Hi there

I just recently moved out of the city my parents live in for the first time and really feel that this is my time to shape up and lose some weight, however, when I am alone, I tend to over eat.

I'd love some support! you know! help me with portion control, and all the good stuff!

I am 23 years old and ready to rock!

Welcome!

Please make youself at home on the boards. You'll find lots of tips and tricks for eating well while living alone. We're glad you're here!

Yepyep, welcome, glad to have you join us. I suggest you look for a Challenge or Support group to join; small check-in groups make it easier to connect, get involved, and be accountable. We have groups centering around specific diet plans, themes, or age groups, so find one that inspires you and just post to join! Be sure to check out the 20-somethings.

Welcome! I loved living on my own because it made me fully in charge of the foods and choices I made. I consciously didn't purchase or keep unhealthy foods in the house, which meant I needed to actively drive to the store to get something if I wanted it. That also meant I had plenty of time to talk myself out of it!

My favorite tip is to cook a full dish and portion it into the number of portions it provides. Freeze the extra portions and you have your own frozen meals that are unprocessed, cheaper, and catered to your dietary needs and tastes. That way when you're too tired to cook, you still have a healthy meal readily available that is in the correct portion size and no seconds (unless you want to defrost an entire second entree!).

Welcome! I grew up in a house where junk food was EVERYWHERE.
When I moved out I stocked up on healthy foods, thinds to fuel my body. I love that when I get home I don't have junk staring at me.

But I also hate that I feel like, I can eat whatever and no one is judging me. Hmpf. It's a catch 22.

Anyway! Welcome! I hope you find all the support you are looking for here!!
