My husband asks me the same thing. I always say YES, I can eat that. But I'm choosing not too. I would rather have ____________, but thank you for asking.
And losing 30 pounds in a month is not uncommon if the starting weight is high. At my highest, I was close to 300. In the first month, (this was when I was on Weight Watchers), I lost close to 25. It's not unhealty unless it keeps coming off really fast. Please make sure you are getting good foods with lost of vitamins, proteins, etc. That is very important.
Best wishes to you on your journey!0 -

My embarrassing confession: A couple summers ago I signed up to do Mud Hero and was really excited for it. About 15 minutes in, my stomach started churning. I'm not sure if it was a flu bug, or food poisoning, but the rest of the run (walk) was agonizing. I had to keep stopping to rest because I was afraid something was going to come out, and I didn't know through which end. There were no bathrooms along the course and no way to get any privacy along the way, so I had to finish. I did make it through the showers after, and then had to bee-line for the portapotties. Let's just say that by the time I got there, I'm not sure it was just mud on my shorts anymore

I have never told anyone about the time I almost, possibly, probably **** my pants at Mud Hero

IMO, as long as you are telling your girls that your goal is to Get Healthy, make Healthier Choices, and Be More Active (and not put the emphasis on being THIN or losing weight), you are setting a much better example for them than if you were to continue down the previous path. If nothing else and you continue to feel like your issues with food are having negative impacts on them, maybe make an appointment with a Dietitian and/or Psychologist. It might be good for you to get to the root of your food issues anyway, plus you can learn ways to help your girls have a healthy body image.
Best of luck on your lifestyle changes

Confession. My father died last October to cancer and it sucks. Well my friend dad was recently given the all clear and I was happy and very jealous at the same time. I felt horrible for being that angry.
Agree with others, don't feel bad about that. I lost my dad in August 2013 to cancer as well and sometimes it's still hard to be around people and their dads or even to talk about it. Sometimes it's like "Why did it have to be my father to go, why mine out of everyone's?" It doesn't make you a bad person, it just makes you one that misses your dad and that's completely natural. *cyber hugs* I know it doesn't seem like it now but the pain/ache does subside a little after awhile. You never stop missing them or wishing they were around but it gets easier to remember all the good times without it hurting so daggone much.

Good to know I'm not alone in this. I guess I was lucky that it was a mud run so it wasn't obvious lol

I secretly get happy when I see a friend or foe gain weight. I'm an awful person.0

if you almost ate it back then you are still in a defect. Even if you ate all of it back, it is still a wash.
It was really close, like within 10 calories haha. And I did all that work earlier, you'd think if I had to have two helpings of something it would be something healthier.
