  • I have a 7 year old daughter and a 6 year old son. I am freaking out already about them spending the nights at other peoples houses. It's going to have to be a hard no from me.

  • My main issue is I can’t do fish. I have tried salmon many many times over the last six months because I know how good it is for you. I just can’t do it. My other issue is eating foods that won’t cause my blood sugar to rise. My other issue is trying to stay away from processed foods. I love all vegetables.
  • No, I don’t need you to or care if you believe me. I’m not asking you to believe anything. My daughter is not “living in a state of constant fear” and I’m not getting calls about going on My 600 Pound Life. I’m sorry for whatever you went through that made you this way. Jesus, I was just looking for some help with my…
  • You ready for the jacked up part? Since A1C is a 3 month snapshot and I have 4 month follow ups I figured that I was free to eat a little messed up for the first month since my appointment and that wouldn't factor into my A1C. Like that thought actually went through my head. Yeah my next appointment is in the beginning of…
  • Ninerbuff - That is my major problem - the damn routine. A serious issue for me was McDonald's breakfast. Every morning I would get an Egg McMuffin meal with a large coffee. I completely cut out the caffeine because of the blood pressure and I replaced rest of the meal with one of those protein shakes and a can of V8 ( I…
  • Oh, I completely agree that I am still morbidly obese. Yeah, that is my worst fear - dying before I get to watch my daughter grow up.
  • It truthfully means a lot for everyone that has taken the time to reply and offer advice.
  • elisa123gal - Thank you for your kind words. The thing that makes me crazy is that I dropped the first 50 lbs with no issue at all. It didn't take a ton of will power, I just knew what I had to do so I did it. The thing was I had the "Finish Line" of my doctor appointment last month. I guess subconsciously I told myself…
  • kaferine69 - You are so right. I have always been pretty much all or nothing, so if I set my alarm for Monday morning and then I roll back over and go back to sleep I will just think that the entire week is shot and I will start again next Monday. Setting the goal for three days a week and anything additional just being…
  • Lietchi - I definitely have the motivation, I really think that you hit the nail on the head with the concrete goals. When I started this journey at the beginning of the year I just knew that a) I was a fat @ss and I did not want to be that way anymore b) I wanted to get my blood sugar and blood pressure under control. I…
  • sollyn23l2 - I appreciate your reply, and you are correct, and that is how I lost the initial 50 pounds. I just kept saying that nothing tastes as good as watching her graduate or get married etc. I just have to learn how to re-introduce foods that I enjoy into my life. I just noticed that it is starting to become as issue…
