I always come back to this post, it is a great reminder to be reasonable with urself.

Wow thats low!

About 4 years ago I went on the shot and gained over 30 lbs in the first 3 months!!! My doctor was shocked and really worried so we switched to the pill but I want to get off it because I do feel like it was easier to lose before being on it. I've also now been on it for 4 years and never lost that 30lbs I initially…

Thanks for all the responses

Wow! That is awesome that yoga helped your friend. I know of others who have cut the habit without treatment.

Oh I have a gigantic bag of dried dates I've been trying to find a use for! Thanks

I have the same dessert habit! Trying not feed the monkey anymore

That is terribly sad. I can't imagine it getting to that point... I have seen similar shows where they have small kids and still their will is too weak to stop eating the junk stuff in so much excess and get healthy. I just dont want to be like that. My aunt weighs 450+ lbs and doesnt leave her house really and I just dont…

Funny you should say that I actually live directly across the street from a bog, so yes I have had them "straight from the bog".

Yes definitely trying to stay away from pre-packaged items now.

Thanks for your point of veiw! I'm hoping my numbers will change along with the scale!

Haha I think a little better? Not perfect. I've lowered to a tsp of sugar in my coffee with unsweetened almond milk, I put lime and cilantro and avocado for a dressing instead of balsamic or something. I bought more veggies and prepped some last night to eat instead of eating so many bananas or granola junk bars and I…

Oh jeeze! Power to you! Thanks for the tip.

Thanks for your help! These kind of responses are more of what I was hoping for.

Also agreeing, I think that in college we learned that there are different routes of addiction, mental and physical... and I think behavioral, and an addiction can have one or more features. Someone correct me if I'm wrongo.

I think physical withdrawals are different from addiction itself. Like how people get headaches etc from not having coffee. Their technically not addicted to the coffee but their body has adjusted to having that level of caffiene constant. Although sugar is in no way comparable to heroin or hard drugs I do think food can…

Haha straight and to the point. Thanks

Now thats disturbing.

Haha good one

Thanks for your point of veiw!

Not cat. Haha

Hahahaha i hear ya. Thanks for your input.

Thanks!

As I have been recently paying more attention to my sugar I noticed... like you with the cranberries, what the heck is the point of adding sugar to dried fruit?! Why do they do that to us. I might try your sugar reset. Someone else suggested a 30 day similar plan.

Eeep! :( Yes this is definitely something i need to work on as well

Thats interesting!

Thanks! To the last statement yes everything sucks! I'm 5' 187lbs my blood pressure is creeping up and I already have a superficial clot in my leg that is incredibly annoying. Not sure about insulin but diabetes and heart disease run in my family. Overall I I think lowering sugar would benefit my current predicament as I…

Thanks for your suggestions. That is helpful!

I'll look into whole30. I do think I will try try going black coffee. I'm down to two teaspoons from 4 tablespoons. I'm working on learning what to food prep.
