For My Fellow Bingers
If you're feeling down about bingeing today, or last night, etc., a good exercise to do would be to sit down in a quiet place, no distractions, with a piece of paper and a pen and *really* think through "what exactly happened" in that moment. You may feel like your hand and mouth moved of their own accord in that moment.…

The Powerful Tool of Accountability: Wield It!
I have discovered during my weight loss journey that the concept of "motivation" (such as getting motivated to exercise) is HIGHLY overrated. I can talk myself out of anything I don't feel like doing at the moment, and use the excuse of just about anything. Yes, saying I'm "just not motivated", I'm just not "feeling it",…

Do You Know The Difference?
Do you know the difference? (And these are just TENDENCIES - these may not apply to everyone across the board).... Physical hunger builds gradually; Emotional hunger develops quickly.

Savory Egg and Oatmeal Casserole
Made an amazing egg casserole for my mid-morning meal this week and wanted to share. It takes a little time to put together but it makes 6-8 servings so it's worth it to this single gal!

I think we start to feel trapped in an endless cycle of oatmeal, kashi cereal, and egg white omelettes. Blah, Blah, Blaaahhhh...... So I decided to do something about…

No More Excuses! Lekue Steamers for Veggies
I wanted to tell y'all about a great little kitchen gadget that has revolutionized the speed with which I can cook veggies. I don't know about you, but part of why I never used to eat veggies was because I felt like they were such a pain to prepare and then to wait to steam. And I personally hate the taste and texture of…

A Man Walks Down A Street And Falls Into A Hole
A man walks down a street in his town and falls into a big hole right in the middle of the road. Injured, he climbs out and goes on his way. The next day, he walks down the street again, and falls into the big hole again. Angry and frustrated, he climbs out and goes his way. The third day, he decides to walk around the…

How Did You Do It? (Deep Dive)
As a member who reached my goal of losing 66 lbs last year, I'd love to hear snippets of how other successful folks "did it". And I'd really like us to go deeper than, "I ate less and exercised more". Let's talk about the *mental* and *emotional* changes that took place along the way. For example, I worked really hard on…
