I highly recommend you read "The End of Overeating"...its a wonderful book, and will explain, in simple detail, exactly why you crave the foods you crave. It played a significant role in my changing my relationship with food, enabling me to achieve my weight loss.

I entered my actual highest weight when I joined MFP, because I wanted to track my weight loss from the beginning (5 May, 2012). I tracked my diet and exercise in a paper journal for about 6 months before switching to MFP, so the process didn't change...just the method of tracking. I started at 354 lbs, and am currently at…

I'm about 7.5 months post-op, having been "sleeved" in June. I'm currently averaging around 800 calories/day, and burning between 700-1100 calories (at the gym) 4 times a week. I track my protein and carb intake, as well as overall calories, and aim for 80-90 grams of protein/day, and fewer than 35 grams of carbs/day.…

I realize my situation is different from that of many, but...after having a form of weight loss surgery (back in June), I have been averaging about 650-700 calories per day, while going to the gym 6 days a week (and burning between 1100 and 1500 calories each day). I am never hungry...have completely lost that…

I, too, am a "non-cheater." I log everything I eat, regardless. On holidays, or other times when we're having a meal with a large group of friends or family, I choose things that are appropriate for me...protein and maybe a little non-starchy veggies...and leave the rest for everyone else. I always take things with me,…

If you're a reader, I highly recommend "The End of Overeating.". It may help you change your relationship with food, in general, and sugar, in particular. Especially as it relates to processed foods. I don't eat anything with added sugars (including the hidden demon, corn syrup), and rarely eat fruit (except for…

Sometimes the best (and only) thing you can do is to model good behavior. Make healthy food choices, go to the gym regularly....do what you need to do to get healthier. She will notice, and eventually she will see the results. Maybe that will motivate her to get back on the wagon with you...and you won't run the risk of…
