MFP Tool or Crutch? Weigh-in
Have you ever noticed how challenging it can be to trust your own instincts when you reach your goal weight? I tried weaning myself off counting calories and weighing in everyday. After three days, I just didn't trust myself that I was actually doing the right thing. I jumped back on the scale only to find that I had lost…

Does the time you eat matter?
I was under my calories yesterday, BUT I ate 1200 about 2 hours before bed. Will I lose weight just as fast if I stay within my caloric guide no matter what time I eat?

Racing to the last bite
Where did "it" come from? Where did I get the idea that somehow eating fast and racing to the last bite was where the satisfaction in eating was going to come from? Trying to answer the "where did that come from" question is not, I repeat NOT going to get me any closer to the finish line. I can spend all my time looking…
