I would like to understand the recognising overeating and the motivational parts for starters. I am a insulin dependent Diabetic so I have to watch my carbs. and your recipes look great— have a piece of fudge without the guilt, I just have to get controls to walk away and do things to occupy my time and get food off my mind. When I go to sleep at night I lay there wonderig what to make for meals the next day. Being Bipolar is part of it I think because of the compulsion and obsession. Is there help for me ? I was 180 pounds in 2005 when I got married and 10 yrs later I’m 261 with several health issues. I love my fruits and veggies but its a problem with the amounts. I do see my endocrinoligist and his nutritionist I understand what they are telling , it is the part of applying myself and the self control. I do use a log book with each individual meal along with carbs, blood readings before and after the meals and my morning weights. I want to be more organized and put my time to good use but I don’t know where to start. We adopted a 7 yr old Lab who is traumatized from being in a cage for 5 1/2 of his 7 years at a No Kill Shelter. He doesn’t know how to be a dog so I am working on caring and expressing love to him but it has been almost 8 months and we have acomplished but its 2 steps forward and 1 back. He is very timid. He trusts my husband 100% but he works 12:00 PM til 9:00PM five days a week. Tim ( the dog) was also the runt of the litter and was born with no nostrils so had to under go emergency laser surgery when he was born and shortly after that got pnemonia and was not expected to live. His life after that was adopted out for 6 months and returned and was in a gage (5 1/2 yrs) until we adopted him on July 3rd, of 2014 ( last year) , 2 weeks after our Lab / Great Dane passed from cancer and AFIB . sometimes I think stress might be my food problem, can this be part of my problem ? Now that you have read my Biography ( haha) what advice do you have for a 60 year old female. Any questions email me.

Recognizing overeating is a problem is a great beginning and I think that program sounds wonderful! My prayer is that these recipes here will help you achieve your weight loss goals without feeling deprived. Thank you!
