i was at the mall looking for fudge or chocolate something, so expensive, so ended up going to subway for choc cookie and ate 1/2. Seems like halfing stuff is really helping me, dont feel deprived.

my goal is for Dec 26 and not gain any weight! Right now I am there but I can easily go up and down a couple of pounds. I have been known to gain 7-8 lbs over the holidays. Wow it is hard this time of year but I am determined. I eat 1/2 of any high cal cake or dessert. If I make it, it will be the first time not to gain…

love this post! Today is a snow day and snow days are my triggers. Decided to have baked cabbage with garlic and butter and bacon for dinner and had frozen pizza and took the toppings off and put on my low carb bread because I do low carb. Usually I am eating all that pizza bread and cakes and junk on snow days. Now headed…

any emotion makes me want to eat. Lonely,depressed, sad, and yes sick. Today I had a stomach ache and I wanted to eat salty stuff. I didn't. I drank a coke and that settled my stomach. Someone told me to eat I would feel better. No, makes me feel worse.

I got a stomach ache and I always turn to food. Not today, I said a coke will settle my stomach. I wanted salty chips, etc. My emotions make me think I want food whether I am lonely, frustrated, depressed, sick. Someone must have told me food would make me feel better. It does the opposite. Bad habit I didnt do today.

5'4, 160 lbs, wear size 12

you really look good, enjoy being young and wear that stuff!

I have never in my life not gained over the holidays. This year is going to be the first. I made up my mind. I have not gained any so far over Thanksgiving. I am eating treats but not Papa Bear portions. I am weighing every day. I love low carb, it works so good for me. My weight has been off for about 3 years. 40 lbs.…

I feel happy again.

wow what a difference! yes you look better the older you get, I am sure people will tell you this. How did you do it? exercise, low carb, small portions?

I had xmas cookies, ate 6, should have eaten 4 but I did give the rest away to teens next door, which is a win win. I wanted to throw the rest away but husb hates that I do that. (he was brought up poor). Anyway next time I am not telling him and throwing them away! I then wanted bagels and you can buy 2 mini at dunkin…

lost sadness and depression, lost a dysfunctional relationship, food. win win

I am so sorry you have been thru so much especially as a child. I am so glad I never dealt with that but my Mom and Dad were very narcisstic and not there for me especially when I went thru a divorce and needed them so. They were so mean to me about my weight but really I think they are most of the reason for it, they were…

I watch my carbs and a new mindset, finally realize how food has caused me so much sadness and depression. So I dont need all that food!

I feel like I am on a diet always. I am also on a budget with my money. I can't go and buy whatever I want and I can't go and eat whatever I want. I know, not fair. I just have the mindset I want to care enough about me to keep this weight off! I dont want to be in debt and I dont want to be fat.

omg, how much did you lose? You look great, I think it is funny we change our hair when we lose weight!

to not gain any weight over the holidays, that would be a first!

i think I will always have to and weigh also, been 2 1/2 years, pain but more of a pain to gain it back.

yes I like Rebel but expensive. I tried Breyers low carb ice cream which is cheaper. $3.50 for big thing of it, choc was so creamy and good.

What a difference, how much did you lose and how long did it take you?

for me carbs are the devil. When I started eating 100 gr or less of carbs, my weight came off and I am not as hungry.

you look great, a lot of work!

what a difference, never heard of the drinking at the end of meal, will try that. No, dont gain it back, I weigh every day so I notice if I start slipping.

I made soup last night and did not go back for seconds. That is a biggie for me. Trying to never do seconds, why did I do it anyway, bad habit. I was not hungry, if it looks good I usually eat it but not tonight.

I am staying 161-162, dirn I want the 150's, even 159 hopefully by the holidays.

i know, if I get off my routine, it is like I can get fat fast. Not fair but the way it is, so back to my healthy routine again! I feel ya.

I had a dress on and someone says you have lost weight. I have had my weight off for 2 years so that was a compliment. I dont wear dresses often.

I have a hard time throwing food away but here lately I have been eating some of my food and if I dont want it Throw that stuff away! I did it with a biscuit this morning, ate only 1/2 and with a choc nut sundae, ate just some of it. Better to throw it away than eat it, finally getting it thru my head!

Nikon pal, oh my, that took a lot of discipline. So you think sugar contributed to most of your weight gain? Or was it emotional eating?

me too, I got down to 156 one time then back up to 160-162
