I'm an introvert. I just don't like people. I especially don't like crowds of people. At one time I was an overweight bloated mess. I worked my ass off and started studying weight loss and lost 80lbs. I got my Personal Trainer Certification but it turns out, I still just don't like people. I don't know how to "train" or "teach" people. I learn by reading, writing, and doing. Right now, I'm starting to drop weight again. This is about the third time I've gained weight back and lost it. I never gained the full 80 lbs back because I also lift weights alot so I gained muscle too. It's just really easy to put the fat back on when you can't afford an amazing diet. I hear all these people " Just eat right! Eat organic, grassfed, less carbs, blah blah blah." Great. But have you tried to afford that diet while dealing with a family of four? What kind of job do you have? I know myself and lots of other average americans who work 8-10 hours a day can barely afford their bills, still eat well, and have the ENERGY to exercise 3+ days a week. Eating just becomes a necessity, rather than a goal or lifestyle. It's more like, " Can I afford this and is it convenient?" rather than, " Gee I hope this is a healthy choice."

Like you, im not much of a people person. Especially crowds. I try and will continue to try but will always have the "yeah its fun but id rather be home" kind of feeling. Ive been doing my best with losing weight as its always been one of my hardest struggles. Ive looked into eating organic but youre right, its expensive, but when theres a family you have to support it isnt worth not paying your bills just to eat organic. Im at a point that i am bored with food. I just havent been able to find anyway to not get bored with it lol

I never get bored with food myself. although I could not be one of those "Mealprepper" people. Ridiculous. Eating the same crap every day? I mix it up and go with what I'm feeling but stay within my boundaries. I can't eat anything with Milk, but I can eat cheese because the process cheese goes through changes the proteins. So I have to read tons of labels. I refuse to eat rice because of how it destroys 5-alpha reductase in men and that is go-to for most people on diet. My choices are limited but I make the best of what I can find. My suggestion: SOUP. You can never go wrong with a good bone-broth soup or stew as long as you change the carbs in it from pastas and an alternative thickener other than flour or corn starch.
