| I agree Roberta - Laura’s oatmeal concoction sounds really good! I add chocolate protein powder to my oats, but it doesn’t come out so well just popping it all in the microwave mixed with water. The powder is always a bit lumpy... |

| That was oatmeal, not oatmel. |

| Laura, Thanks for clarifying the oatmel recipe. It sounds great and I’m going to put it into my breakfast menu for next week. Just curious, have you ever added chocolate protein powder? If so, how was it? |

Matthew!! What are you doing?! 18 hour days!? Are you crazy!?! Man something has GOT TO GIVE!! NOTHING IS WORTH YOUR UNHAPPINESS!!! Really. Life has to have a balance somewhere. I’m trying to stay awake for 18 hours straight let alone work it and do BFL!! I’d make a list of priorities and start some goal setting from there.
Good luck!

| MATTHEW! No one is designed to work 18 hour days without having some kind of a breakdown, both physically and emotionally. Why you are doing this you don’t say, but your description of your mental state suggests that whatever reason you have for doing this isn’t good enough to keep doing it. I think that if you put yourself into a normal lifestyle again, things will become clearer, and easier to do as well. Discipline and normal thoughts are simply not going to happen while you are working 18 hour days. |

I need help. I started the program last August, and since that time have dropped almost fifty pounds. I looked great. I felt great. Everything was exactly as I needed it to be.
Now I’m having issues again. I’m in a new environment where I’m not very happy and there is absolutely no time for exercise (I’m working eighteen hour days consecutively). I did well for a while, even dropped a few more pounds. Then people started telling me I was too skinny, so I started increasing my calorie intake.
This may seem melodramatic, but now I can’t stop. I sit there eating things when I’m not hungry that I know I shouldn’t eat telling myself not to eat them, but not stopping. Worse, I feel like it may be becoming a borderline disorder. It’s all I think about. I obsess over eating...not eating...and why I ate what I did.
If anyone has any suggestions or words of encouragement, I could use the help right now. Thanks guys. |

| If I am officially doing the challenge and plan on submitting it, do I have to keep a food journal? I am tracking my workouts, but haven’t tracked food. I am following the Eating for Life book, but not recording everything. |
