It really should be to stay alive (healthy and fit) to be around for my now young adult children. Why isn't that enough to stop me from binging? When I lost a lot of weight, it was so much easier for me to walk around and move. So why did I gain 25 lbs? I want the fun and a healthier life. Just not able all the time to put…

Years ago I was walking with my sis and I asked my daughter who was standing behind us - who was bigger. She sheepisly said I was. I thought she was. I have lost 100 lbs. I cannot see really, really see that, yes, I am smaller but even though I can look at pictures of me heavier, and it wasn't that long ago, I can't…

When you are trying your best not to eat something because it will not help with your weight loss, having it constantly placed in front of you or being asked to eat it can be rough. It is kinda like you really do want to eat it but you are choosing and trying not to eat it. But you can be easily swayed by all the pushing.…

I think you food plan is great. Protein, veggies, few fruits, fats, fiber and the zwiebacks. You have everything covered. Best of luck

Hi, Just two days ago someone made these little desserts. I said no thank you. She said there is no sugar in it. I never discussed diets with her so why does she assume that I am on a diet. And when people keep on offering me even though I told them no, that willpower can only last so long. Yes, I too am an all or nothing…

Yes, imagine how hard it was to squeeze into ur clothes or that it didn't fit or to think how great it will be when you lose the weight and all your clothes fit. Yes, like what you wrote above, thanks

I had a doctor visit, first time I went to him, and he told me that I should have surgery and that he knows someone who could do it. Never even asked me about any previous diets, weight loss etc. I think you need to ask him if he suggests again that you have surgery as to why he thinks that. You sound very motivated and…

lol

I just recently decided not to weigh myself (maybe ever). My scale was hidden from me somewhere in the house because it also plays with my mental thoughts and can get me binging. How about using a pair of jeans or a dress that is snug/tight. You can try them on every month and see if they feel better. Then you will have…

Ate a chicken kabob yesterday with veggies and rice, tasty lol

30 minutes drive in 20 minutes? Will show this to the police after you cause an accident because of speeding. SuzySunshine, I am so sorry about your husband.

You are doing great; making better choices. Yay you! For: MIDLOMEL1971 -- So I have that problem you mentioned where you ate 1 "wrong" food and then you go off your plan because you were not perfect. I do not think I think that but I definitely behave like that. I really go off the rails and start binging for days, weeks.…

I had just 50 lbs. more to lose but keep on gaining 20+ lbs. and losing them over and over again. My immediate goal is to be 150 and to see what I look like but have always wanted to be 123 (from the insurance charts 40 years ago).

For me, I do not care for WW's food allowances - with all their "free" foods, you can eat too much of them. I would rather have had a plan that said "eat two fruits, 3 veggies etc. Better guidelines. I do not really care for the leaders that I have had. They do not understand or accept that some people have an eating…

No longer on my diabetes med and no longer on the 2 BP meds. 1 of which was the water pill.

Didn't look at the recipes yet but thank you all for sharing!

Hi, I can't believe I can say this now but I too appreciate a good salad. I eat a salad every day for lunch and sometimes I even have one for breakfast. I add salmon or tuna to it. I will start adding chicken to it. I just started putting in some chia seeds. What is that light orange item in your salad? Sweet potato? Do…

It helps not having any of my trigger foods in the house, which is quite a big list. If I have that need to eat, I will make oatmeal or grab fruit or both. They say you should call someone, read a book, do a hobby. One good thing is to come here and say that you feel you are going to binge. Maybe some motivating words…

True :)

Hi, I had to have hubby hide my scale (which I do not like to do because I don't really want him involved with my weight loss and also afraid the scale will not be right numbers because it has been moved). For 2 months now I only weigh myself once a month. Except... I asked for the scale to be brought down after the 3rd…

As I have lost a considerable amount already, I now want to be in pictures. And not hide in the back and be all covered up. On past family vacations I was the one who didn't go zip lining or horse back riding. Don't know if anyone still wants to do that, but I would do them both now. I want to start participating in maybe…

Hi, I had my gallbladder out maybe 5 years ago. See that any tests you need be done out-patient, before you are admitted to the hospital. And see if they can start the IV with fluids close to your surgery time. I gained 18 lbs. with the IV (no eating) 8 days in hospital. Then the surgeon missed some stones, sludge, or as I…

I think it is wonderful and thoughtful that your hubby won't mind keeping his junk in the car. Would someone keep alcohol in the house if an alcoholic lived there? I don't think so. A compulsive overeater may try his best not to eat the junk in the house but if they have that "need/urge" that is just so hard to stop, the…

I would like to join too. 6/29 183.2

There are so many different charity trucks that will come right to your house and pick up your clothes etc. Plus I have given away clothes and stuff to friends. I don't feel bad about releasing these things because I know someone else can use it. Over a year ago I detoxed from a friend and didn't shed one tear. She was a…

I am not done with my weight loss yet but lost enough that: I do not have to buy wide width or extra wide width shoe/sneakers. No more meds. A close relative had asked why my tops are so long and wide. So now I am wearing fitted tops (though don't like too tight cause don't like any bulges to show). My rings are too big.…

Hugs

I hate having to move my scale. The last 2 months I am only weighing monthly. I have my hubby hide the scale. When it comes back for my weigh in I have him step on the scale and see if that is his normal weight. Hate it but I am scale obsessed and get sad if I don't like the number.

Before you wrote your last post, I was going to say that you seem to know yourself and if you deviate from your plan, you will go off your food plan. But it seems that you have a good handle on it - to plan your maintenance day, etc.
