Listen man, if you don’t want 209 - I’ll gladly swap with youIt's called addiction, and I have the worst form of it, food addiction. Why is it the worst? Because you need food and it's always around. I'm back up to 209 lbs.

I can be the same way, so I try to drink lots of water and eat some carrots or tomatoes with salt and pepper! And then jump into bed. Or even eat a chunk of meat, pork is cheaper than dirt, and even factory farm chop with some decent fat is probably way better for you than anything "snack food" from the centre of the grocery store. No starch sides or sauce required, just some salt and pepper or whatever herbs you like.
We are guilty of it sometimes but to my wife's credit she many times fills up reusable waters bottles with ice and filtered water from the refrigerator.
Polluting the planet with plastic should be the least of anyones concerns. What you are not being told the chemicals from the plastics are polluting the very water you are drinking out of them. Remember plastics are from petroleum. Yet, even worst is the upcoming attention from micro-plastics in the very fresh spring water that you are drinking out of plastic bottles.
Same goes for the plastic lining in aluminum cans. They actually alter and affect the hormone levels in us.
Let us not even get into non stick cookware. It's a disaster and those chemicals are now in every human body on earth.
Im only saying this because so many people do not drink tap water because they think its unhealthy yet tap water is among the most tested water on planet earth in the USA>
Then we drink out of untested plastic bottles because we think it is better
yeah, these are HARD to resist!Yes, me too. I totally get it. Two things I need to stay away from.
1)Pizza is not safe around me. So, I only allow it in the house when grandkids come so that is when I get my fix.
2) This one I learned from my dad and his mom. A love for either fresh baked breads or really fresh french breads.
You cannot out run a fork. Bad habits trump hard work.
In Canada, most people that I know are still getting regular Covid shots (about every 6 months). People do occasionally get Covid but most don't get very sick - usually a few upper respiratory symptoms and feeling crummy for a few days. The only way people know they have Covid is because their (home) Covid test is positive. Covid test kits are available at pharmacies and they're free. People with a positive Covid test tend to stay at home for a week or so, so as not to infect other people.
Other than washing our hands when we've been out, and the regular shots, we now live quite normally. Use of masks is quite rare (and you always wonder if the wearer is sick), no hand sanitizing.

The best way I've heard it put is: You get fit in the gym; you get skinny in the kitchen.
Pretty much. Activity can help keep the weight off but you still have to watch your eating habits and hydration. Athletes who have to weight in for competition understand the role diet and hydration plays in weight loss/gain better than anyone. Ask wrestlers, boxers, judokas, MMA fighters, etc if they have a diet plan. All will say yes. The scale can be just has as hard to beat as the other guy. You can be in shape and still be overweight.
Yep, I've been there, the week after Halloween... To many of the kids candies makes me crave more and more! +5lbs in a few days!
I find once I go a couple days without sugar and refined carbs, I may still get hungry but its not quite the intensity of a sugar crash hunger.
Veggies are my crutch, a whole tomato and half a cucumber fill me up, with a chunk of meat, or a couple of over easy eggs, so my inner caveman is happy so I get to sleep, and then I don't tend to wake up ravenous either.
Do some intense cardio(I find walking, I burn 72 calories and then eat 500 extra, with running its 25 min to burn the 500) and do some strength exercises so your body has some muscle mass to help burn calories.

I have gone round and round with my mother-in-law over that very thing. She swears tap water will kill you. I keep telling her it is one of the most watched, treated. tested and policed things around. Probably even better than some of those bottled waters.
Last few weeks I've been having popcorn, as it's healthy, right? Seems to cause more issues in the early morning than it's worth. Bit of cheese and crackers though does a better job of filling me--it's the drinks on the side that I need to nip.
I don't think you'll find micro-plastic bits in spring water at the source. A few dozen feet of soil make a pretty good filter.
Spring water in a plastic container is a different story.
Agree
Not here, pharmacy charges $7
Air popped? Yes
Microwaved. Not the ones dripping with butter, just something lightly done.
In the end, it wasn't agreeing with me, so rather easy to nix.
Our Covid test kits (for about 6 tests) are free - to us. Our Covid shots are free too - to us.
I expect public health pays for both.
Do you know specifically how much in calories you are eating with the crackers I bet more than you think. If I was in a cut no way I’d be sitting around eating cheese and crackers that’s a recipe for failure for sure.
