Eating the wrong things. It seems that when I lose a couple of lbs., I instinctively want to eat something that is not good! Oh My!!!

I seem to have lost my zest for healthy living. I think about it until it is time to eat. I know what I have to do I am just not doing it.

Today and most days lately... I struggle with making the healthy choice. Half an english muffin with cream cheese instead of two slices white bread with real butter. Open face 1/2 flat bread sandwich instead of fast food. Water instead of Starbucks. I wish that the little choices I make would make a big difference in how I feel. Subtle differences are all and well, but they dont keep you motivated. Well, not me anyway. It is aggravating to want a end product so desperately (being healthy) and not making the choices that get you there.

Commenting on my earlier comment. I did some research on regular meat and milk vs organic meat and milk. The vast majority of what I read subscribes to the theory that "it doesn't make much of a difference which you chose as far as your health is concerned." Some also stated that the guidelines for "organic" are broad and not easily enforced, suggesting a consumer might be paying a lot more for just a word. I don't drink large amounts of milk or consume great quantities of meat or dairy products, so my personal decision is to continue eating as healthy as my pocketbook can afford, which means, I'll not be purchasing any "organic" anything until the price is realistic or after I hit the lottery. Happy Easter Blessing to you. Thanks for reading.

I'm struggling with prices going so high for every thing. I can't afford organic meat, cheese and milk. But Dr. Oz says the un-organic kind that I buy will contribute to weight gain, due to the growth hormones given to the cows.

uncertain
Not sure if it is a struggle? Not a good thing, Not a bad thing.
Mixed feelings, Being nervous, Being excited.
Being a little fearful, Not knowing, Not being psychic.
Wait and see, Things will unfold, I will survive
Smile, nod, and back away slowly.
Keep it simple.

Trying to get motivated. Health problems keep me down and grabbing anything to help throat pain, I am using sugar free juice bars for now but trying to stay on track and to just get some activity going in my life. So tired by time I get home that after walking the pack ( I have 2 tibetian spaniels) I am beat!

I'm struggling with my SparkTeam Pages. Everytime I come to a SparkTeam page my computer freezes up and logs out of Sparkpeople. This is not the first time this has happened. Also, this teams page keeps telling me that I have not joined any challenges but when I click on the challenge, it takes me to my challenges page showing that I am already tracking them. Very frustrating.
