  • I actually have specific "work out undies" as a reward for X amount of weight loss!! I haven't decided exactly at what amount lost I'm going to put it yet (probably when my regular underwear starts getting big, haha) but it will happen! Probably something like the Moving Comfort Workout Bikini, but I still need to do some…
    in Ladies, odd but serious question?? Comment by ChronicOptimist June 2014
  • YES! Same with me!! I always bring home a tin of almonds or something to supplement the rabbit food that gets served at my parents house. Add to that my obesity, I always feel so shamed when I want to eat. Talk about awkward.

  • This is technically a beverage, but I always keep iced coffee on hand. I make a pot of coffee, pour it into a pitcher and just let it cool in the fridge. Serve over ice with about a half a cup of unsweetened vanilla almond milk and flavored sugar-free sweetener - delish! About 15 calories and totally tides me over.

  • I've just started, and I'm hoping to give up drinking at least through June and July. I'm a medical student and sometimes a glass of wine is just really handy after a rough day of classes. But who knows, after these two months, maybe I'll feel inspired to keep going!

  • I went twice to a very expensive hypnotherapist, and I don't think it worked for me at all. The first time maybe a little... the first time I'm pretty sure I'm had a pricy hour long nap on his couch while he listened to himself talk. Obviously different things work for different people, but it wasn't for me!

  • Thanks all for the excellent advice! I'm certainly not talking about doing ONLY juice, I'm thinking more about adding it as a supplement to my daily nutrition. It's not so much that I don't like to eat my vegetables, it's that I'm a TERRIBLE cook, and while I have friends and family who can prepare veggies that are both…
