  • I agree with the deprivation part. I have made wine and dark chocolate a part of my diet, when I lose 10 pounds, maybe even 8, I will enjoy a pint of ice cream. I know with the added metabolism with all of the exercise, I will be ok. We need rewards to keep mentally fit too.

  • I find 12 step meetings help me vent my emotions in a healthy way. Also some good books out there dealing with emotional eating, Just 10 by Lamm. If you want to know other book support let me know. You are not alone! Deborah

  • Have you tried Lily's almond dark chocolate? It is sweetened with stevia so you wont have that insulin surge. I have added it to my diet as a treat on the journey to losing 20 pounds.

  • I love your sense of humor. I have lost 21 pounds in 5 months and have 11 to go. Funny how we get stuck on a number. Honestly did not think I could do it but walking changed my metabolism.
