I never thought of that. I always tried the one hand push, which is hard to do sometimes.

I wish my only worry about my body was a double chin

I have been there and done that a few times. Sometimes I just get tired of eating junk and I stop. The dead stop for me is when my weight gets close to the high of my range of where I want to stay. I have also found that after a while all the good food is not so good if I am eating it all the time and too much of it.

You can do whatever you want. It is your diary for your benefit. If it makes you feel better then do it. You do not need to ask permission on how to use your diary. No one knows if you eat or do not eat what is in your diary.

I have a very severe case of lymphedema in both legs. The doctors have been running tests to see where the blockage is. Basically I have been told that my only solution is plastic surgery. My doctor referred me to a physical therapist. I do not think they knew what to do. After my initial evaluation they kept giving me the…

I actually do try to make healthier choices 80% of the time, but I have to have dessert every night. This weekend we went to Golden Corral for Father's Day. I had fried fish, hushpuppies, fried popcorn shrimp, fried shrimp, steak, macaroni and cheese, and sampled many desserts. I know I over did it, but it was worth it.

I cannot eat a mushy tomato and it grosses me out to see people eat a whole tomato like it is an apple. I wont eat cherry tomatoes, dont want to bite into it. I dont like avocado but I like guacamole.

I will admit that I have never weighed a tortilla or a piece of bread. I may have weighed crackers once or twice because I wanted to see if I could eat a few more crackers. If I have a big bag of chips I weigh out a serving. If it is a preportioned bag of chips I do not weigh. I do not weigh the milk I put in my coffee or…

I actually get ravenous the week before and the week of I barely want to eat anything. I pretty much go with if I am hungry then I eat.

I think that is me, but I would not call that petty at all.

i also suffer from depression and anxiety. I do not take meds, but I have been in therapy off and on for many years. Exercising for me is a great form of therapy. I always feel better after I have exercised because I know i have accomplished something. I have lost about 200 lbs, but I do not really feel a sense of…

I do not binge at night but i like to have snacks at night. I pretty much eat very small mini meals during the day so that I have the calories to have snacks at night. Every night I have greek yogurt with a banana mixed in and protein powder, air popped popcorn, and whatever dessert I have the calories. Recently I have…

I started at 500 lbs at age 45. My advice is find a plan that works for you and stick to it. You are not going to lose weight every week, but just know that if you are on a good plan that you will lose the weight.

I do not know if this will help, but I would say that not looking at dieting as dieting, but changing the way you eat might help. I always took the approach of watching what I eat. In the very beginning, there were foods that I did not eat. Now I am learning a healthy approach to food. It is just food and it does not…

I pull the meat off the bone and weigh it. If I eat it on the bone I just guesstimate. I really only eat whole pieces of chicken away from home. At home I weigh the meat off the bone, then eat it. Weird I guess. And no I do not eat the bone, I eat the meat.

I agree that it depends on what works best for you. I did not even start with a goal. I just took it day by day. I just knew I had to lose weight. 200 lbs later, that is what worked for me.

I have not done extensive research on intuitive eating, but is it not basically eating when you are hungry and not eating when you are not hungry.

Even the mini bars are 80-100 calories.

Sweet potato fries are good. I have tried jicama chips they are good also.

You can always google the product and see the label online if you do not have it.

Unless there is a medical reason, I would not equate not liking vegetables to having depression. I do suffer from anxiety and depression and it truly pisses me off when people tell me that I do not have to be depressed. I think other posts were just trying to be helpful by giving ideas of ways to get veggies in a day. I am…

I was on the Halo Top kick for a while, but the price is outrageous to me. I recently bought Dreyer's slow churned butter pecan and I loved it. Last week I bought strawberry from Breyers and it tastes like nothing. I do not need a lot of ice cream in a serving so while I have not gone all out on the regular ice cream yet,…

I have to weigh once a week. It keeps me on track. None of my clothes are so tight that I can tell if I have gained weight. Once a week does not bother me, but once a day makes me wacky.

I am still plus size, but there is a tremendous difference in price between a 5x and a 1x. I was so happy when I could go to Ross and find tops for $10 and less. I went a little crazy when I first loss some weight. Now I have clothes that are too big since I lost more weight. I have been selling my brand new larger clothes…

I have not gotten to the point yet. I am afraid that I will not be able to get back up

I actually had someone ask if I had scars from the surgery. I said huh, what surgery?

I feel you. I was telling somebody a while ago that the only thing I miss is my breasts and my face being fuller.

I do not really have thoughts either way. I just think how uncomfortable they must be, no matter how happy they may appear. I also admire those that boldly live their lives, no matter what size they are.

I have had a few people give me skirts. I only wear long skirts to cover my legs. Some times when I am lazy and do not care I wear my too big clothing and I wonder if people think I cannot afford clothes in my size.

I found it quite interesting. I have heard a couple of my coworkers say they soak rice before cooking it to get some of the starch out, but I had not heard of this. I does not seem difficult to me. I cook my rice with olive oil, but only to replace butter. I wonder if it has to be coconut oil. I do not eat rice a lot, but…
