Re: TeacherJ's Journal
Hi ladybird! Yes, I think keeping a journal is helpful especially since I don't have anyone in my life to walk this journey with. DH is supportive, but doesn't quite "get it" since he is a naturally slim man. I don't like sharing at work either because people tend to add their opinions or assume thi...

Re: TeacherJ's Journal
The last time I posted in my journal was 1 year ago. I had figured out a plan, but somehow, I got sidetracked. I don't even remember why. One day I just realized I wasn't following the plan anymore. I feel like a failure for sure. Another year gone by and I still have the same weight problem plus I ...

Re: TeacherJ's Journal
Checking in I am still on the path. I have worked my way down to three meals. I found that if I just plan to eat a small meal when I get home that I don't want the dinner that I prepare for the family. I kept thinking I needed to eat a "proper" meal for dinner, but I don't. So, a typical day may loo...

Re: TeacherJ's Journal
I have had a pretty good week, but I am terrible about logging in here. :oops: 5k steps does take intention. It is much harder on weekends. I am thinking of upping my target on weekdays and lowering my target on weekends. I can get at least 4k at work and then hit my 5k mark by moving a little more ...

I really prefer forums. I have tried to join some Facebook groups, but it is hard to have a discussion with that format.

Re: TeacherJ's Journal
Hello again! Life has been crazy, but things are starting to calm down. I really want to get back to checking in here daily. Right now, I am eating 4 times per day. I accepted the fact that I need that small snack between lunch and dinner. I try to make it a protein based snack so I don't set off cr...

Re: TeacherJ's Journal
Well, I made it through the first two weeks of school. It was major stressful. All I could do was come home and crash on the couch most days. My goal is to start checking in daily. I think it helps with accountability. I am sticking to the NO SNACKING habit. I add some sugar free chocolate or a prot...

Re: TeacherJ's Journal
Teaching has certainly changed. I love working with the students, but COVID really damaged things for me. It will pass in time. I just have to figure out how to not let the stress overwhelm me. I think controlling my eating is a good way to do that.

Re: TeacherJ's Journal
Thanks ladybird and soprano! I think some of it is anxiety about the upcoming school year. I will be at a new school this year. I will also be teaching a new grade level. Then there are all the COVID issues to worry about. I am having a hard time because there are so many unknowns, and I don't feel ...

Re: TeacherJ's Journal
We got hit by a stomach bug at my home. All I could get down were a few crackers. Everyone is better now. I should be good to go with my eating plan.
So last week was a definite S Week...haha.

I am NOT looking forward to menopause. I have heard so many horrors. My doctor told me not to worry. She said just because one woman has a certain symptom doesn't mean every woman will have it. I heard her, but I am still terrified.

oolala, it's good to know that this has worked for someone else. It's hard to "trust the food" sometimes, so hearing it from other people is encouraging.

Hi Linda, I love zucchini bread. I haven't had it in ages, but my mom used to make it. I like reading about French culture. I think it would be neat to go to a French restaurant. I don't know how tall you are, but our stats seem similar. I am probably around 200ish pounds. I would love to get to 130...

Re: A summer of learning
Thank for the great insights ladies.
I would not be surprised if I were to be diagnosed with insulin resistances. Diabetes and PCOS runs in my family. I think monitoring my carb intake is the most important decision I have made for my health.

TeacherJ's Journal
I started following a low carb diet in June. This allowed me to get a handle on my cravings. Sweets and starchy junk foods are my biggest problem. Even though I felt great eating low carb, I wasn't losing weight. After reflecting and reading I realized I was eating too many calories. I had exchanged...

A summer of learning
Hello I am a teacher who has found some balance with eating this summer. Normally, I work in the summer, but this year I decided to take time for me. I was really stressed this past school year due to the COVID issues. I have been overweight for about 15 years, and this year I decided to do somethin...
