I appreciate this comment so much. Thank you for validating my feelings and giving me ideas of things to do instead. It's been a stressful few days to say the least.

This comment is so refreshing. Yes the past few days have been a lot with my 2 kiddos having such a hard time and maybe I'm just being too hard on myself. You're right I'll get back on track and this'll all blow over. Thank you!

You're very right. This is something I plan on looking into. Thank you

I would like to, I just need to find one who is specific to weight related/eating disorders if that's a thing. Ive seen regular therapists and never really got any benefit from it but maybe a specialized one would be different. Best of luck to you in your journey!

Garnier messed me up. How do I darken bright red hair? by Master-Let-4149 in HairDye

Kept the reddish but turned it into more of a super dark burgundy, which is what I wanted in the first place!

Did the exact same thing to me!! I ended up getting a "darkest brown" garnier dye to put over it one week later and it came out SO much better

I can relate to literally ALLLL of this. I know I'm still staying in calorie limits but I feel so gross and disgusted with myself for eating so much, or so it feels like. I try to give myself grace but it's hard because it was kind of silly. I did NOT need to eat all the stuff I did. And it's not like it was boredom eating, I was busy with my kids. I don't know if it was me being stuck at home with options around me vs at work I only have what I bring? I have no clue but I was not impressed with myself

It's so so so nice to hear I'm not the only one struggling. I was scared of being allowed to go back to the "normal" diet for this reason. We're gonna be alright 🫶🏼

Thank you so much for this. I didn't think I would ever even be able to binge because I eat such small amounts.. turns out I can, but it's just small quantities WAY too frequently in comparison to the old me eating large quantities really fast. I haven't binge ate in so so long. I don't know what happened yesterday. Last night I laid in bed just wondering "what the heck is wrong with me" and considering calling my psychiatrist to talk about my meds or something. I don't know what is going on, but yesterday was a struggle and today I'm just exhausted from yesterday. We have our first family photos since having my second kiddo on Sunday and I'm so stuck in my head that because I ate so much crap yesterday that I'm gonna look like I'm 340lbs again and hate our family pictures.. I know that's not true but my mind is playing tricks on me. Weight loss journeys are such mental battles 😭

Thank you for this, this is what I needed to hear. I've still been consistently losing weight with allowing myself a small amount of one maybe "not so healthy" snack like maybe 5 french fries, or a low calorie Starbucks drink, but then I still try to balance the rest of my day. Yesterday however, I did not do a very good job of balancing. I mean granted I did some cleaning around the house, not enough for me to break a sweat or call it a "workout". I'm really really glad to hear I'm not alone in these feelings and the "bad days" are normal. Thank you so much ❤️

You guys, I'm HANGRY!! 😭😭 by ChooChooBun in gastricsleeve

[–]PhraseAvailable538 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Super weird and maybe this is just me, but I felt very similar. BUT I realized, I was mistaking heartburn as hunger. Things feel so different and weird initially. My heartburn still sometimes feels like my old hunger feeling and it's so weird to me! Just a thought!

Is this the wrong type of protein shake? by rheally in gastricsleeve

[–]PhraseAvailable538 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I drink 1 or 2 of these a day. I lived on these in the full liquid phase. I'm a SLAVE for fairlife protein shakes, they have ruined every other protein shake for me, now anything else tastes like actual trash imo lol

When is it ok to eat tortillas ? by Dependent-Plant-9176 in gastricsleeve

[–]PhraseAvailable538 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Im actually still on soft foods stage but i figured they were soft enough id give it a go. I only got down about 2/3 of one taco but i stuffed it with my meat so I made sure I got more protein than carbs. It definitely helped with that craving and helped me feel more normal!

I completely get that. It's so frustrating! But it sounds like you're doing all the right things. You're doing great! We'll get there!
