1000lbs Best Friends made me a bit motivated.

The TV show is opening my eyes. I never thought it would do that but now I am slowly adjusting my life and my habits.

1000 lbs Best Friends is the show I am currently watching. It’s actually an eye-opener for me. I know I am big and overweight, and I have been working on it but this show actually shows me tips and tricks on new ideas and life choices. 

(I’m writing this for me but heeeey boo! Thanks for reading. I hope you are having an amazing day)

In one episode I have watched, they have visited a fitness center where they had kickboxing and boxing. I have been interested in that for a long time, and seeing how much fun they had, them sharing their problems, etc., makes me actually want to look into it. Instead of just going on walks and photowalks. I want to do something else.

I went to the gym before, and I went there pretty much every day, but I had to quit because it was causing more problems mentally, and I couldn’t go there. So the gym is off the radar right now, but maybe later.

I have started to write a “food diary.” I have been against it my entire life. I thought it was ridiculous, but honestly, I need to, just to see, for example, which time of the day is worse, what I eat, etc. This time I’m going to try. Yeah, I know I talk a lot about weight loss, etc., but I have been struggling my entire life with weight problems (PCOS, genes, etc.).

Food diary ● look up boxing or some kind of workout activity ● Find a therapist to talk about my problems ● Work on my bulimia ● Work on my diabetes

So as you see, it’s a lot to do but I’m going to try.


Sunlight yet minus degrees Celsius outside

Sunlight, cold-biting cheeks and .. Just breathing

Today I have actually been out for a walk. I needed to get out of the home and clear my mind. So much is going on in my head and you all know me. photos is always taken!

Even when the sun was out and shone so beautifully, it was freaking cold. Now the winter is coming. They have already warned about snow—I am NOT ready for that!

My walk was just approximately 30 minutes; I wasn’t dressed properly, but at least I was out. Windy and biting feelings on my cheeks. Now I actually have a headache after the cold on my forehead. I forgot my headband—well, I didn’t think/know that I needed it. From now on I will use it.


Today’s dinner

Swedish sausage stroganoff with rice with vegetables,  boiled carrots, button mushrooms and onions.


Grocery shopping

I have also been to the store and bought all bran flakes, müsli, bananas, yogurt, etc. Just to keep up my “healthy” breakfast & before-bedtime snack—Turkish or Greek natural yogurt with muesli. I do need to buy frozen fruits, though, instead of using a bit of strawberry jam to get some flavor.


QUESTION..

Do you wish for recipes i try on my weightloss journey? Or do you have any recipes?

My recipes will not contain eggs & seafood . I don’t eat that

Meal prep tips for successful weight loss

Meal prepping is a game-changer for weight loss because it helps you control portions, avoid unhealthy choices, and save time. Here are some top meal prep tips to set you up for success:

Plan Your Meals Ahead
Decide your meals for the week before shopping.


Include a balance of lean protein, healthy fats, and complex carbs.

Batch Cook Staples
Cook large portions of basics like brown rice, quinoa, grilled chicken, and roasted veggies.

Store in airtight containers for easy mixing and matching.

Use Portion-Controlled Containers
Invest in containers that help you measure servings.

This helps avoid overeating and keeps meals consistent.

Prep Ingredients Separately
Chop veggies, cook grains, and proteins separately.

This gives flexibility to combine different meals throughout the week.

Keep Snacks Ready
Portion out nuts, cut fruit, or veggie sticks for quick, healthy snacks.

Choose Recipes That Reheat Well
Soups, stews, casseroles, and stir-fries are great for make-ahead meals.

Avoid foods that get soggy or lose texture quickly.

Mix It Up
Use different spices and sauces to keep meals interesting.

Variety helps you stick to your plan longer.

8. Label and Date Your Meals
This helps track freshness and avoid food waste.

9. Don’t Forget Breakfast
Prepare overnight oats, smoothie packs, or egg muffins for quick, healthy starts.

10. Be Realistic
Start small—maybe prep for 2-3 days at a time if a whole week feels overwhelming.
