Happy 4th to all. I am going to try and stay with my diet today. I have been sneaking frozen yogurt a few times this past week. I shouldn't, but I have been feeling deprived. I used to eat a lot of sweet things during the day. I inherited my father's sweet tooth. The sweets got me in trouble. I had started a medication for my bi-polar disorder that made me gain about 90 pounds within a year. I felt so depressed at the time that I really didn't care. I got little enjoyment out of life. My daughter was little and I felt that I wasn't a good mom because of it. I wish I would have been able to do more for her. My hubby was great about everything that I was dealing with. I was able to stay home with my daughter. I will forever be thankful that I have him. At times when I felt manic, I would feel up to losing weight. I would eat healthy and workout. Then the depression would set in again and I would gain it back. I have done this a few times. This time I started a workout program that I really liked. It started out slow and I felt weak, but I built up some strength. I have been eating healthy since then. My mind has transformed and so has my body. I feel healthy again after 10+ years. I still have to deal with my bi-polar disorder, but I am not as depressed as I used to get. I still have to fight with the problems it causes daily, but I feel stronger. I wish I would have found fatsecret sooner. Everyone is so kind and offers support. It is a great community to be a part of. I am thankful for everyone and wish them all success on their journeys.

*Hugz* Been there emotionally. Exercise helps a lot for me. Not just for the calories, mostly for the mental.

Thank you. I agree with you. Exercise helps me too. Especially yoga for me. :*)

Is there a way that you can schedule those sweets into your meal plan so you don't have to feel like you are sneaking? I have chocolate or icecream almost every day. Would fruit satisfy your desire too? It has helped me so much to focus on what I can have instead of thinking of what I can't.

If I have fruit, I still feel like I have to have something sweeter. I used to eat a chocolate mint cookie bar just about every night. I since found that I may have an allergy to gluten, so those are out. :*( I haven't been diagnosed, but I have been removing it from my diet and feel better. I am going to try, like you said, to work it in everyday. Even if it's just a 1/2 cup of frozen yogurt.

Emotional eating! It takes a lot of focus to reprogram how we react and what we reach for. Try to find a way to work your sweets into your weekly meal plan. Knowing that you have a sweet later that day or the next can be very helpful and keeping emotional eating under control. Instead of reacting and eating you'll be able to plan for when you get your sweet treats.

Hi Mrs.Magyk. I read your story and wanted to say I go through the same thing. I am 33 years old and have always struggled with losing and gaining constantly. I'm new to this app but it seems great and supportive and hoping to accomplish my goals. It's great that you have accomplished your goal!

Joelmel, I completely agree with you. The emotional eating is what got me in trouble in the first place. I just realized that the protein shakes that I have almost daily contain sugar. Should I use that as my sweet treat of the day? I think I will feel deprived if I don't have something like a dieter's fudge bar, frozen yogurt, etc.

Mrsmagyk, try to find a low carb protein shake. That will free up some calories for lower carb fruits like blueberries, strawberries, etc.
I'm a fan of Premier Protein shakes. I know some people poo-poo protein shakes in general, but at 160 calories, 30 grams of protein, and 4 total carbs of which 1 is fiber, they keep my protein level up and carb cravings at bay.

I will have to do some investigating. Thanks!
