      The majority of my high school health class was about sex and stds. Of course, most kids didn't actually pay attention to that so I'm not sure how much information they would retain from a decent nutrition course.

      @lilaclovebird This is the best recipe for guacamole: http://www.ro-tel.com/recipes-Rockin-Guacamole-2702.html and only 50 cals for 2 Tbsp.

      Especially @orangesmartie--your advice (to me and even to other posters) has been really helpful in "talking me off the cliff", so to speak. Also, Charlie is seriously adorable. Can I have him? ;)

      Heehee, sorry no, he's my lovely little boy and I seriously adore him, he is the centre of my world (and I hate children). I'm quite looking forward to my niece coming along too, when I ignore the financial and time pressures.

      I talked to my mum about buying a new house so the kids can have their own rooms. My current flat is not up to 2 small children!

      I hope you are feeling a bit better susie, it's so easy to get lost in the blackness. It then becomes all consuming and food is the only light. But really it just increases the darkness.

      Try just having one and tell yourself you can have another tomorrow!

      Great advice! That's what I am starting to tell myself again after having months of binging.

      The good news is after I took a big poop today I decided to weigh myself & found I am at 155.5 after being around 160 last week. I know it was mostly from sodium & just fluctuations & from all my binging it's refreshing to know that I really only gained 2.5 pounds. I hope to lose a little bit more with the help of my Fitbit & still deciding to take a mental break on Mondays/Thursdays my days off from work & eat 2000 calories.

      I've got a vegetarian who doesn't eat any vegetables over here.

      I really, really wish that it was mandatory in all schools to have a whole class on nutrition and healthy foods/cooking for every single student. Maybe we'd see fewer teenagers thinking they need to eat 1000 calories a day to lose weight and who think that a diet of solely packaged white carbs is a healthy option. It's crazy to me.

      Well I am a vegetarian who hates many vegetables...but yes, I do think kids need to be taught to eat healthier.

      No, it's a filthy lie promoted by the frozen brownie purveyors. Don't believe a word of it.

      I used to eat the brownie frozen out of the Michelina's Kids meals (or at least I think that's the brand).

      TL; DR: I AM getting a new ring, I married an incredible man, and his daughter is a selfish little twit.

      I read the whole thing. I think it is awesome that he got you the ring you liked so much. I can't wait to see a picture. It sounds amazing.

      The daughter isn't very nice. That would have made me cry as well. :(

      Jillian on The Biggest Loser that had the three kids on called it "carb-etarian." I think that's an accurate description.

      I am definitely not someone who thinks carbs are bad, but I also know that for most people, it's really hard to feel full and energetic and all that without protein and fat. And I know for me, 1200 calories of bread and pasta still leaves me starving, whereas 1200 calories of meat, seafood, eggs, and legumes with some oil and a bunch of vegetables (also carbs, yeah, but fibrous ones) means I'm not hungry at all. Anecdotal, but I think most people find the same thing.

      I finally found PB2 in a shop. I like making it up to a paste and eating it. I also like putting it with banana and yoghurt for breakfast

      Just don't mix it with cottage cheese blech. That's one of the most vilest creations I ever thought to try. It's also pretty good on a rice cake.

      I forget who mentioned Justin's peanut butters & today I bought a small snack size Almond Butter & Maple to compare to the MaraNatha at Giant today.

      I can't say enough how much I admire you. I don't know many people who would step up to the plate the way you are. You are seriously awesome!!

      This past weekend I ate and ate when I wasn't hungry. I've been maintaining my weight loss for over 6 1/2 years and I still have problems with boredom. I no longer buy Peanut Butter because I'll eat the whole jar during the weekend; however, it doesn't matter what "little" is at my house I will binge on something and that is sad.

      This thread is very helpful thanks for starting it.

      Still awesome that you've maintained your weight loss for that long.

      I haven't posted in here for a while. I've been feeling pretty down lately. I've been reading it all, though--Sadly there have been too many posts that needed attention that I didn't catch up on, so consider all of you in my thoughts.

      I feel like such a loser. Ever since Ramadan started I've been fasting all day, then spending the night pigging out and eating TONS of food instead of worshipping or spending extra time in prayer. I have NEVER done this before, and I don't know what's wrong with me. I've probably gained even more over my recent 20-ish pound weight gain.

      I feel worthless and out of control and like a fat pig. I don't really know what to do. Still trying, though.

      Serious HUGS for you. I hope that you can get things under control. Just hang in there and take care of yourself!

