I'm sure the neighbours think I'm nuts, and I KNOW my baby does, because he just stares at me like I've lost my mind! Keeps his attention, though!

Look at what food you eat, when you eat it, and why you eat it. For example, I used to eat a lot at night because I had trouble sleeping. I wasn't really hungry, but I ate because I was bored and part of me wanted to stay awake. Almost all of that food was sweets and high calorie snacks as well, so I worked on ways to eliminate them by (1) recognizing if I was hungry, thirsty or just bored and (2) eating healthier snacks if I was actually hungry.

Your life will of course be different from mine and everyone else's, so figuring out the little details in your life's patterns can help you know what advise from others applies best to you.

I also want to second having small mini-goals. For me, each 10lbs felt like an an achievement and so I let myself really feel it. I feel like we deserve the pleasure of meeting mini goals and they provide motivation for reaching the next.

You can do it

i hear ya there... i usually get up in the middle of night because of my son needing to bed fed still and lately cause of his teeth so i am also up all hours of the night and find myself munching on garbage ... cookies, chips etc. but since ive decided to cut that stuff out of my home all together i wont have to worry bout snacking on those things but rather snacking at night now :S

Mini Goal


Main Goal

I think that the best thing to do.. is to not think of it as 100lbs... go 10lbs at a time... also reward yourself often! but don't reward your self with food!

Don't think, just do. I once had 100 lbs to lose (and a lot heavier than you) and I am now down 114 pounds. It did not happen overnight. H***, it didn't even happen over an entire year. But, it did happen and it (weight loss) continues to happen. Pick a plan you know you can stick to and proceed to stick to it. As others have recommended, I would also recommend you keep a food diary and limit your calorie intake to 1800-2000/day. And be positive about your weight and your weight loss. No one likes a sad or whiny b****, skinny or fat.
