heyy

yay im in exactly the same boat! i gained about 10lbs between sept and dec last semester and now im trying to lose it + more (like 15 more lol). and yeah my weight gain was mostly from bad cafeteria food and also eating out a lot (im not a big drinker)

umm in terms of snacks i have things like rice cakes, low cal hot chocolate, sugar-free jello pudding, boiled eggs, fruit (oranges, bananas, grapes, grapefruits...), laughing cow cheese, 100 cal chocolate bars, healthy crackers, low cal popcorn...

meals: i make sandwiches often (i bought a bag of spinach, chicken slices from the deli, tomato, cucumber and bread and i use laughing cow cheese instead of butter)..omelettes are also pretty easy...also (if you can afford it), get some of those lean cuisine type dinners. they're high in sodium but they can be a real life saver when theres no time to cook. usually, instead of heating them in the microwave like the box recommends, i'll put it into a pan and actually recook it. it tastes a million times better. canned soups are good too for stressful times.

umm i also like stirfrys alot so i just cut onions and peppers up into pieces, sautee them in some olive oil and spices, then add like tomato sauce, baked chicken (sometimes i fry it too), whole wheat spaghetti, mixed vegetables (buy a bag of them frozen). and tada you have like all your food groups in one meal. those are good to like make a lot when you have time and then keep it for days

wow this is really long but i hope it was helpful and good luck! god knows we need it...<33

this is all very helpful...thanks!

i've wondered the same thing

i mostly boil my eggs..but i dont eat the boiled yolk..(so liquid egg whites cant help me here)

and i dont have a dog.

still i hate wasting food

lol i dont really know

i've just always eaten omelettes as like sandwiches (i.e. with bread)

i feel like i wont be full enough if i just eat it alone

i do have tomatoes and spinach so maybe i'll try that...

THANKS!

wow

i want want WANT more toned upper arms! and toner abs would be nice...bigger boobs would be awesome too but i dont think thats going to happen

greatest assets? i think my legs are nice (legs, not hips! lol) and i have nice nails and teeth...

okaay.

so i guess you need to find something to do...preferably something that puts you around people? umm i dont know what you like to do so its hard to think of examples...music, taking a walk, exercise, try on a favorite outfit, visit friends?

dont do the small treat thing if it wont work but make sure to get a good amount of calories in during your meals. how many times a day do you eat?

my most binge-prone times are between lunch and dinner because im usually procrastinating by eating. also i LOVE to sleep lol. so now what i try to do (i cant do it everyday obviously) is to take a small nap between the two meals and when i wake up, the urge to binge is gone!

okay heres what i do and it really works for me:

i used to weigh myself everyday (in the morning, after peeing, before eating) and like you, the fluctuations would depress me. so now i have a weekly weigh-in day of monday (i like mondays because it forces you to eat well over the weekend hahha). BUT i am still allowed to step on the scale on the other days of the week and i do. but i make sure that on all other days i always step on the scale after i've already eaten that day (so like in the afternoon or the evening)

because i believe that your true weight can only be determined from weighing in the morning (after peeing, before eating). so when i weigh myself in the evening on like a thursday, if its high, i can console myself with the fact that its just the food in my stomach and if its low then obviously i rejoice lol...AND i get to fulfill my OCD-ish desire to step of the scale everyday =)

i hope this helps!

wow that sucks..im also in college and im so thankful that i have access to a kitchen! that said...lean cuisines are good, veggies in the microwave, canned beans (yum!), oatmeal (for breakfast) is microwaveable...

also does your college cafe allow you to take things up to your room with you? because i know that here, theres a place where you can buy sandwiches, drinks, fruits etc with your meal plan and its really a life saviour when i dont have time to cook...
