I'm feeling discouraged

I don't know why it's so hard for me to lose weight. I watch my calories and walk for 20 minutes every day.

This is an example of what I've been eating every day for the past year.

Brunch

Smoothie

1/2 cup fat-free milk
5.3 oz sugar-free yogurt: 90 calories
Handful of spinach
Handful of blueberries
Handful of almonds

Dinner

A protein (usually meat)
Vegetable side
Potato, rice, or pasta side

Evening snack

20 pistachios
Stick of cheese

How large are the servings? Nuts are fattening too you know? Just because it’s natural doesn't mean it’s nonfattening

I used to want to be slim but now have just accepted that I'm a larger person .. maybe one can slim down maybe not but I've seen some fat happy people.. personality is more important and yours is fine imo

@YoMomma I watch my portion sizes.

I just counted out 20 pistachios for my nightly snack, lol.

@MsSwan you could probably lose weight just by cutting nuts out of your diet.. just have them occasionally not every day 😳

MsSwan

@YoMomma I eat them for the protein. 20 pistachios have the same amount of calories as an egg.

@MsSwan oh are you vegan?

MsSwan

@YoMomma No, sometimes I have a hard-boiled egg as a snack.

@MsSwan if you really want the nuts, have them at 3pm and only have about 10
