Unless bread is a trigger food for you, I would definitely just work on portion control, like limit yourself to a certain number of pieces per day or week. As others have mentioned, completely "quitting" a food that you enjoy is kind of a recipe for failure...or at least a recipe for a sad rest-of-your-life.

1) Therapy. We eventually figured out WHY and starting tackling those icky issues (which I had been pretty much ignoring for decades). 2) Go about normal routine, except I don't put the binge out of my mind. I'm kind to myself about it, though, and try to use it to make more mindful eating choices.

I'm not sure that this will offer much help for the OP (sorry, OP!), but there are some ideas for other unsupportive family situations here : http://nutritiondiva.quickanddirtytips.com/how-to-change-unsupportive-environment.aspx. Good luck.

The answer to this question determines the appropriate course of action.

When my mom was on vacation in Oaxaca Mexico, she took some language/culture classes at a random language school there. One of her classmates was actually a former classmate of mine from a small, private high school in Maine (where we live).

My family's current favorite (I'm cutting and pasting from allrecipes.com). I omit the olives and cut the olive oil down to about 2 Tbsp and use more like a whole bell pepper (usually orange because I like how it looks with the red tomatoes). We love this and it's so easy!

I rarely see it in the mirror, but I can prove that my body is smaller by trying on old pants, comparing old photos to new ones, fitting better in the bathtub, being able to cut my toenails without so much ME in the way, and so on.

First: Doughnut. Second: Cashew.

Looks great...and so simple! Thanks for sharing. ETA: Actually, uh, do you eat it cold or are the rice and beans still warm?

My husband has this problem, too. Interested to read responses.

I started gaining weight long before I started the pill and continued gaining on it...then lost quite a bit while still on it. Now I'm (newly) off it after 15 years and so far, and there's no marked difference in my weight. Good luck.

Would I? Yes. Would I prefer the bacon the side, though? Yes.

It won't help much now, but you could come with a few options to suggest that your boyfriend make or do next time you're feeling crappy....an omelet, fruit salad, smoothie, a back/foot/whatever massage, etc. Remember, , this feeling is only temporary....but will be even shorter-lived if you act NOW to get yourself out of…

I wish this would work to get my husband up. Unfortunately, I'm sure that I would be the one solving math problems or searching for the ketchup's barcode... Good tip, though!

When I was heavier, going to the gym was so intimidating. (It still is, actually, even though I'm pretty much a normal weight and am familiar with most of the people who work out at the same time as I do.) Hiring a trainer is great advice, but if you can't (or just won't right now), you can also just take it very slow.…

You can change it. I think it's under the "goals" tab. I'm sure someone else knows exactly how, but it would take me a few minutes, and you can play around with it as well as (or better than!) I can.

I'm 4'11 and MFP put me at 1200. I tried that for a while, but was getting frustrated going over too many days and wanted to quit. Instead, I manually changed my calorie allowance to 1350 and felt much less restricted. (It's likely still fewer than what I was eating before MFP, and mentally I could handle it better.)

When I joined Weight Watchers and the gym--which is when I started paying any attention at all to my health and food--I had lots of dreams about food and WW points. I don't anymore, but did for probably a few months.

If you really refuse to get it done in a store (by a "professional'), at least have a friend or family member do the measuring. Also, with help from a Macy's bra saleswoman--I've found that I might fit into one brand's 34C and another brand's 36B. So it's worth trying on a variety of sizes and styles. And in the dressing…

This was one of my thoughts too. I used to have a problem with middle-of-the-night snacking , and while I am grateful every day that it is no longer an issue for me, I do worry about it coming back. I have been seeing a therapist and working on what I thought were "other" things, but have found that everything is all…

Just send him a brief note saying something like, "Hey, I was just wondering what you're up to these days. Hope you're doing well!" That way, you'll make it known you're open to re-connecting if he wants and the ball will be in his court. If he doesn't respond, let it go.

Writing the letter is fine. Sending it is another story, and I guess it depends on your motivation. If I got a love letter from an ex, I would feel really uncomfortable. (I was in a relationship once where my boyfriend's ex-girlfriend sent ME an email saying how she was still in love with him and would I please break up…

If I take a bite of something and then decide that it's not "worth it," I'll spit it out....often even if I'm at a restaurant or at a store (those free samples!).

The more accurately you can count the calories that you are consuming, the greater chance of success with this program. I think my digital food scale was about 30 u.s. dollars and I love it. The scale is harder to "trick" than a measuring cup...

Bump.

Definitely worth it; we love it! One of our favorite ways to eat it: Quinoa Pilaf With Shredded Chicken -- easy and YUM! (Find it on allrecipes.com -- we usually have it without the chicken, but it's great either way.)
