Example: people get cancer and die ( even people they know) yet still smoke cigarettes. We want to lose weight and do soooo great, then end up eating just enough over the allowed calorie limit, to not continue to lose! Is it a fear of success? What did you do when you would get "stuck"?

I wonder if even people who don't have an obvious weight problem also make choices they regret. Probably. Leah – Of course you aren’t the only one!

The food we eat does impact our weight, but the food doesn't control us. You will get on top of this if you keep working on it! Thanks for the comment. Margo – It’s not about the food.

Just acknowledge them, and move on. I know that's easier said than done, but it will help you not get bogged down and feel self defeated. Thank you for coming by.

I have to laugh at myself sometimes when I'm loading up a cart at Sam's now - not to get a bunch of treats, but to buy food for the family. I never dreamed Sam's would be my "grocery store!" As far as your handling of emotional eating - I think your advice is right on, and something I still do to this day. Thank you for sharing that. Jody – I haven’t seen that commercial!

I like the phrase you've been using to help you get through tough food choices. It really helps to have a "personal mantra" like that. Angie – Thanks for reading!
