First Day

I heard Beyonce did it lol The only thing that worries me about any of those specialty diets is that you may lose weight while you're on it, but as soon as you start eating real food again you gain all the weight back. At least that's what happened to me when I cut out carbs back in the day lol. Let me know what you find out!

Pizza is one of my favorite things. I would cheat to have a good slice too! Since it is so hard for me to say no to it sometimes I started making my own form of pizza. It is on a flatbread dough with chunks of tomatoes, chopped onions, basil, and feta cheese. It is so good and not bad for you! Just in case you need a pizza fix in the future. As for now enjoy the good think dough! You'll get back to it girl. Sometimes life throws us a curve ball and we just have to knock it out of the park by adjusting ourselves and even our diets. I'm so happy to hear your mom is doing better. She is still in my prayers along with you. Stay strong and you can get through this rough patch. <3

so glad to hear your mom is doing better. that pizza sure does sound good. you enjoy it right down to the last bite. next week you will get back to your routine and be feeling great!!!

aww its ok im sure your doing good with your diet:)

i know exactly what you mean and i know the feeling

Right now focus on your mom. Times like this it is hard to concentrate on diet and exercise. There is no magic way to stay on target at times like these. When my dad was in the hospital I used to bring in meals for him and I to share like sandwiches and yogart. He loved having something besides hospital food and I ate better than I would have at the cafe in the hospital. If that is something you have time to do I would recommend it. If not then don't worry too much about that. Try your best and that is all you can ask. Times like this you need to be with your loved ones and sometimes that means not eating the best. My thoughts and prayers are with you. Right now I'm sure it feels like the pressure is building up and the walls are coming down but you will find your way out of this situation. Stay strong girl! <3

Oh, I'm so sorry about your mom, was she still there visiting you? I hope she is going to be ok. I am sure you are under a lot of stress right now and if your like me and many others you think you need to eat your way through it. Try not to worry to much about missing your workouts during the time your mom is in the hospital, it will only cause more stress. If you can't fit it in....you can't. As far as eatting you do need to keep up your strength. See if the hospital has a salad bar or even soup in their cafe. Take care and I hope your mom is up and around soon. Maxine

Happy Birthday Girl! Good for you taking a day. I think many people don't ever take time for themselves and that's just not living. Hope it was a great birthday!

Hey Kristina im catherine's son. Your doing great.!

i know exactly what you mean!

Heartbreak is the hardest thing to overcome even with food. Remember all the food will taste & feel good for the moment but after you will still be hurt & you will have to try to get back on the wagon too. It is so hard to keep going at a time like this. I always find a sweet fruit to munch on if I need something (like watermelon). It helps me because it is sweet enough to quench that need but doesn't ruin the diet. Keep with it girl! You can do it!

awww Krystina, I am sorry for the emotional turmoil you're going through. Food is such a comfort and a friend to us when we can't control what's going on in our hearts. But once the oreo bag is empty, the pain is still there. Only time is going to help the feelings, you don't want to make it worse by back stepping on all the progress you've made this past week. Your value as a person is inside of you, not in someone else's opinion of you. So put down the snacks, go look in the mirror and tell yourself 3 positive things about you. go ahead, I'll wait til you get back......lol. Keep making good decisions for you. In time the heart will heal and you will have an outside that will match the beautiful inside. Keep eating well and exercising. BTW, exercise releases endorphins which create happy feelings in us. So instead of eating away your sadness, walk it off. Stay strong.

I'm really glad to hear the work outs seem to be going better for you now. You'll be back at it full force before long. WTG on resisting snacks! I'm doing great through the day but evenings are still really hard. I have found myself going to bed earlier just so I won't eat. It sounds like you're really in a groove now - I am way proud of you! Keep it up. Here's to feeling good and living healthy!

Congrats! That's an awesome feeling. I'm so proud of you. Keep it up girl!

Goog job on the 3lbs. Do you have something to treat yourself to when you reach your goal?
