Today is another one of those days where I feel so completely helpless, like regardless of my efforts my weight just doesn't shift. Like, honestly there is never a morning I wake up and put my clothes on, that I feel a little weight loss. I am eating so healthy and now taking up running more than twice a week, I am on that medication for my insulin levels, going on third week now and still nothing...like seriously, I am absolutely frightened to even attempt to get on the scale.

Today, I could easily resort to going back to those days were starvation was the only thing that worked for me, but I desperately don't want to go back to feeling that way, lifeless, no energy and a constant mental fight!!!!

If you keep the faith, and continue seriously to eat correctly and to exercise, you WILL ultimately lose sufficient weight to get to whatever your weight goal may be. Some of us do this more slowly than others, but in the end you will prevail. Don't feel let down, don't be discouraged, don't give up now! It's a very hard thing, I know, but it really is doable and you'll be wonderfully proud of yourself at the end! Take care. And best of luck!

I can totally feel for you. For me, my biggest problem comes between three and four oclock at work. Its almost like my body goes into a panic and wants to binge on anything and everything (trust me, I work in a plant nursery, you can ALWAYS find something to eat).

Once I started taking a good solid multi vitamin and having good rounded meals, the need for those binges decreased. Its been a great feeling. Just today, while face to face with two boxes of cookies and "treats" I was able to just have one bite and not over stuff myself and choke down my emotions (which are really just that I'm sick of being at work by this part of the day).

You can do it!
