Well for anyone still following this, I couldn't stop thinking about the great replies I got here and also just trying to wrap my head around this problem psychologically. I even talked to a few friends about how this. I finally realized what it is for me. I get annoyed at the idea of eating out because really, I feel like…

Definitely moderation is key. Exercise has become part of my normal routine and I definitely make an effort to exercise longer or go to the gym that day if I normally wouldn't if I know I'm going out that evening. I do take fruits and veggies and snacks with me a lot of times when I'm going to be gone all day. The struggle…

I have heard rock solid times not to eat after, as well as guidelines such as not eating within 3 hours of sleeping. I've also heard that it doesn't matter, calories in vs calories out (remembering that just because we log daily doesn't mean our bodies care about a daily log). I've flocked more to the last two, which is…

Thanks for the ideas. Those are two good ways to look at it! The outings are definitely about the socializing, or at least they should be anyway. I won't lie, I didn't get to be almost 300 lbs because I like to socialize, I got that way because I like to eat! I'm actually not so much of a social butterfly actually, so…

I agree, we definitely have to allow ourselves the odd treat. I certainly do that! :-) LOL But if I'm going to go out to a function 3-4 days in a row, I start to feel like I can't give myself a treat 3-4 days in a row LOL. And that is where the anxiety enters: I know if I'm going to have a busy week of dinners with…

Yeah I'm going to have to figure out how not to be bitter about not eating what I want or as much as I want. Usually when it's time to go out to a restaurant, I just get really agitated knowing that I'm going to have to go in there and be good when it's not what I want. I'm proud of myself that for the most part, I do the…

Yeah it seems eat more to lose more is key. You have to find what works for you, but that is a good place to start.

i don't love oatmeal. in fact, i hate oatmeal. i add dried cranberries, dried blueberries, fresh strawberries, fresh apple cubes, fresh blueberries, a little brown sugar, in no particular combination or order. I think of what I've tried, I least like raisins and will never do it again and most like the strawberries. It…

I'm 6'1" and 233 lbs. I'm down from 288 lbs but still have more to lose to be at healthy weight. My current goal is 200 lbs. It feels so far away. I think of how far and how long it has taken me to get here and on the one hand feel very proud and on the other hand feel very overwhelmed. I used to be very active, but knee…

I believe this too. My husband is also good and big and is pretty complacent and accepting of his weight. He loses weight when I am doing well with preparing healthy and weight conscious meals, but that's only 1 of his 2-3 meals a day. He says, "Our kids will eat healthy because they will eat what we make them eat and we…

Thanks to you all for the support. It's a long journey and certainly takes more time to lose the weight then it did to put it on! Nice to have people to go on the journey with.
