She thought too highly of herself

She always cancelled plans by saying she was too sick . . .

Even if you don't have diabetes yet (and I pray you don't ever have it) go to http://www.diabetes.org/ which is the site for American Diabetes Association. Then go under Food and Fitness. It will help you a lot. Their suggestions about healthy eating and exercising are great for all of us . . . with or without diabetes. I…

One more thing . . . if your blood sugar is a concern for your doctor, you have to be extremely cautious about your exercise. Someone with diabetes, or close to having diabetes, should never exercise without having eaten carbs first. The right carbs will help steady your blood sugar so you don't have a low blood sugar…

I have diabetes and my blood sugars are well controlled with my 3 month A1C at 5.3 always. If you don't know what that means, it simply says my diabetes is controlled remarkably. Okay, all that to say this. Everyone here will have different advice for you and although some may be good, I've already read some that I would…

I haven't found that to be the norm. Occasionally, maybe. But usually the boneless, skinless chicken thighs I get are quite alright!. Do remember though, that the dark meat always has more fat even when you don't see the extra fat. However, that is also accounted for in the MFP nutritional information you get when you add…

My calorie limit is what my doctor and I decided on and admittedly it is less than what MFP would give me. I use it as a guide but I don't go over it. Also, I NEVER eat the added calories that my exercise gives me. I do the exercises to burn off some of what I am eating daily. I just like it that way for me.

Feliz Navidad . . . one year at work they played it several times a day . . . no, I think it was a hundred times a day for two months. I just can't stand it!

It is not uncommon for a person to gain weight while on Zoloft so don't blame yourself so harshly. I am on Buspar and it works really, really well. Weight gain is not a side effect, thank God! And as one other person replied, I feel much better about myself. I must add though, that at times when I really feel good, I just…

It isn't always easy to reach out but I'm glad you did! Welcome and believe me, we all need support and encouragement.

I wanted to mention something else. My daughter is the one who suggested MFP to me. Although she also uses another program she still uses MFP. She lost over 100 pounds a few years back. When she had only lost a little of half, she got involved with Zumba and lost the rest. Now she is a Certified Zumba instructor. For her,…

Well I certainly have been through it. For me, the first thing I had to do was forgive myself and stop thinking about what I had gained back. Instead, I just see today as today. I don't see it as tomorrow or as yesterday. Each day is "today". Don't beat yourself up anymore, or you will forget who you are. Today, do what…

A friend asked me to go with her and get a Blizzard at Dairy Queen so I said yes. On the way there I thought, "In 20 minutes, all I will have left of the Blizzard is the memory and since I already remember how good they are, I don't think I'll get one." I got a diet coke, instead. What I'm really saying is that it takes a…

I think we worry because we want the result that we have planned out in our head. The more I worry, though, the less I am able to do what I have to do and still enjoy life. It's going to happen . . . if we just simply do what is best for us today and stop looking ahead so far into the future. Do today what needs to be done…

Well, as you can see, there are as many answers as there are people. That does not mean that some of these answers are wrong, though. It really is a matter of finding what works best for you and then finding the discipline to follow through. For me it is the discipline. I'm on MyFitnessPal because without a daily diary or…

May I suggest that before you try anything, learn to not be so hard on yourself. Your self-condemnation (just like mine or anyone's) leads to further frustration and eating. What you are going through is normal, but a change in how you think about yourself will help tremendously in being able to take the next step. You did…

My initial withdrawals were quite difficult, but I'm a sleep eater. I have been for over 30 years but I have found that if I have a small bedtime snack which includes both a carbohydrate and a protein then I don't eat in the night. I don't always have the snack but it helps me when I do. And then I also don't awaken…

I make a lot of my own recipes and use the recipe builder as earlnabby also suggested. I carefully measure whatever ingredient I am using and when the dish is completed, I measure out how many servings there are (according to the size of the serving I want). I use a code for the first name of all of my recipes and I don't…

Like you, I couldn't find nutritional information for this burger on the Buffalo Wild Wings website. So I did a search using the phrase "nutritional information Mediterranean Turkey Burger" and came up with a number of websites that list such a burger. They may not be quite the same, but perhaps if you look at several you…

There are many reasons why one may not "hit the gym", as you put it. I personally have a very serious heart condition that prohibits my exercising. I was even discharged from cardiac rehab because the stress was too great for my heart. All calculators (including the one suggested by JossFit) calculate my caloric intake TOO…
