Healthier Eating for a Picky Eater

I’m 21 years of age and I’m tired of being a picky eater. It makes weight loss and managing PCOS symptoms so much harder.

That being said, I cannot stand the taste and texture of most vegetables. Outside of onions, uncooked carrots, lettuce, cucumber, etc. I can’t do it.

I wish I was the type of person who could eat steamed broccoli straight out the bag. I’ve even gone as far as considering researching how to scientifically rewire my taste buds (I know stupid).

For other picky eaters, parents of picky eaters, Etc. please give me your practical tips on incorporating vegetables and leafy greens into your diet without hating every second of it. I’m not that much of a cook either, so everytime I’ve tried preparing vegetables such as broccoli to make it taste better it’s always just hot and bitter.

Is my weight loss journey healthy

Some stats for background info I am a 28F 5’4” at the start of my journey I was 138 pounds, which was the heaviest I’ve ever been, and I am down to 123 pounds. I’ve lost roughly 1.5 pounds a week. My goal weight is 120 pounds. I had a certain date I wanted to hit 127 pounds by and now I have a certain date I want to 120 pounds by. My weight loss happened quite fast. I started a calorie deficit and got to 123 pounds, surpassing my goal weight of 127 pounds, in a faster time frame than I thought I would. I upped my calorie intake, just recently, because I am extremely happy with my body at this point and have a much longer time frame to lose the 3 pounds by now. What I am worried about is when I am ready to maintain my weight, is weighing everything I eat healthy? As of right now to stay in a slight calorie deficit I am still weighing everything I eat and using MyFitnessPal to track my food intake. I don’t want to be excessive with counting calories, but I don’t think I can eyeball portion sizes without over/underestimating.

Struggling during weight loss and calorie deficit.

I’m trying to lose some weight (at absolute most 10lbs/5kg) - specifically fat. I don’t have an exact “calorie deficit target”, but these past days I’ve been in a deficit ranging from -300 to -700.

I’m average height for a female (5’5/166 cm) and already on the slim side (according to bmi). I have a small frame and short waist, which makes me appear stubbier and less “curvy”.

I have always wanted to either lose weight or tone up. I’ve lost some weight, even too much, but gained back healthy weight. Still struggling to get that “toned” look. I’m really active and have started implementing more strength training (body weight) and have now divided it into splits that focuses on different body parts. Not sure how it’s working since I’m very impatient to get results. ;’)

The weight loss isn’t really the main problem, but the deficit is. Past times I’ve tried to be in a deficit, I’ve ended up hungry and exhausted without any energy. This time I’ve managed to sustain basically normal energy levels and haven’t been suffering. Of course, calorie counting takes up time and effort, but that’s not too much of an issue. I always feel really down during calorie deficits, especially since I have pmdd which makes that part of the month an absolute mess.

I also find myself fixating a lot on counting calories and it’s easy to get stuck - like it’s scary to stop.

Any advice?

Why am I like this?

I've basically been on my weight loss journey most of my life.

Looking back to when I first thought I was fat is heartbreaking, because I was 9 years old. I always had such thin friends, and I hit puberty pretty early, so my curves made me insecure. I have felt uncomfortable in my body for as long as I can remember.

I have been working out from home for the last 15ish years. I have this pattern... I'll get very into my new health routine, I'll lose weight/build muscle. Then something will happen - I'll complete a workout program, or go on vacation, or get sick/injured... Doesn't matter what it is that happens, the result is always the same. I'll just stop everything.

I truly can't think of a single reason why I continue to self sabotage. (I've heard of people subconsciously sabotaging because they were once SA'd and don't want to attract attention in case this occurs again, or they subconsciously gain weight to spite a parent who cares too much about appearances... Etc.) I have never had anything like this happen, so I'm even more frustrated because I don't know what the mental block is, but I know one must exist, because WHY?

I'm trying to get back on the horse this week, but I'm just so frustrated and feeling defeated. This is such an unhealthy way to live, but I don't know how to overcome this weird mental obstacle.

Question About Movement

I’m a 62-year-old female that currently weighs about 288 with a goal weight of 150. I’m down from my all-time high of 380 (really? Did I used to weigh that?! It’s been 4-5 years or more since then.) I’m not even really sure how I lost it after years of being on every diet ever!

I’ve gained and lost tons of weight over the years, but have not done well maintaining any significant weight loss except this most recent amount. I was 20 pounds lighter, but then I went through a phase where I just started eating like a fool. I gained this 20# and it will not budge!

Here’s my question, how do people pass the time from roughly 7 pm until they go to bed? All I want to do is sit around and watch TV (I do get up and walk a few minutes every hour). Or do people just go to bed really early? I know sleep is a big component of weight loss . . .

What’s something you stopped doing that actually helped you lose weight?

Most weight loss tips are about what you should start doing — eating clean, exercising, tracking macros, etc. But I’ve been wondering... what about the stuff you stopped doing?

Like maybe you stopped obsessing over the scale, or stopped skipping breakfast, or stopped doing super intense workouts you hated.

Sometimes the biggest progress comes from letting go of stuff that wasn’t working or was stressing you out.

So I’m curious, for those of you who’ve lost weight (or are still on the journey), what’s something you stopped doing that made a real difference?
