Hit dollar tree yesterday, and confirmed again there is nothing to run to the dollar tree for.

I was looking for fall wreaths because somehow a fall wreath wormed 🪱 it's way into my brain 🧠

I did get some basic snacks with built in portion control and tried to avoid all high calorie items. Got some mini bags of pretzels, sf chocolates and pea crisps. They may not be a "good deal" but I have portion distortion, so it helps. Buying a big bag of anything doesn't same me money if I eat the whole bag in one sitting.

And extra scissors, I am ways losing my damn scissors.

✨💗 Tumblr Re-Set 💗✨

Good afternoon Tumblr! I am re-setting my blog as I have not been using it as often. It will still be featuring the same content regarding meals, weight loss and general health (as I am someone with PCOS, hypothyroidism, level 2 ASD & mental health issues). I am actually looking at posting more regularly on here and have also put up a side blog to post about one of my main hobbies (gardening) @gardeningistheehobby so if any of my mutuals are into gardening I will also be posting regularly on there as well.

So, as a part of my Tumblr re-set I want to dot-point some upcoming events going on in life for me that I will be posting about.

• DBT program interview 30/7

• NDIS Planning Appointment (not dated as I was told "in upcoming weeks")

•  Psych appointments 12+13/8

• Baby shower 17/8 (I have never attended a baby shower before and I am very anxious about it!)

I know that these may seem small and it is not a great deal in quantity but, I am taking baby steps. I hope that everyone is doing well and looking after themselves during this time. :)

38 POUNDS OF FAT! (2024 Resolution) It Is Still A Win! I Stayed at 260 for 3 Months! #newyear #2024 My 2024 Resolution was to get down to 250 or lower from 300/almost 300 when I weighed myself for my goal. Lost 38 pounds in 2024, through diet, portion control, and working out. It is still a win because From September 26th, 2024 to December 30t,h 2024 I maintained my weight at 260 pounds. (Even though I ATE SO MUCH FOOD AND JUNK from Halloween all the way to the end of December!) So it is a win, to be honest.

✨💗 Meals As Of Late 💗✨

Some of the meals I've had recently, I've been really enjoying the cauliflower steaks and have added it to my weekly roster (and when I can't, it's something with roasted cauliflower) so if anyone has any recommendations on that front, let me know! I find them so filling and tasty! Beyond that there's been a lot of repetition (with the ASD) in meals but I've been working on it. I've been hoping to eat more in the morning since I've started studying but, I haven't gotten down a set routine yet. I've been struggling with the heat though. I'll have to update everyone soon as I've been stressed and actively trying to sort out the small things for my partner and I's wedding in October. So, lots going on. I will definitely have some new posts soon!

Meals shown:

• tri plate breakfasts with K-Roo kangaroo & bush tomato sausages (2), two fruits in juice (peach and pear), sliced cucumber and carrot in balsamic vinegar with salt reduced tomato sauce.

• tri plate dinner of turkey and vegetable stir-fry with two fruits in juice (peach and pear).

• standard dinner of oven baked cauliflower steaks (spaghetti bolognese and garlic bread flavoured, red sauce and cheese, garlic butter, onion, cheese and breadcrumbs).

• breakfast of honey porridge with raspberries and a cup of milo (with benefiber added).

• small dinner of two lemon fish fillets, cauliflower leaf and carrot salad with balsamic dressing and creamy tomato pasta (small dinner as it's on a bread and butter plate).

The Link Between Healthy Eating and Weight Loss

The relationship between healthy eating and weight loss is undeniable.

When you prioritize nutritious food choices, you not only nourish your body but also pave the way for successful weight management. Let's explore the link between healthy eating and weight loss and how adopting a wholesome diet can positively impact your journey towards a healthier weight.

Boosting Metabolism: Healthy eating plays a crucial role in boosting your metabolism. Certain foods, such as lean proteins, whole grains, and foods rich in fiber, require more energy for digestion, resulting in a higher metabolic rate. By incorporating these foods into your diet, you can help your body burn calories more efficiently.

Curbing Appetite: One of the key benefits of healthy eating is its ability to curb your appetite. Nutrient-dense foods, such as fruits, vegetables, and lean proteins, provide satiety and help you feel full for longer periods. This can prevent overeating and unnecessary snacking, leading to a calorie deficit and subsequent weight loss.

Balancing Macronutrients: A healthy eating plan emphasizes the balance of macronutrients - protein, carbohydrates, and fats. Including adequate protein in your meals can help preserve lean muscle mass during weight loss and promote a feeling of fullness. Incorporating complex carbohydrates and healthy fats provides sustained energy and helps regulate blood sugar levels, preventing cravings and overeating.

Portion Control: Healthy eating involves practicing portion control, which is essential for weight management. By understanding appropriate portion sizes and listening to your body's hunger and fullness cues, you can prevent excessive calorie intake and promote a healthy calorie deficit necessary for weight loss.

Long-Term Sustainability: Unlike fad diets that promise quick weight loss but often lead to regain, healthy eating focuses on long-term sustainability. By adopting a balanced and nutritious diet, you establish healthy eating habits that can be maintained over time, ensuring the weight loss achieved is sustainable.

Supporting Overall Health: In addition to weight loss, healthy eating promotes overall health and well-being. By consuming a variety of nutrient-dense foods, you provide your body with essential vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants, supporting optimal functioning of organs and systems.

