  • I'm almost 60 years old and just realizing how much food I eat for comfort. I eat when I'm bored, happy, sad, depressed, anxious, overwhelmed, or just plain ole bored! I've also realized that I am a sugar addict and I'm tempted every day to feed that monster within me! for the last 6-8 months I have been trying to contain…

I have a…
  • i am having trouble with getting my protein in and is usually less than 65/day; if i try get more protein in, then my calories are too high 1200-1500/day! so what is everyone eating to keep their calories down but keep the protein up?
  • my sugar addiction reared it ugly head again last 2 days... yesterday was my grandson's 1st birthday, so of course, we bought a cake for him; my son served me a small sliver of the cake yesterday and i did fine with that, that is, until last night when i found the leftover cake in my refrigerator; i knew i wouldn't be…

  • i caved in to my emotional eating yesterday! but i saw iced honey buns as soon as i stepped into walmart and craved them the whole time i was shopping, so i willingly went back to the display and grapped up, not one, but 2 of them!! only 50cents each so, in my stinking thinking, what a bargain! what was the emotion…

  • Sara_Olson_421 and Sumner100Christ_follower you can friend me, as I know exactly where you are coming from!! having a healthy lifestyle 100% of the time is an impossibility for me too! i have never had the problem of bulimia but exactly the opposite, gluttony. I am a sugar addict and binge eat on any that may be in the…
  • i'll soon be faced with empty nest syndrome and have been thinking about some things that i can do to keep myself busy and happy too (besides eating) i love scrap booking and have lots of pages to complete on my sports--minded son, plus i want to get more exercise in, so i'm gonna make me some type of schedule for daily…
  • <3 after reading these posts, i think my emotional eating is binge eating on sweets that are available! Like that plate of brownies: i would have eaten the whole bunch of them and it would have made me very happy for only a moment, then quilt and shame would have set in! My kids brought home 2 boxes of ice cream about a…
