Anyway, after wishing this person good luck on their goals etc I got a response that after some…

i admit it. I fell off the bus.
I've not been to MFP in weeks. I've lurked a little on the forum, but I haven't been logging my food, only my VERY occasional exercise. And I'm gaining the weight back. :ohwell: I don't know what happened. I guess I just got lazy and busy at the same time. I'm not gaining a lot, in fact, I don't REALLY know if I'm gaining…

Anybody else an emotional eater?
I've been having a really hard time lately eating clean even for one day. :cry: I start each day with a perfectly clean and satisfying breakfast, which I really enjoy. Usually plain oatmeal with 1 TBS ground flaxseeds, 2 TBS sliced almonds, fresh fruit and either fat free yogurt or milk. Lunch is usually a salad with some…

hungry, cranky and discouraged
I think the title says it all - hungry, cranky and discouraged. I don't mean to be a downer, but I'm hoping I'll feel better if I vent. This is at least the 2nd or 3rd time my ticker has gone in the wrong direction. It's my own fault. I guess I don't want to lose weight enough or be healthy enough to starve or spend every…

Lap Band
:smile: Ok here it goes. 3 years ago I had lap band. I lost 100lbs. Over the past 6 months I gained 30lbs back. I recently had some issues and had saline taken out of my band.

Craving chocolate
Yaa.. the lighter version. I have 15 days in hand, before the engagement party. My scale has just begun to move. I would be well under my calories, if I grab one small chunk. It feels good to get my rings loose and be comfy in what was tight fitting jeans. I don't wanna get it with all my heart, but am not able to…
