Have you ever tried to journal what you ate and how you were feeling? Is it emotional? I definitely am an emotional eater and it is something I struggle with a lot!

Sounds delish! I make a very similar recipe using lentils!

awesome! I am going to try it:)

I was looking at your food diary, and I think you are eating quite a bit of carbs. Try upping your protein intake. I find that if I eat too many carbs, I feel hungry and tired. Hope it helps.

I can totally relate to what you are going through. I was given a book called: Stop Eating Your Heart Out-The 21-day program to free yourself from emotionally eating by Meryl Hershey Beck. I am only 1/3 of the way through the book, but I feel it is already helping. I have always been an emotional eater and you will never…

For me, it is definitely stress. Learning to cope with stress in a different way has been a real challenge. I am used to turning to food for comfort- definitely an emotional eater!! I also find that at that certain "time of the month" is also a huge challenge.

Looks very good!!

I've been enjoying fat free cottage cheese and peanut butter toast. I also love smoothies with protein powder.

Sounds delicious!

looks absolutely delicious!

When I eat oatmeal for breakfast I am starving all day and craving things like crazy!! If I have a smoothie with protein powder, or eggs or anything with protein, it's a totally different story!!

Water is the best!! I too struggled with walking even short distances at first because my back would kill me!! I actually took a couple of months to just get in the water and diet, once I shed a bit of weight, walking became easier. You can do it!!:)

those look wonderful!!
