I will say, snacks are very expensive and most packaged things in grocery stores are very expensive. Even the salad packs are $5 each and If I get 5 then thats $25 when I can buy the ingredients for $15 to make the salad that serves way more than 5 potions. I'm overweight (not obese if there's any difference) and I found that shopping at places like Aldi where they only have certain items and not a lot of variety helps with discipline. Basically, I cant eat Oreos or cake if the only store I shop at and can afford doesn't sell it.

It’s extremely discouraging to put the work in for these last 2 years and only having seen I lost 10 pounds, my goal is I would like to lose 60 pounds, during my pregnancy I was in bed rest and gained much more weight than I intended, and after birth I did lose some weight but I had started new medications, and gained more weight back. I recently was told by my doctors I have a thyroid condition and started a medication to help, it can cause many issues aside from weight gain, I am hoping that it will help me with my weight though, I do not like this new body, it feels very foreign to me. I have never been overweight in my life. And it causes pain in my body, my knees and hips and back are in pain, and my doctors will tell me it is due to my complications from child birth but I also do think it is from so much weight gain in such a short time. I am working hard daily, and I have only lost 22 pounds so far, it has taken 2 years to lose 22 pounds.

To be fair, there is a HUGE problem with BMI. The classification of obese from a BMI of thirty was done studying white men only. Whether or not someone is so overweight that it negatively impacts their health depends on a variety of factors, not just a number on a chart because that number can mean different things for different ages, sexes, races etc. So no I don't think it's weird to criticize the chart in your doctor's office constructed from incomplete research.

90% agree but caveat from a professional standpoint- it depends a *little* bit on the person. For example, if an addicted person is also experiencing life circumstances that mean they're in a constant state of mental trauma or fight/flight, and have the freeze response, meditation can actually exacerbate the problem bc they're further removing themselves from their somatic processing. Again, it's very person specific, and there's not really a one size fits all solution to addiction, and meditation is incredibly helpful for many people experiencing it- it's just rarely the only solution and if theyre in a clinical setting, a lot of different factors need to be evaluated before recommending it(or any other treatment/coping skill)

I think our minds are our BIGGEST prisons. The second you tell yourself you can’t do this because x,y,z…then you’ve already stopped yourself from achieving it. As someone with has had severe depression her whole life. A mom and wife. Me cutting out processed foods and taking more time into what I put in, has been THE biggest game changer for me. I don’t even count calories or go to the gym 5 days a week. I just do mindful eating, portion control, drink only water, wine, and coffee (home made not a bunch of sugar Starbucks drinks anymore). Resetting my gut health, has literally saved my life. And I am certainly not thin and miserablE. I feel and AM stronger than I’ve ever been.

I know I might get boo’d…but fit is more attractive. Screw men, PEOPLE (including other women) treat you way better. It may not be fair, it sucks…but it’s true. Clothing fits better. You can participate in more social activities. Overall you’re just more attractive in society.

[@joelmonteiro1419]

It means that she wants to deude herself but she can’t.

[@fox-t9903]

She probably means that she’s obese but she’s not the “stereotypical” obese person who has a hard time working out or doing everyday tasks because she’s obese, so for her, obese is like having some medical issue but that not really influencing your life (at least that’s how I interpreted it)

I agree. But they might also need that in their lives, time and ways to decompress of the stresses of life. But yes in the end it comes down to prioritising physical health/fitness

Person with PCOS here, you can't 'fix' it, there is no cure. But you can 100% learn to live with it and figure out which foods and work outs work for your body and which don't. It's not an excuse, but rather an explanation on why it is harder to lose weight. The hardest part of losing weight, arguably, is keeping up, and not dropping whatever you're doing, and when there is very little to no result, like often with PCOS, it becomes harder to continue, because you're not being 'rewarded', but it is not impossible to lose weight with PCOS, it will just be harder, and that sucks.

[@DawnAAA]

Agreed it is harder. I have pcos from 95 kgs to 56kgs then it went up again to 66kgs then i went down again to 53kgs. Discipline is the key but as you get older its tough to stick to what diet works. Its pure commitment.

[@themaincrunch8773]

Watch “Glucose Goddess: 10 glucose hacks” minute 28:10. PCOS can be reversed. It’s about what you put in your body and how.

[@oceannkingg]

PCOS is also known for being diabetes of the ovaries. diabetes is all about blood sugar regulation and insulin. moderate exercise , no processed foods, drastically cut carbs/ sugar (they both are kinda the same and ultimately breakdown to glucose) seriously try to get educated on this stuff as it could be super beneficial for you ❤

[@themaincrunch8773]

@ great info! 👍

[@kiki.___]

it really just requires discipline. it’s always possible. even with depression, with being poor, with being stressed, it’s always possible. you just need a LOT of discipline and it’s really not paid attention to. people always assume these people that are fit just have life easy- no. they have insane amounts of determination & discipline

Also im South East Asian, aint no way im following Westerner lifestyle. I still need rice for at least once in a day😂 And honestly as you said, its far cheaper. I can buy veggie and egg for few days while fastfood is more expensive.

[@vithirin]

Body positivity doesn't work for everyone. People telling me "you're perfect the way you are" is what let me be okay with being overweight for so long. The only reason I get out of bed in the morning and hit the gym before school, is because I look in the mirror and I hate myself. What other reason do I have to change? Looking at myself and being brutally honest felt like I was waking up for the first time. I'm down 50 pounds now and I'm excited to lose 50 more. Happy new year!

@@di_xox4747 The thing is "overly seasoned" foods aren't necessarily unhealthy at all, most seasonings and spices have close to no calories at all. It's fatty fried foods and high sugar foods that are extremely unhealthy, and they tend to have relatively little seasoning. Chicken breast, broccoli and rice taste incredible when your chicken is covered in a spice mix, broccoli is roasted, and the rice is seasoned nicely.
