Eating is my main downfall...that and food. Emotional eating, mindless snacking, and eating just to be eating. I like to eat, which is why I am here...to change the way I eat and why I eat.

It's a psychological thing, I do not see myself as attractive, never have, so it is hard for me to believe that losing weight would change that. Feel better about myself, maybe; but not more attractive. It is something I know I will have to work along the way.

Unfortunately for me losing weight will not make me attractive, so for me it is more about trying to be healthier. :)

Winters Bone...just a weird movie Where the wild things are....major disappointment Most romantic comedies with Meg Ryan (Sleepless in Seattle, You've got Mail, etc)....*gag*

Fellow twin mom here as well. My twins are a bit older...16 years old. Yes..it does get easier...and more expensive. Feel free to add me as a friend if you wish. Good luck on your journey :)

Bump for later reading :)

I actually have my time zone setting for Hawaii time...that gives me until 6am in the mornings to hit the finish logging button.

I am an emotional eater and one that eats out of boredom. I eat because it makes me feel good. I do not like how I look, how I feel, and I feel I am unworthy....Food does not judge..it fills a void even if only temporarily. Throw being mostly inactive and bored on top of that....I see the result every day in the mirror.…

Honestly..Beans and Rice. I'm not talking traditional beans and rice, but the kind you throw together on a whim. I even thought I was doing good by using brown rice. I fixed only a cup of rice, and opened a can of ranch style beans. I would often mix the two together and sit and graze on the whole bowl over the next hour…

For me...there are several things. I avoid the camera at all costs. I do not like the way I look in pictures, as I am not photogenic at all. Another is hearing about my kids getting teased because of their "fat momma". Kids are cruel anyways, but to pick on them for something totally out of their control. I can not stand…

Watermelon....I can sit and eat it until I'm stuffed to the gills. grapes apples celery and salads. I always eat a salad before my main meal...helps me to not eat as much, And water...lots and lots and lots of water. Interesting about the cactus fruit. May have to try it if I can find some. Pickings are pretty slim at the…

I'm 5'7 and have well over 100lbs to lose. I have always been told I don't look like I weigh as much as I really do. They may not can see it, but I feel every one of those 300+ lbs on my body. You can never have too many friends and motivators during this journey to change your life.

75 done! I actually forgot it was only 75 and did 90 instead.

a little late, but 90 done!
