This was so powerful... I can imagine a vast majority of the people reading this will be able to relate to this on some level, large or small. Myself included. I can not remember the first time I ate in response to a stressful situation... I am sure I was too young to have memory of it. Crazy how our childhoods seep into…

Not blaming my job for my weight gain (its more my lack of self-control)... But I am an RN so I'm on my feet for 12-13 hours and dont have time to sit down for 30minutes to eat lunch so it turns into a "run into the break room, eat a cookie/muffin/cake that my wonderful co-workers have brought in and run out" situation.…

Girl you are definitely not alone! There are a few things that have helped me... The first thing is try to avoid junk food at all costs... For me, its pretty easy to avoid fast food, I just drive by and the temptation is gone. But if it is in my house, that's a whole different story. So I have completely refused to have…

Only thing I have found that helps is brushing my teeth, or doing something to distract myself. I dont have enough self control yet to "have just a little" :(

Too hard to pick just one! Cheese, mexican food, pasta, pizza. Yah the list goes on.. but these are the biggies!

Oh my gosh you look AMAZING!! Have you had to buy new clothes??

Sadly they are the first to go! I was a 34B my whole life, got up to 160 pounds and was a 36C, now im barely filling a 34B, and still have about 20 pounds to go... what will be left?!

Totally noticeable!!! Big difference! You look great!

just made this! AMAZING!! I used unsweetened vanilla almond milk (I just used 1/2cup) so it was only 20 cals! SO GOOD! Thanks for the great idea!

You are a ROCKSTAR indeed for running a 10k, putting yourself first, doing p90x, and blowing off the rude *kitten* people you encountered tonight.... Dont think twice about those people tonight. You go girl!!

You look like a completely different person! And you look so happy!! Keep the update pics coming!!

LOTS of cinamin and a packet of sweet & low... sooo good!

And if your looking for a NON food way to get through the craving.. I either paint my nails, take a shower (that ALWAYS works for me), go in your closet and go through your old clothes you dont wear, sometimes I go curl my hair cuz it takes so long.... Just some weird things that work for me!

I get the "peanut butter crisp" eating right bar for 100 cals. its Safeway's brand they are by the cliff bars and protein bars and stuff. They are only .75cents too!! But that always does the trick for me!

In all honesty, I log SOME bad days, and others I just dont. I think its important to log on bad days tho. In a way it makes me feel better to quantify it all and see it "written on paper."

You look AMAZING! and SOOOOO much younger!!

Yah tonight was the premiere. It's on the CW.

Whoa my god you look great!! And thats just 20lbs?! Imagine you at your goal!

ok I move fast (even in the 8inches of snow outside) :) just got thejolly time mini-bags for 100cals. Added cinamin (sp?) and 2 packs sweet and low... sooooo good! Sweet, salty, crunchy and I'm satisfied.

ohh ok so its like a "100 caorie pack" bag of popcorn. Thanks for the replys, ill have to check it out next time Im at the grocery store.

5'4" 132 Size 27 (inches).. I think translates into like an 8? Medium Top

That is a HUGE NSV. I have not yet mastered staying away from the chip, dip, and cookie table.... Great job!

Try not to discouraged... I know thats much easier said than done... When I feel like I'm not losing weight like I expected to or I've hit a plateau (where does the "u" go in that word, doesnt look right?) I think if it in the easiest terms that I can. Its simple, if I burn more calories than my body needs I WILL lose…
