  • I know, healthy food is more expensive. It's much cheaper than medical expenses, though. That's how I rationalize it. Hope it helps.

  • I know exactly how you feel. I've been on a diet since the 6th grade...including WW (life member at goal for 28 years) What I've had to learn is that what I choose to put in my mouth is my choice. Nobody can make me eat (or not eat). It's awkward when someone has made something "just for me" and that's when I do the…

  • I love Gretchen Rubin's The Happiness Project. She has a section on deciding if you are a moderator or abstainer. I'm an abstainer so cannot have anything near me that is tempting...however, some people can consume treats in moderation. Hope this link helps.…

  • I've been on Weight Watchers since 1973, and am a free lifetime member (since 1984) so I know about Yo Yo and Plateau weight loss.

  • I did, too, but Easter is a special day. I try not to feel guilty because eating good food (for those of us who aren't starving, literally) is a choice. Guilt just makes me dig deeper and take a longer time to get on track. I enjoyed the chocolate cake, three-cheese macaroni, parker house rolls with lots of real butter.…

  • Instead of a metabolism booster (which I think could be dangerous and a big waste of money) consider this: My trainer suggested we (especially women) don't get enough healthy fat....I know it sounds odd since we've been preached at for years LF yogurt, LF milk, LF everything....however, I have had great luck with: Almonds…
