You know, I feel the same way. I'm not sure if its because I don't want them all up in my business, or because I feel like I will have more candid conversations with people here, but having the ability to just leave the people in my life out of this makes me a lot happier! It also circumvents them associating any previous…

THIS ^^^^^ made me smile so much! I'm so glad we're in a place where we can admit this stuff and find people who understand!

Anything that is bite-size and has 150 cal or less per serving and lets me have 10-15 pieces. Eating the pieces one at a time makes me feel like I am eating for longer, which helps me feel satisfied. My choices include animal crackers, raisins, grapes, nuts, carrots, trail mix, etc!

Some great suggestions here already! Pre-logging, pre-measuring serving sizes, and working out my daily menu to include the things I want have ALL worked well for me! Some people can just quit things cold turkey, but it takes me some time to work up to a high level of healthy eating, especially when I'm trying to cook…

I have a sewing machine, so I have been looking up ways to alter my old clothes and make them like new again! Not just taking in but also converting! Pinterest has been a great resource for ideas on how to recycle my 'fat' clothes into a newer, better fitting wardrobe, which is all the reward without spending too much…

Nice to meet you! Request sent :) I can always use more supportive friends, and like to be there for my MFP buddies!

Fun! :)

I have to battle a junk food enabler in my workplace, and it gets sooooo hard, especially when the 3pm slump hits and I want a quick sugar fix! She is always offering even though she knows I am trying to eat better, it makes me kinda mad! My best weapon for her offerings is to ALWAYS have something on hand that I LIKE to…

Your body retains water around the time of your cycle, which leads to a bloated feeling for a lot of women. I tend to weigh up to 5lbs more right around my period, which used to really freak me out, until I realized the correlation! When weighing myself around that time I try to keep the extra weight in mind, and always…

http://www.nationaleatingdisorders.org/find-help-support Not sure where you live, but this is the National Eating Disorders website, which has a helpline you can call to find help in your area! There is an online eating disorder test, but I would leave things like that to professionals, honestly. Call the helpline now Call…

I know its been said, but they're right! Gaining muscle will make it seem like you're not losing weight (pounds on the scale) so measuring inches or how your clothes are fitting will be a good indication of your progress! I also heartily agree with the note above that the way that you're feeling - feeling better, more…

There's already a lot of good suggestions here, but let me throw these out there: I know its kinda naughty for the convenience side, but I turned to a low-calorie frozen breakfast sandwich when I found I needed something hot in my tummy to get my day started right! Jimmy Dean makes an egg white and turkey sausage sandwich…

Yes yes yes, I cannot stress enough how much preparedness counts toward meeting your goals! I dedicate one day a week (Sunday) to the house, and its when I do most of my cooking. I found that shopping for only a week at a time helps me make sure I use up everything in the fridge and nothing is being wasted! I plan out a…

Hi! Friend request sent :) I could certainly use some friendly cheering on, and will happily do the same :)

Hey, I wanted to jump in and thank you so much for writing this blog. White House Black Market is the same for me as it was for you - I always LOVE everything they have in the window, but have never even bothered going in because I was sure they don't carry my size. I was feeling really down because I gained a couple…
