Raw shishito peppers and thin sliced mini cucumbers, bang bang seasoning mixed with braising soy sauce, pickled red onions, sweet gherkin pickles, and a zero sugar pepsi
I've already maintained a 40lb loss for the past two years, but I have another 50ish pounds to go and I just..... can't be arsed anymore. Don't get me wrong, I *want* to so bad, I'm in my 30s, the clock is ticking and I'm terrified of the long term health consequences, I love the idea of all the ways my life would be improved by this loss, but none of it motivates me. And without that initial motivation I can't build up the discipline again.
To add to the complications I also have BED. And before anyone suggests GLP1s, I already tried but they're not covered by my insurance 🥲
I'm just so tired of meal planning and constantly fighting my little food loving brain
ETA: Because so many people have brought it up, yes I worked out, for 3 years I lifted regularly for about 45-60min 4-5 times a week, I enjoy weightlifting but I'm burnt out on trying to make time for it, I hate cardio because it's boring, yes even when I'm watching a show. Walking outside is fine, but it's getting hot where I live and I can't handle heat.
I was eating a balanced diet with a minimum of 100g of protein a day. I'm tired of tracking and planning and cooking or eating the same things every day.
I don't have anything medical wrong, including hormones. Even my cortisol levels are good despite my stressful job. I also don't binge because of trauma or my emotions, I binge because my brain is craving dopamine and it's easy to get dopamine from food
Yes I'm medicated, it only helps while the meds are in my system, yes I've tried Vyvanse and I can't take it because even on the 2nd lowest dose it gave me heart palpitations and horrible insomnia
I've fasted in the past, but I feel like I can't seem to manage it anymore, even just trying to not have to eat breakfast first thing when I wake up.
I can deal with hunger pangs, but I can't deal with feeling faint and dizzy and like I'm gonna puke, especially when I'm at work. So how do I stop this from happening?
Having too many bottles around is stressful and hard to take with me to work, but I hate those organizers that are like one days worth of pills per section because refilling is time consuming. So I bought the little pink organizer a while back. It was a little small for my Concerta and any capsules so recently upgraded! Love that this thing holds like a months worth of pills for most of my stuff
I have BED along with the ADHD. I need to lose weight for my health and quality of life. I managed to lose 40lbs and have maintained that for like 2 years. I know how to lose weight, but I am burnt the fuck out on fighting food noise every single day and fighting my ADHD to be able to stick to meal prep plans and logging everything. I KNOW how to make healthy, high protein meals from scratch, I know what snacks can help me through the day, and which foods are a no go. But I'm tired of all scale progress being a battle of wills between me and me.
My BED isn't emotional, it's dopamine seeking, my binging is the worst when I'm bored or need to focus on a boring task (like my job) I'm on Concerta and when I take my meds, the food noise is waaaay down.
I tried getting on a GLP1 but even though my doctor will prescribe it, my insurance won't cover it. My mom is on contrave though and specifically said how much less she thinks about food. So I'm curious to see if others here have tried this med and how they felt on it
I've had the original flavor dumplings and they were too hot to really be good, like you didn't taste anything. But these sat just on that line of clearing your sinuses completely but still having depth of flavor. They were very cheesy tasting but my only complaint was the wrappers were VERY thin and the dumplings were at risk of falling apart when I pulled them out of my steamer
This is where the popping hits me, doesnt happen in my left arm. I'm only using 10lbs
