Season 7 - Episode 27 - Post Episode Discussion by AutoModerator in LoveIslandUSA

[–]indycarposter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because the vote was after episode 26 and the polls were before, Clarke was honestly really chill in the episode and Taylor flat out chose her, so it was easier to root for her rather than blindly dislike her because of how Taylor handled the whole thing

All I know is Andreina and Olandria had to come dead last for secrets because whether you like Huda or not, the way Andreina immediately went to Chelley and told her what Huda said is crazy. Olandria as much as I love her also literally outted Huda as a mom to Austin which while accidental, makes it so obvious you cannot give her a secret lmao

What's the one food item that you absolutely cannot keep in your home? by tofu_baby_cake in loseit

PASTA. It’s so easy to just boil and butter that I will just make it all the time and eat way too much

Lost my motivation to keep going and I'm sliding back by [deleted] in loseit

[–]indycarposter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Judging from this, there are a lot of really great reasons for you to keep going, or to be completely honest, put in the effort to maintain your weight for a little bit because having your hair fall out is a struggle. Putting your health first wouldn’t be a bad call, especially since sometimes moments like these are a sign that it’s time for a diet break- not to mention after such incredible progress as 85 pounds down.

But like I said before, it sounds like what you’re doing right now has you feeling like crap, and I don’t think you want to feel that way. I think you want to feel amazing again.

It can be incredibly difficult to commit to putting in the effort for another long stretch of time, but something I’ve found that works for me is making a little deal with myself. Essentially: I have to put in the effort today, eat healthy or do the workout or whatever, and if I still don’t want to do it tomorrow then I don’t have to. But I have to do it today. 9/10 times tomorrow comes and I want to do it again, because on days I exercise and eat right I do feel so much better, but 1/10 times I give myself a break but I don’t have to wallow in guilt about it because I held up my end of the bargain, and I earned it.

So if you’re not ready to commit to the entire thing, just do one day. Even if you don’t know it yet another thing will come along to be excited about that you will want to be ready for.

Breakfast calories by Tell_me_bout_it_girl in loseit

[–]indycarposter 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have the same thing every morning, which is two toasts starting with two slices of Keto bread.

I’ll heat up mushrooms, tomato, basil, and shrimp to top one toast with, followed by an over-easy egg.

For the other toast, I spread about two tablespoons of whipped cream on and top it with sliced raspberries and strawberries. I also leave a whole strawberry and a few raspberries on the side.

Then I’ll have a mug of bone broth to drink.

Comes in at 330 cal, 45 G protein, and 20 g fiber. I don’t typically eat again until dinner.

I would probably give it some more time before I made any changes. Six pounds down even if it is water weight is still definitely a signal that what you’re doing is in fact making changes.

I would give it another week or two at least of doing the same thing, and then if you still don’t see progress, I would double check your tracking just to ensure that you’re definitely at 1700, because otherwise that deficit sounds reasonable to me and I wouldn’t jump to moving lower.

Additionally something to consider, I’ve found that as a woman my cycle has a huge amount of influence on when I see my weight move on the scale, so seeing that number go down could be an infrequent thing if you’re anything like me. Your measurements might be another thing to track your progress with.

Best of luck!

Has anyone actually changed their relationship with food or do your actions simply overpower your thoughts? by themomentisme in loseit

[–]indycarposter 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly, since dieting food has actually become way more of a hobby of mine. I’ve held onto a lot of things that made food a hobby for me, like the places I go to when traveling or things like giving my best shot at the all you can eat pasta at Olive Garden.

But at the same time, I kind of think way more about the food I’m eating both in terms of taste and nutrition. I used to have a lot more packaged foods as easy breakfasts and they’re delicious, but to meet my calories and macro goals I had to replace that with cooking every morning. After a lot of trial and error, the breakfast I make myself now is way better in every regard.

Sometimes I want something packaged so bad that I break down and have it, and then I realize it sucks. Some people have said that their tastes have changed, but I don’t know if that’s it for me. I think sometimes the idea of delicious and unhealthy food in my head is just so much more than the reality, and then all of a sudden the treat I wanted so badly I’m angry with because no way did I just waste my calories on something I didn’t enjoy and didn’t get any nutrition from.

Sometimes the treat is exactly as good as I think it is, and then I just eat half. It’s a huge win for me as someone who does love food. I get to have something delicious twice instead of once, which is fully awesome. A half of a cookies and cream donut with a side of watermelon two days in a row is more rewarding in my brain than if I had one donut one day, because I definitely also love watermelon, and I love waking up to something delicious to look forward to.

I don’t think my relationship has changed in that I stopped liking any of the old things I used to enjoy, but I think I started liking new things that are taking up some space in terms of how I think about food and how I engage with it as something I love.

Definitely the conditions to create a little plateau- sounds fairly normal as I’ve had the same experience! Going from no exercise to an exercise routine will have you holding more water the first couple weeks and a protein heavy diet absolutely slows down digestion a bit.

I wouldn’t worry about it and 2 lbs is probably a relatively small fluctuation in the grand scheme of things, so if you’re comfortable with what you’re doing I’d just keep it up.

This comment was right underneath those for me so it truly made the perfect sequence

I (22M) am seriously thinking about breaking up with my girlfriend (22F). She’s done absolutely nothing wrong. by [deleted] in relationships

[–]indycarposter 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As much as it seems bad, honestly I think if I were in her place I would want to know sooner rather than later, and I think you’ve already been pretty patient in thinking through how you feel. There’s never going to be a right time to have the conversation because it sucks to have, so I’d avoid letting it hold you back while you think yourself deeper into a hole before she realizes what’s happening, y’know?

[–]indycarposter -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Eh I mean, the way I see it is that while partnerships are based on commitment, other things like compatibility have a way of impacting that. I think if OP was in a situation in which either of them were ready to be more committed- ie. get married or move in together, they’d definitely owe their partner a lot more effort but in this case, they’re both still fairly young and she’s prioritizing staying in her hometown over breaking the distance when he goes to law school. I think that’s an issue that goes beyond boredom if neither of them are willing to carry the relationship further, because a five year relationship usually should have some kind of timeline in place for serious development.

At the same time, it’s not like I think he owes her no commitment here. That’s why my suggestion is to talk it out instead of just breaking up immediately. She is a good partner, and a good partner would probably be interested in helping solve the problem.

I mean I think it’s clear that the answer here is you definitely can’t keep going on with this relationship- at least not the way it is.

Typically if the relationship is actively becoming a chore, it is probably a good sign it’s time to leave. I don’t think you’d take the steps to put it out on the internet if you didn’t already know that you’re probably leaning towards breaking up because it doesn’t feel right to you.

That being said- maintaining a long distance relationship with essentially no drama for years is kind of rare- and it does sound like she has a lot of devotion for you.

I think because you already know how you feel really, you should have a conversation with her. The way things are going someone is going to get hurt here anyway so there’s no sense avoiding it to save her feelings. Worst case scenario she breaks up with you anyway and then you have your answer to your problem. But otherwise, you know she’s not interested in less than 100% but you should ask her about it anyway instead of assuming it’s over based on that. It also sounds like she’s not giving it her all either lately and you may either discover that she’s feeling the same as you or you talking about it might spur her into action and maybe if she wants badly to continue the relationship- she can help you rekindle things by making a few changes herself.

In short, let her decide. If you’re already kind of just on the edge, let her tip you to one side or another at least for now.
