Well when I am eating low carb I have no problem losing weight. I just have to stay away from wheat bread, flour, sugar, pasta, and other such starchy things. I didn't eat low carb over the holidays, and I gained weight. I can walk 10,000 plus steps a day, if I don't watch the diet, I can't lose the ...

joasia

well I have gained some weight back. Ever since turning 40, it is a lot more difficult to lose weight and keep it off. I have found that eating low carb seems to work.

199.6 I don't feel I overate this weekend, yet I can't seem to leave the upper 190s. I think I might me in denial about how much I am eating. I know sometimes my food choices aren't the best. I have the power to change this. Mind over matter and stop stress eating.

yesterday I did good until dinner. Ate breakfast and lunch, no snacking, no sweets, no sweet drinks or juice. But then around 4 p.m. I lost it. I don't know what it is about the afternoon. Well today is a new day

joasia

My most difficult time of day is after 3 p.m. I am so used to sitting on the couch watching t.v. and snacking. Even though I eat a good hearty breakfast and lunch. But I am going to try to power through. some of it is hunger - but most of it is stress and emotional/comfort eating. I comfort myself ...

joasia

I know what I need to do, but I have been choosing to stress eat instead of doing the right things. My way of dealing with stress is excess, and that is the main problem

yes, all of my education and experience is focused in one area. and at this point in my life I would have to start all over again. So I do feel stuck. It would be helpful if I felt some hope

joasia

thanks worth it

your words of encouragement are so nice to hear - I have worked here for 15 years and have hated it. But I feel stuck. I want to find some new hope that I can find a job that I don't feel hopeless at

I think one of the hallmarks of success is eating at home more and homemade meals. Unless you live near a whole foods market or some organic health food restaurant type place, regular fast food and restaurant chains are just not that healthy. And yes I know some offer "healthier" options and yes I ...

I need to correct some of my damaging behavior as of late:

start walk regularly, not sporadically
cut out the sugar, soda, candy, etc.
cut out the snacking on junk food chips, etc
eat at home more and eat out less, especially fast food
stick to water, tea, and coffee

I have let these bad habits ...

Thank you HotIce

joasia

yesterday was ugly. so I am surprised I am only up one pound. I need to nip this spiral of out of control binge eating. I can do it.

joasia

189.8

sigh, I thought it would be less, I didn't eat much this weekend. I even went down to 185 Saturday. But then I ate and drank sugary stuff on Sunday. sometimes i get very tired of struggling with my body and my weight

joasia

better than yesterday, I can do even better today

joasia

My dad is having surgery today. I am stressed. And I really need to get back on track with eating. It is not a good feeling to be in a spiral of uncontrolled binging and stress eating. not good at all.

joasia

189.6

I ate like a crazed person yesterday. I walked 5 miles, but it goes to show you that exercise alone won't help if your eating is out of control. I feel sad and hopeless today

joasia

187. something. My goal today is to walk. Also, to cut down on the junk food. I have been eating way too much processed foods, fast food, convenience food, and sugary food. There is no excuse for it.

joasia

190.9

yeah, I'm trying not to panic. But this stops today.

joasia

I didn't weigh myself this morning, because I knew it would be bad. And quite frankly I didn't want to beat myself up about it all day. I have been binge eating as a response to stress. I ate so much last night, I don't even want breakfast. I have to get this under control and get this upward spiral ...

yes stress eating has taken a toll. but I want to take control today.

The reason I can't consider 180 as my goal weight is because it still puts me in the obese category on the BMI scale. I am five foot five and at the very high end of my weight range I should weigh 145-150. which isn't my ...

joasia

Still struggling but not giving up. I have to remember that I've lost 88 pounds. And that's a success
