How a lifestyle change is like a balance beam...
Many questions are posted on this site about the good, bad, & ugly of changing our habits. And while many of us take different paths to reach our goals, there is an overwhelming consensus that this journey we are all on is for life, not just for bikini season. While that is an amazing attitude, I personally have found the…

Drinking water and the Bathroom
So I've been drinking my 8 glasses a day like I'm supposed to. But OMG!!! I am constantly running to the bathroom to pee. Does it ever end? Will I ever get used to drinking this much?

Totally love my kitchen scale!
I feel better about my eyeballing ability after weighing ingredients today and finding I was under rather than over estimating. Yippee! I wouldn't have bought this scale, but my mom had one tucked into her cabinet and, when I cleaned out her house to use as a rental, there it was: lovely, practically unused, and calling my…

Make healthy decisions based on facts, not feelings.
Make healthy decisions based on facts, not feelings. In 12-step programs there is a saying: "There are only two times to go to a 12-step meeting: when you want to go and when you don't want to go." How can you apply this philosophy to your healthy new lifestyle? Do you think it is a good idea to base what you do (with…

This must mean something
I wrote earlier that I was going to stop using MFP for calorie input, but... I don't know why or HOW I found this.

All or Nothing
I've always heard eating too little is just as damaging as eating too much. But how little is too little? If I'm not really hungry what is a good choice? Has anyone ever heard of eating a piece of fruit at the end of the night to boost your metabolism? I tend to be a bit extreme either way- all or nothing and I'm sure it's…
