The freedom not to eat
Since I started MFP about 6 weeks ago, I have noticed something interesting. I have the freedom not to eat. Before I would agonize over what to eat and what not to eat, justifying my food choices when I succumbed and feeling deprived when I decided to turn something down. I've been able to let that go now, and the freedom…

What's up with my measurements?
Since starting MFP, I have lost a liitle over an inch in my waist which: yay! However, I have lost nothing on my hips. I have a pear shaped body type, with full hips and thick, muscular thighs, so I don't expect to change that (and can't, its what nature gave me). But nothing? What gives? I am POSITIVE that I'm measuring…

Frustrations
I know weight loss is not always an easy thing, otherwise none of us would be here. It takes hard work and patience, but this week it seems to not be working. I have worked out 5 days this week, which included 90 min of cardio everyday, and tracking my calories everyday with exception of yesterday. I get on the scale this…

Weighing 101??
Ok so I bought my very first scales! I would always just weigh at Mom's whenever we were there. One of my kids discovered one day that you can get on and off her scales and every time it will give a different reading. We laughed it off as being moms old cheap scales. Well I just bought a not so cheap weight tracker scales…

Honesty
Honesty... I am trying to be honest with myself. I have a food addiction problem. Its hard to admit that.

There was nothing to eat, so I made an excuse to leave. I went to the…

Is 1600 calories enough?
Ok, I know that since I'm alloted aroudn 1600 calories per day that means that they've already subtracted the 400 calories necessary to drop in order to lose 2 lbs a week. That, added with some exercise means I'll lose the weight. But my questions is... is 1600 calories enough to keep my metabolism going strong?? Everyone…

Eating healthy / exercise on transatlantic flight
This time next week I'll be flying from London to Chicago (and then back the week after). I've done so well over the last few weeks with lots of exercise and healthy eating and I'm worried that 9 hours of boredom on a flight is going to push me backwards. I'm flying on my own and its during the day time so I'm unlikely to…

BE CONGRUENT.
Be congruent. Is there a difference between what you say you want and what you do? For example, do you say you want to maintain your weight, but then spend your afternoon snacking? Being congruent involves aligning your desires with your actions. It's hard, and it is not a skill you can master over night. Congruency is a…

Weight vs. Looks (post-pregnancy)
So the scale says I'm 3 pounds to pre-baby weight..... but I do NOT look it!!!! It's really frustrating to work so hard to reach that specific goal (from 180 back to 160) and to not have the body you thought you were going to have!!! I wonder how much more weight I'll have to lose just to LOOK like the weight I was before…
