I'm glad you can at least recognize that there is a part of you that thinks you don't have an issue- 2300 is still very low. Plugging in your height and activity level to Active's fitness calculator suggests that you should be eating at least 2500, probably closer to 2800 just to maintain. And 2500 is for "low active"!! If you're going to a gym regularly I'd bet you're in the 'active' category.

>I still just seriously doubt that it’s anything worth anyone’s time.

Your life is worth it! There are many people who have made a career for themselves out of their empathetic nature that would love to be given the opportunity to help you recover. You sound very kind and worth it <3

I know you said you don't plan to seek help, but I hope you can at least someday recognize your strength and your worth.

It got admittedly super cheesy at a few points, but I checked out this book from my local library and really got a lot of good messages out of it!

It's kinda pricy for the whole thing but $1 per can isn't so bad. There's also those flavored 0 calorie fizzy waters (the brand I usually see is sparkling ice) that might come in grape flavor. I know there's grape raspberry.

Man 30 cents under free shipping lmao. Get some stickers too or somethin.

im plant-based and have tried a bunch of vegan protein powders! the Garden of Life Greens and Protein Powder (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01A7N9KPK?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share) is vegan and offers as much protein as most whey-infused protein powders, plus i think it tastes good and isn’t very caloric! i usually just mix it with water, but sometimes i treat myself to a pseudo-milkshake by blending a scoop of the powder with unsweetened almond milk, frozen banana, ice, some PB2, and a handful of greens (not enough to impact taste but enough to make me feel like a #health#queen). huge fan

I like this because it looks sleek and classy but it's actually very practical! It seals very well!

if you're willing to really splurge, I recommend this set to go with it:

Yeah!! Here's an example of one on Amazon: link

You are in my thoughts and prayers for sure! You can do it! Hahaha

Omg I never thought to take pills!

Whenever I'm a little bloated I start to drink a small amount of kombucha in the morning for the probiotics and it normally fixes things. It's hard to want to drink a little bit every single morning though.

Also electrolytes sometimes help me with bloat, Propel makes a 0 cal powder you add to water.

EDIT: I'm trying to make the switch over to vegan, so if anyone is interested this is the best vegan capsule probiotic I found.

im sorry, that must have been traumatic for you and im sorry you had to go through that. most all new electric blankets have an auto shut off feature to prevent overheating and catching fire at least (e.g. this one on amazon shuts off after 2 hours) the one i have has a removeable cord, so after it heats up you can unplug the cord from the blanket and carry it around with you for awhile (i have a super hard time detaching the cord but its a safety feature nontheless) if you end up changing your mind let me know. stay warm friend <3

I've heard good things about this one but haven't tried it! I was thinking of switching to it from ensure so if you try it let me know!

these thermal leggings on amazon have really good reviews and are pretty cheap! Romastory Winter Warm Women Velvet Elastic Leggings Pants (Coffee) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B075L73VKS/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_wBUYDbV5M3C40

Sure! Here's what I've personally tried so far.

Sunergetic Brand. I've purchased this brand the most and it's what sold me on the supplement in the first place. Though, $20 might be steep for some people for only 240 capsules. (At four capsules a day, that's a 2-month supply.)

[NOW Foods](NOW Supplements, Psyllium Husk 700 mg, 180 Capsules https://www.amazon.com/dp/B000MGR2T4/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_mriODbHPW9MF7). This is a well known brand and a good "try and see" option, imo. If you don't see the desired results, then you're only out $10 for 180 capsules, with Prime. The dosage is slightly lower, as well. They also offer a loose powder version that's excellent for keto baking recipes.

When I'm running low again, I think I'll see what's available outside of Amazon. I haven't checked GNC or Vitamin Shoppe, but I'm hoping they might offer something that's more .mg-per-pill at a reasonable price. I should warn you that these capsules are not small, and four of them in one sitting can be un-fun if you're less than a stellar pill-swallower.

Most of the bottle instructions will tell you: Always chase with an entire glass of water!

Electrolytes are soooo important, especially if you’re restricting heavily or doing very low carb. I take Oxylent everyday and when I forget to take it, I feel shaky and dizzy.

I have to take colostrum & collagen for a health condition, and I’ve noticed that they really help with inflammation/muscle repair. Collagen in particular has really improved my skin, hair & nails! I love to mix Primal Kitchen vanilla coconut powder with tea, coconut milk, and Jordan’s Skinny syrup; I’m currently drinking a delicious birthday cake flavored tea.

I completely agree with the vegetarian Better Than Bullion, I prefer the vegetable one as the "chicken" and "beef" taste to much like real chicken and beef and it kind of spooks me.

I make the broth and put in some soup mix I get at the bulk food store that has lentils, wild rice, and dried vegetables, or just some dried soup vegetables. That way I can adjust the amount of stuff in my broth and I don't have to worry about fresh vegetables going to waste sitting in my fridge.

I only just eat plain old salt and no salt but I have bought electrolyte supplements before (https://www.amazon.com/Medique-03033-electrolyte-replacement-50-Packets/dp/B004IZA46S/ref=sr_1_10?ie=UTF8&qid=1543180781&sr=8-10&keywords=electrolyte+supplement+tablets) and I liked them, except I had to use like 6 tablet a day.

I believe the reason people take fish oil is for the omega fatty acids. These also naturally occur in other foods, it just happens to be very abundant in fish oil. Amazon has some vegan options which are about the same price or cheaper compared to the fish oil options, but you might be able to find vegan options at a natural food store/pharmacy as well.

Oh I do that at work lol. Everyone is used to the crazy lady in the corner wrapped in a blanket in the middle of summer (they over air condition).

Mostly joking about the complaining. More like self-deprecating jokes.

But seriously my tea thermos is my life. It's this one, unfortunately current unavailable. But it keeps tea warm for hours, so I always have something hot to sip. Really makes a difference. Also tricks me into keeping myself hydrated lol.

"Hot Hands" are my friend, and now maybe yours too.
