SAVORY OATMEAL. My world is brighter. Birds are singing. Life is hopeful. SAVORY OATMEAL IS AMAZING. Okay but really! How did I not know this? You can basically do whatever you'd do for a grain bowl. Today I made cacio e pepe oatmeal (basically oatmeal with salt, pepper, butter and parmesan cheese) AND added a poached egg…

What worked for me today was NOT getting discouraged (which equals self sabotage) after the scale showed me up 2lbs. I weigh daily and I’ve been doing it long enough to understand that my weight fluctuates like crazy day to day. I trust the plan and will keep on keeping on.

Hard boiled eggs! Had no time for breakfast OR lunch today but I had a few minutes to spare between meetings. I wolfed down two eggs and they were just enough to tide me over until I could have a proper late lunch.

Realizing that it’s okay to throw food away instead of eating it out of guilt about being wasteful. It’s not like I can donate two pieces of leftover pizza. Better to put them in the trash instead of in my body when I’m not even hungry.

A bowl of fresh watermelon with feta and some "Everything But The Elote" sprinkled on top. It satisfied all my cravings for sweet, salty and spicy all at the same time!

Spicy water. It sounds crazy but I am obsessed with ice cold water with a squeeze of fresh lime and a slice of fresh jalapeno pepper in it. I'm learning that a lot of the time when I think I'm hungry I'm really just thirsty and this water is so delicious and refreshing that I actually look forward to it. I first saw it at…

Welcome! I don't have much of a support system either -- my husband travels a lot and I have yet to make friends in this new town. Plus, I'm pretty private when it comes to discussing my health (also dealing with serious spine issues and permanent nerve problems following a botched surgery) and anything to do with weight.…

After I made myself a salad and sandwich, I put everything away and tidied up the kitchen before sitting down to eat. I've noticed that I tend to take a few more nibbles here and there (and not log them) when I put stuff away after dinner and this was a good tactic to prevent that.

What worked for me was eating a remarkably delicious (and equally disgusting-looking :) ) lunch that a Bon Appetit chef posted. Cottage cheese with rough-chopped purple onions, avocado, hard-boiled egg and cucumbers, sprinkled with chili flakes, nutritional yeast, flaky salt and black pepper. The chef added olive oil but I…

I'm right there with you :( I had L4/L5 surgery 8 years ago and L5/S1 8 years before that. My back has been hurting all week and I'm on Day 3 of total bedrest. I reherniated L4 a few years ago and it's always so scary to think it might be time again. I'm sincerely hoping that it will start to feel better on its own with…

Paradoxically, what worked for me today was not working out. My appetite skyrockets when I do cardio and then I overeat and make excuses. I took off a week from working out, dropped my calorie intake by 200, and finally saw the scale move.

I tried a new thing - stand up paddle-boarding! I didn't let the fact that I'm 50lbs overweight stop me from doing something I've wanted to try for YEARS. It gave me a huge burst of confidence and is yet another reminder that I shouldn't put on my life on hold because I'm overweight. I can do awesome things during the…
