I was raised vegan and there will always be a part of me that loves those like, overly fake tasting "cheeses" and veggie meats. I'm vegetarian now (actually pescatarian), but I still dabble with vegan stuff. I really like Daiya brand vegan cheese products. It's the closest I've found to the real deal. They sell the sliced…

Hahahah, you're killing me! But yeah, I'm basically one walking cellulite dimple.

People are so cruel! I would love to be your weight!! My ah-hah moment was at the doctors office recently! I got on the scale and could not believe that I was 250 lbs! I've always been curvy, but this is crazy! My doctor sat down with my and basically said, *kitten* or get off the pot. Haha! Anyway, screw that guy that…

This might sound really silly, but I downloaded a hypnosis app for weight loss. It totally works- I love it!!! It's called "lose weight" and its free in the App Store!!

Hahaha, I agree! It certainly isn't the devil! Diet Dr. Pepper is super yummy.

I also forgot to mention another one of my go-to's- water with lemon!!! Yum!

Yep! Which is why I don't drink it anymore! 7 days soda free! Woohoo!

I had to kick the diet soda :( I was too addicted to it. I found myself craving it first thing, and wanting it all day. I'm a nanny, and my kids would always get in my car and look around and say "jeez Nina, how many diet cokes have you had today?" because there would be an empty can in every cup holder. Additionally, it…

Salsa con queso, yes. I used to go elbows deep in that stuff.

Ugh, I feel ya on the drinking. Booze is such a trigger for me! First it's a beer, then it's Taco Bell delivery (which is a real thing here in San Francisco).

I've heard the same thing for years. Also my husband is a total morning/breakfast person, so he's always trying to convince me to eat it.

Oh, I'll eat salt and vinegar chips until I have sores in my mouth. #binge

Adding you!! I am vegetarian (or so I call it. I still eat dairy and some fish), and have been off and on my entire life!! I cook constantly and would love to share recipes with you!! Xo

Lyssa, great ideas!!! Just what I was looking for! Thanks so much- I'll be trying all of these!

Seriously, same boat. Except I think I skip breakfast more like 99.99999 percent of the time. I ate it today and I feel great. I can really see a difference, just with one day.

I love vegan sausage! I'm vegetarian, so vegan meat of any kind is basically my life blood. Been experimenting with seitan lately... Seriously if you do it right it can taste exactly like bacon.

You sound just like me! Which foods have you found to fend off these cravings?

I am with you 1000% percent! Potato chips are not allowed in my house anymore. Also Mac and cheese.

Marry me.

I also have a vitamix. Total game changer! It's great for making soups as well as smoothies! I also make my own nut milk and nut butters! ❤️❤️❤️

Your breakfast wins!!! I had 2 T of peanut butter, a glass of milk, and an apple.

Excellent ideas!!!!!! Thanks, guys!

Thanks guys! I'm new to this forum so I was unaware of the breakfast threads. I will definitely check them out. I DO want to eat breakfast because I've found that I eat less at night if I eat in the AM. I'm one of those late night snackers- trying to curb that.

Hey Mia! I'm 27 and I just clocked in at 253 pounds. I'm shocked and disappointed in myself as well- but you and I have already accomplished something by getting up this morning and posting in this forum. I'm proud of you for making a change!!! We can do this, girl!!!!
