Hihi that might be it. Though right now the family sized pizza would be more to my taste

Ha, I just heard a new one. I walked almost 13K steps yesterday. For the first time in my life. It was a bit of an overdo, since I've been working up to 10K. My ankles are sore today. I'm thinking I may have overexerted myself and just need to rest. My neighbor:
Oooh, that's because your body is not supposed to do that. It's used to being at a certain activity level. Your body's starting to break down. Be careful. You may get brittle bones or osteoporosis.
Apparently, she also had a friend who passed away after starting a healthy lifestyle. So, naturally, I'm in danger. From walking.
Checking my symptoms on WebMD (because my IQ does literally drop when listening to some people) just revealed I may have a severe liver disease, blood condition, or cancer.
Do you guys think a little ice and massage may help counter these fatal predictions/diagnoses, or nah?

That would be true for me, at least. :laugh:
Perhaps I could fall into a vat of sushi first..7 -

If you want to lose weight you're supposed to eat 5 small meals a day.
My boyfriend said this last night, I just laughed and said ok.5 -

MomReborn: Try RICE - rest, ice, compression, elevation. In other words, lie on the couch with your feet on a pillow, ice bag (or frozen vegetables) around any swelling, and put on an ace bandage if you need to be on your feet and the ankles are hurting.3

"Artificial sweetener will make you fat. You should use sugar instead."4 -
1. "You have to eat breakfast!! You need to get your metabolism going for the day!" (I.E., make me ravenous all day so I eat all the foods and gain weight? Ummm, no...)
2. "After 40 it's just so hard to lose weight!" (Well we're all different, and maybe it's a little harder, but counting calories worked for me 17 years ago, and it's working for me now at 43, soooo...I'm glad I ignored this one!)
3. Them: "You're looking thin lately!"
Me: "Thanks, I've been working at it."
Them: "Lately I just look at food and gain weight!" (Well no, you're looking at it, and then eating too much of it, just like I was.)3 -

For me I think it's more because the last time I wore them I fell down my stairs and then had to sit down for the rest of the day so that I could recover, thus limiting my calorie burn.0 -

I have a friend who knew of someone who had peacock feathers in their house and it got bombed in the Blitz. Apparently this is proof that it is bad luck to have peacock feathers in your house (and not, as I would have thought, proof that it was bad luck to live in industrial areas in the West of Scotland during the Blitz).
Fwiw, walking is protective against osteoporosis. It's lack of weight bearing exercise that's the risk factor.

I had a friend tell me she was adding Hot Cheetos to her weight-loss plan because she needed more protein in her diet. Because cheese. She didn't want to lose muscle while losing pounds and needed more healthy snacks.
I just responded with "maybe you should read the label" . . . . .

This is the bane of my existence.
For YEARS I was convinced you had to do this to lose weight. Intermittent fasting has been working flawlessly to stop my binging and it works well with my lifestyle. Because I'm not eating tons of small meals every couple hours, people think what I'm doing will make me gain weight. I'm like, honey, I've achieved 10% weight loss for the first time on any diet I've tried and I'm not even putting in half the effort. I'm cool with this strategy.8 -

Well I have actually read a lot of studies about diet soda and none of them are good. The problem with DS is your body thinks it is sweet and you have just taken in sugar, when you haven't, so your body produces insulin to regulate the sugar you didn't drink. Eventually your body starts to slow down on insulin production and problems start. And if you don't think the phenylaniline (sp.) in Diet Coke is bad, just google it and see. If 1/2 of what is said about it is true it is really bad for you
Umm. Well I'm diabetic and test my blood regularly. Drinking diet soda has never once caused a blood sugar spike.
What's more, an increase of insulin would lower blood sugar levels if that was true, so instead of injecting insulin, all T1's and T2 diabetics should be prescribed diet soda and be hunky dory with no limb amputations.
Not sure where that was written, but it's very wrong.
