Glanced at your journal. Where's the Veggies? Where's the Fruit? Where's the Milk or milk substitute? It's not about eating more right this minute. You should start with eating right and then eating more when your body is nourished. How can you expect to be healthy if you are trying to suppress your appetite instead of nourish your body?

I think i got a lot of GREAT information. Thank you everyone for your information and advice. I did not realize how few vegetables and I was eating and zero fruit. along with that, I want to say thankyou for not bashing me and helping me in my weight loss. I look forward to many many pounds shed espically with this kind of support. I can not thank you enough. I have had blood work done to find out about my thyroid and possibly being diabetic. also going to show my doc my food journal so that she can take a look at it as well. I go back to the doc on Sept 10th and will update you with the results. I plan on going shopping tomorrow to increase my fresh fruit and vegetable supply. Thank you again.
