What to do when stressed? Angry? Sad?
I do fine and then life hits me hard and I can't stand the emotion. So I eat. I learned to do this at the age of 10 and not matter what, I fall back on this crutch and last week I put on 8 pds! My group says to sip tea. Holy Cow. If that worked for me, I wouldn't be a compulsive overeater for the last 40 years. Any real…

Finally the battle of weight loss is over
I am posting this for anyone interested in letting go of bad eating, a fat body, and illness. Last March I saw a program on PBS by Dr. Neil Barnard.

Has anyone dealt with vein stripping?

Kaiser put me on compression stockings, but I couldn't afford them so I wrapped an ACE bandage around my calf and got a superficial blood clot.

Back to where i belong-no ref carbs/sugar
I slipped over the holidays and put on 12 pds. I got back into sugar and carbs and then had the audacity to think I could eat them in control. HELLO! I felt so lost, so tired, so weak, so depressed from the sugar and could not stop. I then went as far as to look into Nutri System, Jenny craig.. . . . Now I know what works.…

I want a new way to deal with relationships that are painful
I know a lot of people must have come to a more mature decision than eating when hurt by others. I am 55 and have been dealing with being hurt by others by eating since I was 10 years old and my mom dumped me and my brother three states away with a grandmother who hated us. Sounds sad? Yeah, well it's time to move on and…

The chocolate recipe is awesome!
It's from South Beach Diet. Take ricottta cheese and put in food processor and blend with sweetner and cocoa powder until velvety smooth. I put it into 2 ounce cups and eat like a treat of treat. Also, I put in lemon juice and zest and make it more like a cheesecake. Some people place a vanilla wafer at the bottom first.…

I stopped the Y this summer cause I never went. I enjoyed walking outside. I still do but winter is coming. I want a treadmil but can't dig up that much money.
