Forgive the new account, I just moved my account over from lemmy.ca.

I’m working on losing weight right now and needed to rant a little. Currently in the luteal phase of my cycle and all I want to do is eat! What I would give to eat everything in my recently stocked fridge… 😩

On the plus side, I’m down a little over 5 lbs!

Any tips on taking my mind off of food would be greatly appreciated. Feel free to join in on venting.

Currently craving chocolate, breakfast bagel sandwiches, sushi, and the costco sized container of grapes in my fridge… and pancakes with looootttss of syrup.

Thank you for listening!

    maybe food wouldn’t take up so much space in your head if you weren’t hungry all the time? almost like your body is trying to tell you something?

      When someone says that they are overweight from overeating and that they are trying to eat less to be less overweight, and that food noise in their brain is making that difficult, maybe telling them to eat whatever they want whenever they want is not good advice.

      Maybe one post to vent my frustrations isn’t representative of my daily experience, but thanks for assuming I’m starving myself or being unhealthy.

        dieting is unhealthy. most people who go on a diet end up heavier than when they started because you’re fucking up your metabolism. i didn’t need to make any assumptions, was just sharing the scientific consensus
