I have mixed emotions about deadlines. It seems that one of my characteristics is that if I don't have a deadline I will procrastinate. Then there are the deadlines that are far off in the future that I think...I still have plenty of time. For me to be successful with deadlines then I have to have shorter smaller deadlines…

I was reading about habits a few weeks ago... Our old habits really never go away. They just take a back seat to the new habits we build...just waiting...watching...ready to make their reappearance when they see us struggle, falter to maintain those new habits that replaced them. Then when we are most vulnerable...they…

For once I am ahead of the trends. I have been doing this exact diet for the last few months. Guess what...it is working!

Wanted to add: OP...congratulations with your weight loss. All that is left is to put together a plan going forward.

This is not necessarily true. It depends on what she does going forward. People can also lose weight slowly and gain it back.

I try to limit my eating out to once per week. When I do eat out I make sure that what I eat is worth the calories. There is this burger place close to me that makes great burgers...they are worth the calories. I will eat one with chips and it takes a big chunk of my calories for the day. I just make sure that I eat less…

The other challenges that I joined are longer so I thought a shorter one would keep me on my toes! I like short term goals to keep me on track. I would like to lose another 1 to 1 1/2 lbs by the 9th.

Take time to fix several meals ahead. If I run out of my own "kitchen takeouts" then I am more likely to eat out or eat "stuff". Yesterday I fix deviled eggs for snacks, bacon for bacon/egg/cheese sandwiches, meatloaf and roasted potates with green beans. Today I am cooking orange chicken, rice and roasted broccoli. I will…

Here is one study on high sodium and reflux symptom. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/16990198 Effect of dietary sodium chloride on gastro-oesophageal reflux: a randomized controlled trial. CONCLUSIONS: High dietary sodium intake does not increase gastro-oesophageal reflux in healthy volunteers, despite a decrease in…

I am not saying in any way that this is your problem but I experience all kinds of issues if I eat foods with too much fat. Sausage(which I love) is my #1 enemy. That is why I could never do Keto nor too low in carbs. If I stay between 100-150g of carbs I seem to handle fat okay.

What about automobiles? Over 100 people a day in the US die from car crashes. Just like fast food and "sweets" the automobiles don't cause deaths (or injuries) it is the only when there is no self control and care given that these items become part of the picture. Guess what did play a roll...alcohol. So ban automobile…

Since I will be spending most of September without family around me I thought I could use some other form of accountability so I decided to join some challenges for the first time.

All ways of eating whether you are losing weight, maintaining or gaining use CICO. CICO applies to dogs, cats, birds even plants survive by CICO. My dog was a few pounds overweight...we used CICO to get him back to his recommended weight! He wants more CI but he actually enjoys the CO.

Just to emphasize why some of us might not snack on Annie's Bunnies...Instead of having lots of snacks in a day I would much prefer a serving of pasta. I actually eat pasta 2 or 3 times a week. Congratulations on being able to maintain on 2250 a week. Count your blessings...eat your snacks...don't spend your valuable time…

I think you need to realise that many of us don't have 2250 calories to play with so we have to make every calorie count if we are also working on the "health" part along with losing weight. Some of us also have problems of "binging" on snacks and have found that the easiest way to keep them under control is by eliminating…

I usually set my small goals 5lbs at a time. Longer goals are set at 1. getting below 200 lbs 2. getting out of the obese category 3. getting out of the overweight range 4. hitting my goal target. I also look at losing 10% of my body weight...15%, 20% and any other small goals that I can set. I keep a log of them and when…

You can unfollow the sections that you don't want to see.

Okay...I had a chance to read it. Unfortunately I think that it describes my eating habits at one time. As soon as I would eat the first "meal" in the morning I had a tendency to then eat all day long. If I tried to abstain I then had food on my brain continually. I have found that my way of eating now (won't mention what…

Nope but that's okay. I probably need to stop my reading this morning and get moving.

I tried to read the study but got no page found.

Not sure but isn't T1 and T2 two different animals. Aren't they treated and managed differently? The OP is a type 1 diabetic not a type 2.

I am not sure what you mean by "can't afford to lose weight". You don't need special foods in order to lose weight. By eating less of the foods that you would normally eat is how you can lose weight. I understand that with your medical conditions that your diet might have to change but you can still just buy normal foods…

It seems as if angelkitten is no longer with us.
