I can't even imagine what you going through taking care of elderly parents. I am a Hospice volunteer and I see families exhausted from the care because it is a 24/7 job. I wish you the best.

I can so relate to you. I've been an emotional eater I believe my whole life. Even as a child I remember sneaking food to eat when no one was around.

I know this is a month late, but I just joined the group. I'm not sure how you can post a new discussion on the blog. Anyway, if you find out how to stop emotional eating please let me know. I even went to a health coach for emotional eating. It helped some. It was a lot of negative feelings from just my childhood. Or…

I am in agreement with everyone else. Love Wii-Fit and other games. The first time I played, I was so sore the next morning. Did not realize how many muscles I never used. Go for it! :smokin: Created by MyFitnessPal.com - Calorie Counter

Are you getting enough protein? Maybe if you added a little bit more for during the day you would not chow down at night? Are you hungry...or is it emotional eating? I have the problem of emotional eating. Do you have an exercise ball? If you do, how about making a game with the kids before bed time. You sit on the ball,…

I don't know the answer for you...but I was given a 30 minute work-out from a trainer that can be done at home. I know if you could take out 1 of the circuits and it can be done in 20. It can be done at home, and it really get your heart pumping. Let me know if you are interested.:smile: Jo PS...Completely understand the…

Hello right back to you!!!! Welcome aboard. I love the site. Jo

I love this website, and it has really helped me a long the way. You can do it....and when you feel you can't....check out the message boards...lots of success stories and motivation!!!! Created by MyFitnessPal.com - Free Food Diary

Thanks...I had the same question! :laugh:

I know how you feel. I thought I was doing so well, and gained weight. I almost gave up...thinking it was not worth it. I am so glad I did not give up. I pushed even harder the next week, and I lost 3 pounds. I know it is so frustrating. :drinker: Drink lots of water.

Everyone wrote excellent replies...I have to keep them all in mind when I just am so tired and want to quit. But you have done so well...DON'T QUITE!!!! Set small goals each day. Drinking 8 8oz glasses of water. Take a walk around the block. Keep it simple. Jo

Good for you!!!! I get so tired of making different meals. I just want to scream! You are doing it the right, smart and healthly way. Sometimes our spouses/friends/family don't like changes even when it is good for us. Keep strong and keep writing instead of eating. It helps. Jo

Thanks.

Tonight I did not feel like logging my food, because I know I went over. But then I thought...log it...otherwise you will stop all together. Not sure what made me look on the message board. But I am glad I did. Nice to know I'm not the only one struggling.

I joined about 5 days ago. I love the site. I have not been in any of the chat rooms, but starting that now. It is an eye opener to see how much calories and fat some items have in it. I have so much weight to loose that I keep forgetting it is a one day at a time. I just want it all off now.
