So true. I have loved ones that are the same way. I feel it's like we want to take an easier route

I'm a believer and I find that turning to my higher power when feeling stressed or overwhelmed helps to reduce stress and anxiety, which in turn helps to deal binge eating or stress eating.

So, things started feeling better last week. I had to just not think about the shadey politics. But, then I got accused of stealing at a place I volunteer at and the person in charge searched my bag. :( that was really humiliating. They didn't find anything, but she still acted like she did despite my telling her the…

I would if I could. :(

I'm trying, I really am. I love what I do, and yeah, the stubborn part of me dislikes that no matter how well I do something or how I try to apologize for mistakes made in the past, etc., it doesn't matter. They will still promote someone with less knowledge, experience, and maturity. They really could give less than a…

Yeah, the company I work for has a long history of favoritism and nepotism. They wanted the people they hired for the position and they told them to apply. They often promote the children of older workers, etc. They will not be honest when asked. I had more experience and I managed the particular area the work focused on.…

Thank you. :) I haven't heard from him since Sunday, when he headed out on a trip. Of course I hope he is okay. I guess I just read him not asking to go out again or reply to my mention of going out again as his way of not being interested. Though who knows? It's only been a week and he could be busy. I just have to work…

I think my post got cut off. I don't think I am desperate as I don't go for most guys that claim they are interested in me. I just get maybe too happy when I find someone that I think is rare and that I actually have things in common with, which is super rare in my opinion.

Thank you so much for your kind words and advice, ladies. :) As for the date, we met for coffee, and we ended up talking for like 3.5-4 hours in the cafe, then we walked around and looked at art and graffiti and murals as it is fun and plentiful in the neighborhood we were in. We then found a free comedy show in the same…

Thank you so much, everybody. :) I'm going to try to start cutting back on the sugary drinks first as that is usually the easiest. Yeah, I feel bummed about the guy. I realize I also was intimidated by how cute he is. But I was flattered by how nice he was to me. Very gentlemanly. For me, I know it can take like 30-60lbs.…

This is great advice, pinelopi22 :)

I have been through periods where I actively tracked every single calorie and I've found, as a way of trial and error, that when I go below 1,400 calories then I do tend to lose weight more successfully. I constantly hear others on forums or I use multiple different BMR calculators, and they all assert that I need a higher…

So, after many conversations and plenty of tears (of frustration and disappointment mostly), I am feeling better. It's like my mind does sometimes try to rehash my co-worker's rudeness, but if I try to say where they are wrong or how I feel about their behavior, it will just make me look bad. I am in a situation that I am…

Thank you :) I am very glad I have MFP :)

Thank you so much, everybody! You all are totally right and I don't know why I let myself get worked up like this. I know I should just take the high road, but sometimes it's hard. I'm trying to find something better. :) Being patient is not my strongest quality.

Just for today My goals for today were to: * Pray in the morning, say what I am grateful for * Drink at least 64 oz. of water (I drank 67 so far when including herbal tea and some coffee, not all coffee was included due to the diuretic effect. I use iHydrate app and it calculates the amount of water I retain from different…

I think it is really easy to pass judgment on this people. I do feel sorry for them as I am morbidly obese and I know that when I feel depressed and despondant, I often turn to food for comfort. I think that one has to learn better coping mechanisms, which isn't as easy as some suggest. I think that if a person is unhappy…

Just for today 1. Stop saying negative things 2. Drink @ least 64 oz. of water 3. Get to sleep by 10 pm

Made of goal of prayer in the morning and of stating what I am grateful for. I feel that helped me to feel very positive and calmer throughout the day. I ate dinner right before 6pm and I think I will be able to go to sleep tonight without needing anything else to eat. :)

Well, I did weigh myself, I did think positively, I'm going to go and journal now, and I'm still drinking water towards my goal of 64 oz. :)

Just for today: 1. I will drink 64 oz. of water 2. I will write in my journal 3. I will focus on being more positive (less complaining) 4. I will focus on eating more protein and fruit and veggies Thank you everybody, as I really need help staying accountable :)

Updated J4T goals: 1. Weigh myself 2. Make healthy food for a couple of days 3. Write in journal at least 30 minutes 4. Work on cleaning goals 5. Drink at least 64 oz of water 6. Read 7. Think positively
