  • I find I use less International Delight brand than I do of the Coffeemate brand. I drink this if I make coffee at home. If I'm at work, I use half and half and sugar. I also add D-Mannose to my coffee, which is a supplement for urinary health. It's sweet, and that helps too. Not advising you start taking D-Mannose, just…

  • I echo what people said about not logging accurately. I just got a food scale and I'm surprised at the difference between what I THOUGHT was 3 oz and what is actually 3 oz. The other option is to double-check the listings you're logging. My work has a free cafeteria for employees, and I thought, chicken noodle soup was XXX…

  • WELL. * Job change, resulting in additional stress/abuse at work * Mental health issues that were previously well treated, ended up being not so well treated * Working 60+ hours a week, and felt like I didn't have time to prepare food and get work done * Sleeping in until 2 p.m. on weekends, then stress-eating * PCOS Not…
    in What was your “reason” for gaining the weight? Comment by jmc930 October 2018
  • Oh, yes! If I'm on meds that I know increase my appetite for whatever reason, I remind myself, "I just ate a 350-calorie meal. I am drinking water. My body doesn't need food this moment. This isn't actual hunger." If I'm still hungry in a couple hours, I'll have a small snack.

  • When I had to buy new jeans. And then more new jeans. And another set of new jeans -- phased me a little, but I was pretty indifferent. When my doctor told me my weight gain was out of control, and I needed to work on that -- I rolled my eyes and insisted my weight gain MUST be due to a medical issue. (It wasn't.) But what…

  • Abilify gave me ridiculous akathesia. I couldn't sit still, woke up every day at 6 a.m., and did wall pushups for half an hour to try to get rid of the weird sensations. I also had no appetite on it, and lost 13 pounds in a couple weeks. That being said, I know other people who don't have that side effect! Everyone's body…

  • THIS! Food is NOT a reward. This is 50% of where I got my bad eating habits... celebrating good grades or other accomplishments with special high-calorie meals or sweets (the other half is what my mom deemed "happy plate." You only had a "happy plate" if you ate all the food on your plate, even if you weren't hungry. It…
