That's so interesting cuz I did my first class tonight! My sister raved about it and I wasnt that impressed... I could barely hear the girl on the mic and I felt it was a lot of turning and twisting without much cardio. Perhaps it depends on the prof!!!

Hey sweetie, 500 calories over isnt so bad!!! If you feel really unhappy about it, why not go for a 30 minute jog and burn it right off??? Otherwise, don't beat yourself up about it. If you had a very active day (lots of walking or moving around) its likely you have burnt them anyway. I am also an emotional eater and know…

Hi everyone, I am frankly so tired of this yoyo-ing in my diet. At 27 years of age, I am still not able to curb my emotional eating (binging when stressed). I have gone to an eating disorders group - 1 session - tried counselling - 3 sessions - looked through so many diets that just don't work!!! But I do love to…

I absolutely agree with you and have similar times. Except I do not really think about food so much. I just think about the pleasure I am going to get out of eating this or that. I wonder... is the food filling up a void for you? Why is it so much the center of your life? We eat to live, not live to eat - right? I wonder…

Has anyone ever tried counselling for overeating or any compulsive behavior??? I wonder. I heard Dr. Oz say on Oprah that it takes 21 days to break a bad habit. I never make it to 21 days so maybe that should be my goal!!! Thanks to all of you for your support... it really is so frustrating sometimes this challenge with…

After one full week of staying on track, feeling great, waking up in the morning energized... I came home one night, tired and stressed and ate everything in sight. And ever since, I have been on a binging cycle and gained 5 pounds since. I cant believe I am here again. It is crazy that I am determined for a few days,…

Morning everyone, This is my day 5 back on MFP, tracking calories and staying within my 1200 target. And let me tell you all, this feels SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO much better than the careless eating, guilt, bloated cycle that I often find myself within. After just 3 days of eating 3 balanced meals a day and one snack, I wake up…

Excellent! This is helpful - I like the idea of measuring until your eye gets a knack for it. Good point. Going to get some measuring cups and scale!!!

Hello everyone, I am off and on MFP and now I AM BACK!! I find that what sometimes frustrates me is the need to measure all my food. So I try to make approximations but it has occured to me that I could be way off. For instance, I had yellow beans in tomatoe based sauce with calamari for lunch today. I estimated that I ate…

Hi Sweetie, Your motivation is YOU! Imagine this... - You wake up feeling rested, strong and energized - All of the clothes in your closet not only fit but they look great on you - Finishing a workout feeling like you can do anything, strong, confident and proud. - When you walk around, you have a sense of confidence and…

Welcome welcome welcome!!! We all need to watch our habits - eating or otherwise so trust me, as human beings with all the stresses and temptations in our daily lives... we all "struggle". You are certainly not alone and I think that learning how to eat well has a lot to do with learning how to cope with your emotions and…

Quebec here!

There are days where I feel as though I can do it, I can lose the 15 pounds I want to lose and fit into my clothes again... and there are others where I forget about my body and feel so tired and frustrated that the first thing I want to do is eat eat eat... It is during those moments where things break down and I wonder…

I really just hope that one day I'll be one of those people who often says "no thanks, I am not hungry" when presented with yummy food and just to be able to listen to myself more.
-
Best of luck and welcome! :) I started myself just yesterday and am determined to stay on track. There is something really empowering about taking your life into your hands and no longer being overpowered by your emotions or whatever drives your need to eat. I highly encourage you to exercise - i personally am an exercise…

Hello all! I am 26, living in Canada, about 160 pounds and wanting to reach a target of 135 pounds - this has been a target for 3 years now and I am fed up with half of my wardrobe (actually more like 80% of it) not fitting and not wanting to buy new clothes! I am a compulsive eater and use food to make me feel better at…
-
Wow! Fabulous feedback! Thank you so much ladies... it always helps to hear other peoples' stories and their coping mechanisms. Thankfully, I love to work out and do so for an hour about 5 times a week and most people who see me don't think I have a weight problem... but i DO!!! I admire people's discipline and am never…

Hi everyone, It is my first day using this website and I am trying to get my weight under control. I am a compulsive eater and I know it - it goes through waves. Often times, my eating habits are an indicator for me that I am not feeling well or that I am stressed - I eat I eat I eat without even being hungry and it's not…
