I never thought I would find myself in that situation but one day I woke up and said "hey you turned into an emotional eater." I started using affirmations I found on FB and Pinterest and the ones that related I printed out and kept them with me. Now when I am treated poorly at work I smile and start reciting affirmations.…

Well I am right there with ya, still! I find that if I have a full stomach I don't care for drinking. I would love to up the "dinner time" in our home but it's not a possibility right now. I try and get full at lunch so I don't want to drink. I was looking into "Moderation Management" to get a start. I think thanks to you…

Everyone please freind me too! Sounds like we are all in the right group. Before I married I was so healthy and happy. Then with a rocky marriage, having children I tooks others advice and let myself go to hell. I've climed out now wondering what the heck. Things are getting better but my husband is a gourmet cook and it's…

I live in Florida, originally from Pittsburgh. Married w two teens. Oldest graduates high school in May. I wld like to at least lose 20 for that.…

I would like to have lost 30 lbs.☺

I lurk. I want to start up because I like to juice but need a beginning point.

I am no longer challenged at work and started emotional eating out if boredom. It makes me crazy as I never wld have thought this wld happen. I am preparing an exit as I can't be like this any more.

I will join.

Today is my birthday!! I consider each birthday as the start of my personal new year. It is a time to reflect on how I have grown over the last year and also to set goals for the next year of my life. I use this time to get organized and focus which is hard for me to do. My goals for November are to stop drinking alcohol…

Hi Connie, I had planter facsitis also. I beat it by soaking my feet when It was unbearable but I quit wearing cheap shoes. I put my foot down and tried some of the shoes avon sells such as curves and walking shoes since I am on my feet and for the most part it is history. I walk 9 miles a day at work and another 5 on top…

Hi, my name is Tricia. I will be 54 in November. My weight crept on after I quit smoking 7 years ago and started cutting out coffee and diet soda, etc. We do eat healthy for the most part. My husband is an excellent cook so portion control is an issue. To be honest I haven't started menopause yet. I know people who said…

Sounds great. I am in!

My name is Tricia. I live in Florida, married with two teenaged boys. I would love to lose 20 pounds by my birthday in November. Logically I will settle for 15. I have a total of 50 pounds to lose and no matter how hard I work at it I don't seem much or a result. The same 5 or 10 coming off and going back on. I am very…

Bravo for you and THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU for sharing your story. I see myself in your story. I drink 6 beers each nite and if I have a really good or bad day 8. It is hard when you are in a life that revolves around daily happy hours and such. My husband and I are really trying to wean off the alcohol because we…

Orange Energy Drink 2 Oranges 2 Tablespoons Apple Cider Vinegar 2 Packages Stevia 3 ice cubes Blend and drink. Serves 2 I believe it is 73 calories per serving. Very refreshing.

I certainly did. I had no idea how much nicotine affected my metabolism. Even though I am on the move at work everyday it happened.

One day at a time is great advice. I went from no weight problem to a weight problem. I too have a weeekness for bread and potatoes. At my house I am always out filled for healthy choices but am gettingvasround it slowly.

Can u share your kale shake recipe with us plez?

I wish I had something more encouraging to say than have u tried a support group. I am all aboutvself help and suddenly manifested myself into a weight problem. I have learned how to cope with the stress but can't change my eating habits! Maybe we can help each other. Have you set any goals yet? I am deciding between…

I have been in a similar situation before.

Thanks for the encouragement.

I can so relate to most of what you said. Thank you for having the courage to type it out.

I am so happy I found this group, I feel you are my friends. There is a little bit of me in each of you. I come from a family that drank, my career was full of happy hours, friends and neighbors and happy hours. Let's keep the board going! I am going to friend you all for support.

I totally agree with you here. I probably need another closet purge. My problem is I don't have the money to go purchase more clothes so I become the person I would never have thought and wear what does look until it falls apart. My work clothes are kind of like a uniform so that is what I buy. I started looking into…

Awesome, I am kind of a lurker myself since I work retail. I love their way yoga makes my body feel however I stopped practicing at home and can't find a studio that makes me feel comfortable. I am using this month to document my goals and move forward by the start of June!

I don't have a word that describes unloving to yourself. I never felt bad about myself but for some reason I have hit a turning point. Probably I am reading to much and unintentionally manifesting bad. :-) I would be estatic to lose 10 pounds.

I am going to buy myself a beautiful salad plate for this challenge. I can't speak for you all but I am always starting over, which is okay. I just wonder if we put in the amount of enthusiasm we do for other things such as holidays, birthdays, etc. that we should do the same for an important goal. I think an awesome salad…
