Hi,
I am also new here.
I am a bit confused at my weight. Ever since I started menstruating I started to gain weight SUPER fast.
I went from a pale and skinny girl to a 297 pound girl
I took me years to finally realise that eating potatoes had a big part in me gaining so much weight.
Everytime I ate anything with them in it I would suddenly turn WAY more hungry, they also made me ill. I thought the vegetables did, but no.
Now I have stopped eating them and white bread and I lost around 37 pound in about a year. Not much but it is a start.
I also noticed that I am no longer that swollen in my face as well. I really looked ill in pictures of my teen years, really swollen not just from being fat. Something just looked off.
I hate that I had no idea that something as silly as eating potatoes could make me sick until I had gained so much weight, it ruined my teen years for sure.
I also fear that I may have inhereted the diabetes type 1 that runs in the familly, that would explain the hypo's I often have. I have them A LOT less now that I eat whole wheat bread, and stay away from white bread.
Currently my eating habits are these (sorry I am a very boring eater
):
Morning: 3 pieces of roasted whole wheat bread with a thin slice of ham.
Snack: 1 Piece of whole wheat bread with a slice of salami or ham.
Dinner: A small bowl of rice with some vegetables.
Snack: Watermelon
And if I get sick at night and get a hypo I always have an apple in my room
99% of the time I drink water. If I drink something else it is an iced tea.
I do not like cookies, candy or similar things. I can't even actually eat them because the sugar would make me feel dizzy superfast.
Once ate an Oreo cookie, had to spit it out because it was way to sugary for me to give an example.
For now I stick with whole grain bread considering it is helping me a lot and it has stopped the hypos mostly and the feeling like my stomach is on fire. I hope to buy a treadmill someday soon so I can turn my fat into muscle. I find it important to not just lose weight but make my body stronger as well.
