@JPW1990 I know it isn't rare. Have many a friends who upon getting divorced suddenly find themselves in the company of much younger company. I shake my head as a older guy, but honestly there is a LOT of draw to it. Mostly it can capture that feeling of fleeting youth. Ya know, Jerry Lee Lewis "Middle Aged Crazy, trying to prove he still can...".
I am pretty grounded, but who knows. Was just thinking out loud. No plans for divorce or younger women at this point.
honestly, this is why at 34 i'm pretty sure i'm gonna be alone.
totally not judging you (after my parents divorced my dad spent years dating younger gals and then five years ago married a girl that is ONE year older than ME. i judge him
)
anytime i go out i can't help but feel like i don't belong. there are young, stunning girls EVERYwhere, i can't imagine anyone settling for my older, pudgy butt. plus i'm also pretty sarcastic and b*tchy.
but seeing how i'm the reason my current relationship tanked, i really don't have anyone else to blame.
it's still kinda disappointing though.
I would too!
Don't give up on finding someone, I'm only 29 and sometimes it's hard since most gals my age are married or in committed relationships but most the time I'm happy as I have the rest of my life to be with someone may as well enjoy my "singleness" now. You'll find someone!! You are very pretty!
Agree that you are very pretty, plus you're pretty funny going off your additions to this thread and you will meet someone. I met my husband when I was 35 and got married at 37. I seriously thought there was something wrong with me. I used to tell myself I was "fundamentally unloveable". Everyone else said it would happen for me, they were right and I was wrong.
I must be an anomaly. I was reading through the past few days posts and wondering how people can only come up with a couple of things positive to say about themselves. And, why would anybody think that because they don't have somebody that there is something wrong with them? I never really thought I had super high self esteem, but I've always known my worth.
I am speaking for myself, but... you look around and all you see is "happy" couples and people dating, and there... is... nothing... going on with you. And I know I shouldn't compare myself to others, but I see some people who are just awful human beings and they are with someone. And then it's like "how come they can find someone, and I can't?" So you start to think there is something wrong with yourself and you must be completely unattractive.
I used to feel that way. And I am going to completely honest here. I am not a pretty woman. I am ok. When I am thin I have a great body. Think Marilyn Monroe at her skinniest without the breasts (A cup all the way). But women not as attractive as me ( which takes a lot as I am not pretty), heavier than me, no where near as smart as me, or as accomplished get guys. But somewhere along the way I realized I am ok. I still get down when I gain weight. Hate I am not pretty. That I am the least attractive female in my family. But I am pretty amazing. And if others don't realize it it's their loss. I am not going to settle. And I am a lot older than you. I hope you find the love of your life. I still hope I do. But if I don't it's ok. I am still a pretty amazing person. I don't need a guy to prove that to me. And I never will.
LOVE THIS! Except, every woman is pretty.
I never had a problem getting dates or anything like that, but there came a time in my life when I decided that I didn't want my kids to see me going out with so many different men. I went for about 5 years without dating at all and only met my current husband after both kids were out of high school. There's somebody out there, and he'll be worth the wait.0 -

Please help me settle a debate.
What is a normal number of eggs for one person to consumer in a week? Let's imagine this person eats meat, but not necessarily every day, and not big portions of it. This person happily consume plenty of wholegrains, fruit and veg, dairy (and too much sugar but never mind that).
So normal number of eggs in a week?
I'd ask in the normal forums, but I don't want my face ripped off by the 'eat all the protein carbs are evil' mob. (Not having a dig at you low-carbers, just at the way some people harp on about it!)
A seven day week (versus a five day work week)? I don't know, fourteen?0 -

DUMP HIM!! Imagine being married and the same scenario. I can count on one hand sex in last five years, it's going on two years now. It doesn't get better, only worse.
and to mr bunglex above - you look great, congrats! the hard work paid off
Please, take your own advice. You don't have to stay married to that.0 -
Hi All! I'm around, but there are so many new posts and I don't have time to respond. I have read them all though!

Not a judgement but why didn't you just make the hot chocolate? Not sweet enough?
Good question! I think I just wanted a quick fix? I don't even know, in hindsight.
This made me laugh! I've eaten baking chocolate before in a pinch. You know what - good for you for not keeping anything sweet in the house, though.0 -

Not silly or embarrassing! That's awesome!
How is your fur baby? Any news from the vet yet?
Thanks for asking, and I meant to update everyone yesterday. It is not a fatty growth, which means probably cancer. It will cost $500 - $800 to get it removed and biopsied. We love her, but that's a lot of money for us. Going to keep an eye on it, and if it gets bigger then we will have to have it removed. At this point it doesn't seem to be bothering her though.
Positive thoughts to you, your family, and your fur baby!0 -

