  • This is a huge reason for me too... well, when it really started to get out of control. My significant other of 10+ years cheated and got the girl pregnant, after years of telling me we weren't in the right place in our lives to start a family (that I very much wanted). He chose to go be with her, and my world was out of…
  • Not from stress, but I do have days where I am just so busy that food and eating doesn't even cross my mind until very late in the day. But even then, it's not a hungry feeling - more like, "Hmmm... I haven't eaten anything all day... maybe I should."
  • Most days I will have a Medium Iced Mocha/Caramel Swirl coffee with cream only from Dunkin Donuts. I refuse to give it up so it's gotta fit into my daily goals...
  • The Chipotle by my office is cheap... they definitely stick to the servings sizes they are supposed to, if not less. I always get burrito bowls and sometimes when you pick it up, it feels like there is hardly anything in there. (I usually just get rice, beans, fajita veggies and a protein...salsa on the side.) I have been…
  • I was with someone for 12 years before he cheated on me... he said it had nothing to do with my weight, but I will always believe it did. He made one too many comments over the years for me not to know it was an issue with him. Maybe I would have believed him if the person he cheated with wasn't much, much thinner/prettier…
  • Condiments, yes. Dry spices, no.
  • Routine definitely helps me stay on track, but I do give myself a couple different options so I feel like I still have choices. I have 2 breakfasts I choose from. I have 2 lunches I choose from. Dinner during the week is always grilled chicken, I just rotate vegetables. I have about 5 snack options to choose from (2 or 3…
  • I don't like the taste of the yolk in the form of scrambled eggs or omelettes. So if I am making something like that, I will just buy the egg whites in the carton to use. Occassionally, I will have a fried egg with really runny yolk to dunk my toast in. I'll also eat the yolk in a hard-boiled egg. Weird, I know. But…
  • I really am not a breakfast lover. But I will usually eat an english muffin with peanut butter (if craving carbs) or eggs whites with a little sausage or bacon (if I am in my low-carb zone).
  • I am 33, not married, no children. I would love to be a wife and mother, but I am starting to accept that it may not be in the cards for me. Sometimes, I am okay with that thought. Other times, it hurts. A lot. I was in a relationship with a guy for 12 years before he blew it up in an epic, Jerry Springer-like fashion.…
  • Several years ago, I lost close to 60 lbs in 12 weeks on a medically supervised diet. My starting weight was 290 lbs. I was on a very high protein/low everything else (calorie/carb/fat) plan. I was eating about 130 grams of protein a day (mostly in the form of shakes), 1,000 calories/day, and 10-15 g of fat. And drinkin…
  • The cruise was a blast last year! I can't wait for May...
