i feel the same way! i said to myself that i could eat whatever i wanted since i was at work today (i work in a residential facility) and i wasn't with friends and family that it would make me feel better, but there i was using food to alter my mood! and of course it didn't work because i felt physically uncomfortable!…

thanks everyone one! yes, i'm noticing just after 25 days on here what a like "i dont eat that much" was for the last 5 years! on the days when i go over my limit, i can see how much i'm eating and i've been eating that way for half a decade. so i know the food diary helps so much. also, the food diary and my major…

yes i'm in! been eating A LOT of sodium my whole life, so it's time to ----cut back and try this week to stay under 3500 mg a day --- work out m-f (i work from home so there's no reason i can't stop by the gym for 20 mins on the elliptical! --- try to do a few sit ups and push ups since i ONLY do cardio.

this has been a great thread esp the suggestion that we don't have to let food rule our emotions and mood!

how do you take the seeds> my naturopath said that they only way to really get the benefit is by grinding them in the coffee grinder, otherwise they are just fiber that goes thru your system since our stomach isn't strong enough to digest the seed walls.

this is great for me! short term goals yes! -stay around 10 calories of goal intake. -go to the gym the days i can -- just tell myself i can do stationary bike for 20 mins and then leave. usually i do an extra 10 anyway! -no fried food

can we do another challenge starting Monday ?

thanks so much for your encouragement! i really need to hear it since today i did even worse than yesterday. tomorrow i am going to the gym (i haven't gone in 2 days) and plan better!
