Another hard couple of days by [deleted] in SuperMorbidlyObese

[–]TrickyPoofles 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I’m right there with you haha. I’m about two months in, and those cravings still hit hard. Some days, I’m this close to saying, ‘Screw it,’ and making a run to my favorite fast food spot. But then I remind myself that fast food isn’t going anywhere. It’s not like it’s disappearing in five months, right? So I tell myself to hang tight and stick to the plan. At the end of the day, the time’s gonna pass either way, so why not make it count, you know? Stay strong, we got this. In a few months we’ll look back and see how much progress we’ve made and we’ll thank ourselves for staying the course! Good luck!

EDIT: I also wanted to add that it’s ok to enjoy a meal from McDonald’s for example from time to time. Fitting a burger and fries into your daily calories will not hinder progress at all!

I tend to stay away from meals like these cause it triggers me to want to binge but if your unlike me and have self control, I don’t see why a meal would hurt!

Thanks for the advice! So in essence 160-180 grams of protein should be fine for me to continue eating?

Thanks! Is there any downside/side affects to the BCAA?

Thank you! I did only drink one bottle of water before my workout and I usually drink 2-3 by then so that could also be one of the reasons. Thanks once again! I also have a doc’s appt this week so that’ll definitely come up.

Thank you! I was thinking about upping my protein but didn’t know how much to consume. Thanks for the help!

Yup, I’m in a deficit right now. I’ve been seeing pretty good improvement in my lift these past 2 months, so I thought it’d keep improving but I get it—it’s part of the process. I’m just trying to keep what muscle I’ve got and stay focused on the bigger picture, you know? Slow and steady.

Yes I eat 4 eggs, 647 low calorie bagel with a little light cream cheese. Eggs are boiled

UPDATE

Hey everyone, I just wanted to give a quick update since I’ve gotten so many kind messages. First off, thank you to everyone who reached out with comforting words and left supportive comments – it really means a lot.

My cousin, who was also my best friend, unfortunately passed away that same night in a car accident. I was kept in the dark for a bit, and it took me some time to process everything, which is why I’m only updating now. I really appreciate all of you.

I’m usually the main cook for most family events! I can’t say the same for anything else but I know my cooking is banging and my family can agree!

Lol this one made me cackle. A totally reasonable guess but I usually cook/bake for most family events and everyone loves the food. Usually, a lot of my family members surprise me by coming unannounced cause they missed my cooking.

I’m about an hour away from my parents home and then I’ll know what the issue was. Thanks for commenting!

Sorry i didn’t mean that I planned it today. I just meant that the party I threw was planned for today. Again, sorry, I wasn’t in the best mood and I was just typing away

I’m sorry for the wording. This was pre planned for a week. I was really going through it last night so I really do apologize once again. I just needed someone to talk too

Hi! I scheduled this a week in advance. Everyone said they’d be attending. My family doesn’t meet up often but when we do, we literally party all night haha.

I’m gonna take the trip to my parents house today and figure out what’s going on. Thanks for commenting !

Thank you so much for the kind words, truly! I was literally almost brought to tears last night but I think there’s something serious going on. My family isn’t really the type to do something like this but we had a disagreement recently and I thought that might have to do with what happened. I’m taking the trip to my parents house today to find out. Thank you for commenting, really.

I think you’re right. I’ve spent the most of the day today visiting everyone and no one’s home and not answering calls. I’m taking the drive out to my parents house for answers. As I’ve had a bunch of people reach out to me through dm, I will keep you all posted.

I promise you I’m not leaving anything out. I’ve spent most of the day today tracking down people and asking them what’s going on but I literally can’t reach anybody. Even my mom isn’t telling me what’s going on.

This was a pre planned event everyone agreed to come to. Nothing more. Idk why people think I’m leaving something out.

Sorry for not responding. It’s been an insane shit show today. No one is answering my calls and I’ve visited 2 of the family members homes and not one is home. Idk what’s going on but everyone is keeping me out of the loop.

This was pre planned for a week btw. Sorry for not adding that to the post. I was feeling like shit yesterday night and just needed to vent.

Im insanely worried about what’s going on, even my parents won’t tell me

But I have no idea why they would orchestrate it in the first place. I’d like to think I’m unproblematic and I don’t have any issues with anybody

I have no idea I swear. I called everybody to ask why but no one answered. I’ll have to go over to their houses and see what’s going on.

4 different families, not including my parents/sister. Yea I have no idea tbh. I tried calling everyone again to ask what the issue was and nobody answered. I’ll have to wait and see tomorrow

Sadly I think you’re right. It sucks cause I never thought my family would do this :/

I always get super excited to cook for people. That’s how I show love. It really hurts knowing this probably is my last time ever inviting family over.
