But I know what you mean about self control. My favorite thing in the world is bread and butter. Doesn't even have to be a good bread! I have it easier though bc it's just me and bf and we typically eat fairly healthy, though he does want to get junk food from time to time, and then ends up not eating it. So guess who eats it so it doesn't go bad?! ME. I would prefer to just not have it in the house but he insists. At least most of it is frozen fries so that doesn't go bad, but hot dogs, bacon, etc do. Or he has to have four different kinds of cheeses and we can't finish it before it gets moldy so that's a waste of money too.
And that heavy syrup healthy? EEK! OMG yeah it's just sugar. Is your family those people that eat whatever and are thin or are they overweight and don't really care about health, or normal? I know it's hard with a medical condition. My sister has epilepsy and takes various meds for seizures and depression. Depending on the meds she will go up or down in weight in big fluctuations. She's like 5'3" and has gone from 100lbs to 180lbs. She doesn't eat much and when she gains it's impossible to get the weight off until she changes meds. |
Thanks for trying to help, I know what I need to do but knowing and executing are different.
My biggest mental hurdle was getting past wasting food, eating something I don't truly want or need is just as wasteful as throwing it out. I used to eat things because they were going bad, now I'm like F it, I didn't buy it, it's not my fault.
My family used to be thin, it caught up to them around 45. My mom is 5'5 and about 170, my grandmom is shorter and heavier. My mom eats like a 5 year old, basically she'll eat tomato, cheese, and carbs (pizza, spaghetti, ziti, etc) occasionally she'll eat other stuff but acts very put out. She'll eat veggies with lots of cheese or a fast food salad, to her that's healthier. She also only drinks coke. My grandmom isn't as bad, but she drinks coke and eats mostly junk too.
My problems started because of drinking nothing but soda, steroids, being sick, not being allowed outside much, and being fed mostly junky carbs. I've always had blood sugar problems and the old recommendation was sugar, no mention of following it with protein or fat.
I recently learned protein can spike your blood sugar too, that explains some of my recent crashes. I'll be ok and then suddenly get dizzy, weak, irritated, and nauseous. I don't fear hunger, but I fear that feeling.
That's awful about your sister, has she tried keto? It's supposed to help seizures.
I'm not on meds that effect my weight, but I've been on birth control pills since I was 13 (medical), idk if they've effecting my weight. It's more the mental tax of dealing with being young and having serious medical problems, then finally getting used to it and something else pops up. Plus being tired and in pain makes it hard to want to do anything. I currently need to make appointments with 5 doctors.
