Beginning Again...

Good Morning Friends,

After a trying and stressful few years I've found that I've picked up nearly 30 pounds. Stress really does cause us not only to put on weight because of the hormonal imbalance it seems, but also causes us to care less about what we put into our bodies for nourishment. So here I am, beginning again. I've used MFP in the past but have never been beyond the diary page. I thought perhaps a little encouragement might help this time around.

Thanks in advance...

Marg B.

    Have a great day!

    Same here. Stress can REALLY make you gain. And boy have i had the stress. I have always just used this app as a food diary, and not very good at that. But today I decided to check out the posts on here and maybe find others using this liked me "again".

    Thanks for the request MsDeeHawk12. I've added two friends...yay!

    And homegurl I know exactly how you feel. For me keeping a close eye on what I'm consuming is the only way to lose. Otherwise I have a tendency to really go for it. If junk food had the calories and nutrition of broccoli, I'd be set. But alas, today is a new day! My goal is to be 35 pounds down by the end of the year. By the fall, prefereably. It's my favorite season and I don't want to feel then the way I do now. Not to mention, my closet full of clothes is hanging there mocking me.

    Between broccoli and celery I would be set with you hahaha. Just can't get that celery to crunch quite like a potato chip

    Ha! That is so very true homegurl. We can do this though. A good comfortable pair of jeans feels so much better than a potato chip...at least most of the time ;).
