40, also starting... again. i have zero accountability. i do really well for... well, sometimes a day, sometimes a week, sometimes a month. but i work a lot (2 jobs), am often exhausted, and while i am a mad food prepper and always bring meals with me, sometimes i want something junky to eat. and something junky turns into…

the sleep was the worst part of third shift for me, since i work 2 jobs. i got home at 930-10 am, and got up at 430 pm. blackout curtains were helpful, but i still struggled with daytime sleeping. i don't think i ever found any kind of a groove, and just did the best i could every day. i wish you luck and i'm crossing my…

this past week i was visiting relatives, whose idea of food includes powered mashed potatoes, canned veggies, ice cream, full calorie sodas, hawaiian punch, and cookies. the day after we got there, we went to the store and bought diet soda (i have one a day because i'm not a coffee drinker and i MUST have caffeine) and…

it's tempting not to... haha. i do use that day (and friday morning as well) to catch up on my sleep for the week. it's not great for a set schedule, but i find i can't make it on ~4.5 hours 2 nights a week without spending 8-10 hours sleeping on my day off.... i've just learned that i'm my own worst enemy and i need to…

i logged everything based on my timeline. my 4 pm meal went on my breakfast. because i had to bring all my food with me (there was literally nothing near where i worked that was open overnight) i would log all my food for MY day when i ate breakfast. the midnight deadline meant nothing to me, because i was still going to…

ok, so i'm just joining the thread... i work a full time job and a part time job, and am taking college classes (i start a 5 credit organic chemistry in the fall). i am routinely away from my house 15 hours a day (sundays it's 18). i have one day off a week, which i spend food prepping and stocking my fridge and freezer…

hello! i turn 40 in 3 months. and my goal is to not hit that number at anything but my goal weight, which is 25 pounds away. always happy to have new friends on here, and always happy to help offer encouragement. i have been on here for years, been up and down and up and down and was never able to make the changes…

i also have invested in home workout equipment. best thing i ever did for myself. no driving to a gym, just walk down the stairs.

when i worked third shift, i literally flopped my life by 12 hours. i ate breakfast when i woke up at 4 pm. i ate lunch at 9 pm, and i had dinner at 4 am. i had my fruit (higher sugar content) around 6, to get me through the last of the hours before i drove home. i also (still) perpetually snack between meals. and drink…

i understand this entirely, as every time i tried this, it just continued to bleed into every other stupid day. then i got in the "well, i blew it today already, so i might as well just keep blowing it for the rest of the day". a forgotten lunch box meant a horrible fast food lunch, which then spiraled into a dinner that…

i hear you! i work 2 jobs, 6 days a week. honestly, you just have to do it. either you work out when you get home and your family eats a bit later, you get up early and work out before work, you work out later in the evening. some days i work out between my jobs, some days i work out after i get home (about 7 pm) before i…

for 4 days, i didn't smoke. last night, i bought a pack. this morning, i put the pack in the back of a drawer. if i have a bad day (like yesterday) then i just need to make it home and i can have one, then i don't end up buying another pack and smoking the whole darn thing. i feel the need to add that i've quit about 875…

Take your time, deal with your grief. Cry, allow yourself time to not want to get up in the morning, and acknowledge that this pain is part of being human. it's hard to love so hard and lose it. but then, one day, you'll wake up and it won't hurt so much. from that point on, you get up, and get yourself going. take care of…

i confess that i'm one of those people who does everything possible for everyone else but completely neglects taking care of herself. this leads to resentment of myself because i apparently don't think i'm worth taking care of, and of the people i'm helping, which in turn makes me feel even worse about myself. and when i…

i work a full time job and a part time job, so i understand your dilemma entirely. i get up at 330 am, work from 5 am to 130 pm, work from 330 pm to 830 pm then go to bed. here's how i do it. step 1: cook large scale meals as often as necessary, portion, then freeze. there are all kinds of healthy dinner ideas out there (i…

to start... i'm not a mom, but i have quite a few new mom friends, so i'm pulling from their conversations... there are tons of websites that give you ideas on how to get workouts in (with your baby), so maybe try to google working out with your baby. secondly... i'm a roller coaster. always have been. until recently. i've…

if this is not a normal thing for you, try taking melatonin before you go to bed. it's a chemical your body produces naturally to help you fall asleep, and a small dose before bed can help you go to sleep and stay asleep. or, try adding in writing in a journal (to clear your mind), doing some relaxation yoga before bed, a…

have a hershey kiss. i have a small piece of chocolate about 3 times a week. prevents the massive cravings where i want a huge candy bar/bowl of ice cream, etc. a hershey kiss is 22 calories.

accept it for what it is, then put it in the past and don't ever look back!

and bacon, maybe if someone from your real life sees it, you'll actually get all this without having to vocalize it!
-
and hair pulled. big time.

oh it's not a question of whether i want to use them. i'm all about them. one of my favorite experiences was the first time i was handcuffed... but... been steadily single for over 6 years. i have no time to dedicate to anything other than work at the moment (booooo)

BWAHAHAHAHAHA she gagged me EVERY time!
