I follow a lot of instagram folks and while it's inspiring to see their transformations, I can get bummed out realizing that in the time that I've been trying to lose weight, they probably lost twice what I've lost. It's so hard not to compare with others, but it sometimes helps to take a look at what they eat on an average day. Some of the fastest weight loss folks have the strictest diets that are just not going to work for me at this point. I'm slowly getting better, but I need to allow indulgences here and there, if not for my own sanity, then to keep from being a social pariah. Overall, I try to remember where I came from and how great that feels.

It helped me to have a few snacks available at all times, which I was allowed to eat. Like baby carrots, grapes... Even nuts helped. The nuts are high in calories but kept me full for a very long time. Main goal: distract myself from candy and unhealthy snacks. Having 'legal food' available really helped to stop the mind games and focus on something else. After a few days without sugar rush/sugar crash cycles, I also stopped having sugar cravings, another nice side effect. Another good option to keep me full and stop cravings: huge smoothies, made from mixed (frozen) berries and (frozen) spinach, water. Super low in calories but a lot of volume. Anyway, stick to it, you came a long way already and you can do this!!
