I'm so proud of you Cyrilla! You know how to make it work, girl! thanks for posting this. It helps a whole lot

That happens to me! Every time I eat junk food I crave more of it. Argh! Its always hard for me to go right back on track the next day. But the more you succeed the easier it gets. Really buckle down and stay on track, then everything will go smoothly again. Remember, dont let one bad day of eating choices turn into two!

oh my gosh, you have no idea. I have lost 120 pounds now, and people treat me so much differently. But its how i feel that the real reward. I feel like i have a shot at life now. I know i have accomplished something great. And I feel so much happier- more content with life itself, rather than comparing it to a daily chore or something. Embracing happiness- Its the most amazing feeling in the world. To feel like you *deserve* to be happy. Because I have earned it. I cant wait until i am just comfortable in my own skin- thats all I want. And now that i have been through this whole thing, i have so much more compassion and empathy for those who struggle. But its worth it in every way. so worth the fight!

Very inspiring! i'm sure we've all had a moment of realization where it all just gets to us, but thats okay. You've made such an improvement already :] welcome to the site!

This is such a great idea. We should do it lol I have 52 pounds to go, and i have already lost 60, so like a lot of you, i have come a long way, but need the encouragement to keep on going strong.

Welcome to the site :]

I agree with you. To me, empty calories is like a soda... thats 150+ [depending on how much you're drinking] that really gives you no nutrional value whatsoever. infact, its nothing but processed sugar... which is evil.
