This is the change in my body composition over 5 weeks. This is a bit of a vulnerable post for me as I definitely struggle with body image issues. But I know we’re all in this together, and for a lot of the same reasons. So I’m sharing for my own accountability and to show you guys that it’s not easy, but it is possible. We can do hard things!

I was successfully shedding weight with a basic gym program and controlling my eating before I discovered the "MOB". I found the simplicity of Matts recipes and posts interesting and wanted to ramp it up a bit. After my orientation Zoom and having my macros set up in MFP I found myself shoving food in my mouth at the end of the day to reach my 300g of Carbs. Clearly overeating and hitting my 123g of Protein too easily everyday. Everything I've watched in the Classroom contradicts these numbers. I should be protien heavy. Today I received my "meal plan" and the macros are entirely different than what was set up in MFP confirming I have been overeating for a week. I have tried messaging on IG and responding to our text chain only to get no response. How do we get in touch with people that can answer questions? It seems like everything has become a one way conversation of automated messages since I signed up last Monday.

Helped get my grad student through her departmental seminar with excellent reviews. ☺️ It’s been a tough road and it was very rewarding to see her acknowledged by the department.
