Maintaining Weight

[Manola]

So I recently, foolishly, broke my own rules and let a sprig of hope pop up in my life. Of course, the road to happiness is not necessarily my destiny, so it was short lived. I only have a few months before I can allow myself to ctb, but the emotional toll has started obvious weight loss that I need to hide right away, lest anyone start asking questions. Anyone have any experience with this? Any advice to give?

Wish I could help you, maybe you can do a food schedule.
I struggle the other way around, I eat too much because of the stress.

I'm hoping to choke down some food tonight after work. It's been about 36 hours since I ate. Tried to eat several times, but food is just nasty in my mouth and like a brick in my stomach. I have people asking now and it's becoming a problem. Thank you for reaching out.

Due to a medical condition, I found myself eating a lot of ice cream. It stopped my weight loss and actually added some where it is not wanted.
Chocolate syrup is a nice addition.

The condition is mostly resolved but the weight is still here.

I just wear many layers and baggy clothes. I think I'm actually a size 8 (us) but I wear 12-14. I wear thermals all the time because I'm always cold too. You could also try protein shakes or powder to add some calories.

Thank you! Both good ideas. High calorie when I can get it down and layers sound like a good place to start.

Honestly just start mainlining high calorie delivery foods like Olive garden, pan pizzas, etc. Uber eats and doordash are expensive and those aren't the healthiest but if you are really going to be gone in 3 months what does it matter?

With the coupons that are always available in the dominos app you can get a pan pizza which is over 2000 calories for like 10 bucks, with delivery and tip even you can probably get it for less than like $18 or pick it up and save

Good point. I've been very conscious of spending money right now, but if you look there are some really good deals out there. Keeping it high cal when I can keep it down needs to happen. And yeah, long term effects are not an issue for me.
