I do the exact samething when I am in a funk, I go for food and still do after 5 years. I lost about 70 lbs 5 years ago and still struggle with these urges and struggles, but like you I love to cook and am going to take your advise when I want something I need to make it. Thank you for your site you are great and help me realize I am not the only one with these struggles, oh yeah and I love greenlittlebites in fact I am making the Mexican Inspired okra orzo stew tonight, My husband is going to love it. Thanks again, Lizzie Roni,

I am a 19 year old college student, just moved into a new apartment. I love testing out your recipes, tricking my brother and my roommate into eating healthier, and for your brutal honesty in all that you do. These internal struggles, I believe, are some of the hardest things to overcome- as a retired gymnast who has struggled with eating on all different kinds of the spectrum, I thank you for your hard work that goes into this site... it has brought me great motivation to love myself, love my body, and be more healthy. Thanks again :) Roni,

I have never commented until now but wanted to suggest that maybe going to a Weight Watcher meeting would help with your "funk". I joined last November and have lost almost 40 lbs. and still have 18 to go. I find the meetings really help me with my mental issues with food. I'm not sure if you've gone to a meeting in a while so I just wanted to suggest it. Keep up all your excellent work. Your site is so helpful!! Roni,

I think it will always be a battle to make the right choice when its so easy to get off track and stay there. You did great though, you should be very proud of yourself!

Those people who don't have this internal struggle have another. KWIM? I really think it's about using what you got. We got this "need to eat" so, ok, let's work WITH it not against. We will ultimately be more satisfied and happy if we do. I really think it's about compromise with ourselves. Thanks everyone, I'm feeling better today alread, even though my appetite is insatiable!

I too always turn to food to "fix" things. In the end i feel worse and disappointed and weak. You have inspired me to keep plugging away-even though i still haven't found the joy of working out-and try my best to have a "good" day. I don't beat myself up as much as i used to when I have a weak day, because you have them too and have been successful in your weight loss. Its posts like this one that remind me I am only human and that I'm not alone in my thinking. Thanks so much for putting your honest thoughts out there for all to read. Hope you have a better day!
