    There was a poptart thread I saw on here a while back, and ever since then I have been wanting a poptart. The weird thing is I DON'T EVEN LIKE POPTARTS! I've always found them rather cardboard-y. Why do I want one?

    Brown Sugar and Cinnamon or Frosted Strawberry. You'll thank me later haha :wink:
    I'm planning on going to the store (if the rain stops!) and I might pick some up! :P Toasted or nontoasted?

    I started that.

    HollandOats, thanks for the suggestion. I'm not sure any type of fasting is suitable for me but I'll look into it and after some research I'll decide whether to try it or not. Right now I feel so NOT in conrol of my eating so any suggestions are welcome. *even if normally I wouldn't even look into them* :D:)

    And yeah, I'm not the best at condolences either, but I am offering virtual support and prayers for everyone who is experiencing such sadness and loss.

    Confession: my husband's best friend's father just died and I have no idea what to say to him. My husband lost his own father when he was 10 and his friend's father had been a great source of support for him throughout his life.

    My step-daughter came over last night and she was talking to her dad about what happened with the pregnancy. I'm such a terrible person, I didn't say anything. No comforting words, no words of encouragement, nothing. A big fat NOTHING. I wish I wasn't so awkward around her. We're not close (we just started getting to see her late last year because her mother is a hose beast that kept her away) and I don't want to overstep my boundaries with her. I wish I would or could have said something though...

    Find a very simple card. Tell her in writing that you are thinking of her and you are sorry for her loss. Tell her that you are not good at saying it but that you want her to know you care. Keep it short and simple.

    I love this! I LOVE buying and giving cards too, so this is perfect!

    My go to health food was granny smith apples. Now that I'm allergic to them my go to snack food is chocolate. So many more calories in that....

    How do you become allergic to granny smith apples after eating them previously? I know allergies can be weird. Just curious. I LOVE granny smith apples. I had an addiction to them for a while, but cut back after going low-carb.

    To get an allergy you have to have been exposed to that item at least twice before in the past. I think this is part of the reason some schools go peanut free. A lot of people are allergic to peanuts and the oil/dust gets everywhere. Better that the kid have a reaction at home for the first time than in the school.

    Elvis lives across the street from me. No, seriously, the dude is an Elvis impersonator. But sadly not the good looking Elvis.

    Has anyone else bothered to venture over to that "Ketogenic 1 month progress" or whatever it's called thread yet? Dude's a walking ketoacidosis case waiting to happen!

    Wait a couple of weeks, call her, tell her you have been thinking about her. Or send her a card with a gift card to a restaurant or spa, something she would enjoy with the note you have been thinking about her. That way you don't have to get all awkward and she knows you care. Some times it is not what we say, but what we do.

    I love this too! I also love giving gift cards. Almost as much as I like receiving them. :wink:

    Just reading that made me feel sick and my heart beat faster. I've tried going low carb many times in the past and it always ends up very, very bad. I get very weak, lightheaded, and nauseous. So to me, this sounds awful! I love my carbs. Mmmm.... bread.

    I took my daughter shopping on Saturday for a dress for her National Honor Society Induction Ceremony. It was so refreshing to see her try on clothes. She looked amazing. loved *everything* that she tried on and I can't wait until shopping feels like that for me again. :)

    Confession: I got drunk and broke my own tea kettle a few weeks ago. Whenever someone asks what happened to the top of it, I say "someone must have been messing with it when they shouldn't have been". Totally true, because I should not have been attempting to boil water in that state. Lol

    Not really. It's more likely he's going to hurt himself by passing out before it gets to that stage. He'd have to have some serious pre-existing conditions for it to get that bad.

    Earlier I was looking up recipes containing eggs and I came across this advice, "Baked eggs (350 °F (177 °C) for 1/2 hour in a muffin tin, cool in ice water) are identical to boiled eggs but the shells peel easier." I don't know if it works or not, but I remember a couple of people throwing eggs away because they wouldn't peel. Maybe this is worth a try?

    I've used Alton Brown's method where you just put them straight on the oven rack. I didn't notice them being any easier to peel, but it was convenient for doing a bunch of them at one time.

    That seems like a long time at too high of heat to me - anyone else? Interesting, though.

    I confess it might be and I'd have no idea. I hate hard boiled eggs. I don't even know what they taste like because the smell has put me off ever trying them.

    I try to do a lower carb diet, but I'm not even attempting keto. I've just got done studying what happens when there are too many ketone bodies built up in the blood....yeah, no thanks. lol

    The guys who sit in the other group across the floor from me have some very odd conversations. All. Day. Long.
    Current topic: If their group had a fight to the death, who would be the last man standing and why?

    Confession: It is cold and rainy again and the brief warm taste of spring we had earlier this month seems like it was a cruel tease. I really just want to sit under a blanket with hot chocolate (plus whipped cream) and eat gooey, warm things.

    I just binged. I had lost 4 pounds and cheated a few days while I was away. Gained all of it back and now can't get back on track. :(

    Finally caught up. Geez.

    I'm debating going to Sonic today to get chili cheese tots. With added jalapeños.

    I always see commercials for Sonic and I really wish they were in Canada!
    My husband and I ate at sonic on our wedding night. We had a long drive ahead of us.

    Speaking of showers. Every time my BF stays over he uses my shampoo, soap, deodorant and my toothpaste. Frankly, I don't like it for a number of reasons. We've talked about it, but he thinks I'm petty. Yesterday, I asked him where his stuff was, he said in his gym bag at work. Today, I hid the deodorant, when he asked where it was, I said, "It's gone".

    Oh, I'm judging this! Men should NOT wear women's deodorant.

    I've worn my boyfriend's deodorant before. The first time was when I was first staying at his place but before I moved my toiletries in. The second was after he had an allergic reaction to one. It was an expensive one, too! I couldn't let it go to waste. I am still wearing it now and it works better than mine.

    Instead of boiling them in water I actually throw them in a steamer. I find it makes them easier to peel, some eggs though I swear just refuse to be eaten. Lol

    Oh speaking of deodorant... I'm avoiding the ones with aluminum and parabens... which unfortunately means that all the antiperspirants are out. It's such a drag...
