  • As a serial starter, I try to remind myself that I am never a failure, because I keep trying. No matter how many times you fall, just get back up.
  • My calorie count is a bit higher because I am starting out....bigger. But I have learned that the first thing you can do is log what you are regularly eating now, even if it goes over the mark. Then investigate what is causing the most calorie, fat, carbs and sugar in your regular meals and reduce or cut them out to get to…
  • Being trapped in your house can be blessing or a curse. We are in the a flood zone of Louisiana and can't leave our house. We are doing just fine. My fiance and I are both trying to eat healthy, so there are no really bad snacks in the house. With our electricity on, we are cooking up recipes to save because we just went…

No big surprise, but feeling ashamed makes me feel depressed, which stresses me out, which makes me eat. OA wagon anyone?
  • What part of 'Super Obese' didn't you understand? Even if I was healthy and allowed a 'treat' I still wouldn't go there because of all the sodium and cholesterol. People drop dead from that stuff everyday, healthy or not.
  • Fantastic Hair! I'm so envious!
  • Your dreaming dude. Even if they have low calorie, the sodium content is awful. From the Super Obese Food Addict angle. I try not to frequent any place with the temptation of making a wrong choice. My brain acts like an impulse buyer and tries to convince me that if I eat the healthy stuff, I can have a regular side dish…