Enhancing Physical Activity: Healthy eating goes hand in hand with regular physical activity. When you nourish your body with nutritious foods, you provide the fuel it needs for optimal performance during exercise. This can enhance your fitness levels, calorie burn, and weight loss efforts.

Adopting healthy eating habits is a key component of achieving and maintaining weight loss. By focusing on nourishing your body with nutrient-dense foods, practicing portion control, and embracing a sustainable approach, you can create a healthy eating plan that supports your weight loss goals.

Portion Control Diet: A Simple Strategy for Sustainable Weight Loss

In the world of weight loss and healthy eating, the phrase “portion control” gets tossed around a lot. But what exactly is a portion control diet, and why is it so effective?

If you're looking for a realistic, flexible, and non-restrictive way to manage your weight and improve your health, portion control might be the key you've been missing.

What Is a Portion Control Diet?

A portion control diet is a nutritional approach that focuses on eating the right amounts of food—not necessarily eliminating your favorite dishes. Instead of counting every calorie or cutting out entire food groups, portion control encourages mindful eating and moderation.

In simple terms, it’s about learning how much to eat, not just what to eat.

Why Portion Control Works

Portion control is effective because it:

Prevents overeating

Helps regulate calorie intake

Encourages mindful eating habits

Allows for a balanced and varied diet

Is easier to sustain long-term compared to restrictive diets

Most people don’t acknowledge how much they’re actually consuming. Restaurant portions, oversized snacks, and eating straight from packages all contribute to unconscious overeating. Portion control helps bring awareness and balance back to your plate.

Portion Size vs. Serving Size

It's necessary to understand the difference between portion size and serving size:

Serving size is a standardized amount set by nutrition labels or dietary guidelines (e.g., 1 cup of rice).

Portion size is how much you actually eat, which can be more or less than a normal serving.

The goal of a portion control diet is to align your portion size more closely with healthy serving sizes, while still satisfying hunger.

Benefits of Portion Control

1. Supports Weight Loss

By managing how much you eat, you naturally consume fewer calories without feeling deprived.

2. Improves Digestion

Smaller, balanced meals are more comfortable for your body to digest and absorb.

3. Promotes Healthy Blood Sugar Levels

Controlling portions—especially of carbs—helps prevent spikes and crashes in blood sugar.

4. Reduces Food Waste

Eating only what you need cuts down on leftovers and waste.

5. Increases Mindfulness

Portion control encourages you to eat more slowly and consciously, which can improve your relationship with food.

Practical Portion Control Tips

Ready to get started? Here are some easy and influential portion control techniques:

 1. Use Your Hand as a Guide

Protein = Palm of your hand

Carbs = Cupped hand

Vegetables = Two fists

Fats = Thumb

 2. Use Smaller Plates and Bowls

Studies show that people naturally eat less when using smaller dishware.

3. Eat Mindfully

Slow down, chew totally, and avoid distractions like phones or TV while eating.

4. Pre-Portion Snacks

Instead of eating from large bags or containers, portion out snacks into small bowls or containers.

5. Don’t Skip Meals

Skipping meals can lead to overeating later. Stick to a regular eating schedule.

6. Fill Half Your Plate with Vegetables

They’re low in calories, high in nutrients, and help you sense full.

Can You Still Eat Your Favorite Foods?

Yes! One of the biggest benefits of the portion control diet is flexibility. You don’t require to provide up pizza, burgers, or dessert. Instead, enjoy them in moderation and balance them with healthier choices.

For example:

Instead of three slices of pizza, eat one with a side salad.

Craving ice cream? Have a small scoop in a ramekin instead of a big bowl.

It’s all about balance, not deprivation.

Sample Portion Control Meal Plan

Here’s a quick example of what a day on a portion control diet might look like:

Breakfast:

1 boiled egg

1 slice of whole grain toast

1/2 avocado

A cup of green tea

Lunch:

Grilled chicken (palm size)

1/2 cup brown rice

Steamed broccoli (2 fists)

Snack:

A handful of almonds

An apple

Dinner:

Baked salmon (palm size)

1/2 cup quinoa

Mixed greens salad with olive oil (thumb size)

Dessert (optional):

2 squares of dark chocolate

Portion Control vs. Calorie Counting

While calorie counting can be useful, it often becomes tedious. Portion control is more intuitive and easier to sustain, especially if you're not a fan of food scales or apps.

Rather than obsessing over numbers, you're learning to listen to your body and recognize natural hunger and fullness cues.

Final Thoughts

The portion control diet is a smart, flexible, and sustainable way to take control of your eating habits. It’s not about limitation—it’s about symmetry, awareness, and long-term health.

By learning to control how much you eat (without giving up what you love), you can enjoy food more, feel better, and reach your health goals—one portion at a time.

✨💗 Casual check in 💗✨

I love capsicums so much. I hadn't had them for some time due to the cost but, recently one of the nearby supermarkets had them for a decent price! I picked them up and proceeded to eat them in many different meals, including this semi warm salad with Asian BBQ pork, pan fried capsicum and iceberg lettuce 🥗🫑

I've also been eating a lot less meat and have been swimming a few days every week! I've currently got two tattoos and a touch up healing so, I'm looking forward to hitting the gym while I can't swim! 😌💪🏻
