While I agree with the prevailing advice that you need to stay calm and non-confrontational, I would find that REALLY difficult. My inner witch-with-a-b would feel the overwhelming need to...

OK, I like The daVinci Code, but tried another Dan Brown book and found it sorely lacking.

Whoa, that's a delicate position to be in - babysitting for someone whose practices are completely at odds with what should be common sense. I couldn't, in good conscience, give anyone's kids pop in...

Plain and simple, get the triggers out of the house! That's not to say that you can never have ice cream in the house again, but for now, remove the temptation. I can generally keep things in the...

OK, I worked out last night (elliptical + light weights), and was 140 this am., which is basically what I went in to Christmas weighing, so I'm pleased with that. I got off easy, because I ate a LOT...

I try to stay away from, what did your DH call them, "Frankenfoods"?, too. So I usually cook from cookbooks that provide all the nutritional info. My favourites are the 3 from the "Looneyspoons"...

Hi

I'd definitely go with brown-bagging it. Even with portion control, school cafeterias aren't generally known for their low-fat food prep techniques, not to mention all the sodium in the...

Boy, I know how you feel! The big thing for me is to NOT take that first bite of something that I pretty much know will start a binge. It's a lot easier to stop at 0 bites than at 3 or 4. If I'm...
