Right now I'm working on using coping skills instead of running to food when I'm stressed. My eating plan is based on counting calories and staying away from food triggers.
For exercise I'm walking 3 or 4 days a week in my neighborhood. There are a lot of other folks out walking so it feels safe.
This is a great thread. Thanks for sharing everyone.

I give you a lot of credit! Staying away from food triggers is almost impossible! One can't open a magazine or turn on a TV without seeing mouth watering ads for some forbidden calorie riddled food!
My problem is that every time I try and cut down and eat more healthy, I'll get a craving for some damn thing I ain't had in years! Last time it was a craving for banana splits!
