    Not sleeping well, craving chocolate, not being able to control your eating. These things all go together and are not just coincedence. If you have vitamin and mineral deficiences, and/or hormonal imbalances, I don't care how much will power you have, it will let you down eventually. The key to losing weight and staying at a healthy weight is not being tough or strong but getting healthy. Chocolate cravings and trouble sleeping could be an adrenal problem, or estrogen dominance could be causing a deficiency of magnesium. A deficiency of magnesium will cause chocolate cravings. One symptom of having estrogen dominace is having difficult periods.

    THANK YOU!! I am going to start with magnesium today.

    Thanks for all your answers/comments. I had been writing my food down for months (this summer) and then got away from it. I wrote all the time and was not losing weight and someone told me I was thinking to much about this and thats why I wasn't losing. So I quit writing and just tried doing it that way. Well here I am again going to log my food.

    According to my doctor, the lack of sleep I experience is due to sleep apnea which is whack since I've never slept more than 5 hours since I was born. But I'd check it out. Reading your post sure does sound like me too. I cure my chocolate cravings by always having fun size chocolate in the house. ONE fun sized treat stops the binging on full size bars...or even a small serving of chocolate chips. Dark chocolate is best to satisfy the cravings and can be beneficial as well.

    I've been doing very well on maintaining slightly under 1200 cal a day yet NO weight loss. I don't have the heart ability to do 30 minutes of cardio a day, sheesh I'm lucky to be able to take the dog for a walk. It's just we have to keep PLUGGING along, Keep trying, Don't stop....it will pay off it's just going to take longer for us.

    Keep trying

    It's simple. If you really WANT to lose weight, you are going to find a way to keep your calorie intake to a healthy and sustainable level.

    Anyone can workout for an hour. Controlling what goes in your mouth the other 23 hours is the real hard work.




    my thoughts exactly!!!
