Mia, If it helps, take a look at the Life Is Hard, Food Is Easy thread that I've posted. The idea is that the first two bites are the nurturing ones, after that, you're just fueling your body. I hope you don't mind, but next time your Grandma offers just a "little something", then ask her to just gi...

Oh Deb, I would love to say that I could become diabetic, but I know my Aunt. Her reply would probably be, "Don't talk crap! Here, eat your cake." Hey Mia, I appreciate your kind words.

Hi Y'all, Here's some thoughts for week 2: "Put Food In Its Place Think about all the situations when your food intake has nothing to do with hunger or nutiritional needs. As you move toward managing emotional eating, you may need to redefine how you approach food, including why and when you will ea...

you may have to force yourself to eat cake (a chore, I know). TP, I like your sense of humour, but you speak the truth. Allowing for snacks does nothing to change the habit of snacking. We know that snacking is to blame for the excess weight many of us here are now learning to lose. It's that slipp...

TP: This topic is right on, saying no doesn't make us bad people - it makes us sane, healthy people who are standing up and taking care of ourselves. Although I will always say yes to cups of tea, I love my tea, but the biscuits and the cheesy things are NO NO NO! I have one head-strong relative, al...

MIa, I like this decision because it will help you reinforce the new habit of no snacking. Yes, you'll need to do the seconds for awhile, but I think that's so much better than allowing the snacking to worm its way back in and eventually you end up eating more than you should. Starting with just eat...

In the news a short while back, a comparison study was done between North Americans (Canadians or Americans or both, can't remember) and the British in terms of diet and cardiovascular disease.
