Congratulations on controlling your binges. There is nothing more empowering than to be able to have control over this (instead of realizing in the middle of bingeing what you are doing, and then getting mad and frustrated at yourself). Keep up the great attitude!

Congratulations!! You inspire me. Keep up the great work!:smile:

Take it one day at a time. You may want to fast, but you do not have to do a strict fast.... do a fast from fat where you eat only vegetables, fruit, and healthy fat. When you feel the urge to overeat, allow yourself to "feel", truly "feel" what you are feeling inside. This will allow you to realize if you really want to…

Congratulations on achieving your goal!! You are an inspiration! I am proud of your accomplishment; and you look amazing and happy! :happy:

I used a "free" supper last night, as I attended a fundraising event for the Boys and Girls Club in our area. I went over my calories by about 400, as breakfast and lunch were in the lower 200's and were healthy foods, plus an 80 cal. snack (supper was right around 1,000 cals. If I would have eaten just what they served…

What does NSV mean (I am somewhat of a newbie). Thank you in advance.

Congratulations!! I am proud of your accomplishment. I do not ever remembering be in single digits, as I know I was size 12 in 9th grade. You are an awesome inspiration! :happy:

Travis: thank you for sharing. As a "cradle Catholic", I have never known a year without experiencing Lent. I am always interested in hearing from non-Catholics that they also take time during this very holy time of year to grow in their spiritual life, as well as to deepen their relationship with Jesus Christ. I hold you…

For my official weigh in for the week, I weigh every Friday morning after I get out of bed and use the restroom. I also take 3 measurements: hip, waist, and mid-section. There are times that I may not lose weight, but I lose in the measurements. :smile: Recently, I have been weighing myself every morning, but not…

A "trick" I have started to use: in the evening when you feel like snacking, brew a cup of tea made from a tea bag of herbal fruit tea (I prefer apple cinnamon, and I generally do not like herbal fruit teas) and a tea bag of decaf green tea (bigelow is the brand I like best - not sure if I spelt is correctly). Let it brew…

Hello, everyone. I am soooo excited about this group. My name is Brenda, and I grew up in Montana (where my heart remains), but the Air Force took us to S. Dakota, and then to Washington state, where I currently live. Since I am naming states, I should say that my husband is from Iowa. I have three great kids, ages 25, 23,…

Here is a high protein option for tuna-salad sandwich. Mix 1/2 cup tuna fish (in water) with 1/2 cup low-fat cottage cheese. Dependent upon how much carbs I want, I will simply eat the mix without bread, or I will spread it on 1 slice of whole wheat or a high grain bread, or I could spread it on 2 slices of the bread.…

I would enjoy hearing what types of meals/foods you do this with. I use to eat prepared store-bought frozen meals, and found that all of the additives were not worth trying to eat these; and the amount of calories I ate for the amount of food I got was crazy when I compared how much more food I can get from a home-cooked…

I buy the frozen chicken from Costco. I place about 6 chicken breasts in a baking/cake pan, and season to your liking (garlic powder, onion powder, lemon pepper or pepper). Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Bake about 45 minutes on one side, and then turn and bake for about 20 to 30 minutes (I like to make sure they are…

I am also getting back into using this sight after being away for about 8 months. I will be here to support you, too. And, I could use some support!!

Thank you for starting this group. It is so frustrating to not have someone understand what I am talking about when I say that I am an emotional eater. It will be nice to be a blabbermouth and get my feelings out, instead of feeding them. :wink:

Two victories this week: On Friday night my daughter brought home a bag of Reese's Peanut Butter cups, full size; and I did not have an urge to eat them. I even got teary-eyed when I told my husband what I did. Then, tonight, she had that dang bag on the kitchen counter. I grabbed it, dropped it in her lap, and said, "keep…

I have to say that I think this is a "huge one"!! This is a GREAT VICTORY in my books. Good job!!

Just joined tonight. I look forward to coming here for support, encouragement, advice, etc., as well as to give it. I live in Washington state.

Thank you for sharing this. Many people do not think about some of the little things that we can give up during Lent. Maybe doing some of these little things during this holy time of year will become a habit and we will joyfully continue them through the year! St. Therese the Little Flower offered up (gave up) the little…

I was not a water drinker, either. I found that the less pop I drank and the more I made myself drink water, I came to enjoy the water more. I also tend to drink more water when I drink it from a straw. One other tidbit: I do have well water (which I think tastes so much better than "city" water. So, since I cannot stand…

In 2011 I had lost 20 lbs mainly through diet of eating an increase of fruits and vegetables and exchanging white breads/pastas for whole grains, then hit a "roadblock" and gained it all back. Over the past 3 months I have been doing a lot of research and my uneducated, personal conclusion is that besides calories, some…

Hi have been drinking green tea for about 3 years.... off and on. I have found that I do not like most brands. I have found the brand "Salada" is pretty tolerable as a hot tea; and I do not add anything to it. If you like lemon, you might want to try to squeeze a few drops in. As with most things, the more you drink/eat…
