So...time to modify and eat more healthy.

My daughter got married. Talk about a stressor. and it was complicated. So add more stressors. I ate and ate and ate and ate all the wrong things. Things i have been told NOT TO EVER EAT AGAIN.

so...I feel like i did when i quit drinking...prepared for the jonesing and scared of it. Its not the weight I am worried about. Its the lifestyle. I will kill myself if I keep doing this. And just because the wedding is over doesnt mean the complications are...and they will keep me eating like this...

but they wont. I need to stop.

I am not suppose to have carbonated drinks.

Nor sugars

Nor whites

I am going to fast for a day to get this stuff out of me and then work slowly into introducing foods back to me.

Welcome to the thread, dear friend.
All here are supportive with all kinds of tips
and tricks.....
I just learned a new one on Sunday.
I was watching Extreme Makeover - Weight Loss Edition
when one of the commercials came on and it was the trainer.
He was talking about drinking plenty of water.....
But, did you know that cold water leaves your stomach quicker than warm water? Nor did I.....
He said that if you wanted to rehydrate after exercise
to drink cold water but f you wanted to curb
cravings or to tide you over to the next meal,
to drink warm (unrefrigerated water).
I have taken it a step further and drink cold water with my meals
so that hopefully it washes all the calories out!

Good luck with your quest to ease your stress
and make good healthy decisions....We are
all rooting for y'all!!
