Try the Just for Today" approach. When your craving hits, tell yourself, (or better yet, write it down) that Just for Today you will not give in to the crave for the frappe because it's emotional and instead you will reward yourself with.......(fill in the blank.) Take it one day at a time. I think you'll begin to feel…

I can relate to ALL of your story as I've felt that way at one time or another but to a lesser degree. I hope I can help. First of all...when I finally scrolled down to your photo, I was SHOCKED to find a handsome man who is definitely not the huge worthless blob you describe yourself to be. I was shocked!!!! But I also…

I am sorry that you ard both suffering. Maybe a mantra might help or meditation. Remind yourself that you are strong, worrying will deplete this strength, and loving her, even from a distance, is healing in its own way. Also, know you are doing all you can in the best way you know how.

...and some days it's OK to give in to the urge. Just try to do better the next day. And the next.

Holy Moly! Not only would I be tempted to comfort myself with food, I would eat all the junk in my house! BUT.....! If I talk out loud to myself in the 2nd person about the mess I have to deal with and respond with conviction that I'm NOT going to start on junk food because it's all downhill from there. ...I can usually…

Me too! Thumbs up to us!

Hmmm...I would talk to your md about the aches if they continue.

I can completely relate...when I'm at my worst weight, I tend to get depressed about it and that kills my motivation. In order to feel better I stuff myself with food. Then I feel even worse. Currently none of my clothes fit comfortably and I'm envious of friends who have self control. So, I'm taking baby steps and…

Easier said than done lol. But I will definitely try using the visual trick. Thanks!

I hate, hate, hate to exercise but it's the only thing that will help me drop the weight and tighten up. I made a commitment in the "Just for today" thread to begin 20-30 mins of activity before day's end. Now I have to be accountable!

Yes, do better tomorrow. Just don't go crazy with dinner tonight (like I do when I go over lol)

Add me too! I need support and am willing to give it! Together we can accomplish our goals.

I binge eat too and then go to sleep or nap. Usually it's tied to emotions, hormones, stress. It's a dark secret only my family knows. I'm grateful I don't purge though. Right now I'm keeping my weight loss goal a secret (aside from all my FP friends) because I tend to talk about it more than actually do it.

So this is day 2 on this thread for me. I love reading everyone's goals, struggles, successes! JFT I am going to do some sort of activity for at least 20-30 minutes. JFT I am not going to eat more than the 450 calories I have left. JFT I am not going to emotional eat because I am stressed with my teen

Sure you're angry....you regret that you put on what you worked so hard to lose. If you had a chance to do it all over again, would you do it differently? Well guess what...this is your chance! This time when you reach your goal, you'll know that you have to continue clean, healthy eating to maintain your desired weight.…

I'm hoping to join...it's August. 1. Just for today I will NOT snack before bed just because it's a habit and my tummy is not stuffed. 2. Just for today I will reach for clean food with no white carbs. 3. Just for today I will not be discouraged because the weight isn't coming off after 3 days of trying. 4. Just for today…

You might not be so bothered by the negative comments if you focus on your recent hard work and successes. Hold your head up high for being clean. Take pride in all the weight you lost. Show confidence in your strong body. Be grateful for your health. Forgive yourself for past mistakes...they shape who we are. Carry…

I'll be a support buddy. I need support too
