$40/month at gym in hopsital next door + our insurance kicks back $150/year.:flowerforyou: Live in Boston, everything is expensive. Was paying $90/month for Boston Sports Club. Current gym has equipment, free weights but no pool (boo hoo). Clean and close to my office so I can jump over at lunch and miss the crowds.…

we haven't given out candy since our son went to college. Halloween happens to be our anniversary (30 years today) and we go out to dinner. Didn't get to do that for 18 years. We also live on a quiet cul-de-sac and don't get much traffic anyway.

does hubby have broken arm? why can't he cook some nights?

I eat a few pieces of cheese. For me it takes the edge off the hangries enough to get me through the dinner making. Another quick fix for me is crackers/chips/veg and hummus or baba ghanoush. Just a few. couple of tablespoon bites of cottage cheese or greek yogurt also do the trick.

Michael Pollan (food guru in my eyes) says "if you aren't hungry enough to eat an apple (or other piece of fruit) you aren't hungry."

awesome.

Yup, can stand the taste of soda, juices, etc. Never had much of a sweet tooth anyway, but when I began cutting out processed foods and drinks I find every too much. Salty, bitter, sweet, you name it and I cook nearly every meal myself so I can control it. The hubby was entering in a minestrone soup I had made and when MFP…

Almost forgot my all time holiday pie. 1 block silken tofu 1 bag dark chocolate chips 1 graham or cookie crust melt chocolate chips in microwave or over double boiler, cool to room temp, pour into blender w/silken tofu and blend to smooth, pour into crust and refrigerate to firm 2-4 hours. NO ONE guesses it is tofu.…

when I began to research my emotional eating I came across these triggers: Loneliness - I was a traveling consultant for 16 years and had many, many dinners alone, coupled w/an insanely stressful job and travel schedule. Now that I am home every evening with the hubby and have a wonderful, low stress job - I don't get the…

I had a small piece of cod - about 1/3 lb. so adjust accordingly Take handful of hazelnuts, roast in oven about 3 minutes, then rub between towels to remove skin, pulse in food processor until coarsely ground. Add to a handful of seasoned panko…

totally relate. I have found 2 things that help me. (a) and my husband HATES it - I turn on all the lights in the house, as soon as I get up and as soon as I get home. I work and make as much as he does and I'll pay the extra light bill thank you very much (b) Vitamin D - my physician routinely screens ALL of her patients…

I know you're not going for Gluten-Free, but "Gluten-Free girl and the chef" has some delicious and nutritious veggie/vegan recipes made from real food and the book is about their cute love story. Oh, and good "meaty" mushrooms are always a go-to.

In the morning simply add to a bowl w/1 cup water,…

as long as you are not stuffing yourself w/cake, cookies, donuts, pie, sodas, etc. you don't need to worry about sugar. I have 2 coffees a day, but dropped the sugar and switched from skim to 1/2 n 1/2 which is sweet enough I don't miss the sugar. Snack ideas that keep me full are abundant as I am easily bored w/the same…

try mixing tofu with scrambled eggs or as mentioned in stir fry. P.F. Changs has a dish called Mo Fa Tofu - crispy fried tofu cubes in a sweet/sour sauce surrounded by the most delicious, freshly steamed broccoli. After learning that the dish has a stroke level inducing amount of sodium I now make at home myself. Here is a…

ooo, I'm seeing broccoli, pasta bake w/the chicken soup and cheddar cheese topping. Black beans and rice w/some spicy cheese corn muffins to which you add whole corn. Pasta primavera w/the water chestnuts, carrots, broccoli, baby corn, sugar snap peas, & green beans. Veggie soup with the broth and all those veg. Tamale…

I concur that you will want to seek some professional input. I've had a series of tragic events over the last 5 years and it has taken me years of therapy, meds and finally a new, low stress job to get my head in a good place to work on this weight. Good luck, it does get better.

i usually bring leftovers from the night before dinner. yesterday was grilled pork chop w/homemade applesauce and steamed broccoli sprinkled w/smidge of parm cheese. Today I "thought" I had grabbed leftovers (roasted duck) but ended up with just the carcass. Headed to cafeteria and caved into temptation and got 3 chicken…

if you've avoided sugar for a long time you'll likely have a crash and feel tired or like me dizzy, but other than that you should be fine.
