Since my biggest issue is with sweets (candy/chocolate), my phrase will be: "My body works hard for me so it is only right that I treat it with good sweets of fruits". I've been doing well (in my book) since Sunday. Last night was a little tough because I was mentally stressed with the day and was still in thinking mode.…

gtg2015 what are you thinking about? For me, there is usually an emotion tied to undesirable eating. Perhaps to sit with a paper and pencil, write down what you're thinking/feeling and then ask yourself if you're really hungry or want to eat because of the thoughts. Then go outside and run/walk down your driveway or…

Aliza, thanks for the yoga info - it's nice to hear that maybe I could get rid of some of the "ouchies" in my body. Re: the binge: maybe try waking up every morning and say a phrase to yourself about food and portion. Make it positive but also a reminder. Before you eat your meals, repeat that phrase, then eat.

Have you heard of dietdoctor.com? Interesting stuff and I have a different perspective (once again) on food and eating. It's amazing how you can see…

Aliza: I'm 5'9-1/2" (gotta get that 1/2" in there, lol) and closer to 51 than 50 I agree with you; if you feel good and you look good to yourself, then it's all good. You sound so much like me on the eating scenario especially the not seeing it in black and white. You already know it's the wrong thing to be doing and to…

So I haven't logged in to MFP in several days but I'm here now reading your posts. It's early morning and I got off the chair to get a cup of freshly brewed coffee and my kitty stole the chair! Of course she looks so darn cute that I can't move her so I went and got my stability ball to sit on and it's actually the right…

Hi gals, I joined on a recommendation. I will try to go back and read some of the posts over the days ahead.
