Trying to learn to plan meals and snacks --- any meal/snack ideas that you love?
I am reading the book, the Beck Diet Solution, to try and end the binging, and lose weight. I have learned so far the power of our thoughts, eating slowly, and eating only when sitting.

I have been struggling to lose weight. My husband also wants to lose 20 lbs, and he wants us both to start Atkins diet. I am concerned because I love fruit, and I know a lot of fruit you cannot eat.

Just for today -- anyone want to join me on a 10 week "Just for today"
I am a binge eater, and sugar is my biggest downfall. I can do OK if I stay away from sugar, but once I start back eating a little sugar, it is so hard to get back on track. One of my dear MFP made the comment of staying on track, exercising, etc., "just for a day", and I loved that idea. If I can do this just one day,…
