  • Hugs. Life can be difficult at times and some days all we can do is take it minute by minute. The advice about the calories is a good one - I had to go to another site to compute how many calories per day I should be eating based on my weight and weight loss goals. Another idea I have, that has helped me in the past, is to…

  • Blankiefinder has some great ideas. Stick with it! Sometimes it comes off slow and it is hard to not see your results on the scale. Try to focus on some positives - perhaps your clothes are fitting better from all your exercise? Are you having fewer cravings? Good luck! Rosemarie
    in Hi all~any advice? Comment by lovefridays April 2015
  • Try to focus on your progress - before you started, would you have even thought about "an off day"? If you are eating less than you previously did, tracking it, and making better choices consider yourself successful! One of the most difficult things to do is to form a healthy relationship with food. Rosemarie

  • "HAES is about focusing on behaviors, not size. This means that healthy eating, exercise, etc, are encouraged, but that the focus is on behaviors, not on size. Which is why I'm focusing my efforts on what I'm doing differently, not on a scale." Thank you for starting this thread! As someone who has struggled with body…
    in Body positive/health at any size support group Comment by lovefridays April 2015
  • Perhaps warning her about the changes in you is best. I would speak about it in terms of health, such as "I was having knee pain and was so winded when I went up stairs I got scared". Or whatever your particular story is. Speaking interns of health really neutralizes the topic. Also, speak about your weight loss using "I…
    in How do I deal with this? Comment by lovefridays April 2015
  • Hi! You can do this! I try to put a positive spin on things. So, in the past would you have ordered your own burger and fries or have eaten more than you did today? If you did better today than in the past, that is a victory!! You also have to remember that treating yourself occassionally is okay and to work it into your…
