oh man I've done that. pushed too hard with not enough calories. I like to do a poweraid zero helps keep my sodium up. I hate when coworkers push food food on me and I am just like "shove off" your so right they do try to sabotage you because they are jealous of your success.

It really seems like you're in the right headspace. I can relate to what you talked about, I do think about and want food, but when others eat what I can't/won't eat, I really don't feel phased unlike before. I still like to eat but I really don't feel deprived like I once would have. 24 pounds is impressive, you're doing so well!

It is good to see a video from you. 24 pounds is great. I love the story about you not even smelling the fast food. I love all your nsv's. I think it is great you are reading so many books. I find it fasinating to read about the different food philosophies and advice. I did it a lot before surgery but haven't read much since surgery. I will revist some of my favorites and talk about them when i do.

Hi Laura~ Love your attitude regarding your journey!~ Congrats on your weight loss! Goodness.. I wish I were not able to smell food :) LOL.. The food experience has always been part of my travel experience.. now I make sure to pack WL friendly snacks.. and it helps to curve the thoughts.. most of the time ;)..~ Also, thanks for the tip on the book. I read "When food is love" years ago.. forgot the authors name.. but I just ordered another one. Thank you~ Keep up the great hard work! oxo

+Laura Lost&Found Hi Laura! I just found your channel and I'm catching up on all your videos! In this I think you mentioned a supplement that's supposed to help our bodies handle the extra estrogen and hormones released in our bodies while we are losing weight. Did you say nim or neem or maybe neither one of those lol? Do you know the recommended dose? Thanks a bunch!

HelloVsg2016 I had to take a day off my fast walking - my knees were fussing at me. When I get cleared for all exercise, I will be alternating days with weights, and also with swimming. I want to keep switching it up so that I surprise my body. Also, I think I am going to do more 5k's. Just travel around Iowa and do them.
