Breakfast coffee with creamer.
Marina, I totally agree with all you said in your post above... The smoking thing will finally completely subside also. I stopped 37 years ago, 4 packs a day to zilch cold turkey. I would not be here today if I had not, I don't think I would have lasted another year.
Your statement from above:
" I used to feel a lot of hunger in the past while trying to lose weight, but i'm not putting myself through this ever again because i hate the feeling and because it doesn't work at all."
That was the point I was trying to get across
And was trying to share that with everyone, especially those who are doing exactly that. I thought you may have been, but now am happy to see you aren't. Yes, there are many different facets to this weight loss thing, and weight loss is only a part of weight management. The flip side of trying to lose weight is that faced by those on the other side of the coin who are desperately trying to gain weight for various good reasons. There is much to be learned from them also, the first being that weight does not go on suddenly, it takes a long time. We did not get this fat on us instantly and it is not going away instantly, and one binge by itself hardly affects our current weight at all.
The reason I count calories or try to stay up with them anymore is to get a handle on my eating. By looking up the calories of diff foods and applying that to what I eat (or want to but don't) I have a much better idea of where the weight is coming from and knowledge makes practically everything easier to manage.
Mango and Cottage cheese..... never tried it, but MMMMMMMMMM I love mango! Sounds excellent
