  • I literally have had this same situation happen to myself today at lunch and feel awful about it. I know exactly what you mean and have struggled just as hard. You can do it and just allow yourself to eat certain foods that you crave (for me pasta and a little chocolate) every once in a while, but just make sure not to go…
  • Try eating single helpings of vegetables (ie carrots, celery, cherry tomatoes, etc.) and maybe even with a little ranch dressing to dip it into. Or single servings of fruit or nuts (ie. almonds, cashews - as long as they don't have tons of salt on them or are honey roasted). They are calories no matter what but they tend…
  • Good way to make sure the numbers are right on something you have packaged....scan the barcode using your smart phone! This helps me with even making something up off the fly because I can scan each individual item and then it's my brand/amounts according to what I'm physically making for that meal. Helps tons....OH…
  • Trying to eat healthy/work out/live a healthier lifestyle is a change in your entire life....it's not something that you just do for a couple months, reach a goal, and then go back to your old habits.

  • That's the kind of stuff my boyfriend says to me when we get to visit too and it does make you feel like a million bucks. Ya people you work with or family may say you look good and all that, but there's nothing better than the one you love most telling you how awesome you look. Keep up the great work and brag…
  • Hey, I just started this a couple months ago and have seen great results. I'm just at 5'8" and started this process at 195lbs. I'm now down to about 173 and my goal is about 155-160. I was at a size 14 in pants, but now am about a size 10-12. It is possible to get lower than your goal but its hard to say if that's too big…
  • I work with mostly men at a Sheriff's Department and the guys who work in my individual office don't help my self-control on eating out a lunch. In fact, my boss is in pretty good shape and has that metabolism where he can eat whatever he wants, even in his early 50s and still be healthy. Whenever I say I'm dieting and…
