I think I started binging when I was thirteen. I say "think" because I believe I have had an unhealthy relationship with food since birth. My Mom was a food/cigarette abuser who passed some of her habits on to me. Luckily I don't smoke. :smile: There are often periods of my life when I binge multiple times per day, and I…

There are many things that I have done to help control the binges with some of these foods. I have found if I pre-portion out these foods then I will tend not to binge on them. I used snack baggies to portion out 12 almonds to each. I use the smidget tupperware containers to portion out 1 tablespoon of peanut butter, and…

I will be turning 41 in December, and I am always looking to add new friends. Good luck on your journey to better health!

What an inspiration!! You look great and so much happier and healthier!! You GO girl!!

Congrats!!! I would love to be able to enjoy Bridge Day some day. My husband and I have come down to your area to raft the Gauley River this time of year, but have yet to be there during Bridge Day. Awesome day for you!!

Put a really strong mint in your mouth, so that you have the "just brushed your teeth" feeling when you go into that store. Each time that you are able to stay in control, the easier it does get.

Good luck and have a great time!! Remember that you have put in all that hard work and it will feel awesome to cross that finish line!

I have completed 4 trail half marathons. I read the "Running for Mortals" by John "The Penguin" Bingham. I can't think of the other 2 books in this series, but they were very helpful. Good luck!! :)

All your hard work is paying off!! You look great!! Is that Arches National Park in your weight ticker? I have been there twice, and I am proud to say that I was one of the three of our group that was physically able to hike to Delicate Arch. It was so worth it!!!!!! Love that park!!

Thanks for the inspiration!!!!!!!!!! You look amazing!!!!!!!!

Wow!! Your hard work is showing!!:smile:

Girl, you are stunning!! Good luck running your first half marathon next year!!! Nothing beats crossing that finish line. Thanks for the inspiration!!

Always looking for some new friends. I try to keep to 1200-1250 calories per day. Good luck to everyone on their journey!!!!

I was just thinking along these same lines today!! I was born heavy into a very heavy family who all turn to food for comfort. What has saved me is the man that I married. He helped get me moving. I remember one of the first hikes that we were on, and he told me that I could do anything that I set my mind to and that I…

Check out the Title Nine website. They have several different brands of bras that have been "test driven" by real women and then rated. I use the Last Resort bra from Enell.

1 lb. lean ground turkey 1/2 c. old-fashioned dry oats 1 egg 3/4 c. diced raw onion 2 tsp. worchestershire sauce 1/2 tsp. crushed red pepper Mix all, slap into a 9x13 baking dish, cover with tinfoil, and bake at 350 degrees for 45 minutes.

I know what is it like to let food control your thoughts. I was born overweight and am finally getting a handle on my food issues. I have read the "Beck Diet Solution" book and gone through the accompanying workbook. I also follow the Beck Diet Solution on Facebook for daily tips. There is light at the tunnel. You can get…

Thanks for all the ideas! :smile:
