Where'd my thirst go?
So I was doing really good for about 3 days of getting my 64oz of water a day. Now it seems like I have a hard time getting in 32oz. For some reason I am just not thirsty.

Extreme cravings & portion control
I have always had a hard time with emotional & not emotional eating. I eat when I'm happy, I eat when I'm sad, everything is celebrated with eating whether its good or bad. I know I'm like this because of the way I was raised and the fact that both my parents are over 300lbs each doesn't help matters either. I feel great…

Skinny gals who complain about being fat!
Does it drive anyone else crazy when their skinny friends complain about how fat they are? I know we all have body image issues, but how do they think it makes the person across from them feel? I have struggled with being overweight (legitimately by medical definitions) for about ten years and have to work everyday to keep…

blyeah, what have I done???
I was so happy this morning when I weighed myself & saw that I had dropped a pound. For some reason at lunch though, I just felt rebellious and mean, and I waltzed past the salads and sensible foods, and said "Meh!" to them. Instead, I ate a 4-pack Reese's peanut butter cup thingy, a snack-sized bag of potato chips, and a…

90% diet, 10% exercise rule?
Do you tend to go by this? What's the research behind it? The thing is that I've been sick on and off for a few weeks now, and DH has pneumonia. So, between those two things, I haven't had much exercising going on (like I usually like to do). Would it be okay to just watch my food a little more closely until I can exercise…

Conflicting information...
