Is there anyone else out there difficult to motivate?
Anyone else out there like me? I'm not motivated easily. The pep talks, suck it up buttercup speeches, goals, challenges, stories, hanging up clothes or pictures....none of that does a thing for me.

Morning headaches
Hi everyone. I'm tryin to shed some pounds (again !) and I've run into an issue. I've found that if I don't eat 300-400 calories within an hour or two of going to bed, I don't sleep well and I wake up with a monster headache. Headache goes away within 1-2 hours of eating. It has to be food for the headache to to away too.…
