I am an emotional eater myself and do suffer from binging. What I do is keep trigger foods out of the house so when drama surfaces its not there. Now as far as you going out and go getting it is another story. One thing I do is get of MFP and read success stories and remember why I am here....to try and manage my life in a…

"Where did your boobs go?!!!! You have nothing to put in your bikini now!":sad:

veggie burger with low fat honey mustard, onions, and pepperjack cheese ! :) I really enjoy Red Robins Veggie burgers with sweet potato fries....yum o !:drinker:

I can't sleep without socks on :)

I love love love my elliptical! Its easy on the joints esp if you have problems. I enjoy mine b/c i have back issues and things like treadmills aggravate my back. I use it all the time and have achieved my weight loss goals with it along with circuit training. To me its more bang for your buck. Esp if you get one that…

You will find different machines will give you different numbers. I decided to go with a HRM and use it to gauge my activities. Its stingy but at least you know its more accurate.

I lost 20 lbs and went from a lovely 36 D to a 34C. I have to say I wasn't too happy with this change. I was really enjoying my D's since I had my last baby. Before kids I was a 34 C and went back down after each pregnancy. But when that last bit of weight came off, back to my C they went. I was hoping to keep them a…

December 7th...Bombing of Pearl Harbor :( Can;t ever forget that !:noway:

I find myself as well going down the binge downward spiral when i restrict myself to the point of not ever allowing myself to have "IT". I have been practicing slowly allowing trigger foods back into my daily life but in moderation. Its been slow, but it has been working. There are still some foods I will never bring into…

Get naked and stay naked more often :) A new wardrobe of course as well! Hot mamma here I come !:love:

That's great! That was such an inspiring story! I know there are days I get mad at myself b/c I can't fit into my old clothes or wish I had a smaller frame to wear certain cuts of clothes like "skinny" jeans. Um..don't know if it will ever happen but trying to just feel good about myself and what progress I have made.…

Halloween is always a disaster for me when it comes to binging. I even waited 3 days before halloween before I bought candy to resist the temptation. But when all 3 boys came home with a truckload of candy from trick or treating I felt so left out....so I ate a few twizzlers. My binge candy is chocolate...so I thought I…

Its been almost 2 months since my last binge but t boy did I feel like it yesterday. Family and school stress makes me want to shovel down food esp chocolate! My last binge consisted of pizza and half of a chocolate sheet cake! I started out making cake for my child's bday...and just got consumed on how much I missed…

I'm 30 with 3 kids. I'm a SAHM and student! Pretty soon I will have a career and will be even busier than ever. It's amazing how ur metabolism starts to slow down after having kids! I'm still trying to get back. Feel free to add me.

I have been a chronic binge eater since a young age. It was a learned behavior and them it turned into an emotional/stress issue. I would always exercise tons to avoid the weight gain. Then life started slowing down a bit with having kids and college and had less time to exercise. The weight started sticking....bad habits…

I am so rocking this at Thanksgiving! I bake like crazy for the holidays...no one will know its low calorie :) I love having other options for those of us who try to watch the sweets. One slice of true cheesecake is just devastating as far as calories and fat :( Having other options I can bake allows me to be in my element…

Cheese and chocolate! They make the world go round!

OK I have the same issues. Right now Halloween candy is killing me. ITS EVERYWHERE! I refuse to buy any until the day before b/c I binge on sweets. The worst part of it is that I love to bake and am very good at it and now I have to do it in extreme caution not to over eat what I make. Its really hard. I'm doing good if I…

BA in biology with a CJ minor. I love science esp microbiology! Heading to the field of forensics :)

I can't stand icky, sticky, crunchy, greasy things on my skin esp on my hands. I constantly wash and sanitize my hands if I feel the slightest bit dirty. Which means I have to counter act the dry skin with a lotion that doesnt drive me crazy :) Oh....and maggots!

Totally! Having three kids and a college student had lead me into the wonderful world of coffee addiction. I love to taste different flavors and look forward to it every day. I'm ill without it ;)

Laser hair removal :) Worth every penny!

I have two ruptured discs in my back and constantly deal with spasms and nerve pain. Its challenging to stay moving but you have to modify your workout so that way its not as bad. I do low impact cardio and circuit training and then stretch at least twice a day and use a muscle relaxer at night. This seems to help some. As…

I think part of of me will miss eating without caring about the nutritional content. When you are naive about it, there is no guilt to eating it. Now that I know and log everything, I am over cautious now and actually feel guilty for anything not healthy. And when I do, I'm hard on myself. But I tell myself "you can eat…

I'm 5 4" and 130 right now at a size 9/10. My goal weight is 120 and a size 8. I have had 3 kids so I will never fit into those smaller sizes some of these other girls are in at that weight. I'm pear shaped and am all hips and butt. Its amazing how different our bodies are at this height and weight but fit into all these…

Yea..I was told I had a ghetto booty! I'm white by the way.

YES! I use it in coffee, and tea, and some sweet treat recipes. Love it!

I confess that even though I have 3 healthy boys, I wished that one of them was a girl Each time hoping I would have one...it failed :( I confess it really ticks me off to see people have one of each child and they are this one big happy family, and I sit there and wonder if I would have had anymore kids if I had gotten my…

Let us all know how the surgery goes. I am considering it in a couple of years and would like to know if the pain and result was worth it. I am defin gonna shop for surgeons though.

OMG I have lived with 2 alcoholic parents ALL MY LIFE and it sucked! I always wondered if they were going to get home ok from a restaurant we would go to or a family get together. I was almost killed in a car accident b/c my drunk mother drove all three of us kids down the wrong side of the ****ing road. We were left home…
