I have some extra fat I am trying to lose. Can give it to you?

Jokes aside, have you checked your hormones? I believe thyroid issues sometimes hinder people from gaining any weight. I think protein shakes would rather help you lose weight as opposed to gain, because they keep you full for longer hence you eat less. I think you should eat more carbs and healthy fats. I’d eat desserts too but in moderation so you don’t develop any health issues

I used to be a little underweight when I followed a really rigid diet. For seven years I wouldn’t eat fast food, junk food, drink soda, eat dairy or meat. I eat all those things now in moderation, so more fat and protein. We eat lots of chicken, seafood and turkey. I went from 102lbs to 118lbs. I like to lift weights to stay toned and healthy.

Maybe do what I did to mess my metabolism up. Reduce calories for about two weeks or more and then ditch the diet and eat what you want - bc prom is over and you were able to fit into that amazing clearance dress but weren’t overweight to begin with. 💁🏻‍♀️ roller coaster ride ever since

I’m so incredibly jealous of you right now if I could turn green with envy I’d be forest green! You probably have the perfect body. As you get older your metabolism is slow down or if you have kids you’ll probably gain weight. don’t change yourself-you’re literally perfect the way you are and we all want to look like you! Enjoy being thin and being able to wear whatever you want without worrying about looking fat! Enjoy eating all the starchy and sugary foods the rest of us are avoiding! If your metabolism slows down when you get older, you’re going to miss being thin!

Add peanut butter or almond butter to smoothies, put it on apples and bananas for a snack. Add hemp seeds or quinoa to salads.

Maybe a nutritionist can help too?

How would you handle not getting a lunch break when you are a salaried employee treating patients for 40 hours a week? I don’t get documentation time either, but all notes are to be completed the same day. Some of us have reached out to HR and we’re told to discuss it with the regional director, but the regional director says we’d have to come in early or leave late to block out a lunch break. My commute is an hour each way, so I’d prefer not to make my day any longer. Advice?

I only drink about 2 times a week, but it’s the volume of drinks that’s the issue. I’m not ready to quit - just cut down a lot! Tips/advice appreciated! TIA :)

I think that I have eating disorder. I am always hungry but when I get food I can’t finish it, usually I am done after 2-3 bites and then I am hungry again after an hour. Anyone has similar issues? Have you been to a nutritionist or dietitian? If yes, is it covered by Insurance?

I just learned I was parentified severely, especially emotionally. The discovery came from outside of therapy, but having a place every week to sit down, slow down & reflect def led to it. Being enmeshed with my parents like this was a cause for my anxiety, low self esteem and workaholic, people pleasing tendencies. I'm working on extricating myself and finding my identity again in a way that will be easy on my conscience and values..so I'm learning! Please dont hesitate to go to therapy!...
