Free online life coach?
Is there such a thing? I have zero motivation. I know I'm overweight and dont like my body. I try and eat better but I find it really doesnt get me anywhere unless I obsess over it. I mean OBSESS. Live, breathe, dream calorie counting. I'm sure there are underlying issues, which I dont really want to get into at the…

After I lost weight in high school ...and then dropped out of college and gained weight... then started to get back into shape... but still felt fat... and realized that I was a size 10.

"Better your BMI" Competition at work
I had a conversation with a girl at work who apparently used to be a fitness model and tried to figure out how she found the motivation. She said she liked to self-compete. I love to compete... just not against myself. But that reminded me of how at my old work we had a better your bmi competition to get ready for bikini…

But all of the health magazines said to eat eggs and almonds and portioned cheeses and avocados -- all in moderation. I'm so…

Whiny Post #1
I just needed a place to vent. I feel like I'm getting fatter and stupider daily. I feel hopeless. I feel like there arent enough hours in a day to do what I feel like I need to do to be happy. Sleep, work, cook, read, socialize, exercise, be alone. I'm having a hard time eating right. I used to be the diet queen. Its like…

Salt -- is it really a problem?
Okie. I had read "French Women Dont Get Fat" (LOVE that book) and they had a two-day cleanse consisting of leek soup. See link below. http://frenchwomendontgetfat.com/content/leek-soup-kick-weekend Anyways. I strained my broth and sipped it and was not impressed.
