DIVORCE!
My husband recently asked for a divorce. I moved out a couple weeks ago and it has been really hard to stay with my calories. some days I don't want to eat anything and other days I eat way to much. Of course I'm feeling emotional. but does anyone have any tips on staying good during times of stress? Thanks so much.

Everyone's Encouragements!
I just want to say thank you to everyone who encourages me, and everyone who encourages others! When I was doing MFP alone, I didn't really care about my updates, the message boards, or how successful anyone else was. Now that I decided to add friends and keep up with other people, I love when my weight loss updates,…

Find the courage and resolve to discover yourself. Find out what makes you tick. Find out how you sabotage yourself and why. Learn what really motivates you. Seeking…

new desk job making me fat(ter)!
I have been on here for a while, trying to lose 20 lbs. Since starting a new 40hr/wk desk job I have GAINED about 7 so now I'm trying to lose 27!

So I haven't been logging into Myfitness for awhile. After my California trip (which is why I joined to begin with) I couldn't find another reason to start again.

Looking for Friends
If you were to look me up and read all of my previous posts, you would find similar words to those I am about to type. I come and go on here.

Caffeine Crutch?!?
Watching my log with loyalty never before seen, I'm noticing mine, and my friend's commitment to coffee/soda/tea. How simple would it be to shed the caffeine habit? What difference that would make in my metabolic function? I consistently exercise, I am always under my calorie goal, I am not pregnant. Not losing weight and…

Mind Game?
I have been sitting reading all the other posts and looking at how much each person has lost. As I am reading and getting encouraged with each one my mind is saying "why can't I lose 10 lbs, or I wish I could have lost 15lbs. I wish I could look different. I am getting discouraged at times but keep on doing what I have…

So disheartening for those of us VERY overweight :(
I know I have a long way to go, but sometimes it gets SOOOO discouraging when I see other posts like this, or hear my friends/family say things like this: *Ohmygosh I'm 10 pounds overweight! My life is OVER. I'm such a pig! *I weighed XXX pounds today and I'm 5'10! I hate myself/my body. *I was such a pig when I weighed…

I never meant to get this big... how did this happen?
Another year, the first day of summer, and me sitting here thinking, "this is the biggest I've ever been". Every year I think, well this is the last year that I'm ever going to be this big...then a year later comes along, and I'm bigger than before... I wish I could pin point what makes me feed into the food madness, but…

2 thumbs up for the "Losing it With Jillian Micheals Show
Well I just finished up the rest of the Losing it with Jillian Show and it was good. What I like about the show is she attempts to get to the root of the over eating. I have always felt on The Biggest Loser that she is better of digging down deeper than the physical. She knows it is some mental issues that causes the over…

Avoid temptation.
Avoid temptation. If a cookie is sitting on your counter at home, you are more likely to eat it than if the cookie is in your pantry (or in the store). Despite the simplicity of this idea, many keep tempting foods in plain sight and try to convince themselves they won't eat it--but then they do. If you really want to have…
