Also, if you ran a full mile, your uterus would fall out. FACT, IT'S SCIENCE. And people wonder where "women's lib" came from. SMH

Well, you know, Dexatrim-diet-plan or Ayds diet candy made it all so easy. Just as long as you didn't "aerobicise" with those infernal 2 pound weights. That would make you look like a MAN!

I eat out a ton and never see entries for my food. Probably because I hate chains and only eat out if I know someone is actually in the kitchen cooking my food rather than heating up frozen meals, as happens at EVERY "FAST CASUAL" RESTAURANT YOU KNOW. Store bought items and chain restaurant items are in the database…

My gummy vitamins are only 10-20 cal per dose. And, oh, gosh, now I'm remembering a horrible ad for a woman's multivitamin that ran in the 70s, back when women were told that 1000 calories per day was what you needed to tot up in the sad little booklet you bought at the supermarket checkout. Let me see if I can find it.…

My favorite quote goes with the photo in your post: IMMA GET SO TONE!

That article is hilarious, and the blog exceptionally well-named. (but is not any relation)

YES. Stop saying you want "toned, not bulky" when what you mean is "I prefer a little layer of body fat for aesthetic reasons." You don't dislike muscle. You like some fat. Own it.

Hell, just sticky this thread, it will save lots of trouble. But, sadly, the type of people who just show up and demand to know if a waist trainer and detox tea will give them abs of steel? Won't bother reading all those threads.

Thread, Y U No on front page?

LOL, true!

A bagel with butter or peanut butter will give you a skosh more fat and some more filling carbs. A potato is also a really satisfying source of carbs and also lots of micronutrients. Add a pat of butter or some greek yogurt for a bit of healthy fat and protein.

Make it so!

Yeah, I thought caffeine gave a small boost to metabolism. (Bearing in mind that anything that "boosts metabolism" basically results in a handful of extra calories burned and isn't enough to be of concern or attention) Which, hmmmmm, if that's the case, is Irish Coffee metabolically neutral? A point to consider. (claims…

But, the thing is, it's a mental game. Start thinking of it as being JUST THAT SIMPLE rather than bogging yourself down in failure-predicting angst over what is, actually, quite simple. "I'm not going to eat that." That's all it takes. I fail to see how it's helpful to get all torn up inside just because "but chocolate!"…

I'm not made of stone, man.

How to stop eating: Stop eating. I'm not trying to be rude, but I don't even understand the question. How do you avoid running around the grocery store hitting yourself in the head with a loaf of bread shouting "I AM THE WALRUS?" How do you not cut down the largest tree in the forest with a herring? How do you not wear…

I still don't understand the issue? I would expect a vegan to consume more grains, pasta, and bread. (except those like brioche or challah which contain eggs, of course!)

To eat on a date: Food To not eat on a date: Stuff that isn't food. Stuff that is food but that you feel self-conscious eating, for whatever reason. Oh, and if someone had a bunch of rules for what I could eat (like telling me not to order fish because THEY didn't like it?) no second date. Because, seriously. No way.

It's a fixation on a certain feature that matters little...but it is a concern when someone comes on and asks "how do I get one" because it's one of those holy grails of the pro-ana community. When a young woman who does not naturally have a gap between her upper legs (through hip placement or genetic weight distribution)…

Be bowlegged?

Or, you can just show her the folks low carbing it (and finding success) in the GAINING WEIGHT forum.

Yup, I've got 3 kids, too, and my belleh does the same nonsense, also around my navel. It's really unappealing when doing planks, so I try not to look. :/ I'm trying to take heart that it's gone "softer" because there is less fat filling up my skin, and hopefully much less visceral fat smushing my innards.

It's possible to gain 5 pounds of WATER weight in a DAY. (and to lose it all again overnight!) Don't sweat a small fluctuation like a single pound, especially if you aren't weighing very often and only have one data point. (I'm a fan of frequent weighing and watching long term trends, rather than infrequent weighing and…

Have you ever been pregnant? I swear, my midsection often looks a little WORSE when I lose weight...the fat fills up the loose skin for me. When I get leaner, my whole belly just looks crepe-y and slightly melted. Hoping that there will be a turnaround as I cut enough to show muscle definition. I also find that a stronger…

I started making it at home with my daughter when she was no more than 10 years old...it's been our traditional Super Bowl snack ever since! (We just do avocado, cucumber, and occasionally scrambled egg, I leave the fish to the local place that I know has a good source for fresh) We learned from watching You Tube videos.…

Ugh, not anymore. They started baking them to be "healthier." I want my darned fried apple pies back. THOSE were delicious!

Scale at home, but I'll use the hand portion method when out and about so that I can keep up logging without becoming a neurotic shut-in. I make it a point to round up and be honest with myself about it, though.

It talks back to it's mother? Flaunts societal convention? Is a TRULY AWESOME magazine from the early 1990s?

Interesting. I wonder if it's regional....since my housemates nearly came to fisticuffs over whether what I knew as "French toast" was actually "pain perdu" or "eggy bread." The Northerners were very adamant that the latter was a snobbish SE England affectation.....

I refuse to drink it on principle, because "sassy water" is a perfectly ridiculous name.
