That is good-a different way of thinking about will power. It amazes how hard it can be to resist even the smallest temptaions and I end up having satisfied my temptation but mad at myself for the indulgence. Appetite is such a strong force-and it always wants more. If you start giving it what it wants you get more and…

One more thing-to me turkey bacon tastes like cardboard. But check out labels--there are lower cal. bacons. But-I get the thick and the two half slice eaten one bite at a time (resist urge to eat it all at once) really satisfies me. And I put it all on a small plate.

I'll probably make some people crazy with this but why substitute anything? I eat breakfast every day and always have. One difference now is that I use the food dairy here to record what I eat. I have a theory that makes sense to me-and my doctor-and some friends I talk to. I do not forbid myself bacon. Instead I balance…

Man would I love being that skinny many you all know! I used to be and weighed about 155 for years. Then I turned 40 and that was the end of that. Some people are just skinny and stay that way--women too! That said--some or most of us are not so lucky as to be skinny and eat anything and stay that way. Its more like eat…

Hey CasperO : I know what you say is true--and the testostone helps build musles which eat more calories and you are a witness to that. My point is that a pretty large percent of actually being successful losing weight is the mental mind set to do so. If both a man and a woman work side by side and each eats the same and…

DragonTamerBrat: Agreed. I do know about the Testosterone "advantage" and biologically it is true I am sure. Still, just getting to the point that one can override the mental tendancy to eat this or that is for anyone-and for me has in the past been something that for some reason I just didn't I guess really give enough…

Hi dancer77: I'm glad one female agrees--it is such a mental thing--and metabolism apparently isn't my strong point! It sucks that other people that don't have issues with this make comments like that. It is bull--we know how we look and feel and we are the ones that have to live in our skins so we have to just let it go…

Hey roylawrence87! You lost 64 lbs??!!! Man--that is beyond awsome. Any secret to success or just determination and will power. I have lost 38 lbs (from 135 to 197) and I already feel better and fit into clothes better--even a couple of waist sizes down. But my weight has got to go down alot more--I am only 5ft. 9in. and…

No kidding! I feel like an eating machine-hunger crazed food addict.! Thought I was doing great today but when I added it all up-I was quite surprised! It is worth the time to track eating--If I thought I was going good-I can only imagine another day with no thought except what sounded good at the moment! You are right--no…

Hi: Also new! I've been using the food diary for over a month and found it the easist to use-best online I've ever seen. So-I finally looked elsewhere and saw the community message boards and here I am. I'm down 22 lbs from my peak weight last March-but still need to keep it up-to reach my healthy weight-another 22 and…
