It probably wouldn't hurt to talk to someone. I'm thinking about it as well. I always feel like I'm waiting - I think it's waiting to gain weight. After all everytime I lost weight before I ultimately gained it back. It scares me everyday. I don't want to go back, but it's always happened before and you know what dr phil says - past behavior predicts future behavoir - everytime I think I want to over eat that phrase pops in my head . This is going to be a never ending battle, but I'm hoping that if I stay consistant with my behaviors that this way of eating WILL become habit. **stepping off her soapbox** Hugs to you and feel free to email me anytime.

What I liked about the show "Celebrity Fit Club" was that when the contestant**** a plateau and didn't lose a lot of weight one week, the dietitian/trainer changed up their diet a bit (adding this, removing that) and changing their workouts, too...tweaking it...and it seemed to work, too. Too bad I can't afford a full time trainer and a cook! Paula

Have you tried that knew slim fast. It is a knew kind. It keeps me full for 4-5 hrs. I love it . It is healthy and protein as well. That would be a good breakfast since you dont eat breakfast. You really need to eat breakfast. You are eating to much and you need to stop. protein makes you full. You need to put that first. And water log. Do what Paula says to do. I do that and it helps. Best Wishes Hugs Barb

Micha I use to be obsessive about it but now it just seems like I just don't care but I do!!! I can eat a whole Taco Salad from Taco bell, I didn't think I would ever be able to do that again but I can. I can eat a cup of sausage and tomatoes, cup and half of chili with like 6 crackers and a small salad at one setting, oh yea with a cup of coffee and a brownie on the side. I am just asking for trouble. I am being honest on what I am eating because Iam being stupid and eating this stuff and the only way to help myself is to be honest of what I am doing to sabatoge myself. Before I leave work I am so hungry and for a while there I was eating a pepper jack string cheese and I counted out 10 wheatthins to eat, but then I said the heck with it and ended up with a bag of doritoes and ate them on the way home. I feel like there is something bothering me subcontusly and I am not admitting it but I don't know what it is because whatever it is its making me emotional eat. Its like I don't eat the small meals anymore I drink like 5 cups of coffee at work so I Don't eat breakfast, that is my breakfast!! Maybe I need to go see a shrink about eating disorder or something I don't know!! I just feel like I am going back to bad bad habits and its going to bring me into a bad funk!! errr Thanks for listening to me whine!!

I was watching biggest loser tonight and they were talking about setting a rutine and it being bound to fail eventually cuz our body gets used to it, and you NEED to change it to keep things moving. With the "new" housemembers they got into rutines that worked for them BUT was not willing to change for the house. So I got an idea and I want to know if anyone would like to take the challange with me? Trade 1 thing your confortable with for 1 you don't realy think would work for you? The one food I learned to depend on is string cheese,quick easy protine but alot of sodium And the one excersize I got very confy with was the stair stepper. Who out there is willing to list thier 1 thing, then I will take the names, place them in a bag and Sat when the 9 yr old I babyset gets here I will have her pair up the names and those 2 people trade thier "new"comfort food and excersize with the other one for 2 weeks starting sunday. Come on guys we have tried everything else in the past year and yet we are in the rutine rut and need new ideas...who's with me? Shel
