Help!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thank you so much Tiffany. I will try the protein approach, but my problem with that always was I HATED the whey protein stuff. Tastes NASTY. Soy, no problem. But its hard to find GOOD tasting soy protein drinks that don't cost that much. See there in lies the stress. I barely have enough money to pay my bills and pay for daycare, protein drinks/bars are NOT cheap. AS they always say FAT is cheap and it's true. Now of course I can do Turkey bacon and stuff most of the time when I eat meat it is either turkey burger, turkey sausage, turkey bacon. I try to snack on peanuts or soynuts. I also love cheese, but its my sweet tooth thats killing me the most. I did do something last night BEFORE bed. I had made a chocolate cake for my boyfriends son over the weekend and I would get up in the middle of the night and snack on it. I THREW the rest away in the middle of the night so the temptation was not there. Now in the middle of the night last night I ate 2 times once at 2am it was an apple breakfast bar and 2 peanut butter crackers, then at 4am I ate a strawberry breakfast bar with 2 more crackers and a few cheese its to get the saltness craving. So far this morning I had 1 sausage biscuit and a lemon pudding cup. I am now drinking my coffee with creme and sweet and low. For lunch I will have 1 small pork chop, mashed potatoes with cheese and steamed broccoli. I know that sounds healthy. Most of the time when I eat actual meals I do good. But its the in between that kills me. I will walk 1 1/2 miles today right before lunch if it kills me. I PROMISE. While its still kinda cool. I have my clothes to change into and I have my MP3 player, so I can walk to the beat. I will post what I eat everyday and I WILL BE honest. I know I can not be judged by yall, you have all gone thru what I have so you understand. Thank all of you so much for all your love and support, you don't know how much it means to me. I KNOW I can beat this. THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!! Melissa

Melissa, Please stop beating yourself up. I too am struggling and have now gained to 144, my lowest was 134 and my goal is 125. I do plan on getting there. I am sorry you are struggling so much. I think most people live paycheck to paycheck and being a single parent does make it worse for you. As far as exercising why not use your daughter to help you. Lay down on the floor and put your daughter on top of your legs while they are bent, as you hold her in place lift your legs up, she will giggle and you will have better muscles in your legs. I wish you luck and as others have said we are here for you. Maybe if you post more you can stay more on track and we can help out. Hugs, Chris
