Pretty sure I rolled my eyes out loud. Then he began to ask me about my powerlifting, and he about lost his kitten when I told him I was currently on 50% carbs. He seriously asked me "What's the science behind that?" I thought, "You've got to be kidding me?!? You were just advocating the blood type diet to someone, and you want to know the 'science' behind mine?!?"
He's a really nice guy and a terrific chiropractor, but I won't be taking diet advice from him anytime soon.
Mine is like that too. Great at adjustments and all, but don't try and sell me the latest diet you are advertising.
Or essential oils, or...
I've always wondered why it's called essential oils. How have I made it this far through life without something essential!?
The linguist in me is assuming it refers to 'essence' but I like to be facetious.
My grandmother, born in 1894 & living in 3rd world Southern Appalachia, considered the plants they come from essential for healing. She was especially fond of chamomile, sage, ginger, peppermint and a plant called blood root. And jewel fern for poison ivy/oak/sumac.
She raised 14 kids in a house without electricity, with spring water,so and no money for doctors. All but two made it to adulthood, two of the adults are buried at Normandy. She knew her natural medicine. I would still rather eat the spices, but the oils have their value, I think and I would pay good money for a blood root plant. It's a natural clotting agent.
Well, there you go! Essential oils because they are essential.
Also, holy crap 14 children!
She had 6 when her first husband died in a coal mine. My grandfather's first wife died in childbirth having #5. They got married and had 3 together. By the time my mom was born in 1936, the three oldest were out of the house, but living nearby.
Oh, and I just realized that I typo'd Mammaw's birth year. It was 1897, not 1894.
They were kickass back in the day. My grandma was a tiny little woman who had 13 children and lived to 100. She was born in 1909 and didn't get to vote until after ww2. Always makes me appreciate what I have.
I love everything about this!0 -
They're gifts for manly men and they have to open a little wooden crate with a tiny pry bar to get to them. He absolutely loved it. I will do it again, just not the duct tape cocoon.0 -

Valentine's Day Trivia: Nearly 6 million people get engaged or proposed to today. This got broadcasted on the radio this morning, which turned into a giant rant on how diamonds and engagement rings are pure and utter BS because it is essentially a giant marketing campaign that took over society somehow
Well, I love my diamonds, and you're not going to make me feel bad about it.

Good luck and good for you for making the decision! Most of these ladies on here were by my side when I made the decision to go on meds, trust me you aren't a failure. Making that decision was the hardest decision I ever had to make in my life.

No because it took him about 3.5 seconds to open it. I was kind of disappointed, but not surprised.1 -

This makes you no more a failure than needing medication for any other physical ailment. You do what you need to do to stay healthy and happy. In fact it makes you brave for acknowledging you need to do something and taking steps to feel better. You deserve a major award.

I felt like this when I needed something for post-partum depression. But looking back, it was the right decision.0 -
Hey, all. I've been down sick since Saturday. I went Saturday to help my sister pack to move to Arizona. When I got there, my BIL was sick. As soon as I left their house, I could feel my throat getting scratchy. Yep, major head cold.
I was/am mad. Although I would have still gone to help if they had told me he was sick, I think it would have been polite to give people a head's up and let them decide. I was mostly mad because of my competition Saturday, but I think I'll be fine by then, based on how I feel today.
I went to the gym Monday and met with my trainer to get an idea of what numbers I wanted to shoot for on Saturday. I deadlifted 331.5 lbs while sick and high on Sudafed! So, we're going to shoot for 335 pounds on deadlift. I hit 203 lbs on squat, and 160 on bench. I'd love to beat all those numbers, but we'll see.4 -

Oh oh oh! Please tell me what your attempt numbers are when you've decided that.

I have a love hate relationship with prednisone and depomedrol. Two doses of steroids made my sinus infection feel 50% better this morning. I ate everything GF in my kitchen last night. Finishing my five day course of steroids may add 5 pounds to my weight.1

Thanks ladies, you are all so sweet . My OCD had been basically a non-issue from when I started my weight loss journey (I feel like elements of OCD actually applied positively to weight loss compliance) but since late September (transitioning to maintenance? SAD? Stopping breastfeeding?) it's been becoming a big issue again and I have been scared of myself more than once.
Just filled my RX and am on the wait list for a new psychiatrist. Thank you for the support!7 -
OMG! So here comes the creeper post! I was late to the party...majorly late...like a year! I could not jump in and post until I read the ENTIRE thread...yes the ENTIRE THING
!!! Start to finish! I just finished right now. Creeper fact #2 I feel like I know all of you haha! I could probably tell you 90% of everyone's names and write up an about me (weird I know). I was going to go back and quote the trash bag thing just cause but decided against it even though I used to wear a sauna suit...just the top...the first time I attempted to lose weight. So less with the creepy and more with the confessions! I'm not a binge eater I'm more of a grazer, I like to look and recipes and food menus all the time...yes I know weird, I have finished all of something without even realizing it until I go to put down the fork and put it away and its gone! Sweets are my weakness! Cookies, cakes, donuts you name it! Lets see....I've hidden in closets to eat snacks so I wouldn't have to share with my kids, I've cried over food on several occasions. That's all I can think of for now sooooo...ya hi I'm Taylor!! 11 -
I am poorly. It's been going on since Monday evening. I have loads of tiny blood blisters around my eyes and eyelids from the pressure of puking. Do other people get those? Or is it just obvious because I'm pale?0

Have to say that's awesome & some dedication to read the whole thread. I don't think I even read the whole thread. How long did it take you to read it?
I know I've done some secret eating & have hidden the packages.0
