hi. I've been a long time member of daily strength but new to this topic. I'm fighting my obesity and losing at the moment. I get lonely and I get angry and then I eat. And I know I'm not suuposed to do that. It's even in the tops pledge we say every week. I feel like I don't have any more strength to fight. I don't want to eat at home anymore. And that causes me to eat more carlories than I otherwise would.


BUT...

I have a bike to ride at home(and I do ride it at least 2x's a week)
I have fellow TOPS memers whom I can call if I only would(I don't know what they'd say...;)
I have the capacity to plan ahead for 3 days at a time.
And I have a husband who will listen to me gripe if I need to.

so I have somewhat of a good system, I just have to make the decision everyday to follow it. And I think That's what My Tops program is going to be about tonight.

I agree it is a battle to control everything and to find that balance. You do seem focused and it is so easy to get down. Just take one day at a time and when we fall down don't beat yourself up. I believe we are all a work in progress. Now don't be so hard on yourself and each day we strive to do better.....hugs....

Yes, it's great to have a support system so you've got that part in the bag, right? It's great to interact with others here and learn some tips on how to keep on the right track.

Glad to have you here with us.

    Usually I get a daily influx of emails on health topics.  An article from Dr. Mercola really stood out recently though because it mentioned that fat cells have their own mitochondria. Not only was this the first I'd heard of this, he also mentioned that fat serves a purpose in our metabolism.  Another new factoid for me.  The bottom line for me was to appreciate that even our fat cells play a...

    I just do not feel well and I really think that it's because I cried yesterday on my way to work about my Aunt who is in the hospital.  I don't think that we will have her much longer.  She is very frail.  Now she needs help eating.  So, this is the third time in a year that I felt this way after crying.  I think crying releases toxins into my body.  I also worked up a sweat at the gym...
