Thanks for all the tough love and advice. I know I have a long emotional/psychological/spiritual road to go down. I'm going to start with yoga and monitoring the glycemic index of my foods and work from there. I appreciate the support and welcome any friend requests. I think being involved in a community of people making…

I am also on metformin and feel like my body has acclimated to it and I'm not getting the benefits I did briefly. I have no advice but will be watching this thread for answers. Thanks for posting.

Pork tostada with onion, spinach, Greek yogurt. I pan-fry the pork chop and the corn tortilla.

"Super low" might border on a lie- I had a baked potato yesterday and it was amazing, and I also had a couple of corn tortillas (not the best choice). For me, it's the processed, refined, simple carbs that are the devil's own food. Lol.

Girl, greek yogurt is my lifesafer. I just had a bowl of chicken tortilla soup (no tortillas- carb free so far today!) with a heaping tablespoon of greek yogurt. I use 0% Plain, and I use it in place of sour cream as well as with honey or fruit for sweets cravings. That's a super super food. I have had the most success…

As soon as I ate carbs, the cravings came back. I find that a good rule…

Eep! So many October weddings! Mine too- October 25, 2014. I'm coming up on 7 years with my DF, two of them spent engaged, four of them spent living together. He definitely loves me at all sizes, but I'm not thinking the dress or the photographer will be so forgiving. NOT TO MENTION my incredibly skinny, model-beautiful,…

Hey girl! I definitely know where you're coming from- except my DF (husband in October) is even more maddening in that he doesn't care about food or eating a lot. I don't know if that's more maddening. It would drive me crazy if he could eat a whole pizza every day like a lot of guys and not gain weight. And it's actually…

Thanks for the replies! Michelle- I have wondered about juicing. Please keep me updated on your progress. I think I might definitely do some sort of raw food detox soon. I feel like my body could use a good clean-out. I just hate being stalled. I moved states recently and it's been all stress and take-out food, so I could…
