Oh my goodness...I just saw the worse of the worse movie just the other day. One of those you think will bound to get better or have a point or resolution but even the actress at the end said to her social worker, "I am done now" and she was and the movie was. Just horrible. What was so sad is this could have been an…

This is so weird...A short while ago, I use to feel exactly the same about Greek Yogurt, {{{Yuk}}} however I was determined to add it to my fuel menu. I started by using it instead of sour cream such as on tacos and then I started just eating a small amount as a dip for apples and now, believe it or not I just love the…

Hi, I so understand...I live in Dark, Rainy, Cold Western Washington and when I get Out of bed it can be very hard to get my run or hike in during the winter, However...I have some tricks to get me going that I have been doing for a while now. 1.) First, I Made a kitchen commitment to myself and my health by agreeing that…

A Path With No Disguise has been a life changer for me as it addresses the reasons behind addictive and destructive behavior. Better than a therapist and comes with a hypnotic life affirming song to help change the wording in ones mind.

This is "THE" most important topic there is in my opinion as I have a food addiction issue! Your trainer is right that muscle will burn fat much easier and keep it off much longer but at some point in the aging process that doesn't work the same any more and other strategies will have to be utilized to maintain your…

Ohhh, I loved your two words...Totally appropriate for what happened yesterday!

Congrats on keeping your babe drug free...I adopted one of my Grandchildren who probably has this, but I don't want him with a label, although his teachers would love it if I did. I know how hard it can be to raise a child who has many gifts although focus and patience aren't the two on the list at all. Hee, hee. I would…

I also am a salt and crunchy kind of girl. Frankly I do not buy chips in any bag at all as I will eat them if they are around. Hee, hee. Instead I do up a small batch of popcorn, using sm. amount of sea salt, chili powder and cayenne pepper. It satisfies my urges and I know what I am actually eating. All the best to you as…

What a great way to put it..."Poison"

To answer your question, " Did you stop logging and did it help?" When I stop logging I do it to go back to eating comfort foods and my weight comes right back. This time I am working on why I feel the need to eat "comfort" foods instead of talking about what is really going on. I respect your honesty...Refreshing, and if…

Mind Blowing...Your success and what you have persevered through!

Hee, hee...I also came here to rant at your husband. The Jokes on me and I see one other person, nicely done. Have a great time, get the expensive jeans You Deserve It!

There is truly something to be said for getting into, "the groove" of weight loss. Once you're in there, just keep on going and before you know it you as well will hit your goal. It is great to hear someone not ashamed to say they are, "proud." Celebrate each success, because that is you!

P.S. When that happens to me, I hit the punching bag and let it all out.

I know for myself, when I am taking off the pounds I can get irritated for any little thing. I have heard it said that people that emotionally eat gain weight because of their empathic gifts and strong emotions and those emotions get stored in our fat cells. Then the fat cells storing these emotions through weight loss and…

(*) Hi, this isn't a small victory but a H U G E one, you should be feeling very Proud of yourself right now.

Oh my...You have every right to feel proud of yourself. What you have accomplished is a rare and unusual Jewel...That would be YOU!!!

Hee, hee...Loved reading these posts...Including the salty part. I am over the 50 part now and long past that crazy menopause stuff but who could forget? I am still struggling to keep it off even with my workout habits since that time. There is no getting around it...Eating right and eating smaller portions is the way. I…

(*) You are a Star...Just keep on going...Building on each success one at a time!

What was intent for your walk? Is this your only form of exercise? So many questions... Walking is my all time favorite form of exercise...I like to mix it up, always beating the length I go or the speed I go. Mixing it up with lots of hills and pumping those arms as well, if you have a dog your walking along with you on a…
