General Discussion / Food, food everywhere and not a bite to eat!
« on: February 25, 2013, 11:04:42 AM »
So, I'm finding that my biggest struggle with eating happens while I'm at work. I'm a private nanny, and am responsible everything dealing with the kids, including meals. I'm OK with cooking for them and not eating what I cook, but then I realize that there is literally nothing in their house I can eat that is FTS approved.
I guess my only way around not eating their high carb food is to pack my own, that will be tough, however, because I start work very early, and don't get home till after dinner some nights, and by that point, the last thing I want to do is plan meals..?? Any suggestions on quick, packable meals I could take to work? 
I would really appreciate the help!
Thanks!

So, I really wanted to share this with all you ladies.

My husband and I have been wanting to start a family for a little while now, but i've been having some problems with my periods. Nobody had any idea how to get my periods to start back up again, and I was really worried for a while....
I've been FTS-ing for a 4 days now, and wouldn't you know it, I had my first period in over a year! Looks like i'm normal and healthy. My husband and I are SO excited! <3

Three days into the FTS life style change, and I'm down 5 lbs! I'm celebrating my first small victory!  :P It's even convinced my husband to start too. We raided our house of the "poison" we were eating, and are planning our first FTS dinner together. We are pumped! My goal weight loss is 90lbs, and that number no longer seems so impossible.

(I've attached a picture to show just how excited I am!)

Hello!
Wow, where to begin.
I'm only 20 years old, and I weight 250 lbs.  :( Like most of you, I've tried just about all the diets that are out there. I've seen my family lose weight, and gain, lose weight again, and obsess over it. So much so that it's driven some of them to depression! I've finally realized that the main reason I've never been successful, is that I'm AFRAID to be successful. Afraid to lose weight and gain it back, afraid that eating right will consume my life so much that I'll be miserable. These are very real fears for me, and I'm sure I'm not alone. I grew up a "fat" kid, who lived with "fat" parents and "fat" siblings. I've watched my mom go from 300 lbs, to 140 lbs, and then back up to 250 lbs. I watched my sister go anorexic, and start losing her hair, then in a matter of months, gain all her weight back. I've watched my brother (just turned 16) who weighs more than I do, deal with the teasing, and being picked on every day. I AM TERRIFIED....and yet, I want it SO bad. I'm too young to be this fat. My life has hardly begun. I recently got married (to the man of my dreams) and he too, struggles with weight. We've only been married for two months now, and already we have half as much energy as we did while we were dating. Mainly due to the fact that we've each gained about 40 pounds since we got engaged.

My husband and I were in Barnes and Nobles the other day, and I came across the FAT to SKINNY book (those bright colors sure help to be noticed!) I purchased the book, and have been reading it since. The facts about sugars, and carbs I know already (I'm pretty sure I could qualify as a nutritionist!) but what really stuck out was the testimonies! I couldn't believe everywhere I read huge amounts of weight were being dropped in a matter of months. I want this! So dear people on this wonderful forum, how on earth do I get over my fear of failure, and move to push forward?

Sincerely to all,
Mrs.T
