This happens to me every single month and it's when I am the most vulnerable to binging. I don't know if I have found the cure for myself but I have found lately that drinking a lot water seems to help.

I am a gym noob and was kinda worried about falling dead from a heart attack if I worked out because I am so big. That's why I love the Biggest Loser--it showed me that bigger folks can work out too. I was totally intimidated the first time but I asked the guy who sold me the membership when the non peak hours were. And I…

For me it was pizza so I had some last night, yum! Also have you ever had Sensible Portions Veggies Straws? They sort kinda taste like French fries.

I was mad about something when I left work and instead of going through a drive thru to drown my sorrows I raced home and got into my work out clothes and went to the gym. I did this without thinking about it---a definite first for me!

People who yell stuff like that feel horribly inadequate inside and they are just mean people period. You walk tall and proud honey. Have you ever read Caitlin's Moran's How to Be a Women or Maya Angelou's Why the Caged Bird Sings? Both are great reads and very empowering. Also, I work on a campus and the other day our…

I forgot to eat breakfast. It took me until about 9:30 to realize it...usually food is on my mind so it was just cool.

Also--I am 44 and I'm pretty happy mentally about where I am in life and I'm not…

I'm in--this is perfect, I have been walking every day but want to step things up a little bit.

Thanks for posting this--I have done this cycle/pattern over and over again in my life and THIS time I'm really trying not to go down the same path--which always leads to gaining back what I've lost plus 15-20 lbs. I'm printing off your post and putting it on my inspiration board!

Pretty cool looking at our tickers right in a row--and gives me all sorts of inspiration. :smile:

Thank you all who have taken the time to answer my post; I truly appreciate the comments and insights.:smile:

Because I am consuming much less sugar I'm not longer having to get up in the middle of the night to pee! Yay!

This is so inspiring! I am just starting my 100 lb journey--Mary
