week 2 doldrums
closing in on the end of the second week and i'm struggling. Life seems to make it much easier to fall back on poor habits than to battle through creating new ones. First week was a great success, but i've actually couple pounds back on. Wishing will power and determination grew on trees. Must get over this hump to be…

Today's montra
"One bad choice doesn't doom you to bad health, it's the repetitive choices that shape our future, be it good or bad!" This is just my reminder to myself that I didn't gain this weight because I ate one bad meal or had one lazy day on the couch. It was those repetitive BAD habits that made me gain weight. I'm working on…

My silly motivation. Warning: disturbing image, lol
I saw this in a thrift shop, it's simple, but right now it's TOO small, way actually, the fabric is stretchy so I can fit into it, funny fact, I ripped it doing this. LOL. That's sort of ironic. For some reason this dress motivates me to keep going. I'd never wear it out because it shows my arm flab, even if it was my…

Lunch Catastrophe... almost
I knew that I had a business luncheon schedule today at a local hotel. I planned ahead and limited my calorie intake this morning, knowing that the back scrod and vegetables would likely have some "extras" in them. I also had made up my mind that I would refuse dessert since they typically serve chocolate cake with heavy…

Oh I SUCK!!!
I have just been struggling so bad for the last few weeks. I normally have such good sense about myself when I'm trying to lose weight. I have just lost my focus. I know what I want but my 'emotional eating' gets the best of me. Stress, boredom, tiredness, all those things just make me want to EAT. I know I shouldn't and I…

Thyroid problem
I have really been having trouble losing weight and several other problems. I have been doing a lot of research and I honestly believe that it is my thyroid. Since at the time I do not have any medical insurance I was wondering if anyone knows a vitamin or any natural things that I can take to help.

patience....
It's been about a week for me, and so far it's been going well. Not great, but well. My problem is that I feel like I am feeling a bit inpatient. I feel like I can't wait for the day to be almost over, so that I can get closer to my goal, or I feel like this one week of paying attention to what I eat and exercising has…

Attitude Quote
Hi Everyone- I saw this quote on someone's profile and I really like it. So I just wanted to share! Have a good day!!!! :) "The longer I live, the more I realize the impact of attitude on life.

Think I forgot What Feeling Satisfied Feels Like
Just finished dinner and I'm still fighting the urge to eat more. If I think about it, I'm not really hungry anymore-I'm satisfied, but I still want to eat more. It makes me realize that if I did eat more I would feel full and I know that's not healthy. It's all about habits, and I guess eating past satisfied is one of my…

addiction
Yesterday I caved and had a HUGE cheeseburger from McDonald's. It was weird, it was like I HAD to have it. I actually made a special trip to get it. And once I had eaten that I completely ruined my whole day with other bad for me foods. I think food for me is an addiction. And now I'm going to look at it like that.…

After weeks of gloom, the sun is out shining brightly here in Northern California. Fog just isn't my thing. I'll take just about anything but fog, except wind.

Fighting the demons
I am 3 days in to eating better and I am very excited about it and feel better already. The problem is those little doubts that sneak into your head. One minute you are confident that you can do this and the next you think "I can't keep this up," "I should just quit now b/c I won't be able to stick to it." etc. Does anyone…

Can't Wait To Be Under My Calorie Goal
I have gone over my calories just about every time I've logged them lately. Usually it's after dinner that bombs me, or I have too big of a breakfast and it throws the whole day off. I am determined to go under or hit my calorie goal from now on. If I'm tempted to binge after dinner, I will just leave the kitchen and go…
