I too am a chip addict. I love salty and crunchy. I could eat a family size bag in a sitting too! Heck, I could eat the bag on the way home from the grocery store! I rarely ever buy chips nowadays, and when I do it's always those small, single serving bags like you find in vending machines. I prefer to snack on nuts,…

I have found that losing weight is mostly mental. When you get stressed or upset, it's pretty easy to mindlessly snack on chips or scoop up ice cream. You haven't realized it, but you're soothing yourself by eating. I am the same way! Try to find other ways to "soothe" yourself. A cup of tea, some chewing gum, a walk, a…

I used to make so many excuses. I even made the excuse, "If I lose weight I'll be bony and then my cats won't lay on me"! What a ridiculous excuse! But I think the hardest "excuse" was thinking that by losing weight, I'd have to admit to myself how unhealthy and fat I had gotten. I didn't want to look in the mirror and…

The first thing I changed was my breakfast. My breakfast used to be, I swear to god this is true, two chocolate poptarts and a whole bunch of peanut butter crackers. Absolutely disgusting, no nutrition, and I'd be starving two hours later. After trying some different cereals and yogurts (I'm a vegetarian and can't stand…

I love my breakfast. My folks got me a Nutribullet for Christmas, and I use it every morning to make a smoothie. A couple of ice cubes, a generous cup of kale, frozen fruit (berries, mango, pineapple, peaches, whatever I want), walnuts or almonds, Greek yogurt, a scoop of protein powder, and a banana. Makes a thick shake…

There were three separate incidents that happened to me that finally encouraged me to get serious about weight loss: 1. I visited an amusement park with my family and was too fat to ride any roller coasters. I LOVE thrill rides and was so embarrassed and let down that I couldn't enjoy the rides 2. My mom, who has Type 2…

I totally understand how you feel Opalle. For many years I've been the heaviest person in my workplace, and it is embarrassing. Now I work in a larger office with several other heavier people, but I find I'm constantly sizing them up, wondering how much they weigh and what size they wear and how I look compared to them.…

Rainbowbow, I have never heard that term before! Thank you, I will do some research on it.

Need2Exercise, I have not seen a doctor about this issue since. I do regularly see the dentist and my OBGYN but obviously they aren't a help for that issue. I haven't tried to pursue it because I got such a run around. My pediatrician sent me to a specialist at the capital, who drew blood but didn't have much else to say,…

Need2Exercise, it was one endocrinologist. And yes, he used the term "whale." Jgnatca, it's interesting you mention growth spurt, because I'm also quite short--just 5' tall, and I've been that height since maybe sixth grade. The pediatrician kept saying I'd hit a growth spurt but never did, I just got heavier from bad…
