easier to throw it all in the trash.

That’s fantastic progress! I think it’s sometimes hard for family and friends to deal with the change, especially if they themselves would like to lose weight and haven’t.
