- Eat less processed and pre-packaged food - Stopped drinking - unless it is wine or sugar-free alcohol - Have personal trainer and work out 5 times/week regularly - Eat out less than 3 times a week (huge money saving tips esp. if you live in SFO) - Now I have more workout clothes than regular clothes...

My suggestions are (based on many years of reading and trial and error), take what works for you: 1. Stop restricting yourself - however if you have already been doing so for a substantial period of time (thinking over 6 months), even if you start trying to eat normally without restriction, it will take a LONG time (we are…

thumbs up for this one - however be aware that it takes a LONG time to revert to normal eating even if you stop restricting yourself. Expect weight gain and many many months to come.

I really appreciate your input - thanks so much. You folks are amazingly.

Thank you so much Sharon. I guess I always thought that when it happens, it will happen quick and fast. But maybe I will have to come to terms with the fact that it will be a life long process. I am horrified just with the thought of that.

Thanks for this! I think I have grown out of the stressed eater phase (I was before definitely) and not I am more like a boredom eater. When I overeat my productivity level goes down the drain. I feel like I am wasting too much of my life on food...

Thanks for the insight! I do think keeping myself busy is THE best way to go! It is just that I am very home bound working on my marketing thesis and looking for a job that gives me too much time by myself...I have signed up with a few volunteer opportunities and also going to networking events (sometimes this stresses me…

Thank you so much for saying this. I know too well what yoyoing is like. For 30 years of my life all I remembered was hiding in my room and devouring a storage box of food, that was my safe place when no one was there for me. I guess I am attached because food is always there for me, no one else. I actually enjoyed working…

Thank you! I was able to do that in the first 1.5 months and I thought everything is finally back to normal. I didn't have to try too hard to keep a good caloric balance and was still able to eat a little bit of what I like. Now it is like i am a completely different person when it comes to food. I don't know what I need…

Sorry guys but what's Open diaries??? Is that an app?

cornbread. I used to devour them thinking it is healthy because it is corn! Until I looked at the label one day and I was literally shocked. They are pretty much the same calorie as chips. The thing is I can't eat more than 2 servings of chips before I get sick of the greasy taste but I can have a pound of corn bread…

I want to join! Exactly the motivation I need! I have been pretty relaxing about eating healthy and my weight has been fluctuating because I can't stop eating croissants! CW: 64kg WL: 1kg GW for Feb 2017: 54kg Will come back Nd post result!
