I agree tha communication is key and he genuinely is trying to help me. He made the comment that he doesn't care how big I get but that it's not healthy and with me I tend to gain in my stomach as opposed to hips and thighs I know he's right. I'm 5'3 and was a healthy 135 lbs for years.. I'm now 153 and that's too much…

Thanks for the responses! I have explained to him that I'm not necessarily on a "diet" as I find the term a little restrictive. I have explained I want to lose weight and get in shape and get my binge eating under control. I also explained that I plan in cutting out unnecessary empty calories so I guess to him the term…

Thanks for the responses :) I've been netting between 1400-1500 cals/day. It's so frustrating to think all that work could be undone over foolishness. Most of those empty calories were consumed bc I lack willpower when it comes to food sitting in my face. I'm a contract nurse and the facility that I worked at kept a BASKET…

If only I was a runner!! Haha but I think 45 % carbs would help me out tremendously.. And planning my snacks accordingly. Maybe I need to stock up on string cheese and peanut butter for my salty/sweet cravings. I'm so glad I'm not alone on this and that others have conquered my same battle and came out on top. :)

Yep.. My trouble is with the sugar/white flour carbs. I try not to buy them at the grocery store but when I'm hungry it's the first thing I grab when I'm out and about!

Thanks for the responses :) I'm not trying to go low carb or no carb but when over 70 % of my diet consists of them and I'm not losing I know something's gotta change. I guess it just boils down to better food choices and that takes some reprogramming of the mind.

That's exactly how I am! If I start the day out eating carbs I crave them the eat of the day! I try to do a little protein with the carbs but I do best when I start out with Greek yogurt.

I need some friends that I can hold myself accountable to! Feel free to add me for extra motivation and support. It's much more doable and fun when you have other like minded individuals who understand what you're going through. :)
