Weirdly, I love peanut butter and jelly sandwiches for breakfast on the go... My go-to stay at home breakfast: slice of toast with a poached egg on top, salsa, plain greek yogurt, and basil = awesome My other favorite is saute scallions in a pan with Pam, crack an egg over it and cook the egg, then serve it on top of a…

1. Tea: Sometimes I get tired of water, and tea lets you put some variety in what you drink. I don't put any sweetener in it, and just let the flavor come through (peppermint, green tea...whatever). If I'm hungry, I have a cup of tea first. If I'm still hungry, I have a small snack. Usually I'm fine with just the cup of…

Long Tall Sally has an awesome selection, and you can sort by inseam and size, but it is a little pricey. It's based in the UK, but this is the US site: http://us.longtallsally.com/. Just a warning though, at 6 feet tall, I actually feel short when I shop on this site! In terms of finding good priced tops, it can take some…

Hello my fellow tall ladies! I am 6 feet tall, and at my heaviest I was 192. I'm working my way back to 165, which I haven't been at since high school (mayyybe college?). I think it's tougher to pick a 'magic' number when you're trying to incorporate strengthening and increasing muscle. I'm sure I'll fluctuate when I…

I only do it once a week. I keep my scale in the original box in a closet and only take it out for the weigh in every Wednesday morning. I feel like the weight is just a number; in between I concentrate more on how I'm feeling better and my clothes fit better, and the weekly weight check just helps me make sure I'm on the…

I loooooove chocolate, and I used to just eat whatever came my way. I used to feel this sort of weird urgency to eat treats, like, what if I lose this chance to enjoy a cookie or chocolate? I know it sounds silly, but I felt obligated to take advantage of what was in front of me. Maybe it's the 5 year old in me who doesn't…

When you say non-dairy, do you mean no yogurt? I've got some ideas that might use a little bit of cheese... 1) 1 piece of wheat toast, topped with a poached egg, covered in salsa (Safeway garlic lover's salsa is awesome). I put plain greek yogurt on top, but you can skip that if you're looking for non-dairy. 2) Chop up a…

My weakness is not a food, it's a liquid: beer (I hear you on the wine, too!). I really like craft beer, but the more delicious kinds are full of calories. My friends all like to get together and drink delicious beer, and when I'm tipsy, it's a lot easier to make questionable diet decisions, so it's not just the calories…

I'm all for it. This blog post explains it pretty well: http://www.diet-blog.com/08/have_a_day_off_your_diet.php I think that as a person who loves food, it doesn't make sense to assume that I will never have too much cheese, or pizza, or fries, ever again. Weight loss and getting in shape is a long journey, and I think a…
