  • I am an emotional eater. I eat when I'm happy, sad, bored, tired, feel I deserve it, stressed, after a small argument with my husband. It comforts and fills a void inside of me.

  • I have logged religiously for one week exactly (feels like a year LOL) and that is the longest I have ever logged anything:) I really feel it keeps me on track and motivated. And I am surprised at the nutritional value of the some the foods I have taken for granted!
  • Disclaimer: I am NOT a nutritional expert og doctor, but this is from I have experienced and read over a period of 20 years. When you eat as little as 500 kcal daily, your body is struggling to get by just to breathe, move your muscles, walking etc. Your body needs energy, but sadly it doesn't get that energy from burning…
  • LOVE your progress! you look so much younger!:) I am 36 and mother of two and I am only 5 ft, so we are very much alike. My starting weight is lbs 163 and my goal is 124...you look really skinny at 132 though:)!!
