I struggled with this myself very recently. In winter, I was put on a different medication for awhile, that even while on my better eating plan and working out, made me gain weight. When I finally got my doctor to switch me to a different medication and got the first one out of my system, I had gained back nearly half of…

I fell into some of the same. I got this thought in my head that I would never really succeed, so why bother...and then spent days eating badly and not tracking everything. It was a bad decision. I began to feel awful, even made myself sick, because I wasn't doing what my body needed. And the whole "loss is false thing" --…

(For the first few week of trying that, I actually put post-it…

My reaction to lots of stress was wine and chocolate a few months ago. Thankfully, I've been able to re-program my habits. Now if it is "angry" kind of stress I do some kickboxing, and if it "upset" kinda stressed I go for a long walk and pray. I have to say, that both make me feel way better than the wine and chocolate…

Someone at work told me they can tell I've lost weight. That is the first time someone outside of my parents has made a comment. Made me feel good.
