I don't like flavored water. What I did was bought a 32 oz water bottle with a straw in it, and I just gulp away mindlessly while I'm on the computer. I try to drink at least 3 liters a day. I also find it's easier when the water is only slightly cold, I'm sensitive to ice water.

I'm recently learning that I'm afraid of success. Every time I find myself doing really well...I self-sabotage and halt my progress. I'm so used to being the fat girl, hiding behind my weight, that I don't know what to do with myself when I find myself happy. The fact that I once had an eating disorder, and still have some…

I don't. If I know I'm going to be drinking, I cut back on the rest of my calorie intake for the day. When I'm drinking, I drink to get drunk, and quantifying the drinks/counting calories is the last thing on my mind. Sometimes I also just don't know how much/and of what I'm drinking. For example tonight I shared a Long…

Fats should come from food like…

I have set treats for each 10 pounds lost... 170 - 10 lbs lost - new pair of sunglasses or two (I'm a sunglass addict) 160 - 20 lbs lost - 2 new records (love my record player!) 150 - 30 lbs lost - a new longboard 140 - 40 lbs lost - an expensive hunk of meat, like a rack of babyback ribs, or a juicy butcher-quality steak…

Two different moments: Trying on a dress that just 5 months earlier had fit like a dream, and having it be too tight to even zipper. My mom told me, as she tried to zipper it up unsuccessfully, "you must have gained weight then". I. Wanted. To. Die. Second moment was in Target, trying to find a cute swimsuit. I didn't have…
