🔥Extra! Extra! WE ARE ABOUT IT✅

Extremely sick is a little nutty. Don't tell yourself that and you won't feel sick by eating smaller portions.
You'll never lose weight if you continue to eat a shitload of stuff each meal.

Another good trick is to use smaller dishes!!!! Your mind just sees a full plate whether it’s 6” or 10” in diameter

People that have the "I can't stand fresh tomatoes." gene cannot get over the disgust that fresh tomatoes cause. Interestingly enough the people with that gene tend to like processed tomato products.

I’d rather sniff a cecal than eat fresh tomatoes.

Did you eat all of that?

Yes. It was not that much. It was the perfect amount

 

[ShrekDawg]

That looked like way too much food for one meal for anyone.
You should work on eating little less. Less is more.

It takes practice... The more often you practice eating a little bit less the more normal it will feel/become to you.

It was not that much food. My dad and even Susie had the same exact amount. It was a good size. And it was healthy. Not McDonald’s crap.

Also consider doing weight training and core strength work.
Squats
Romanian dead lifts and squeeze your butt at the end of the lift.

Front walking lunges and backward lunges to fire your legs from different angles.

Also if you have bands…do some lateral walking

So excited for you! You don’t have to do these more than a couple of days a week. Good luck!

I did my workouts Sat and Sun with bands - they really do work when you add them to squats or wood chop excercises. I'll look at the lateral walking - never heard of that term before.

EDIT-- Now that I see the video I remember lateral walking from when I had a knee injury many moons ago. Maybe a rehab exercise I had to do?

I've noticed most people who hate water have texture or taste sensitivity. My middle child is like that, she drinks a lot of hot tea and needs the water to be super cold and full of lemon to drink it. She actually says water tastes sweet to her, she's tasting the minerals in the water. There's a also super tasters, those are usually people who can only eat a handful of things without gagging, it's a real condition. They have a special protocol for super tasters, I have not learned that just yet.

Super taster with ARFID here my diet is pretty limited and the gagging when trying new things, even if I don’t mind the taste but the texture bugs me, is enough to discourage me from branching out. It’s horribly embarrassing in public (on top of social anxiety, it’s excruciating), so I usually stick to familiar restaurants when eating out with people.

It was mostly vegetables and meat anyway. Broccoli, ham, egg, and some rice

@TheDawg I can eat a pretty decent amount in one sitting, but I can't eat more than twice a day. I was doing 'intermittent fasting' and 'OMAD' diets way before I even knew what they were. It's totally dependent on the person.

It’s extremely bitter by itself…..
It was one of the ingredients for a smoothie recipe on my program and the other ingredients (fresh apple, vanilla protein powder etc) masks the bitterness so just have to get past the green color

I used to eat kale in the green smoothies, but I destemmed it and dipped it in boiling water a few times until it turns almost fluorescent green and it's not as bad.

Yeah, I’m almost 6 feet tall and built bigger like my dad, I need more than bird portions I mean, I do have a tendency to overeat sometimes but I did not that time. I know when I do and what’s a good amount for me
