keeping in check over the holidays
I was worried I wouldn't be able to do well over the holidays. My mom cooks amazing things and I want to eat them all! I decided that I just wanted to make sure I wouldn't gain any weight, and if I didn't loose any, it would be ok. I also started running stairs before I came home so that I could have some sort of work out…

Can I finally succeed for just one day?
I can't even remember the last time I didn't go over on my calories. I always tend to sabotage myself by the end of the day. But this morning I read the thread about binge eating, sent it to my husband, we talked about it and the signs that indicate that I'm heading in that direction, and we decided to work together. So,…

A little bit of a wake up call
Earlier this year I had lost 20 lbs and I've gained 32 since then and lately I've just been feeling really down about the whole thing. None of my clothes fit me anymore and I just feel really... unattractive. I think that because of this, I started dressing really bad, just jeans and a big baggy sweatshirt - EVERY DAY... I…

Ugh, feeling fat
Question: If I'm staying well within my "no exercise" calorie allotment, but haven't been exercising, can I gain weight? I feel despondent and fat today. It's been raining nonstop and freezing cold, and the only way to get to my gym is to walk. I know, I could watch an exercise video, but my dorm is tiny and I've been busy…

Finding it hard to stay within calories
Ugh, I've been going over my calories almost every day for the past couple of days. I still go to the gym and work hard, but I feel like its not justified if I'm eating junk food.

My boobs were never big before, never anything to write home about, but now I feel downright...unfeminine. My husband says he doesn't care, but I care, you know? Boobs are the…

So I went over my calories...
but I think it was for a good reason. My boyfriend and I had a squabble over the phone at work (seems to be happening a lot lately, darn house hunting stress). I was cooled off by the time I got home and he told me to go in the kitchen. He had done all the dishes and baked some sugar cookies and with icing wrote, I'm sorry…
