I doubt they care so much about their insurance bonus . Which is why I ' m wondering if , at some point , the insurance company says Yeah , no , we ' re not going to insure any more cars for you . Then again , if they ' re rich , I ' m guessing the insurance company probably doesn ' t want to lose them as a client . <| sep |> In the last year or so on here I am learning this . You are very right . When I first arrived about four years ago I thought it was a good news source . I since learned it is not . <| sep |> Thanks so much ! I actually don ' t calorie count , which I know is usually instrumental to weight loss . It worked for the first 15 lbs , but now that I have an even smaller margin of error , it looks like I am going to have to start in order to lose the last 10 ish ! I eat a vegan diet , but that alone didn ' t help me lose weight until I started cutting out things I would tend to substitute for healthier meals and thus eat way too much of , like highly processed bread , pasta , chips and other junk food my vice ! I stopped buying those things altogether and now only very , very rarely eat them . I eat mostly veggies , smoothies with almondschia seedsno sugary fruit juice surprisingly and satisfyingly filling , fruit for snacks in between meals , quinoabrown rice , and TONS of beans and legumes . After gaining over 10 lbs last year , I realized how much I had begun to make a habit out of eating past fullness and when I was bored instead of hungry . Now , I consciously ask myself if I ' m hungry . If yes , I eat a meal . If it ' s just a craving , I try to drink water or eat a little fruit . I am cognizant of my portion sizes and after eating , I force myself to sit for roughly 20 minutes to allow my brain to catch up with my stomach and register that I ' m full . I ' m a student , so I walk a lot . I try to exercise at the gym mostly cardio 23 times a week , but that doesn ' t always happen if I fail to make time . Weight loss has definitely slowed down now that I ' m at this weight , so it ' s a little more up and down . I ' ve also experienced those days of eating too much and being disheartened when looking at the scale , but I try to remind myself it ' s not linear . And we ' re learning a valuable skill in selfcontrol and discipline . And learning something does not come without its mistakes and setbacks . Also , check out the Happy Scale app . Makes you feel much more motivated and excited about your weight loss because it displays more of a trend rather than just whether you went up or down . Good luck !
