Thanks all. I guess I really struggle with eating issues emotionally. If you want to know why, well, I just poured my heart out on my Daily Check-In (yesterday, incidentally was a failure, namely because my boss took us all out to dinner and bought us ice cream, and I felt like I couldn't refuse ...

Day 17 (6/4/10)--FAIL

I was doing really well, until my boss took us all out to dinner and then got us all ice cream. I felt like it would be rude to refuse. All of my thin co-workers were eating ice cream. Why is it so easy for them and hard for me? I can't even enjoy eating ice cream because I ...

I'm so frustrated. I feel like I make progress (weight loss). Then I have a bad week where I have no time to exercise (really, I mean it), and obey the letter of the law but not the spirit (still eat too much because of my horribly strong appetite--piling food onto the plate because I'm so darn ...
