I keep a half gallon insulated container of water on my nightstand and I drink plenty of water especially at night.

Are There Any Regular Members On Here To Correspond With???

A MyObesityTeam Member asked a question 💭
Tallahassee, FL

Hi! I have a question? Are there any members on here who really write and respond on here! I know sometimes we may drop off for some reason but it would be nice to state that! When looking for friends, some haven’t been on here all the way back to 2017. This should be set out to automatically block those who don’t respond within so many days. When they chose to come back, administrators would have to approve! It would be nice if the hobbies separated the members or something that would stand out… read more

Undereating

A MyObesityTeam Member asked a question 💭
Meridian, MS

People always think that because you're overweight that means you overeat. My doctor has actually told me that I need to eat more, but I don't normally have an appetite. I need meal suggestions to help increase my food intake. What can I do? Eating when I'm not hungry makes me nauseous, and my meds suggest I eat.

A MyObesityTeam Member

I like the protein cheese, nut snacks are good for that. wheni worked i would set an alarm for 2-3 hours and eat one of the small snacks. it helps stay off the blood sugar hills and vally's.

Does Anyone Else Here Have Arthritis In Their Back And Knees? If So, What Treatments Have Worked For You?

A MyObesityTeam Member asked a question 💭
Meridian, MS

I have arthritis in my back that has been treated with injections. I've even had the nerve endings in the L3-L5 region in my back burned and had a cortisol shot in my s1 region. The swelling is gone, but not the pain. My knees have been left untreated. The pain gets unbearable at times, but my doctor only says lose weight. I've told her several times that I'm usually an active person, but pain makes me not want to be active. I need relief. Any suggestions. I've already considered… read more

Thank you for giving us the head up. I was also told that they couldn't do Knee replacement surgery because I was morbid obese and I should lose weight 1st. Because if I didn't the recovery time… read more

How Do I Stop Emotional Eating?

A MyObesityTeam Member asked a question 💭
St. Louis, MO

I eat when I am bored, I eat when I am tired, I eat when I am frustrated. I am constantly eating for reasons other than hunger. How do I stop? It's like it just slips under my radar and next thing I know, I have polished off a whole pie, or cookies or bag of potato chips.

Write your feelings down. Go for a walk.

Harper Woods, MI

My trainer was on leave for on leave for 3 months, then my dance trainer went on leave, my yoga instructor quit and became a baker and my circuit trainer moved to Alaska and I got bored with belly Dance. The only thing I was doing was Bootcamp one day a week and went back to eating chips and ice cream. I only liked those people because they are very instrumental in my life and they are my friends ( some closer than friends). Now my Trainers and Zumba Instructor is back and he helped me get my… read more

How Do You Get Rid Of The Munchies On A Small Fixed Income?

A MyObesityTeam Member asked a question 💭
Ada, OK

It seems like I can't get rid of the munchies. Usually I buy one 2 pound bag of baby carrots and go through them in a couple of days. I can only get groceries at the first of the month or I would buy them more often. I know my munchies stem from wanting the crunch but once the carrots are gone I feel like I'm doomed.
