Do you have access to good, healthy food? Like, all the time?
@CarpCharacin, get over here! I might as well lecture two people on healthy eating habits at the same time, rather than make two separate posts.
Let me go over my notes, and I'll lecture....

THIS KILLS ME.
I laughed out loud.
Carp is going to be pissed....watch!

That's because it's a lifestyle change. Commit to three months. After that, it will be habit and you will be able to keep it up.

Thanks!! I’ll have to try this! I guess I just need to force myself to do it? It sounds stupid but honestly I’m so used to just popping toast in toaster or maybe making eggs which take like two minutes or whatever that it gets to be work to stick with actually cooking as well as walking/working out, etc. and everything at once. I tried to give up sugar and dairy and stuff once too and failed at those as well. Especially the sugar, I really really really wanted something sweet and caved after like a few days

I eat less calories than I should, but I'm fine. My weight is stable. LOL

I peed.

I want to or at least know it’s bad but don’t stick with it. I think Carp just doesn’t think it’s bad

Amen to that... I think they’d make a great couple

LECTURE TIME!! GATHER 'ROUND!
Okay, first off, while one can obtain nutrition from pills, it is best to get it from real food. This is because the stomach should be breaking down food, as the stomach not only extracts nutrients, but energy as well.
Another reason is fiber. Fiber is required to aerate stools and helps to move things through the intestines faster. Fiber also helps to reduce constipation.
Yet another reason is the fact that there are probably several undiscovered nutrients in whole foods that we require to properly function, and taking pills -- or nutrition shakes, Carp! -- will not necessarily provide those nutrients.
And yet another reason is that it is harder to overdose on nutrients. Overdosing can be, as Nabiki said earlier in the thread, just as bad as not enough. By controlling what and how much we eat, we can much better control how much of each nutrient we take in.
And, one last reason, pills are expensive! You can get enough nutrition by eating a balanced diet -- there is no need to use pills unless your doctor says so.
So, there you have it. It might take some time to shift from pills to a regular diet, and quitting cold turkey is probably not a good idea.
I would recommend creating a list of easy, healthy dishes to prepare, and improving shopping habits. There should always be vegetables in the house -- fresh or canned, though fresh is definitely best. Buy fruit, too, and dairy products such as milk or yogurt -- or both!
You don't need to swear off desserts or snacks, but should reduce their intake if they make up a large part of your daily food intake. Buy less of them -- that way, you won't be tempted as much.
And, finally, stick with it! It takes time for improvement after changing to a healthier diet, so give it time.
Oh, and talk with your doctor and/or a nutritionist -- they'll be able to give you some more specific pointers on where to go with this.
Okay, lecture over. Dismissed.
Apologies if I offended or upset anyone with this. I am really, truly only trying to help.

I need to go get something to snack on while I read this.
BRB

This is getting good.

BULLSHHHHHIIIITTT..
You have been told all this same stuff by many people many times.
You do not want to change your silly ways.

It would be ok and maybe we would stop trying to help you if you would just admit that you don't want to ever try, but you always seem like you want to try.

Which makes you the most ridiculous.
