The Fight of my Life -Update WaistBasket
43 days ago I found MFP. Not sure what to expect I but I wanted to give it a try. I lost 25 pounds. I still weigh 337 pounds and now I am ashamed of it. I can't love my body or my weight no matter what the media tells me. I don't want to look and feel like this. How did it even happen? I love myself as a person, but not…

Please, my Friends, don't lecture me
I am all game. I am obese, almost housebound. I don't know anything about exercise. I am here fighting for my life. I have lost 25 pounds with the help of MFP, a dietician, books I bought about emotional eating like "you can't eat love". I don't need a quick fix. I need to find a way that will work forever. I am a woman…

The "Protein Run"
If I eat more protein and cut carbs (not sure why) and it takes 2-3 hours and I am running to the bathroom. All the time. Today is not the first time it happened. I should get frequent flyer miles.

1 Burger 3 Cupcakes and 1128 steps
I know I am not the typical success story, but I feel successful. We decided to order breakfast. I looked at the Omelette with fruits but ordered a breakfast burger with fries instead. I enjoyed every bite. I never had one before, it was a hit. Early in the afternoon, I recycled 3 leftover birthday cupcakes. They didn't…

Scared to step on the scale
Tomorrow it's 2 weeks since I signed up here and I haven't stepped on the scale. I am scared. I have ignored the scale for years and now I am terrified. I am so motivated, what if the number will crush me? What if I didn't lose enough to keep me going. What if I gained? What if I only lost 1 or 2 lb? How often should…

A whole box of chocolates
After a healthy breakfast, I managed to enjoy one box of 'Schogetten milk chocolate' in one quick session. I logged it, 560 calories. I felt shocked. I wasted all these calories on chocolate. Now I have only 800 left for lunch and dinner but lunch got canceled by chocolate. Logging it is like facing the music. Crime…

I feel vulnerable & have so many questions
I started the day very excited & and will end it overwhelmed. I got friend's request. I am thrilled. I will have good company on my long way ahead. I got so much advice today it made my head spin.
