Friend requests?
Why do I get friend requests from people I have had no interaction with? And why is there never a message with their requests? Seems if they really wanted to be MFPals, they would say something. :huh:

Does anyone know how to watch TV without eating?
I realize that question sounds ridiculous, but I really do have a problem watching a TV show (or going to a movie) without munching my way through it. Even worse, unless I'm working, I tend to want to eat whenever I even sit down! I know I'm not the only one. Have any of you had this problem in the past and found a…

Body image issues after losing weight?
This is a subject that I didn’t realize I would need to address but…well…here I am. Does anyone who has lost a lot of weight struggle with body image? A quick summary to help make sense of where I’m coming from. When I was in my 20s-30s i basically lived at my gym (hence the username)…I was strong…I was cut (lifted 5/days…

Habit is strong than will
I really, really liked this article. Very inspiring! I said YES!!! to the decision to get healthier - often. And that is the problem - the truth (according to behavioural scientists, and books like Good Habits, Bad Habits etc) is that habit is stronger than willpower in the long run.
