OK - I'm a bit overweight. Only 20 pounds or so, but that's 70,000 calories I didn't need that I ate.
If MoeJoe can give up smoking, I can stop comfort eating. If I only eat when I'm hungry, and only until I'm not hungry, I'll be fine.
So I'm in. I won't snack, and I won't over-eat. Perhaps I can lose that 20lb by this time next year. (I know - less than 1/2 lb a week doesn't sound a lot. But it's still 200 calories per day. I think I can manage that.)

Excellent!! For me, tho, it more than just not snacking. I have to change my eating habits completely. Therein lies the rub.......however, it can be done.............
Losing weight quickly isn't the answer......the slower you lose it, the longer you'll keep it off. So, yes, 1/2 lb or so a week is great.
