I have the same problem with binges, so I try to keep them scaled back with planning. I can keep on track for a long time and then, boom! I agree that it feels like my body might be lacking something which is what lead to the binge in the first place. I also have the guilt later and push myself for the extra workouts. By…

Tomorrow's a new day. Don't sweat it unless you've been over days in a row. For the alcohol, it actually opens up your taste buds making you want to eat more. I try not to drink, unless with dinner so that I can curb those cravings! If I drink after dinner I always end up eating something I wish I hadn't....

That is perfect advice. They really are all the rage... easy to dress up or down with some nice flats or embellished sandals. If a night wedding, you could easily pull a color from the dress print for a wrap to keep you warm.

Shoot... you mean feather earrings aren't still hot? I do still own some.... seriously. :laugh: :laugh:

OMG! This was me, only my hair was so over permed that I looked like a poodle if it wasn't in that silly side ponytail. :laugh: :laugh: I never quite grew out of that... in high school I would buy clothes at Goodwill and "fix" them. Crazy colored patchwork inserts down the sides of my jeans with waaay too many plastic…

I used to be really skinny in high school. Then came college and I was so busy (and lazy) that I never cooked and would eat whatever, whenever. Needless to say I gained 20 lbs in college and then another 10 lbs my first year out because I was cooking again and everything tasted soooo much better than those processed foods.…

Ah man! I hate it when I do that! I'm always mixing up the numbers on those tiny labels too! Guess our brains want things to be lighter than they really are :laugh: Good luck with the rest of your day :flowerforyou:

Special K Chocolaty Delight and Cinnamon Life cereal are both really yummy and better for you. Would your kids eat cereal with fresh berries? Rice Crispies or Corn Flakes with fresh berries was always a huge treat for my brother and I growing up. My mom knew I'd eat anything that I got to help cook because I could leave…

Yay! I LOVE games... easily addicted to Game Show Network too :tongue: Apples to Apples rocks! Jenga Name Burst Scrabble and Upwords Hi Ho Cherry O (I have great memories playing with my dad for real cherries) Yahtzee! Life Suduku Wheel of Fortune (electronic)

When I was in college I tried this. It worked fine when I only used it for breakfast. When I used it for lunch I would feel really tired in the afternoons and cranky. That aside, when I went back to eating those meals, I most definately gained the weight back double. If you're going to take any diet drinks, meal…

oooh, that sounds so good. I'm going to put them on my list of things to try. Thanks!:flowerforyou:

Same here... can't find them. Haven't tried the little health food stores yet. The nachos and 'dan good chili' in the book were excellent!

What women doesn't have a hard time finding clothes that fit? The problem is that there are no global sizing standards.... I've even found men's jeans that were supposed to be a 34 waist and they actually measured 37".... is it poor quality or vanity sizing? Probably both. You can't even count on certain brands having any…

Driving up the coast to a car show in Santa Maria, CA. My old car is still in pieces so I won't be showing. :cry: Excited to be camping though! Let's just hope it doesn't rain or you'll see us in our tent, floating down the 101. :laugh:

When I make pans of goodies like this I immediately portion the pan. Then put each portion in a ziplock bag and hide them in the cupboard. It's amazing how well this works.... I eat the whole pre-portioned bag and most days I'm ok with just that. I think it's something mental about... "hey, it's gone. shoot" and not seeing…

Yes! I :heart: Alton's show! Did you see him making the buffalo wings in the steamer and then baking them? They looked so good, but who's got that kind of time? Paula Deen's food looks good, but it's the kind of good I only want to see at Grandma's house on the Holidays :laugh: All that butter! :tongue:

It's actually really easy if you buy the Maseca. You could make them completely from scratch and grind the corn but that's alot of time and know how.... :tongue: All you do is follow the water to Maseca radio listed on the bag. Form the dough into little balls and press flat between 2 pieces of waxed paper (waxed paper is…

Gah! Scary stuff there. Glad to stick with my water and black coffee.

I'm with you on that! Only way to go for some real smoky flavors! I love to make corn on the cob. Leave the husk on and it will steam the corn naturally. We do alot of kabobs.... tomato, zuccini, onion, potoato, green pepper... diced and skewered drizzle them in olive oil mixed with basil, cumin, and pepper. The best is…

The favorite around here is to save the bone from the holiday ham and throw it into a soup. Our mini crock pot isn't big enough for leftovers! Ham bone soup 1 ham bone 1/2 cup leftover ham, cubed 1 cup mixed veggies... carrots, corn, zucchini, onion, peas 1 can chicken broth 1 cup water... or to the top of the crock 1 bay…

I'm a technical designer/ coordinator at a clothing company. Basically I'm responsible for seeing that the patterns are getting done on time and to the contractors. Also responsible for checking and sending corrections on the fit of all the garments.

It's good until it comes back on your 2008 taxes.... :grumble: Mine (whenever it shows up) is going into sheet metal for fixing the floors in my '59 dodge! No more Fred Flintstone-ing it for me! ha! :bigsmile:

Last summer my bf and I finished building my bike. We love to search the swap meets for old parts so I have a pieced together 1952 Schwinn straight bar. I added a messengers basket and we were off. We've been riding together on the weekends, it's so fun. Do a search online for local bike clubs. We join up with one that…

I love this! Here we go... ...... Dear Kitty, I love that you like to cuddle up with me at night. However it is not necessary to lie on my face and sneeze in my ear. It is also not necessary to lie on my knees when I need to get up in the morning.... speaking of which, standing atop the tv at 5am and meowing at the top of…

First time I met my bf's crazy aunt. I say that because she says the rudest things to everyone about everything... she asked if I was pregnant, and of course I told her I wasn't. But then she kept pushing it for days saying 'well you look pregnant to me.' She even went so far to tell my bf's little nephews and nieces to…

Los Angeles, CA :love: But home is Minnesota. No, I don't miss the snow!

Thanks for the post! It's a good motivator to see others having the same struggles, yet suceed. I'm in stage 4.... scary how accurate your post is. :flowerforyou:

I usually cook a little extra food the night before so my bf and I can bring in some leftovers for lunch. Usually it's stuff like baked chicken or pork, rice and beans. We always pack fruit to go along. We save sooo much money (and unwanted cals) by just bringing leftovers! If you don't have access to a refrigerator,…

I have the same TaeBo video. At first, it was really hard for me too. :blushing: Keep at it! Walk in place through the parts you can't do, do the exercises slower than on the vid, but just don't stop. If you just keep trying, it will get easier and before you know it, you'll know exactly what to do when. Just takes…

I had a slip up today too. Went to El Pollo Loco with some co-workers for lunch. Figured a chicken quesadilla couldn't be too bad until I looked it up later... 600 calories, and it was tiny! At least I'm the wiser now and tomorrow is a new day.