      Yeah, but if I add some whole grains I'll typically be fuller longer too. I admit I don't know how vegans do it, even 3 servings of veggies leave me bloated and gross.

      I actually call my husband that. Like, in person. "Huuusbaaaand, can you get me some water?"

      He makes fun of me by calling me "Husband" right back, ever since I accidentally said "I'm not a woman!" in a play-argument we were having. (Long story. Seriously. It was an accident? :D)

      To everyone else... While I'd love to quote everyone, there are way too many of you sending kind words and thoughts, so I just wanted to say that I read every one of them and THANK you for thinking of me and for all of your encouragement; it means A LOT to me. Especially @orangesmartie--your advice (to me and even to other posters) has been really helpful in "talking me off the cliff", so to speak. Also, Charlie is seriously adorable. Can I have him? ;)

      I almost always refer to him as Honey, or Babe. When he's ignoring me, I call him by his name. :smiley:

      That is a "classic" if it is older than me!

      1963 Chevy pick up. Matte black with ghost flames and slammed. According to the insurance he's carrying, it's not supposed to be used as a daily driver, so don't tell anyone. :*

      I know someone like this in RL. She eats cheese, fries, and that's about it. I've never seen her touch a fruit or vegetable.

      I would agree. I wish I had tried a different flavor. I woke up at like 5am with a stomach ache, too. Now I am scared to buy more and they also turn out to be a waste (or even worse, a gut grenade). I might try Talenti down the road but it will have to be under a severe moment of weakness.

      You could always make your own ice cream, sorbet, or gelato.

      For us, the problem is what I've told him for years: we have three people in our relationship - me, him, and his EGO. Tired of dealing with the ego stuff. Didn't expect someone 10 1/2 years older than me to still have ego and maturity issues. But, it's not all him, of course. I've changed in the past 15 years. I don't complain about or talk about my marriage to anyone IRL, so in the spirit of the thread I just decided to take advantage of it and do a little personal whining.

      Thank you for asking. How are YOU? I've been thinking about you and your situation as well.

      Sorry that you are going through that. Maybe it's just me but I don't think some guys ever grow out of their ego (sorry guys-it's just my personal observation, I know not everyone is the same).

      I'm okay. My boyfriend did come over last night and we talked. I asked him a bunch of questions and he gave me what I believe are honest answers and said he still wants to do counseling. We got along pretty well. I just hope he is actually HEARING what I'm saying.

      Not that it is an excuse but his dad died a few years ago and I don't think he's been the same since. I really do think he is suffering from depression. He has a lot less patience and seems angry at the world, withdrawn, wants to sleep a lot etc. From what I read, that seems like depression. I told him he should get some individual help as well.

      Add me to the avocado aversion side. My sister keeps telling me I will like them if I just keep trying but not gonna happen. Why would I waste calories on something I don't even like?

      I tried avocado on my Subway sandwich the one day & imo it tasted like nothing just blah/bland.

      Sorry I've been MIA friends, I've been busy at work and was on the go all weekend. I'm also super hungry right now... eating everything in sight! Should still be under goal for the day, assuming I eat the dinner that I have planned out.

      BTW- thanks to whoever in this thread clued me into the Fiber One lemon bars. They are delicious. Now I just need some self-control so that I don't gobble them all down during TOM this week. Yikes!

      Welcome back!

      I am guilty of the above infraction and I apologize. :( I've tried several times to delete anything I'm not personally responding to or do multiple responses in once reply, but I often screw it up and have to start all over again.

      The way I read this, I could never keep it straight trying to do everyone into one post. Especially when I miss a whole day or more...too much to catch up on. I can start to try and delete some stuff, etc. but it hard to parse through stuff and delete.

      To be honest, I like the full quote, so as I read backwards, I know what I am looking for and can skip the originals if I already read it, or find the original I wanted to reply to and reply to it. I would rather not stop doing that.

      BINGO!

      I'm so sorry you are dealing with this. But it sounds like your step daughter has been under a campaign of parental alienation since she was small. You can google it, it's much more common than people realize but basically it means that one parent deliberately tries to turn the child against the other parent. It takes years. It usually involves lies about what the other parent has done, frivolous law suits and refusal of visitation until the child hates the 'evil' parent.
      Your step daughter sounds conflicted. She obviously wants to know her Dad but who knows what stories she has been fed about him (and you?) Has your husband tried to sit down with her and discuss that he always wanted to see her but her mother prevented it? Alienation is SO psychologically damaging to a child and she may still have no idea who or what to believe.
