  • Every time I don't drink my water, I can feel my body retaining every sip I take, I can only imagine how much my body would "store" each time I tried fasting for a few hours/days. I have heard from many nutritionists that the only way to lose weight was to eat, but eat healthy and good portions. You can never "starve" your…
  • My emotional eating is not to cope with "deep down in the pit of my stomach" issues, it's related to the major changes in my life right now. In July 2010, my husband was laid off, which just happened to be at the right time because he was struggling more and more with depression and his bipolar (or what we though was…
  • For me it's easy.....stress. I'm an emotional eater. I get stressed. I eat, I'm sad I eat, I'm tired I eat. For years, I struggled with my weight, after a while I just quit the struggle and gave up on myself. After that, the pounds pilled on and the more they did the less I cared about me. It was a vicious circle,The more…
  • I know I was "using" them wrong, it seems to get their full effect, you need to let them "gel" in water or something liquid for 15-20min. I never felt any changes until I did it right.
  • I do ice cold plain 95% of the time, the rest I do with a hint of lemon and chia seeds as a filler to ensure I don't feel hungry. Once in a blue moon I will add mio or something, but that's a rare thing for me.
  • Thank you all for your suggestions. Since I have full access to a pool within 5minutes from home, I will just go and swim. It's also a good reason to make a quick visit with my family.
  • We are going for a family trip in Panama on February 2014. My plan is to have all new clothes in my luggage...and from a bunch of places, not from the 2 same stores as I have been limited to for years now. I will reward myself with sexy underwear and bras. Because of the size I need, they end up being pretty "granny" and…
  • Good Mother- Jann Arden Love this song. It's such a beautifull dedication to a good mom...and dad. It makes me think of my parents each time I hear it or someone comments on how great my parents are.
  • Thank you for your support. I went for a mall walk during lunch and went into a store (not plus size but they do have 2XL) to see what I could try on for sumer dresses. I usually wear 3X or even 4X for some models. I noticed that 2X was not too far from fitting nicelly (just too snug at the stomach), so I told myself that…
  • Thank you or your support. My problem is not scale watching, I hate the thing. I just noticed that I weight myself one day and the next time I do, what ever I lost is back or the darn thing isn't moving. This week is just nuts. I'm eating at all kind of weird hours. Not sleeping well at all, accepting all and any excuses…
  • Since you have kids, try, as much as possible to keep them out of arguments or discussions regarding the divorce (no playing the kids against the other) and make it a commandement that NO ONE *****es about the ex in front of the kids. We took that stand when my sister divorced (her daughter has never known life with dad at…

  • If I needed more motivation today, you just kicked me into high gear. You look amazing! Thank you for sharing.
  • It would be a toss between steak and cheesecake. Why? because they are the best.
  • I would be searching for the girl they would be making the comment too. I would never think they are talking about me.:laugh: :laugh: I have to say that my exercices are always with my dog, and I have my music on during that time too. They would need to get pretty close for me to hear the comment and my dog would go into…
  • My office is moving and our offices will be about 40% smaller than right now. I have to say that I would love to have this in my new office, now I have to think that it still needs some "normal" electricity since I'm often running around the office and would end up with a non functioning PC on most days. :laugh: I'm also…
  • Pisce
  • Walked my dog ...even if it was raining (something I would have never done before) for 15 minutes.
  • The only way to deal with this is being open and honest with that person and tell her that you understand that she is not being malicious at all with her comment and she's just trying to be cute, but it's just not something that you find cute in any way and you would prefer that in respect to both of you that the comment…
  • What I love to do is make a salad with only vegges (no lettuce) with a different protein (egg, chicken breast, etc) and dressing to change it a bit. I just cut my vegetables in chuncks as soon as I buy them into a big container and prepare a few different proteins that I prep in seperate containers, then as I'm preparing…
  • My husband will offer to help, but more often than not, I end up doing the yard work and all....but he's the one cleaning the house, doing dishes and the laundry, so it all ends well. However, he does open the door for anyone walking in or out.
  • How about egg white omellet (possibly a western type with green and red peppers, celery, oignons, low fat cheese and fresh herbs) , fresh fruit salad and low fat mini muffins?
  • During the summer it's very difficult to have access to an off leash area (we don't have one specific for dogs but use the park next to my home, but it's a soccer and baseball park, so it's in great demand during summer) but I can try and do my walks either late at night during the week and realy early during the weekends.…
  • This sounds like a great way to get into being accountable for my exercise...so I'm in. SInce I'm a walker and not sure how many miles I can do, I'll go with a total of 700 minutes of walking for the month. <a href="http://www.TickerFactory.com/exercise/wnjepMc/"> <img border="0"…
  • Thanks. That's actually a great idea of re-reading my post everyday.
  • HI, I know how you feel about being a shamu bride, I was so stressed out about the wedding that I actually gained 40lbs, of course, that was back then when I didn't see anything wrong with being fat (actually I had given up on losing weight).
  • Hi Paul, You sound like you're doing great! Congrats on all that weight lost already.
  • My morning ritual of a Tim orton's B.E.L.T. with sausage WITH the hashbrown and an extra large French vanilla capuccino. It's hard not to drop by when I get to the office.