I have no idea what normal is and I think our egg consumption may be a bit on the high side since we eat very little meat (lots of fish though) but I just realized that my SO and I polished off 38 eggs over the last 3 weeks. So, a half dozen per week each.
That's lunch and supper only, we don't eat eggs for breakfast.0 -
While I've never cried with goggles on, I feel you. My body has settled into a weight range of 70-72kg (154-158lbs) despite trying 1200 cals, low carb, low cal and low carb, huge exercise deficit, cardio only, etc. It was ridiculous and I wasn't making myself happy while doing or getting the results that would've made it worth it (I actually cried one night looking at the bowl of protein dense stir fry). So I stopped, switched up and decided to focus on muscle building and losing body fat percentage. I still eat at a slight deficit and watch my macros, but the focus is less on that and more on my workouts being fuelled. It has worked - although still slowly - I'm down 6% in 12 weeks and my muscles are finally popping even when I'm not flexing.This is more advice than a confession: Don't cry in your Goggles when you go swimming, tears sting a lot when they go back into your eyes.
Why were you crying I hear you ask? I weighed myself this morning. I weigh exactly the same amount as I weighed back in February. I'm beginning to think this is all a big waste of my time. I work out 6 hours a week and eat a 890 calorie deficit a day. I don't know what else to do...
Of course, muscles didn't help today when my skirt started slipping down my butt while I was crossing a busy intersection. Silk shirts and too big skirts don't work! I figured I was only down a couple of pounds so it should fit but nope. So in my mind, moving focus has resulted in a physical change and that's what I'm really after.
Maybe you could thinking about eating at maintenance for a month to give yourself a break?
At this moment in time I would love to settle at your weight, I don't think I have been that weight for 15 years. At 213.8lbs I don't particularly feel like settling, but that seems to be what is happening. All I want to do is get back into onederland (under 200lbs) but that is a stone away and it just ain't happening.
And I feel like I am eating at maintenance, so by eating at MFP's maintenance will be too much.
You may have already answered this. Do you use a food scale?0 -

In a 7 day week, I do probably... something like 18-24 eggs, just by myself. I love eggs.0 -

Um, I do eat meat. I would estimate my weekly egg consumption around 18 eggs.
I eat 2 every morning without fail and more sometimes in tuna or boiled or deviled eggs as a snack. Some weeks I eat more than that, but almost never less.0 -

You're eating more than you think and overestimating your exercise calories, probably. Maybe make a new thread and open your diary and people can help... Also, you don't have to eat breakfast if you're not hungry... It's a myth that it kick starts your metabolism.
Surely I can't be eating 890 calories more without realising though?
I wear a Misfit (bit like a fitbit, but you can wear it swimming) and just go by that for the day. The only thing I put into MFP is my weight lifting because I like to see the progress, it doesn't add calories on.
I do normally eat breakfast because I am normally hungry enough to eat it (particularly after a 45min swim). I know that your metabolism is to do with chemicals in your body that is not easily adjusted, and if it is low, it is considered a serious health problem, so I know the whole "kick start" thing a BS all around.
And nothing can convince me to start a "I can't lose weight" thread, that's digital suicide. lol I'm a massive softy so all comments would probably put me off coming back to the forum.
Another question. Do you eat back all of your exercise calories? Your Misfit may over-credit you on exercise calories. Try eating back 25-50% of your exercise calories, and not all of them.0 -

I eat two eggs for breakfast every breakfast, I think as long as you don't have cholesterol problems you should be fine.

"Would you kiss the person above" "Compliment the person above" Blah blah blah. I guess because it's blatant compliment fishing maybe...or perhaps because there are a ton of married/partnered people out there flirting and being inappropriate with other people. I don't know...but it grosses me out. So I try not to look at even the titles...and I never click in. Did it once...won't make that mistake again, lol.
I hear ya! I'm single and I've honestly never been to that thread! Seriously search my name you won't find it! Not a fan, I'm here for my health not to find a date
Well now you are not really single...
But I am and I can't stand when people start all the overt flirting and innuendo. I leave those threads immediately. That is not why I am here. If I wanted that I would go to match.com.
Haha no technically I'm spoken for of course but there's no ring on my finger! (This doesn't mean I'd ever cross boundaries of course just saying I'm unmarried and there's no box to check "boyfriend" or in a relationship when it asks single, married, divorced, or widowed- so I check the single box every time)
Yeah, I find that one weird as so do I, and I've been with my boyfriend for 11 years.
My DOH! and I only got married because it was his grandmother's deathbed wish.
He - "Gram really wants us to get married. Do you want to?"
Me - "OK."
The only difference between before and after is I now have a ring on my finger to fiddle with when I am nervous and he likes to joke that all of his years of stalking me have finally paid off.
HAHA that's great! I've been engaged before but I broke it off (it wasn't going anywhere) but my favorite part was my engagement ring, which, I had to give back
My confession is: I'm not a huge stickler to get married but you best believe I want a large, shiny, rock on my finger! A giant promise ring of sorts haha
I thought my engagement ring was the biggest pain in my butt when I first started wearing it, because I never wore jewelry in the lab. I now feel super weird when I have it off (doing dishes, food prep, gardening, showering, etc). The shiny still gets me sometimes though. Ha!
I've been married 17 years, and the shiny still gets me every once in awhile. (I
my wedding ring!) 0
