Need help w/sugar

I do not like to demonize food, and I allow all foods in my diet. That being said, I eat way too much sugar. I'm meaning like, I'm binging on sugary food. I would like to cut down a lot on sugar, but definitely not cut it out completely.

Part of my problem is I never know what to eat, and sugar is quick and easy. Does anyone else have this problem and have suggestions on how to fix it? I also have issues just knowing what to eat in general, so I often eat fast food and things like that. It is definitely hindering my weight loss, but I'm also worried about getting diabetes and high blood pressure (it runs on both sides of my family.)

Negative reactions in public to weight loss

In 2020 I (25f) took myself on a health and fitness journey and managed to lose 30kgs (~65lbs). I did it through improving my diet and regular exercise which I still maintain to this day. I lost the bulk of the weight in the first year and then about 6/7kgs in the most recent year.

At first I had a lot of positive attention for family and friends saying how much happier and healthier I looked, and it was true, I really did manage to turn my life around.

I’m currently sitting at 170lbs and I know that this is by no means thin but I do have good muscle definition in the back, shoulders, arms, legs and glutes. My mid section had always been a struggle as I am quite soft in the tummy area, some of which is loose skin due to the lose, however I really don’t care so much about this area now and embrace it rather than hide it.

I’ve noticed in recent months that I get a lot of women looking me up and down and it’s been making me really uncomfortable. All I can imagine them thinking is “oh god look at her, she really shouldn’t be wearing that”. I would consider myself thick fit, I never want to be super skinny. Being strong is way more attractive me to. But I don’t know if this is offending people in public.

I recently started a new job and a lot of women in the office look and up and down and make it very obvious. I am an Australia size 12 and like to dress in a gothic style of clothing. Are they offended, impressed, jealous, curious? I have no idea…. But it makes me self conscious almost as much as I was before my weight loss

30 Day Accountability Challenge - March Sign Ups!

Hello lovely losers!

It’s a new month! Holy sheep I missed it! February having 28 days really tripped me up! But I'm here & so are you, so let’s do it!

For the newbies to the sub reddit, please start here, so much good info!

https://www.reddit.com/r/loseit/wiki/quick_start_guide

https://www.reddit.com/r/loseit/wiki/faq

And hey, maybe it’s not a bad idea to review them anyway to you returning conquerors. I do occasionally to remind myself of the basics.

Here’s what we do in the DAC my friends!

This is the sign up post (and day 1) to outline your goals, weight loss, self care, creative, whatever keeps your motor going.

There will be a daily update post for you to chime in about how day whatever is going!

At the end of the month, there is a wrap up post to reflect on the progress you made or didn’t make & what you learned. Learning is progress my friends!

We try to foster a supportive, caring place to discuss the actual day to day of deficits & counting & caring so much about how we fuel our bodies & lives. So be kind, interact if you like & hopefully you feel supported and cared for. Leading by example, here I go!

Weigh in daily, enter in Libra & remind self that it’s a number not a self-worth estimate:

1800-2000 calories a day, two pounds to lose this month: X/X days.

Exercise 5 days a week (strength work/tbar swings 3 days a week): I really want to focus on not just doing cardio this month. X/X days.

Writing project and/or journaling -1,666 words a day: This is very important for my mental health.

Todays gratitude list: Today I’m grateful for -

Express intention (day, week, month or moment): Today/this week/this evening, (whatever timeframe) I intend to .

Respond to comments more frequently (like, all y'all at least once a week):

Your turn! What’s going to get you going in the month ahead?

Went to the Dietitian... my initial thoughts

We discussed past diets and my weight history. No lie her reaction to WW was kinda hilarious and funny.

We discussed examples of what I ate the last two days.

We discussed my goal (which is weight loss - associated with getting to a healthier BMI for health reasons).

I DID NOT jump on a scale - which part of me is relieved about and part of me is not relieved about.

Here is what I'll be working on 1) Getting in one more serving of yogurt esp right before bed (when I typically get hungry). 2) Getting in a tbsp of olive oil (she was pro avocado oil but I am allergic) a day plus a serving of nuts. 3) Eat dark chocolate for my sweets. 4) Eat until I'm full and try to be mindful of that (this was probably my biggest and most problematic point to be honest). 5) Look into Flax (idk) 6) go to ellynsatterinstitute.org to look at how to help my kiddos make good choices

So part of me knows and understands that I am insanely stand off ish and that I almost always reject new people. It takes a long time before I accept others into my circle of trust - esp medical professionals. So please know that I'm a bit biased of a new person and am distrustful of this just outright. I know that about myself going in and I know to tell myself I'm going to work on all of this regardless of my feelings. Just a full on disclaimer. I might not like it or agree, but I'm going to do it.

All felt very basic and fine. Not jazzed about this "eat until your feel full" bullshit. Like, girl, I gained back a lot of weight attempting to understand fullness and that ain't it, but they need to do all the things in their setting first I guess. Remember, I am trying here... I will try hard to do what she is saying.

That's it. We'll see if I gain weight or lose it.

Weight loss without people knowing about it

(F) 67kg (cw) 55kg (gw) 5’4

As in, losing weight with the least amount of comments from friends and family as possible. So how to hide smaller lunches, yadda yadda.

My dream is for them to see me one day and realise I’m skinnier. There is no “Oh so and so is all healthy now.” Or “Good on you for looking after your health.” No more snide comments about what I’m eating, or incessantly bringing the fact that I’m not chubby anymore up.

I just want to fit into my old jeans again in peace, you know. Is that too much to ask.

Edit: a word

"Hey man, have you lost weight?"

Probably one of the best things I've heard whilst on my weight loss journey. At first this seems like a fairly obvious thing that people would say after you've lost a fair few pounds, but any doubts or worries are gone completely when someone says something like that. Not only did it make me feel good but it also gave me that extra bit of motivation which I'm sure most if not all of us have needed at some point and it also let me know that I'm taking the right steps to reaching that ultimate weight loss goal. It would be great to see some replies of what people have said to you that has let you know that your hard work has been paying off and has given you that motivational boost!
