I am a binger. Went into therapy. I thought I was eating to make me feel better but the doctor told me that I was eating to AVOID any emotions. That helped. I still binge sometimes (just last night), not as often, and like AA it's one day at a time. And please, be kind to yourself! The internal negative thoughts that we…

Woman 40 pounds overweight here. During the summer, I have a hard time running in the heat. So friends of mine suggested that I do shorter runs but in intervals. It works. I ran a 7km the other day and I cut down 30 seconds from my usual pace. There is a lot of intervals apps out there so I am not gonna suggest one in…

Banana yes but PB, not always. I have a hard time digesting it. Chocolate milk helps. Coffee isn't bad at all but only if you rehydrate yourself as it is a diuretic. Maybe you could try the energy supplements that are sold in running shops. They can be in a form of candy, chews, power gel or protein bars. I only used the…

yay

I starts consulting a psychologist to find out why I was overeating even though I knew that I was slowly destroying myself. Sometimes, it has nothing to do with willpower. I haven't weighed in in a long while because of all the negative stuff I would tell myself after. My process will take a very long time but I will get…

Wonderful! You look amazing!

I hoped these replies helped and didn't confuse you. I am sorry to say that the symptoms are sooooooooooooo different from one person to another. Like any anti-depressants, it is a "try and error" type of thing. I took Wellbutrin once because my sleepiness (symptom from depression) was still very present. I did nothing to…

When I use store bought, I usually add water to it. Just enough that it still tastes great but lowers down the calorie intake.

I am a diet cola addict. I will quit cold turkey because today I took the time to read about all it's negative effects on the web. I just googled "why diet soda bad for you" and BANG!!! One of the effects in question is that when you drink any diet drink, that sweet, message your body receives tells it that calories are…

In my case, it was depression. What most people don't know is that depression can be physical. My metabolism wasn't working, I had trouble with bowel movement, was sleeping a lot (came to 15 to 16 hours a day), even falling asleep while driving, loss of memory and concentration. Gained 10 pounds in 2 weeks. I'm not saying…

No Male should be on a 1200 calorie diet!!!! Unles he is 10 years old! I don't understand why you would suggest that. His body will go on starvation mode!?!?!

AMEN!

What I am noticing from all the replies is that I don't eat protein enough. I usually eat a homemade fruit salad with 1/4 cup of granola cereal (it has nuts but not enough!)

This is a revelation. I never thought about it that way!

I was replying to Flora!!! Forgot to quote!

LOL!!!!:laugh:

Oh boy! This si where I am worried. Because I do eat protein in the morning. I have made myself what I call a fruity oatmeal. I use berries, oatmeal water and vanilla protein powder to beef it up. Maybe I will add some more protein powder because I only get half a scoop per serving. THANKS A MILLION!

I just did 3k in 20 minutes. 3 days ago I did 6k in 40 minutes. Just average it out. I run outside and the distance is calculated with my gps equipped watch.

Looking GREAT!!!

Stop trying to figure him out! HE IS NOT WORTH IT! And quite frankly, whatever was his reasoning behind it, HE WAS WRONG! You should rebuild your soul as well as your body. Get help if needed. You seem to be doing much better. Telling your story shows strenght and courage. Good luck to you and have a WONDERFUL life!

The problem I think is that we still have the bad pattern of rewarding ourselves with food. Before I had my kids (and had more money), I would reward myself with a new piece of clothing (always on sale). Wasn't good money wise but was good weight wise. I think we should find other ways to reward ourselves. BUT I JUST DON'T…

VAVAVAVOOM! Hope one day I will look as good as you do.

Spinning is a great idea. Low impact, maximum cardio and you will probably find a class where you can find the friendships that motivated you before. My physiotherapist banned me from jogging but not for life. She doesn't believe in that. But she does suggest to alternate my different interest in sports to not overcharge…

My sister did it last year and she liked it so much, she is doing it again this year. Same comments as above, says it is overpriced but soooooo much fun. She ran the half-marathon.

That is amazing. Running is hard I know! Best of luck for the next race. Oh and by the way, 1h29minutes is great time considering that you started only a month ago!

I'm not any good at shifting gears. Thank goodness, everything's flat around my place so I don't need to do it often :happy:

Liquid egg whites, red peppers, broccoli, sliced ham, green onions, seasonings and a bit of parmesan or a low fat cheese. 10 minutes to prepare, 10 minutes to cook and you have an omelette!

I am unfortunatly in that category. Especially friday nights when kids are in bed and I can just relax from a stressful week. I tend to use food to treat myself for all the work I do...Funny right, I sabbatage myself!?!??!??

I wish!! To loose a pound a week, I ahve to eat 1300 calories a day. Do the math!!!:wink:

I second that. I could live on bread and water so to cut that out would be too difficult and I would quit for sure.
