A weight loss story
I was stressed out today and hungry after lunch, so I sat here at my computer and pigged out on Kashi Honey Sunshine cereal. That stuff tastes just like Cap’n Crunch, except it’s allegedly healthier. I dunno, is “organic evaporated cane juice” really any better than “high fructose corn syrup”? When I eat too many [...]
I ate another piece of halloween candy today. One piece does not kill a diet, so as long as you can resist pigging out, it’s okay. It helps to make a mental agreement with yourself before you eat that one piece, that it WILL only be ONE. I chose a Nestle crunch bar. It tasted [...]
Even tho I didn't enjoy that almond joy i ate earlier, i still want more candy. Help!
I bought my Halloween candy this morning. As I wrote the other day, I always wait till the last minute so bags of candy aren't sitting around tempting me for weeks! I just now dumped them into a big bowl. I got almond joy, milky way, nestle crunch, and baby ruth. I decided I would [...]
I remember when I first started my weight loss journey back in 2002. I was using the slimfast plan: slimfast for breakfast and lunch, a couple small healthy snacks like fruit or string cheese, and a normal dinner, paying attnetion to serving sizes.

Here are some tips for surviving Halloween: buy candy for the trick-or-treaters that you DON'T LIKE. Do not buy anything that you do like. For me, that means NO CHOCOLATE Oh, and buy it the same day as trick-or-treat! I used to buy three bags of snickers as soon as they sold them in stores. [...]
Sometimes I read the weight loss stories on CNN’s website. Here’s a really good one: Tracey Wygal weighed 295 pounds before starting a “clean diet,” keeping a food journal and exercising. Hardly a day that goes by that you won’t find Tracey
I finally stepped on the scale today after avoiding it for several months. The good news is that I did not gain weight over the holidays. The bad news is that I am still just shy of 150 lbs. I weigh 148 lbs. I'd really like to be 140.
Have you ever experienced a fat loss "plateau" where you were losing fat just fine for a while, but then your progress suddenly stopped for NO apparent reason? Have you ever lost lot of bodyfat successfully, but then it seemed almost impossible to get rid of the last 10-15 pounds?
I successfully navigated my way through the fattening fall feasts of 2007. I did not eat any butterfingers at Halloween. I did eat a few carefully chosen candy bars from my 13 year old daughter's candy stash. I selected things that were chocolate, but not so yummy that I couldn't stop eatting them. Like Nestle's [...]
