It has happened!! :)
I had a realization this morning. Food is not my focus and not my priority anymore. Yes, I do plan it out and figure out what I am going to have. I plan recipes, etc. But, I don't constantly think about food or my next meal like I used to. I sometimes even forget to eat or get wrapped up in something else and will grab…

WHAT TRIGGERS YOUR BINGES?
If we can see them coming, or know specifically what those triggers are, perhaps we can avoid them. Or is this wishful thinking. So far, the only binges I have had since April 16th are seeing CAKE and EATING it. If I'm not around cake, I seem to do fine. Oh yeah, potato chips..... If I start, I can't stop..... guess I…

How to get out of this mind set??
Ok I started trying to get healthy on September 1st. I weighed 273lbs and I began the Weight Watchers Points System. Well I didn't like it because I was ready to make changes for good, and I didn't want to do a "diet" that allowed me to still have the bad things (even though they are high in points). I didn't lose anything…

I'm so embarrassed . . .
Two days this week, I've eaten almost 3000 calories. No day this week has been really great. I haven't met my exercise goal yet and I feel like crap.

My small accomplishment
I keep telling myself I need to cut out alcohol, especially beer. I know that I feel and look better when I don't drink it, and that it's just poison. But then when I'm in a social function, I forget about all of that and say "I'll have one"... which turns into two, then three. Last night I was playing poker with friends,…

I worked out, tracked every single thing that was put into my mouth, drank my water, and had 27 calories left over. But the scale shows I gained 2 pounds from this morning. Is that normal? How much does everyone…

I am just ready to cry.... My back is SO sore!! :o ( And it's not my fault, it's not cos of all the running or the gym work that I've been doing, it's from all the crazy strength exercises we did in Taekwon-Do on Monday night. Ok, maybe the fact that I pushed myself so hard is partly my fault, but still I didn't choose to…
