I have drank a full bottle of wine and I'm thinking of splitting a third with the husband...

Salad dressing. I really don't like vinegary dressings but everything else seems to have ingredients my tummy hates. :(

Between the ages 19-20 I was averaging 2 litres of Dr. Pepper and one or two 4-shot vanilla lattes every day. The amount of calories you can drink is shocking. More recently it's BIG portion sizes (eating as much as my husband who is a good 6 inches taller than me and was gaining weight himself because of the portions),…

I am not a Celiac (at least the test 3 years ago came out negative) but I am definitely gluten free. Found out recently I may be allergic to wheat (removing it caused my eczema to clear up) and Barley is now causing huge energy and joint issues so all gluten is out. I also have Hashimoto's (20 years and counting). Feel…

I've switched to a paleo/FodMap diet to help figure out some of my guts issues and I've noticed that my stomach is much, much, much happier without lactose (always been a bit sensitive but now not even yogurt), gluten (eczema went away with the wheat), and not so much low carb as just reasonable carbs. My energy is also…

No. But I did drink so much (water) that I vomited. Have you ever had heat exhaustion?

I work with 0-5 year olds and the best advice to not get sick: be healthy. Easier said than done, but sleep well, eat well, perhaps look into a multivitamin if you're not on one, and if it's flu season you may want to get a flu vaccine. Honestly after a few years working with the munchkins I've noticed my immune system is…

Those spammy post on the forums like Introduce yourself make me giggle so much. I honestly think whoever wrote it just typed in autocorrect options on their phone- because that's about how much sense they make.

Yup- first year of uni we went as a floor in the dorms. Have you ever climbed over/under barbed wire fencing?

I'm not very big on salad dressing, never have been. So fortunately I don't go through too much. (Husband on the other hand likes his salad to go for a swim- it's horrifying. Might have to have him use your trick.) But since my diet change I've had to give up the ones I like in favor of wheat free /dairy free…

Most definitely. Took a few years to put all the pieces back together. Have you ever held a real heart?

I hate Valentine's day I think it's a pointless and ridiculous holiday. However underwear and bras were half off at the shops today so at least there is that. (lol that makes it sound like people where walking around commando like- I mean their cost was 50% off)

I cannot sleep cuddled up to someone or touching someone. If I get touched in the middle of the night apparently I flinch in my sleep.

In the past I was way too obsessed with this, to the point where I was having anxiety attacks after going like 10-20 grams over on what I was weighing. It honestly got to the point where I was bordering ED tendencies (to be fair MFP wasn't the first place I showed these). I was doing all the stuff you described as well as…

That's what batteries are for ;) I confess that I have had the most unproductive day and it has been amazing.

In a manner of speaking- I made my puppy dog food last week and it smelled good so I tasted it. Besides that I may have when I was under 3 but not that I remember. Have you ever ignored a "no trespassing" sign?

I confess I just don't get the point of those novels 50 Shades to Harlequin Romance. My mom has tons of those cheap, cheesy romance books and I just shake my head and roll my eyes whenever she gets another.

Yes I've heard of them, I even know someone who had one. But no I've never been to one. Have you ever been to a huge sweet 16th party?

The one that really made me feel the worst: Taking my niece to the dr's on the bus "Are you easy?" "What?" "I heard teen mom's are easy. Are you easy" It wasn't so much what he said, it was that that was the moment when I started noticing the side-long glances and shakes of heads from people who thought I was the mother of…

I'm not sticking so much to gluten free, but wheat free so most of my meals are gluten free anyways. I'm also lactose free too. My diary is open if you want to have a peak and so far I've lost just over 4 kgs (8.8 lbs) so I must be doing something right ;) If you're just starting out gluten free beware of the alternatives…

Nope, never that close to the Atlantic either. Have you ever seen the northern lights?

Oops too fast Yup sushi- tuna and eel and I hated it. Awful texture! yep made vindaloo the first time and used 4x the chilies I was supposed to Have you ever seen the Great Barrier Reef?

Oh yes- used to watch the meteor shower every year with my mom (starting from at least age 3) and lasting all night. Have you ever seen a solar eclipse?

I've only done day hikes, not up to a summit. But I've hiked Mt. Rainier, Mt. St. Helens, Mt. Mazama (Crater Lake), several areas of the Olympic Mountains (been to the rainforest, annual camp trips, and my best friend's grandma has a house up there too), and several other smaller peaks around the PNW. Hiking used to be a…

Exactly. Oats may be processed with wheat, and mine possibly were because the package says "may contain wheat, gluten". Wheat free oats are kind of not a possibility here (too rural, I can't find a local gf source, and postage is expensive!) and I'm not the biggest fan of eggs, so I'm still eating my cheaper rolled oats…

No. I fell into the "one last" trap when I went to quit smoking. I had a LOT of one lasts with that so I didn't want to do it with food. I did slowly transition into my new diet /lifestyle, just because I made a move to an extreme- an elimination diet to help with gut health as well as weight loss. I did find that moving…

Yes. Yes I have. Have you ever watched all of the Lord of the Ring movies in a row?
