Good Morning Yall. I just had my coffee and Fiber One with blueberries. I love the combo.

If you like sugar-free products I would highly recommend the Sugar-Free Starbucks syrup. You can buy it for $7 at your local Starbucks and that is for an entire LITER. I use it in my coffee each morning. I used it yesterday on top of a sweet potato and it was awesome.

Good morning all

Glad to see you back clarelou and welcome ThighsBeGone:D

Seems like everyone is doing well...I love your avatar fld20..makes me wish for Christmas!

Yesterday went fine...today may be hard as it is raining and will be all day...those days tend to make me want to indulge in warm, comforting foods...to avoid a problem, I intend to do alot of errands, even if it means running around in the rain...

Have a good day all,

Veggie

No Binge Days till New Years: 12/13

Morning
I hope everyones day is going well !!
Veggie those rainy days can be hard .
My days going pretty well . Last night wasnt so great . I chowed down a snickers after a stressful call telling me my 18 month old has ecolli and then an even longer call from the health service lady trying to figure out where he got it from . Thankfully today I've calmed down and I plan to stay away from the junk .
Have a great day everyone!!!

Hi everyone!

I'm a newbie here to 3FC, and just looking for some support to begin my weight-loss journey. I've been struggling with my weight all my life, and I have finally decided to really commit to my goal. Food is my drug, yo-yo dieting is my habit, and cravings are my enemy; but I am ready.

My biggest challenge right now is getting myself to exercise, despite my huge collection of exercise videos sitting in front of my TV. I have started eating healthier, but portion control is the struggle. And I'm worried about the holidays coming up, which means food, food, and more food!

hope everyone has a great day!

Hey all...

fld20 - hope your little one is okay:hug: I can imagine how upset you must have been...do u know where he got it yet? Is he still having GI symptoms?
with all that going on, having just one snickers bar is pretty good in my opinion;). Hope all is better today


JP - Welcome:) We are glad to offer our support...we've all been there, done that with the yo yo and binge stuff...Where do you live? Is it possible for you to get outside to exercise? For me, when I can't get my rear to the gym, I try to walk alot outside...it makes me feel like I'm doing something, and its not as boring to me as going to the gym or a fitness tape/cd..Good luck and try to take it one day at a time..for me, I seem to screw up when I try to think too far ahead ( like I'm not going to do this or that for the next six months) but instead, just tell myself that I will stick to whatever plan I'm on for this day, and worry about tomorrow, tomorrow...

No Binge Days till New Years: 12/13

Thanks Veggie .He's doing quite well actually still some stomach issues but it's a pretty mild case.The Public Health place is working on tracking down a source so I've answered I swear close to 300+ questions last night and today . As for the snickers if I'd had the time to run back to the store I'd have probablly added a few more to the list (good thing I was on the phone alot last night). But all in all much better today .

Welcome Jp !!!!

hi everyone,

thanks for the welcomes!

veggie, i live in milwaukee, wi. which isn't the best in terms of weather. but, i do enjoy walking and have been trying to do that since the weather has been surprisingly good for november. thanks for the tip about taking it day by day. that is definitely where i go wrong, i always plan and plan about what i'm gonna do and eat for the next month that i forget about what i should do now. i shall live in the present! and take it one day at a time. :0)

good evening all

just to let you know i may not be around for a few days...i will try to get on when i can, but if i don't, don't think i've deserted you...i'll be back

Veggie

hi,

does anyone have any tips on avoiding emotional eating? that's one of my big issues. if i'm stressed, sad, depressed, etc, i tend to find comfort in food, especially the high-caloric kind.

any tips or suggestions would be appreciated

jp

Hi Jp - I've started working out when ever I get stressed it keeps my mind busy and I feel alot better than I do when I go pig out.

Veggie- Thanks .My little one is doing really well still some stomach trouble but other wise he's acting fine I just cant wait until it's all over .Have a great few days !!

Good morning all..

Turns out, I will not be away, so here I am!
Hope you are all ok...fld20, glad to hear your little one is one the mend...did they ever id what it came from?

JP - In addition to fld20's good suggestion re exercise, I have found that it sometimes helps me to write down on note cards ahead of time, how I feel immediately after a binge or day of bad eating...how sad I am and disappointed with myself, or how sick I feel or something like that...and then whip out those cards right when I am drawn to the kitchen, refrig, and about to eat badly....just reading how I felt after is sometimes (not always, I admit:p), enough to stop me from doing something I will later regret.

Hope this helps...we're here for you...you can do it..:carrot:

Morning!!

Veggie- They actaully sent a sample to the CDC (they'll compare to other cases of ecoli) so we'll see what they come up with .I'm thinking one of the fast food places we ate at on our way to Montana.Great suggestion about righting it down I might have to try that .

JP- I hope your days going well for you .
