i like string cheese as a go to snack when i am hungry but don t have time to sit and eat..

you will be fine don t over think it. Biggest things after surgery....walk around like they tell you to...follow directions don t push yourself take your time when you eat when you eat pay attention..eat slowly one small bite at a time.

I would inform her that your doing it so its not secret..and then do it...its for you not her and so what if her family knows...I have had my husbands family make so nasty comments...screw them do it for you!

chew chew and then chew some more ...that was my biggest problem I kept forgetting some foods require mre chewing then others.

where is irvine at I am in houston texas...I too moved here in 2004 from San Deigo California...

your not a loser and we are our worse critics.....you will have days like this its all in your mind...I am sure your an awesome person...Chin up make this day your B**ch!

i get b**ch smack by my band once in awhile...straightens me right up...the joke in my house is my band has a pimp hand...please do not get offended anyone!

what does the very cold water do?

a quick tip when that happens write down what you ate so as to keep a list of possible no's that way if it happens again you know that item is no longer allowed at all.

I have onethat has pink and purple flowers...so my family would not steal it and use it

had two last night I think it works well because I am not feeling totally deprived and I got two more waters in..

me I am all about thrift store shopping cause its cheaper and you can find some greats stuff

time to tell him to back off in a nice way cause he is not helping at this point

I have a water with a shot of apple vodka with a crystal light peach drink mix...low calorie and yummy...

I am pretty awesome....

put you first that it...we can find a million reasons not to do something...me personally I want to do crazy things but my weight stops me..so in order to live like I want I must do this...I hate being the fat chick on the back of our motorcycle...I want to snorkel in mexico...I want to skydive...not going to let this weight stop me...buck up sweetie and enjoy life!!!

just a FYI when I go out for drink with the old man i ask for a water with a shot of apple vodka then add a crystal light peach to it...its yummy and low calorie...

he means well he wants to help you get to your goal but we women don t like it..Mine does it too...but I know he means well and I love him for it and he gets to finish all my extra food when we go out i only eat a few bites and then hand him my plate likes the benefits...if you get bored go window shopping or anything that will take your mind off eating...I usually jump in my car and take a nice drive with the top down( I have an convertible) it make me happy find your happy thing and when you get to the stir crazy thing go do it.

I am a bad water drinker but I remember that I was told it helps in losing weight and sometimes when we are dehydrated it makes us think it hunger so we eat when we don t really need to be...learning to do it again myself have a bottle in my car, one by my bed for first thing in the morning and one at my desk at work...

start finding fun exercising like zumba classes or something else...I hate exercise but I just recently starteing doing 5k's but they are themed based like i did a night one where we all wear glow in the dark paint and light up stuff...it makes it fun and turns your focus to doing something fun...get a wii and play fitness games its fun...but if you make it a pain and think about it too much it will just be a chore and no one likes chores..

go to a jewelry store that have little guards that they can put on them that you can adjust so you can still wear your rings..most jewelry stores have them and they are usually free

I don 't run at all I walk them I have arthritis in my knees and lower back...they are fun this one is not timed at all...your more than welcome to come out...

don t beat yourself up I too am just getting back on the wagon..start over...thats what I had to do..I just recently came back to this site and I am reading thru the post of the sucessful people and talking to them to help me alone my journey...get back on the wagon....

the one this weekend is a color one so we all weat white and you get color bombed!!!
