I had spinach dip. I still drank a diet soda and didn't have any dessert, but good Lord the spinach dip was sooooo good I couldn't say no.

Sometimes I have a cup of no-sugar-added applesauce :smile:

Ugh I try not to do it more than once a day, but sometimes my obsession gets the better of me. At the very least I step on the scale first thing in the morning.

I'm so sorry. I know that there is little that will make you feel better right now, but know you are not alone. Seven years ago my dad died unexpectedly at age 49. Everyone has their own way to grieve, and don't let anyone tell you you are doing it wrong! I still have plenty of days when I cry and get mad that he's no…

Thank you all for your support and encouragement! I just had a really bad day that day, and I'm feeling better now. It's just nice to know there are others out there who understand and can give that extra boost when needed! I'll keep on workin on it all.... :smile:

Nothing, you're human :flowerforyou: Hang in there, things will get better even if you feel like they won't.

We bought these horrible sour gummy hot dog candies that I will not even be remotely tempted to eat! But the kids will probably love them :happy:

My best advice is keep taking the medication as prescribed. I have had periods of time when I have had to stop taking mine due to not being able to pay for it, and it makes a big difference being on and off it. It will take a few weeks of being on the meds before things even out, but once they do, you might find it a…

Thank you :smile: Today I stayed within my limits and I feel better!

Dang! Well, at least now you know what's going on. I find swimming to be the best exercise...my leg still gets sore after a while on the treadmill or bike, but doing laps I have no problems. Hope you feel better!

Me too!!!! Love them love them love them.

I tried those Mega-T Green Tea supplements. I couldn't really find any bad information out there about them, so I took them for about two weeks just as I was getting started. I kinda got lazy and stopped taking them, but I think they really helped me and gave me a boost in those first few really tough days when I was…

I'm right there with all of you. I hate being "THAT girl" who obsesses over every single calorie. It's my hope that someday meshing food and life will become easier!! :flowerforyou:

Hmm...I broke my leg in two places a little over 3 years ago, and I still get the shooting pains, but not as severe as you describe. It might not be a bad idea just to get it checked out and see what a doctor thinks. Hope it is nothing major!!

I'm in the same boat!! It seems so much harder to stay on track when you are in school. For me, I make sure I have 100-calorie snack packets in my school bag and that on my breaks between classes, I go outside and walk around the school building. And the temptation to stress eat is terrible! But I figure I just have to…

I'll go classic rock: 1. The Police 2. Aerosmith 3. Van Halen 4. Beastie Boys 5. The Beatles :heart:

My doctor specifically told me he would never prescribe it to me, because "it makes you poop your pants". I had to laugh when he said that!

Good for you!!! I think that is an excellent attitude to have :smile:

Heading to the gym because I would like to join my family for Chinese food tonight!!!

I'm a terrible stress eater. It happens a lot when I'm at school, where the building is surrounded by fast food places! But I do it at home too, and I just have to talk myself down from it. I make myself take a breather. I ask myself if I'm really truly hungry, then I will have a quick bite of something healthy. That will…

Thank you for your opinions! I was kind of thinking of implementing the "reward days" further down the road when my boyfriend returns home and begins cooking for the both of us again. But the idea kind of made me nervous. I don't want to undo any of our hard work once a week. I did go out today and have something that was…

Thank you for the welcomes and suggestions!! Does anyone have any experience with green tea and weight loss? I've been reading about it...I don't drink tea, but I'd be willing to if it helps :)

I just saw this post and I want to join in. My life-long weight struggle really got tough last fall and now I am at the point where I have no choice but to make permanent changes. I'm a commuting student (which really doesn't help anything!!) and I am on Day 2 of healthier living.

Me too! My bf and I had pizza today too...and I drank part of a real soda. I know it was no good for my diet, but my word it tasted good. Tomorrow it's veggies and gym time.

It seems like I have been spending more at the grocery store since I started eating healthier, too. It's a little frustrating, but I guess it is the price I pay (literally) for being in better shape!

I am finding all kinds of low-cal snacks...Jiffy Pop Healthy Pop has 20 calories for a cup of microwave popcorn. If you have to have chocolate, 30 chocolate chips is 70 calories, and a 3 Musketeers Mint is 150 calories. And I know soda is no good, but sometimes it fills my cravings to have a 20 oz bottle of Diet 7Up or…

I was wanting to ask this same question the other day! I know during pms-y times it is supposed to be helpful to get up and exercise, but that is a lot easier said than done. I literally forced myself to the gym today, but I guess in a way to make myself feel better about having to go, I only walked the treadmill instead…

I have Hashimoto's too. All I can say is it is a b**ch. It will mess with you like crazy. I haven't been able to weigh myself yet and see if I've lost anything since being on this site, but a couple months ago I went to my doctor and talked to him. He sent me to see a nutritionist, who was actually pretty helpful.…

I personally think a day of rest is good for preventing burn-outs. I took my day of rest yesterday, and now I am actually looking forward to getting to the gym today. :happy:

I got in gear right at Christmas and I am just now starting to feel good, and feel like I might be making some progress. My body has been sore and tired, and my belly eternally hungry, but I kept thinking, "I just have to get past this". I think it's starting to work! So do not lose faith. :smile:
