It's important to figure out what is driving you to self-destruct in the first place, and find a way to address that. I found that addressing the emotions behind my disordered eating has helped me to begin building a better relationship with food. Also, if you have a day when you eat significantly over your allotted…

There's been a lot said about my weight, mostly when I was in my teens thru mid-20s (when I was overweight but not quite obese). Three things stick out in particular: - My dad harped on my weight a lot as a kid. In retrospect, I wasn't that big - maybe 10 lbs overweight. But I understood it because my dad was morbidly…

I think you need to reread the OP. The instructor didn't kick her out of the class, she just didn't run over to her when she strolled in a quarter of the way through class. There is nothing rude or disrespectful about what the instructor did. It was not "treating her like dog chit." However, considering it's not high…

In high school, I megadosed on Metabolift (off-brand Metabolife) at the urging of a boyfriend. I felt awful after doing that for a short while and had to stop. I also drank Kombucha tea with my mom - it tasted like warm vinegar, so of course you won't want to eat after that! I tried some chitosan liquid while in college -…

OP - thank you for sharing your story. As someone with a lot of weight to lose, it's inspiring to me. Getting to hundreds of pounds overweight tends to be a process, and so does losing it, and that includes dealing with the emotions that led to the weight gain. It's inspiring to see you share that, and how you've been able…

In my region if the country, we put chili on hot dogs and top it with mild cheddar, or over pasta. My DH sometimes makes chili-stuffed tomatoes - literally baked tomato stuffed with chili. It's both healthier than the other uses for chili I mentioned and it tastes awesome. I imagine that stuffing tomatoes with bbq chicken…

For me, it's mostly health. Vanity has historically been a demotivator for me. When I was a kid I was bullied a lot for my weight. I also faced a lot of romantic rejection as a teen and young adult for my size. I always felt that losing weight for vanity's sake would mean that those who couldn't accept me as I was were…

100% agree - from someone who has a graduate degree and an upwardly mobile career and is obese.

For me, the motivation to lose weight is a few things taken together: - I'm 33 and would feel awful every morning as I would wake up with aches and pains. I shouldn't feel like this in my 30s. - I want to have children and I have PCOS. I need to make a lifestyle change to regulate my hormones and increase the possibility…

My DH used to. When I was on WW he would have a habit of buying a bunch of candy and other sweets, and going to McDonalds down the street and getting me food there. I don't think he necessarily meant to sabotage me, but it wasn't helping. He stopped when he stepped on the scale for the first time in a couple of years and…
