Mind over matter
I wasn't feeling well this morning, had a heahache and just overall blah/tiredness. I pondered going home at noon but decided I was feeling a bit better and didn't want to burn any sick time so I stayed. But I decided I wasn't going for my walk today and would either make up for it tomorrow or do a work-out video....which…

a bit discouraged.....
so, i don't need to lose any more weight - i'm more concerned with maintaining my current body shape/weight. but my roomate confided (and by confided i mean yelled at me during a fight) about how she thinks i don't eat and that i'm basically anorexic... which is certainly not the case at all. almost in tears, i explained…

Moms Supporting Moms June 19
Good morning, Girls. Peej, are you feeling better? I thought, being a mother of 5, I had seen it all, but last week I came down with Herpangina..... which I caught from a neighbor who works with special need children in the public school. Painful, contagious, but a virus that will not respond to antibiotics. My children…

a good tip that's helping me!
This little "trick" has really been helping with my motivation and choices around snacks in particular. I enter the food info before I eat it to see how it will effect my day and whether I really want it or I'm just FEELING like eating it. And a nice perk is that if I do choose to eat it, it's already on there and I see my…

I fell off the train... Help me back ON!
I've been discouraged the past two weeks. My marriage is falling apart, I had a terrible episode of plantar faschia(sp?) causing foot pain and swelling... I've been discouraged, depressed and wondered... WHY BOTHER!? I ate cookies, chips galore... you name it. I didn't care. Why am I losing weight anyway, I wondered,…

Do you have before, during and after pics? Show off today!
I'm a visual person. I have avoided the camera for many years. It's so sad. I have 2 beautiful grandsons. 3 and 5. Today 5 year old graduated from preschool. My daughter took our picture and I wasn't repulsed. This is a huge step for me. I'll post my during pics as soon as I get them developed.

Frustrated!
I'm getting so frustrated because I've been doing great being right around 1200 calories for almost 2 weeks and I haven't seen any change on the scale or inchwise. It makes me worried that maybe I'm going into starvation mode or maybe I'm eating too much. What do I do to get the weight coming off again?

I can feel it coming...
Ok I can tell I'm on the verge of a binge. I'm so hungry and it's only 4:20. I had a small snack but that didn't do it. So I've decided to go ahead and eat dinner and hopefully that will do it and I won't be hungry later on. I hope this works. I really don't want to mess things up again!

Today I feel like just giving up!! I have been at this since Febuary.. Yes I have lost weight.... But really it has slowed to almost a stop since April…

Keeping the motivation to Exercise when I am so tired!
Hey Everyone~ I am a few days into week 2 I feel I am doing great with the eating and I was perfect about exercising last week. I went to a few appointments with my husband yesterday so I didn't get to exercise and I haven't wanted to this week at all. I have a 10 1/2 month old who is just about losing her damn mind, not…

For those who like to read!
I just wanted to share a few books that I've read that have helped me with my perspective on food. They aren't about dieting at all, which is what I love the most. But they will definitely open your eyes and make you think differently about the way you eat. Go to the library and check them out. Happy reading! The Omnivores…

Does this make any sense?
Since joining this site about 2 weeks ago, I have really watched what I ate and started excercising. So far I have gained 1/2 lbs. :noway: My goal is around 1200 calories per day but as long as I am under 1500 I consider the day a success. I am trying hard to make those calories count and not just eating empty ones. I am…

Fighting The Urge to Binge... Day 2
so how did everyone do yesterday? i must admit, it was not my best day... but also not my worst. i worked yesterday (waitressing) from 1:00 pm until 10:30 pm. I ate a good breakfast and lunch, and stashed a Gnu cereal bar in my apron for when i started to get hungry around 4 or 5. I ate that, but then there was a tin of…

need suggestions....ruined my entire day
Today for lunch I had a salad with a little tuna for some protein. However, shortly after, I went kind of crazy and ate some chocolate chips mixed with peanuts. The total calories were over 500, which kind of ruined the rest of my day. I have to work until 8 p.m., (here it is already 4:30 p.m.) then make dinner for the…

I'm so unbelievably mad at myself.
So yesterday was boyfriends birthday and so I got him a pecan pie because it's his favorite. I told myself I was going to allow myself to have one little peice... Well, that one little piece turned into 3 little peices and a good chunk of the pie and from what I figure.... 1005 CALORIES. :mad: :mad: :mad: UGH! Why would I…

Help me, I'm a chocolate addict!
I am not joking, I am seriously addicted to chocolate. I have an easier time staying away from cigarettes (used to smoke) than I do chocolate. And it's everywhere! The real kicker came when I started using MFP and noticed that all the chocolate (and general snacking) I eat in a day adds up to a meal (sometimes more). If I…

JULY GOAL CHALLENGE, June 16-22
Well, heck - nobody seems to be around anymore. But it's not July yet, so I still will soldier on! I had a fitness assessment done at the YMCA last week. The results were... interesting. I was very disappointed in my cardio - I know I've improved tremendously, but I'm still only in the 20th percentile of people that the Y…

Feeling like a failure with resolve
Ok, so I don't really know where my motivation goes when I break down. I look in the mirror and am horrified by what I see. I don't hate myself, I don't want to stay in seclusion, but I don't like the way I look (hence me being here lol). I started out well, Zonebar or weight control oatmeal for breakfast, kashi bar or…

quote of the day. . .
Trials, temptations, disappointments -- all these are helps instead of hindrances, if one uses them rightly. They not only test the fibre of a character, but strengthen it. Every conquered temptation represents a new fund of moral energy. Every trial endured and weathered in the right spirit makes a soul nobler and…

1,390 calories OVER?!?!?!
:cry: :cry: :cry: Homemade rhubarb pie. Sounds healthy, what with all the vegetation in its name. Who knew it has 616 calories per slice?? And before I figured this out, I wound up eating 2.5 pieces of it. I suppose it just takes that much sugar in order to get rhubarb to taste good. :sad: Sadly, this isn't really an…

Craving Crisis List
Okay, I'm stealing an idea of AJCM's from another post, and am putting my "CRAVING CRISIS LIST" on my fridge this morning. The rule is, when a craving for something naughty strikes (foodwise, people), I am to turn to the list below and if I complete ALL the steps and if I still want the treat, I will let myself have it. I…

family challenge
So my husband and I made a weight loss challenge competition between us. He's sure he's going to win, and I'm sure I'm going to win. We have witnessed weigh ins every 10 days and the comptetition lasts for a month. Whoever wins gets $100 from the other person. Whoever wins the 10 day weigh ins gets a 2 scoop ice cream…
