I do the same thing with chocolate chips in the freezer. Each individual chocolate chip only has a couple of calories. Just a few of these will satisfy my sweet tooth.

Honestly, you need to get into counseling before you even attempt to lose weight. Anorexia kills.

I have been stuck on a plateau for weeks now. I recently relaxed my goals and suddenly had more energy for working out. I think I am starting to lose weight again. Very excited.

I've read articles written by Fat Activists claiming that being fat is not necessarily unhealthy...which is utter nonsense. When they start advancing dangerous ideas like that, then I think it is time to speak out against them. That said, everyone deserves respect. I wouldn't give someone a hard time for being fat. I might…

Because I am a slightly oversized attorney. I almost went with Island Attorney. Can you guess why?

Just joined an Ultimate Frisbee group. Will be doing that a few times a week from now on. I will try to change up my diet and exercise routine. The last time I hit a plateau I got discouraged and stopped trying to lose weight. This time, I won't let that happen.

I notice that your calories are varying significantly each week. Have you considered trying to keep those steady for a while? Remember, your body cannot defy the laws of physics. Calories in, calories out. That's it. You are not losing weight because you are not sustaining a calorie deficit.

Your obsession is your strength. Not thinking about things is what caused me to be overweight in the first place. Now I think about it every day. I think about what I am eating, what I am drinking, when, and what I am going to do for exercise. Even when I reach my goal weight I will stay this way. I believe that I will…

Fruits and vegetables have calories, therefore they should be counted. Also, you lessen the usefulness of the food diary if you do not put everything into it. For instance, you might think you are consuming an appropriate amount of sugar each day, but if you aren't tracking those three apples you eat at lunch, then you are…

Ha, if I asked my wife to prepare a meal that she couldn't eat, then I think she would probably bite my head off.

Calories in, Calories out. Your body obeys the laws of physics. Therefore, you must either increase the workout (which sounds difficult because you are already working out a lot), change the work out, or decrease calories. I think that the strength training sounds like a good idea because it will result in the burning of…

Thanks everyone. it is nice to be able to tell a story to a group that will understand it. I can't tell you how many times I have heard people say, "just eat less" or "you just need to work out more." It has always been more complex than that. Obviously if the solution had been so simple and easy I would have done it a…

Slimfast shakes with water? That sounds horrifying. I know what you mean nleighp when you mention being ever-vigilant. I suspect that even if I lose all of the weight and arrive at an absolutely healthy level, I will always be an overeater....much in the same way that an alcoholic remains an alcoholic for life, even if…
