I work a rotating night shift. 7 total in a month. The way they go it is practically impossible to stay within my calorie range. After all these years I still find it a mystery on how to do this and not starve, which, I might add does not go well for me. I do not like being hungry.

Thank you Katimiri! I really appreciate your insight <3 Once I saw the doctor I was actually referred to to look into medication for my anxiety (figured when all tests by 5 other doctor came back normal over the years I had an 'ah ha' moment and thought maybe it was anxiety) and he brought me being burned out to my…

By rest to you sleep, read, watch TV? I always feel so guilty laying down... My body generally forces me to though and then I have an extremely hard time getting going again. It is quite frustrating

I am not but I just wanted to say how awesome it is that you have taken into your own hands to cut your medications and fight your diabetes!! I wish more people did this! Way to go. That is just amazing! Keep it up!!

I feel your pain. I am in the same boat. My work uniform not fitting came as the final straw. I find the yoyo game of weight loss exhausting. Live a healthy lifestyle and do really good then something stressful happens and you are derailed and gain some back again. I really do get frustrated and tired of the whole process…

Thank you

Thank you all for your words of encouragement and advice! I will have to look into toastmasters. That sounds like it could definitely help me. I have spoken to one of my bosses and they said they need a small group of volunteers to be on a research and wellness team that would work behind the scenes I guess you could say…

So for Christmas I got a TFal Actifry. Let me just say it is gods gift to man kind!! lol! The recipes are crazy easy, good and require minimal work. I'm so excited to get some meals made up for the work week and it not take hours and hours...

I think people should love there body and not care what people say about them at any size. Upon saying that fat shaming and so on is completely unacceptable. I don't think people should condone being over weight though. It does affect your health and leads to diabetes, cancer, heart issues... Who wants to encourage those…

This is all amazing advice! Thank you so much!

I must add... I love, and my pocket book also loves grains like pasta and bread.

LMAO!!

I would love to do it although I feel much cleaner when they are shaved. I think it looks better shaved, but thats probably societies years of brain washing. Deep down I figure if men don't shave why should we? Only fair. It would take some getting used to but eventually I would be game.

Thank you you guys that's very helpful

Thank you everyone for the reply. It helps to know I am not alone. It has also helped to give me a boost and try and climb back up on that wagon!

I would be interested in current vitamins and supplements. Thoughts on fat burners and such

LOL! You nailed it with the Type A personality. Well done :-D You opened my eyes when you said I feel I have to be the best at everything I attempt or else I don't want to do it. That has made me think a bit. Need to figure out how to change my way of thinking because your way sounds way more relaxing and fun. I did do…

Spoke with the doctor today and they confirmed I have a 19mm herniated disc. Anybody recovering from such an injury?
