  • Go to a store and try on things you like without that mental filter of "oh, I could never wear that." See what you like and what you don't like! Get a friend to go with you-- it'll make that last part easier :) Just looking at your picture, you have great curves! I think you have the figure to pull of skinny jeans, too,…
  • I think you've said all that you need to know. You need something between all or nothing, and MyFitnessPal is a great tool for teaching BALANCE. Some people in the forums will tell you that you should be doing all or nothing- but it doesn't have to be that way. I'm a firm believer that for ME, if I do all or nothing, I'm…

  • I wouldn't call what I've been doing self-sabotaging, but I'm not letting myself buy into my success yet. I won't let myself throw out the clothes that are too big "just in case" I fall off the wagon. I won't let myself buy too many of the smaller sizes "just in case." I won't buy a new swimsuit "just in case" I'm not…
  • I think it works a little differently for everyone, but here's how I feel. I don't want to to a cheat day or cheat meal on a "schedule." I don't say that every Saturday or every Sunday is my cheat day- but I do let myself eat when there's a reason. For example, when I went to NYC for a long weekend, or when it was my…
