happyjacks ... We may have been separated at birth! LOL! Glad to know i'm not alone. It's just that doughnuts are so tasty with a cup of coffee and if I work out, all junk food should not count ... at all. In my world, anyway. : )

I'm Meg ... 30-ish, 5'8 and 183 lbs. 140 lbs is, I think, a good goal. I've had 2 children, so I know that changes things a bit. Really, I'd love to be 135. Secret wish! Anyway, my goal right now is to lose between 10 and 15 lbs by early October, and to have all of it off by July of 2012. We're in a super stressful time…

Sounds great! Count me in!

Porkchop. It's my brother's neighbor's dog's name, but it cracks. me. up!

I feel your pain. My oldest in particular thinks that when I'm doing a DVD it's "20 questions" time. I solved it by getting a kids workout DVD and doing it with her, but throwing a few squats, etc, in.

I'm glad you posted this. It's hard to be honest about it. I have the same reality. I watched my mother suffer horribly from food and exercise addiction, and I've been lying to myself that I don't have the same problem, but I have it and worse. I was thinking about it tonight, after another food stashing incident. I make…

Thanks for posting this. I'm really struggling with emotional eating, and the article was helpful. Especially the part about eating with your non-dominant hand! :smile:

I'm really fitting this in under the wire! Starting weight: 170 Weight goal: 155 Mini Goal: To feel really great in my clothes when we go on vacation at the end of August! :glasses: I'm a SAHM to a very, very active 2 year old, which means I fit plenty of movement into my day, but that I also often eat her leftovers, grab…
