Your post really hit me. I actually cried. It's hard, I go through these same emotions. Therapy is a great place to start, it's not so much controlling the foods we eat but our mental state. I recently started running, and found out that for me it is a great de-stressor. I am trying to find things I like to do, not for…

I like Saucony. But then again, everyone is different. I also had a pair of Brooks that I liked. It's all about fit though, try on every pair in the store until you find one made for you.

A whistle and pepper spray. Or why not invite one of them to run with you?

If you want to you will find the time. Can you walk to work? Take a walk on your lunch break?

How low carb are you eating? Definitely eat back those exercise calories! ;)

I'm trying something new. For every 5 lbs lost, I'm treating myself to a maintenance week. Whatever weight I'm at, I'll eat at maintenance level for a week and start again. That way I get to 'cheat' without blowing everything I just worked hard to do. Not for everyone but I think it will work well for me.

90 days is an amazing accomplishment. Congratulations! I have anxiety as well, I don't take meds for it but I'm really thinking I should. It's one of my major triggers and I think it's part of the reason I am failing at controlling my BED. Does it ever get better? Do you have days where you don't think about your eating…

Yes, it's a book. Overcoming Binge Eating by Dr. Christopher Fairburn. It has a guided self help section. I've heard good things about it and have started step one today. I borrowed it from my library.

I'm still working out what my triggers are but so far it's being tired, anxiety ( which is super awesome when you have anxiety :P ), and anytime I have to face my weight ( ie: when someone makes a comment about it, good or bad ).

ME!

I'm always amazed at these ones with big losses. You always come out looking like different people. Amazing job!!!

You've done so well! Great job!!

Recipe please! Looks so good!

What a difference already! Keep up the good work! Congrats on the 50 lbs lost already. That is huge! :)

Great job, you look fantastic!

With your best friend? Ouch. Ditch them both.

Ha ha, yes, my three year old will eat most things if there is some ketchup to dip it in. They eat the basics, my oldest is obsessed with broccoli and will eat it over anything else. It just gets boring for my hubby and I since they like everything very plain and basic.

Subbing so I don't lose this thread.

Rest if you're sick. Take a couple days and feel better.

Basa is a really mild fish, you can do anything to it and it will taste good. Some sort of curry would be delicious.

I mash rutabaga and carrot together with just a little butter or margarine. So yummy! Do not add milk, ruins it. ;)

My day looked like this: Breakfast - Chocolate Peanut Butter & Banana Shake: 1/2 cup unsweetened almond milk, 1/2 cup water, 1 scoop chocolate protein powder, 1/2 Tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder, 1 Tbsp ground flax, 1 small banana, 1 Tbsp peanut butter, 2 cups of ice, blended. Lunch - Turkey Club Sandwich: 2 slices whole…

I have a family so I buy quite a bit. This is the stuff we always buy though. Deli/Bakery: Oven roasted turkey breast, bread, tortillas, English muffins. Produce: Apples, pears, oranges, bananas, strawberries, grapes, broccoli, carrots, asparagus, lettuce, spinach, onions, garlic, tomatoes, cucumbers, sweet potatoes,…

I do. I find weighing to be the most accurate.

My thoughts exactly. :P

I try to eat fruits and vegetables that are in season and that helps a lot. I make a lot of things from scratch instead of highly processed convenience foods. I think I spend less on food then I did before, maybe 'cause I eat less of it. ;)

I wish I had this problem. But really, a glass of milk with your meal, a handful of nuts, some butter on your veggies will take care of that.

You were asking if it was okay to eat 500 calories a day, so clearly the intention was there. I don't think it makes a difference if you were doing it or intended to do it. All it takes is a little common sense to realize it is a bad idea. I'm not familiar with the diet pill you are on but it seems like it is prescribed by…

Is this a joke? I feel like you already know the answer, or at least you should.

You are amazing... and hilarious. Great work!!
