Don't tempt fate. [/quote] Dont tell me what I can or cannot do :)

OMG OP used the word healthy! Quick get the word police in here to let us all know AGAIN that there is no such thing as healthy or unhealthy foods lol Seriously though, if control is your problem abistirling as it is a problem for many including myself, binge eating disorder if you want to put a label on it, for me…

Yes with the occasional treat so I dont go crazy. These 2 people are amazing. Not only have they lost weight, they have turned around their health from at risk (prediabetic) to no longer at risk. I follow this plus exercise: http://www.nzsugarfree.co.nz/ and if you have time to watch this doco if you wish to:…

So simple. I like simple. Thank you Xavier. I will do this :)

Thank you all! and meganridenour I am going to purchase me a small indoor BBQ to make my own burgers, these 1000 calorie burgers from BK dont leave a lot of room for the rest of the day lol

oh I agree Eileen, I didnt think it was wrong, I was just shocked at how many calories in one (huge) burger :)

Oh dear, judging yourself and beating yourself up for being human will not help you to say the least. We all have setbacks. What led me to fail every single time was this all or nothing idea and if I didn't eat like a perfect angel one time, I wld think bad o myself and give up altogether. Don't ever give up, aim for…

I wish I could have my oatmeal w brown sugar and runny cream which is my absolute favourite yum

Hey great advice yarwell thank you! I will get me a blood glucose meter tomorrow :) I now wonder why my doctor hasn't suggested I do this already.

You've got to pick an exercise you like. This is a list of sports ... do any appeal to you? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_sports [/quote] Thank you Machka9 and I had a look at your list and yes! I used to play squash and loved it. Also badminton. Hey, now that you mention it, I might even return to these sports :)…

I've had a love affair with bread since I was a kid. I try really hard to leave it in the store but I buy it for my family. This is my number one problem bread/[/quote] Me too. This is my problem too as I also love bread. I have Vogels now (wholegrain) but my 1st love is white bread. Especially warm from the bakery w…

We must be kind to ourselves when this happens. I ate a whole packet of shortbread the other day, I lost control but dam I enjoyed them they were so yum yum yummy with my glass of milk. Changing how we eat is not all or nothing. It is not black and white, its a grey area in the middle. Hey good on you for returning to the…

Oh and for control over my binge eating, I practice meditation and mindful eating

Protein, a tub of yoghurt is enough for me to satisfy hunger so I can have a good sleep

Thankyou Katz I will definitely try ur Korean beef

First, while researching, ive read how healthy coconut oil is and all its benefits etc, then Dr Sam Shay advised me to take 1 tsp of coco oil every hour but I didn't feel comfortable with that as my cholesterol is high and I'm at risk for heart disease. Then I see my GP who gives me a pamphlet that says "coco oil is a…

Hey welcome and please try not to think too far in the future. For myself, thinking this way (and I always have in the past) is too discouraging. My dietician advised "think 5kg at a time" (or in your case can change that to 5 pound) and set smaller goals instead of looking at the big picture and thinking OMG will I ever…

LOL about the minions

You have done amazingly well dennis and good on you for making the lifestyle change. We all have foods that we love. I have a thing about roast pork dinners with crackling of course and cake I love love looooooooove my cake! especially red velvet, but for health reasons I have to cut down. Still have my food luxuries, just…

yes please! Im definitely in

Hi Erica, thanks for your OP and best of luck to you too but as you know, not all of this is luck. To achieve weight loss takes self discipline and dedication, well for me it does anyway :)

Yes please! Add me if you want to :)

In answer to your questions. How do I manage it? I make it my daily pledge. A pledge is a promise that I cant break, no matter how hard it gets. You say you get super hungry - ask yourself these questions - how hungry are you? Is it real stomach hunger or emotional hunger or are your taste buds hungry for something you…

Thank you Sonny for your encouraging message :)

Yes please add me! I am totally committed as of right now

Stir fries are great! I didnt force my kids to eat veges, I gave them a choice and if a certain veg eg boiled carrots made them gag, I would then make something more "child friendly" like carrot salad w raisins, walnuts, shredded lettuce, a little mayo mixed in for taste. They grew to love these foods which they at first…

lol - didnt you know Rockstar that some people actually enjoy argument or debate? It is like a competition called "who sounds the most intelligent will win"

I am prediabetic trying to prevent T2D. I limit my bread but find it almost impossible to stop bread completely so I think I would fail at being totally carb free. I just cant do it! A sandwich is so quick to make, convenient and filling. The good news is along with regular exercise, I have stopped consuming cakes,…

I practice mindful eating which can be harder to achieve when I'm out at a restaurant but still very doable :) http://zenhabits.net/travel-social-eating/ and I dont log my meals at restaurants or when I'm out because if I drink wine, I cant remember everything I ate anyway lol. I think it is more important to feel free and…
