Thank you for that link. I like the use of dark chocolate mentioned in there . Raises endorphins without spiking sugar levels. Lol, exercise will do that too. I tend to keep a bar of dark chocolate in my lunch bag. just one or two small pieces savored slowly will get me past the urge. There are no taste buds in my stomach.…

Last sentence. The significant weight loss strikes at the very heart of the nuturing mother. And she may be afraid that you won't know when to stop. Like a car with no breaks, it's terrifying .

I can totally feel Mom's perspective, and your predicament. A lot of echoing thoughts at my end. She probably grew up with the usual social programming/norms/taboos. Eat everything on your plate. Offering food is a form of love/hospitality, so refusing it hurts or is rude... Add to that, that she should be the nurturing…

Two of my obstacles; rebelling against the idea of "you can't eat that" and real hunger. So I set my MFP goals for the slowest loss rate, tweaked the activity setting, log my food, steps and all exercise, drink water. I eat the net calories. I dont feel guilty at family gatherings, as I log my meal and treats and then…

Kudos to you for being persistant!! Please DO follow up on the thyroid and check for other possible medical issues, such as diabetes. Any thyroid issues can fluctuate and WILL affect your metabolism, regardless of what you eat. Your house can't stay warm if the furnace isn't working properly or the kids leave the doors and…

I really admire how much you've accomplished. Please listen to the dietician and your medical support staff. Consuming too little calories puts your body into survival mode. Your body protects your life by slowing down your metabolism and stopping your period to avoid starvation. No need to be so harsh on your body. It may…
