Pain & Inactivity
I'm dealing with a new challenge for me. I am typically fairly active, practicing martial arts and walking about 5-7 hours per week. I hurt my knee pretty badly and I imagine I will have to stop all of that for a few weeks while I heal. I am also in a lot of pain. My brain wants to eat the pain and boredom away. How do I…

protein
Getting my eating under control is going pretty good so far. I've never been a big meat eater, but now that I'm trying to incorporate healthier foods into my meals, what's a way for me to get my protein without meat? I can do some fish or chicken but not a big fan of too much more.

at it again
I've been down this road a million times before, and when people really started noticing the weight loss I have an ex who thought I was cheating on him because I was losing weight. So I quit trying. But after breast cancer 10 years ago I did try to lose the weight and I got the same accusations. That time he was right and…

He shows no support
I feel so unsupported. My husband does not support my choice to get healthy and in shape. He will buy junk and eat in front of me, will refuse to pick me up a drink unless it's pop, and gets annoyed when I take my evening walks. Now he's refusing to watch our kids while I go to an aerobics class. Our youngest son can't be…

birthday party
This weekend we have a birthday party to attend for my boyfriend's granddaughter. She loves softball so the theme is of course softball. The food is going to be concession stand foods. Being with them all I tend to overeat anyway, but those are foods I love. Any suggestions on how to deal with this and what to eat?

Lapband plus bipolar meds
Hi all, I'm in an unusual situation...I got a Lapband a few years ago and have lost very little. The big problem is I'm on meds for bipolar type 2 that vastly increases my appetite, plus a lot of emotional eating when I'm alone and lonely. I eat small meals during the day but at night I pig out on things that go right…

Donuts, really?
In-laws came to spend the night - it's been a few weeks since they saw me last. They're really supportive of my weight loss, but then MIL and my wife started to say how easy it is for guys to lose with minimal effort while girls have to work at it. then proceeded to order pizza for dinner (I had a slice and wings) and root…

Hospitality industry=over eating
I'm sorrounded by yummy and delicious food all day long. After a long day of dealing with upset guests, I take refuge in eating a cookie or two. It's not ideal but I try to keep myself busy with work and away from the kitchen. Anyone know of better ways to deal with stress from work? Am I the only one that gets a warm…

UGH!!!
I hate it when my day constitutes all these frustrations; then, all I want to do is go out and get something yummy to satisfy the emotion. I know I should look for other things to take that feeling away, but its really hard to get away from doing what you have always done to reverse this emotional eating habit. I have…

rough couple of days
Sometimes life and work get in the way of plans for exercise and working out. I had a rough couple of days and that took a toll mentally. I didn't overeat because of it although I did sneak a couple late night snacks which was something I was trying to get away from. I didn't feel like exercising either. Kinda just vege…

Trying to kick this bad habit once and for all
I have always had an unhealthy relationship with food and I just feel like I am at my breaking point. I can remember the first time my weight came up was in 1st grade when my parents encouraged our siblings and I to be more active. Every year since then I have repeatedly claimed that I was going to lose the weight whether…

I Connected Experiencing Emotions to Wanting To Eat
I'm having some frustration on a project at work and for the first time since I started this diet...this is day 4. I physically wanted to just go eat. Like cake or cookies or ice cream or chips or fried food. This surprised me because I rarely connect feelings I'm having driving me to eat as a stress reliever. I've always…

In need of ideas
I'm really glad I found this group today as this is a constant problem for me. I work from home for 10-12 hours straight and have a HIGH stress job. It used to be that I'd have a smoke a few times a day to keep myself from eating all of the time. But I quit smoking, which meant I started drinking more. But man does that…

Overeaters Anonymous?
has anybody tried this group? I do a lot of mindless eating especially late at night when I am not hungry. It drives me a bit crazy. I feel like I'm in a trance when I do it. If I could get a "lock" on this kind of eating I am sure I would lose a great deal of weight. Any other ideas on this too?

Breaking Up is Hard to Do

So…
