It is a habit...you have to train yourself to not snack at night. I wish I could tell you that it is an easy fix but it will take a couple weeks of either going to bed early or filling your time with something else. If watching television at night is your trigger....try doing something else. For 2 weeks stratight I did not…

Mine does too and it is frustrating. To make it easier and less aggravating...I weigh myself ONCE...and that is it! I don't bother going on again to set myself up to see the scale go up. I would keep going on and even take the battery out to see if that helped. I figure it is pretty accurate and if I only do it once each…

Yes!!! I kicked myself for getting an elliptical opposed to a treadmill in which I had intended on buying before the sales guy talked me out of it. I could only do 10 mintues but after slowly increasing (5 minutes) every week... I was up to 30 minutes. Listen to your body, and increase the time as you feel comfortable. It…

I just went to my doctor for the same thing. I would wake up feeling as though I never went to bed! I just wanted to hibernate and sleep for a month. My doctor sent me to my endocronologist since I also have thyroid issues and after having lab work completed, everything came back normal. I am not saying not to go to the…

Only you do know your son the best. As his mother, only you know the difference between him eating due to a growth spurt and unhealthy binges. Ask yourself this...would he eat that amount of food in front of you? Such as I told you about my niece, she absolutely would not! That told me that she was embarrassed to eat and…

Your post hit home with me because my niece (15) used to live with me and she would also sneak food in the middle of the night. I can't tell you how many wrappers and empty containers I would find...spoons in the linen closet and empty ice cream containers. I never ever deprived her of food, I simply asked her not to…

Spread red pepper hummus on rice cake and top with thin cucumber slices and low fat feta cheese....SO GOOD!!! I use the lightly salted.

I would recommend it...I did not read it all the way through since I'm in school full time..I never have time to read what I want...I skimmed through it and read the chapters that I thought would benefit me. It really helped me understand how our minds work. Although we're all different people and have various thought…

I have another book...Feeding the hungry Heart...That discusses the idea to eat what you want and when you want it. It basically teaches you that when you go on a "diet" and restrict yourself, you are in fact setting yourself up for failure; you will want every food that you think you can't have. When the temptation is too…

lol..i found that error...

My mother is a breast cancer survivor...she was only 48 years old when she was diagnosed through a routine mammogram. I am 33 and just had my first base mammogram. My doctor also advised me to be tested for the BRCA gene. Yes...it is scary to find out if you have the possible gene but there are preventative measures that…

It's a small world! I know the same TOM!

your body burns a certain number of calories a day...just to function...without you doing anything. So if your body burns around 1500 calories a day just to function and then you burn another 500 by exercising and going about your normal daily activites that equals 2000 calories burned a day..then ....if you eat 1500…

You just described me as well! I know people that can a a tiny piece of cake, one slice of pizza, or a handful of chips...ME...on the other hand...not only do I not know when to stop when I eat that rubbish but my thought process goes something like this..."Well, I ate crap for lunch so I might as well eat horrible for…

First thing in the morning, plan out your day. I find it easier and I'm less likely to pick on things here and there since I already inputed my days worth of food. The great thing is that you can always change, add, or delete an entry. I don't complete my food journal until the end of the day that way I can make any…

You just described my bad eating habit as well! For me...I think it is because I'm busy all day long and as soon as rest time comes...later in the evening...Iassociate relaxing with eating...and eating alot! I do better if I have a mini bag of popcorn (I feel like I am getting alot out of my snack) or not snaking at all…

I was having the same issue as you! I was afraid to exercise in fear that when I elevated my heart rate...it would trigger a panic attack (common anxiety symptom). I ruled out any heart condition by having a stress test and having the 24 hour holter examine done. I would start with ruling out any major health issues (as…

I don't need an aunt figure to do that to me,,,It sounds like what I do to myself..."go ahead...eat just one...! Perhaps instead of replying "no" to each offer, explain that you would love her support with your healthy lifestyle change and would not like to be offered anything anymore. Tell her, if you would like…
