I just started eating like a normal person. That's all that is ever required with me. I do enjoy a good overeating.

This is me, I will do really well with eating, then go on a binge....like I did yesterday, so not weighing myself today, lol.

But lately I'm trying to walk at least an hour, 6 days a week. Every morning I have a Rockstar energy drink. That has really helped, I think the vit B and taurine, two things I don't get as a vegetarian, more so than the caffine. For breakfast I have either oatmeal, or fiber1 cereal with yogurt and soy milk.

Lunch I try to do a big huge salad. That way, I feel like I get to eat a lot for very little calories. I add pine nuts and/or low-fat feta for my protein to it.

Dinner I sometimes do a Palak Paneer tv dinner (about 300 calories) or garden burger and veggies. Sometimes we go out to eat and I do a quesadilla and salad.

So I'm trying to do a lot more veggies, less junk food. Although yesterday, i had a big bowl of chips and some cookies...must not bake those damn things again, I can't stay away.

I'm trying to snack on pumpkin seeds, or veggies, but I had a tuff couple of days and I reach for food...my addiction. It is a really hard one to break, and why I go up and down within a 3lb range.

I don't know if any of you are like me, but I'm a carb addict, and it reacts just like alcohol does to an alcoholic, once I eat some I want a LOT more. That is my biggest obstacle to dieting, I have to cut the carbs from everything but whole grains and veggies, or I set myself up to binge. I had a really rough day on Sunday, and I reached for food, and that is so hard to stop. I'm working on it, I'm glad there are others though by your up and down weight that struggle with eating too much too.
