    Have you been at this for awhile or are you just starting? What are your goals other than to continue to be healthy. I am trying to lose weight and eat healthier. I do a lot of stress eating and emotional eating. I read this quite the other day "Unsuccessful people make decisions based on their current situation. Successful people make decisions based on where they want to be." That helped me think about my choice to eat for the wrong reasons. Do I want to be a stressed out, emotional person? Or a smart, strong, successful person. I still don't always make the right choices, but I am making mor3e of them. Do you have a favorite quote?

    I have been on this struggle for about 5 years. I can go doing all the right stuff for a long time and than something just happens and I go down hill.
    I have a ton of food allergies, gluten, dairy, soy and believe that not having some of those things can just trigger.
    I always try to remember "keep looking at the past it will be your future, look to far ahead you will miss the gift that you have right now at this moment" I struggle with that sometimes.

    I have a gluten allergy as well and it's tough - and even more so when you have additional food allergies like dairy, soy, etc. I think individuals like us tend to be very restrictive with our eating habits because obviously we have to be and I find that being restrictive makes me frustrated and sends me on binges every so often. Then I get even more frustrated and don't pay attention to my diet (ie may eat gluten/wheat in minimal amounts despite knowing that it does to my body).

    If you'd like to connect and discuss some goals we could focus on together I would love that. I just weighed myself this morning and am back in the 150 lb range. While I don't want to focus solely on my weight and more just about clothes fitting, my first goal is to get to 145 lbs.

    I belong to a small accountability group on facebook where we are required to post a pic of at least 2 healthy meals as well as an end of day post stating if you were in your calories, did you get your work out in, drink your water, hit your step goal, did you have a good day, did you struggle etc. Its very supportive and for me, it keeps me accountable and on track. Feel free to add me on MFP and if you think you could meet the requirements of the group daily let me know and I will have you added to the group. B)

    Hello everyone, I just want to start by saying thank you all for your interest. I want to make sure that we all help one another. I know that we all have our own lives and at times can get very hectic. Sometimes when that happens in my life I tend to forget the important people and thinks in my life. I find all of you important. I have no support system outside of this group at the moment such as family or friends. I am not sure how this works for us to all stay motivated. I know that I need lots of reminders in staying positive not just in my fitness life but in general life. That will help me stay motivated in all aspects of life.
    I value all of you if any of you need anything or need someone to just vent please feel free to contact me at anewfaith2015@yahoo.com. I also want you all to know that I am a believer and know that without the Lord in my life many things would be completely different for me. If that bothers anyone I am sorry, I don't want anyone to feel uncomfortable at all. I will keep you all in my prayers each and every day. I hope that we all will be able to succeed in our daily and lifelong goals.
    Thanks
    Christy (Beatitude2015)
