My biggest issue with emotional eating is that I never feel full so if I don't measure my food an say Ok, you had enough food today, I will keep eating. When I'm tired, I just eat although I'm fully aware the food will not help me feel energized.

It's ok to grieve, it's ok to want to eat food that will numb you but most of all, it's ok to just be sad and be in that moment. Drink lots of water. Go for a walk. Take in deep breaths. Everything will be ok.

Thank you for sharing your story @fostersu Often time admitting that no, I'm not happy the way I am and doing something about is the hardest first step. Great work! Keep on taking the next step and reaching out for support!

If you are very sensitive to coffee, is it possible that it affects your sleep quality? An unrestful night sleep can do a lot on the body. Repeat it daily and add everyday stress and your body goes into alarm. I never knew how much coffee was sabotaging my sleep until I stopped drinking coffee. I still take the same amount…

I did Keto for 6 months and now I eat what I will call Keto-ish. The book “The Keto diet” by Leanne Vogel is a great resource to get started. It explains what to eat, how to calculate your micros and has recipes. The websites https://www.gnom-gnom.com/ and https://www.ibreatheimhungry.com/ are great for recipes The…

Widow brain... wish I didn’t know what that was. I have no recollection of the first 6 months after he died. 3 and half years later, I still have a hard time being on time which was out of character for me. On bad days, remember him and remind yourself that it’s ok to have a bad moment, a bad day or a bad month just like…

I aim for 30 to 60 minutes every morning and it varies with the season and weather. This summer, I enjoyed a bicycle ride. Rainy days, I will yoga or hiit or do a whole body weight training routine. On days I don’t feel it, i walk on the treadmill with a book for an hour.

I agree with mom23mango that we all have part of our body (or everything on it for some) and we need to learn how to love and respect ourselves better. It’s very hard when being constantly bombarded with marketing standards of beauty. My question to you is what don’t you like about them and why? What makes them substandard…

I only keep clothes that are too small. I get rid of the extra roomy stuff. If it’s only 1 size in the difference, I may keep it if... - it’s expensive and high quality - is a favourite and is worn in a variety of occasions The rest, I’d give it to family and friends.

I love seeing photos of myself from a year or 2 ago and look at where I am know. I’m proud I took the long healthy way to weight management. I love how fit and muscular i am. Best of all, i love where I am in my head. Peaceful, happy, balanced. Of course loosing weight doesn’t bring that but eating well and exercising…

What are your greatest challenges in losing or maintaining your weight? Staying motivated and consistent every day of the week especially on days where I’m tired or emotional. I can deal with celebrations and holidays no problem as long as I’m in the right state of mind. How do you deal with yo yoing or regaining and…

My biggest pet peeve.... people telling me I lost too much weight and I looked better before. I would get it if I went from a size 8 to a size 2. Yeah, ok maybe I went a bit too far but not when you go from a size 18 to a size 10.

I am no expert and only speak from experience. I used to be skinny fat. My problem was bad posture and weak core muscle which was made worst by typical 6 pack abs exercises because it made my belly bigger. I had to start by strengthening my obliques and transverse abdominals first. The difference was mind blowing.

I find HIIT completely wipes me out. I haven’t seen the results steady state cardio has given me in the past by doing it. I am so tired for two days after pushing myself hard that my eating goes off track. I also thinks it stresses my body to the point that it spikes up my cortisol as a stress response which in turns,…
