I have not binge ate since doing this program and I have been at my 1700cal a day! Thank you to everyone!!! we can do this! Its a new week tomorrow we have to steer clear of work snacks,cookies ec. Pick healthy choices, pretzels, bottled water, juice, V8, yogurt, Cottage cheese with fruit! Think of what balances protein, like an apple with 2tbsp of peanut butter! or String cheese and an orange!
So true. Important for me is choosing what to allow into the house. Have learned from past efforts, I'm unable to stock up on even "healthy" items (nuts, pretzels, peanut butter) if it's one of my binge triggers. I figure if it's not in the cupboard, I can't use it to overeat at 2:00 am Planning has helped to curb my thoughts about overeating.
Hi I'm Haley can I hang out with you girls? I just was weighed at my doctor's so I'll weigh again Friday after next...my weight is 307. This week is final exams and I have been eating carbs nonstop....it feels hopeless!! The thing is I must have pulled a muscle a couple months ago, because after I exercise and/or when I lay down this one part of my back hurts so bad I can't take it! I want to exercise before one of my exams tomorrow but I don't want to be in so much pain when I go to school at 2 cause I would be in pain the rest of the day! My doctor said to give it a couple more months ugh....also I have a daughter, I'm vegan and hypothyroid...the supplements don't help with my energy or anything it stinks
Hey you guys! Can I join in too? Love the motivation you have on here!
Hopefalls - I subscribed to your sexy valentine's day one. Just FYI
Christy - thanks for starting this! I too like that we'll be supporting each other all through winter (which is cold in Ohio) AND! my birthday is Saturday May 1st!! Imagine if I am near my goal weight by then!!
Haley - Sounds like you're under some stress!! Hang in there. Listen to your body. If you can only walk as your exercise then so be it. Lower back pain is not unusual but it WILL go away. Good luck with your exams!
I had a wretched food day today. ugh. But there's always tomorrow. On the positive side I am not going to be eating after 7:00pm. I can hear the food calling me from downstairs.... I am ignoring it.
I'll check in with you tomorrow. I had good advice on another string that I shouldn't lurk because checking into 3FC can remind me I am worthy and have support!

Hi, Haleygirl! My name is Kai. I noticed your starting weight was 330, and now you're 307...congrats on your weight loss! Welcome aboard! I'm new to the board, too.
Realme2010-Thank you so much! I have only 2 exams left thankfully...I'm going to try and no I'm going to keep track of my food today. My friend mentioned a heat pack for my back so I'm going to look into that!
Slimming-Hi Kai! Thanks but unfortunately I HAD gone down to 247 but then I quit smoking ciggs just about a year and a half ago.....and now I'm 307...very frustrating lol
I totally screwed up today. I had a very weak moment. I started thinking about all the holiday parties I've been invited to, and I just literally panicked. I started going through my closet and trying on every piece of clothing that I thought would look good on me, and I was devastated! Everything was either too small or too big. The "too-big" stuff made me look like a whale, and the "too-little" stuff made me look like an overstuffed turkey...I just lost it! I ended up going to the grocery store and buying some sugary foods, took them home, and ate most of them. Then, I got furious with myself and threw the rest away.
I can either get back On Plan tomorrow or continue to sulk. I'm going to get back On Plan. Forget those holiday parties! How will I explain this to my friends? Almost all of them are thin and fit into any little cute outfit, and they always get tired of me complaining about the way I look. Well, I'm trying to do something about my weight.

Happy Holidays!
