Exactly what she said. You KNOW you deserve better and you're not going to find him until you end it with this guy. So go run off the frustration and think of each step as being one step farther from him and closer to the happiness you deserve. ((hugs))

Up your fiber intake and that should do the trick. ;) I don't know that constipation has a lot to do with your weight, but eating a high fiber diet will keep you regular AND help you with losing weight.

My personal opinion is that with any of these quick fix weight loss remedies (pills or special diets), even if they aren't harmful, you're going to gain the weight right back as soon as you stop.

When I entered the weight that signaled 10lbs lost MPF asked me to update my goals. It adjusted my calories at that point. HTH.

I've always had a sweet tooth, but chocolate was my go-to stress food. I'd always heard that if you're craving something sweet you should eat fruit & I always though "Yeah right!"

I could've written the exact same words 2 months ago. I've often started a diet only to give up a week or so later with no real results. Then I read "Made to Crave" which helped me to find MY motivation. And I took it one day at a time. I quit buying snacks and high calorie foods. (I have NO willpower if its in the house.)…
