  • Welcome! This is a great site, and helps me a lot. I keep it kind of simple, exercise, and try to stay under on the calories. I have been doing this for 2 weeks now, and feel so much better!!! The nice thing is there is no limit to the coffee I can drink........ :D
  • Welcome!!! I had 4 kiddoes when I was younger.......and I cooked every meal. I got really fat in my 30's.

Sometimes I think when I am bored I just eat something heavy to make me like a food high....kind of sleepy. I want to break that. Any…
  • Ok, so I only can eat 500 calories the rest of the day as I had 2 breakfast burritos before I posted. I know starving myself wont work, so I will try salad later tonight. Meanwhile, is it good to drink water instead. I just need to get my mind off food when I am restless and board!!!!
  • Stress is hard, and I am not sure what to say on eating, dieting, and stress. I live a pretty stress free life (Kids are grown :smile: ) I think the stress is something to address first. Love yourself even if you let yourself eat for fun. My struggle is eating out of boredom, and my job is in front of a computer. Practice…
