I've actually been to a dietician, nutrionist, and life coach and it wasn't much help. I have the knowledge, but I just don't do it. I agree that there are triggers. I am probably going to go to counseling and see if I can get to the root of the problem.

I think a big reason I stopped doing those things is because I lose my independence when I'm with someone. I get lazy and stop walking. I also had to move back with my mom, which I didn't like because again I lost my independence. I wasn't able to control what was brought in the house. I'm realizing more and more that I…

Thank you everyone for your encouraging words. Thank you lovely_im, I am seeking professional help because I realize the baggage I carry in my personal life has a lot to do with my weight gain.

Thank you scottrs1230. Very wise words.

Thank you brightresolve. I agree, taking one day at a time. Thank you for the friend request. This has helped a lot, getting it out there.

That is so awesome.

I'm interested

You're a great story teller. I'm inspired.

I just got back on today and your picture has inspired me.

My my fitness pal is at 1,200. Most days I eat at 1,200 , but sometimes I go over. I have lost 40lbs so far this way with just moderate exercise. I walk everywhere. I do zumba and yoga once a week. If you can avoid anything processed, you are going to get the most out of a 1,200 day. When I decide to eat something, I think…

I'm actually going to see a ayurvedic practioner tommorrow. I will let you know what she says. I took an intro class with the woman and I learned a lot. Some basic things she taught us was that we should not only be eating for our dosha, but also for the season. Like if it's cold outside, we should eat warm things. Never…

So you saw my little sister at the gym. :p My little sister wears a lot of make-up and honestly it's because she looks scary without it.

She is an inspiration for me. She is an amazing person.

Yeah these people make me mad. I do everything I can not to let them in. When I succeed in not letting them in, I laugh. :p

Great photo. You look amazing.

Great tips.

Wow I'm sorry that you're going through this. First, off this wasn't your fault. Second, don't listen to what other people say. Just focus on getting your son the treatment and care he needs. It was smart of you to get the second opinion. You need to talk to someone like a counselor or a pastor. They can help you deal with…

I am going through the same thing. I have been working on my spiritual self, which has been helping me deal with this. I read this book Forgiveness http://www.amazon.com/Forgiveness-Greatest-Gerald-G-Jampolsky/dp/1582700206 and it has helped me a lot. This is also a great book 4 Agreements…

The recipes are in the community section. There's a message board called recipes that people have posted.

The best relationships that I have seen are the ones built on friendship. You wouldn't be with a friend 24/7. You also don't fight with a friend 24/7. I learned that trust and friendship are the foundation of a great relationship. The heathliest relationship I had was with my last ex. We did our own thing during the week.…

My friend is a doctor and always buys $1 drugs. He says it is the same drug. You can do a side by side comparison of the ingredients and they are exactly the same. After he told me this, I have't bought name brands. Like binary_jester said expired drugs will lose their effectiveness.

I know people will disagree with me, but I am a firm believer that it's the quality over quantity of food. I lost 18lbs in 5 weeks. This was because I started listening to my body. My body doesn't digest dairy products (except yogurt) or breaded things very well, so I eliminated this from my diet. I allow myself to eat as…

Mind games go both ways.Women need to stop playing. I think people should just be honest. I tell guys that I'm interested in yes, and guys I'm not interested in no. I don't deal with games. If you like me, ask me out. Flirting is a good way to guage what the response will be and also to find out more about the person.If a…

Awesome. Proud of you. I'm actually on the same path. Losing weight and debt. I really have to thank Dave Ramsey. He got me to start thinking of myself as the controller not the victim.

I'm 25 next month and I realized I never have worn a bikini. I talked to a Life Coach and realized that I used my weight to protect me from men. Oddly at the same time, I was being mentally abused by men. Now that I started transforming my life and stop acting like a helpless victim, I am happier and the weight is coming…

Good find. I will need to look into this.

I have a friend that is skinny, but she eats normal. People have walked into the store where she works and told her the same exact thing "eat something" "You're too skinny" "You're anorexic". My first thought is why do people care so much about what others are doing. My friend simply informs them that she a beautiful…

um why do you guys have my boyfriends pictures on here? S

Dating isn't easy, but I truly believe that God and the Universe has my back. I haven't been on a date for months now and I'm cool with that. I have guys come up to me, but they are not the type of guys I want to be with (No job, durag, baggy clothes <--- get the picture). I don't lie to them. I am nice and just tell them…

So have you found her? Update us your most fun date: My ex made a picnic and we went to the beach. your most romantic date: My ex boyfriend took me to a really nice Italian restaurant. We shared creme burlee. Then we went to the movies and watched Slumdog Millionaire. We did the same thing on our 1st year Anniversary. It…
