It also helps to have something to munch on that is good for you. Cheese cubes, pepperoni slices, beef jerky, hard boiled eggs, etc. If they are quick to get finger foods, they will keep your hands busy instead of going to the other stuff.
Topic: RE: Hair Problems
I appreciate the advice! I decided that I would get the non-permanent type hair color because it is supposed to be gentler on the hair. I have really been trying to get in the protein, but I think I do most days! I think the hair loss has slowed just slightly, so maybe I am doing better.

Hi Michelle, I have lost 110 and would like to loose another 6 pounds which would put me at normal on the BMI index charts. If I do not loose it I would still be happy because even at the weight I am now I feel I am so lucky compared to where I was last year at this time. If I could loose another 16 I would be half the person I was than. Deb Ski

I think most of us are here because we are emotional eaters. But knowing that is half the battle....right? Try chewing gum, sugar free mints, brush your teeth or drink some crystal light and chew on some crushed ice... but dont dont go back to the junk food! you can do this. p.s. a walk might help too! michelle

STRESS EATING!!! Well, I know a lot of people have been having a harder time eating the way we should and I am one of them lately! I am going through a divorce right now and my world feels so turned upside down. Some days I don't know if I'm coming or going sort of speak. I have been married for almost 15 years so that's about all I know. Now I'm single, raising two kids, and am eating junky stuff that ends up making me sick everytime I do it. So why do I keep doing it? I know it's stress and sadness making me eat this way, but how do I make myself stop and stay focused on the basic stuff? I don't want to ruin everything I have worked so hard for this last year--namely losing 107 pounds and getting into a size 6/8 clothes. Please keep my kids and me in your prayers this holiday season and any comments on how to get me back on track would be great!
Luv to all,
Charlotte

Pam, This may sound like a lecture but if it is.. it is one to myself.. just warning you 
Just think this time last year.. did you even step on a scale to see if you had gained anything? I didn't. I was so past caring that I didn't even own a scale. It was hopeless.. This time last year could you even imagine being only 5 lbs from goal... not me. There are people out there who live their lives being 10 or 20 lbs overweight.. and live very very happily. I don't think I will ever be "normal" because I'm still addicted to food. I think food will always be my problem. I'll never be one of those who "just can't stop losing". But there is a difference now. I KNOW what thin feels like. I KNOW what it is like to take not just one flight of stairs.. but several.. challenging myself every day to take more and more. I know what it feels like to go to the closet everyday.. and have a wonderful time picking out just what I will wear. I know the thrill of shopping. Never mind that most of mine is done in resale shops of some kind.. I can acutally find clothes in my size that are nice and beautiful and look great on me. We know those feelings now.. and we can fight the good fight and win .. because life is just too darn good to go back to the non-life we had before. So keep these things in perspective and keep our eyes on the goal.. a NORMAL, HAPPY life. It is time to live now.. and move.. wow.. the thrill of it all!!!

Topic: RE: pray for me please
Sharon - This morning I prayed for you to get work soon. It is devastating how companies choose the holiday season to let people go.
Please do not lose your hope and courage. I realize it is easy for me to tell you that, since I am not in your shoes. But be specially kind to yourself and take care of yourself. If you are sick or down, you will not be any good to yourself or others who may depend upon you. And try to be mindful of what you eat and drink, so you remain true to your program. That will take you far. I wish you the best and will remember you in prayer. Just think of how hard you worked to get the surgery and keep up the loss. You will be more marketable than you think. Remember, one door closes and another opens and God has a plan. I have learned many times in this life that things truly happen for a reason.
