HI SUSAN, WHAT A LOVELY WOMAN YOUR MOM WAS. I CAN TELL YOU LOVED AND STILL LOVE HER VERY MUCH. MY MOM PASSED AWAY IN 2006. I MISSED HER SO MUCH,I STARTED EATING AN AWFUL LOT AND GAINED ABOUT 22LBS.

Usually late afternoon most people's blood sugar starts to dip. Carbohydrate abusers find themselves craving sweets or flour products.If you give in you trigger a chaotic cycle of chemical ups and downs that make you a compulsive eater. So, remind yourself of the time of day and that your blood sugar is low. That's why you…

Welcome Pearl. Emotional eating seems to be one of the major problems of overweight people. I can eat from anger, stress, sadness, you name it. It can be night or day. I am trying to realize what I am doing and stop myself. It's a bad habit and habits can be broken. Each time I am successful,I feel stronger and know that I…

Thanks to everyone for welcoming me. I wanted to think about what my goals for April will be. They are as follows: lose 4lbs drink 5 glasses of water (a huge problem for me, just do not like water) every day stop and think before I eat at irregular times, ask myself if I am really hungry keep walking one mile at least 4…

Hi Kathy, Glad you are still trying. Never give up. The only people who fail are those that stop trying. April is a new start. Think strategy instead of willpower. It helps so much to have a real plan. Wish you the best result ever for April. Anne

I'm excited to join. My weight this morning is 166. My goal is 145. Have been using calories to win this battle and for me it works. I read that people who write down what they eat are more successful and have done that since day one. It gets easier and easier. I have my own shorthand and know the calories by heart. I…

FAITHBUG, I WISH I HAD DECIDED TO BEAT MY PROBLEM AT AGE 30. I WOULD HAVE HAD SO MANY MORE YEARS OF GOOD HEALTH. I NEVER REALLY GOT A GRIP ON EMOTIONAL EATING AND DID IT ALL MY LIFE. THE YO YO DIETING WAS ALWAYS WITH ME.I DID NOT GAIN THE BULK OF MY WEIGHT UNTIL AFTER 50. AT THAT POINT I JUST GAVE UP. MY HEALTH WENT DOWN…
