Nice @MarciMarsea Baby steps go a long way!

You sound like you are on your way. How about just putting each little bit off just a little longer. Sure, I'll have a little of that....in 3 minutes. Or in 8 minutes. Each time you put it off you have a success. It might not work for you but it helped me in my snacking at work.

@pofoster21 this is for you --- and now you are not here -- and now I will not be here. I hope you get here soon! ^^^^^^^^^^ Here you are on 1600.

That sounds like a win-win situation to me! Well done mom!

I just tell myself it is ok for me to look a mess (or whatever) while I am getting in shape. I give myself permission to look weird and make faces and get sweaty because it pays off in the end. ETA - I hope that helps you feel better. I am sure you look fine on the treadmill but really, who really cares what you look like,…

POF, you are welcome. I did help even though I misunderstood what you were doing at first!

I confess that I really hope TK gets me a romantic and meaningful Christmas (and birthday for that matter) gift. I don't have anything specific in mind, just something that he put some thought into that shows he cares. He did well last year with a necklace and earrings. I also confess that I don't know if I should remind…

I confess that I want to get things done tonight but I have no capacity to think or to do so my paperwork won't get done but neither will a home improvement project.

oh I see what you are doing. I must have a cold. I am slow.

I confess my favorite Christmas album is by Twisted Sister.

This, and in a college town it can be very entertaining. My co-worker spotted a co-ed with bubble yum and vodka!

I got cold just reading that! I would take it easy today too!

The Keeper (who can eat anything just fine) texted me from LAX. He ordered GF pasta there on purpose and said it was really good! He sent me a picture. It looked good! I am glad there are options and find it funny that he is now ordering it (it has more of the nutrients he wants).

Does Beano help?

Oh no! I am sorry that happened. I hope you heal quickly.

That seems like something a man would say about a woman who either (1) didn't do/say/think exactly what he wanted or expected her to, or (2) who he wanted to seem more logical, rational, and methodical than her. This may absolutely be projecting but this is my experience. I am logical, I have ooodles of scientific…

Sounds wonderful.

Naturade Vegan Smart all in one nutritional shake. 20 g non-gmo protein. 6 grams fiber. no choloesterol. zero trans fat. dairy and soy free. gluten free.

I am gluten intolerant and have been GF since 1995 and mostly dairy free. The one nut I can't eat is almond. It is hard to find a gluten-free, dairy-free, almond-free bar. Almonds make me feel very nauseous and cause pain in my entire digestive system. I will be glad when the next "healthiest" thing moves from almonds to…

That is daughter. I can't have chocolate in the house or she will find it. And eat it. And then tell me she feels fat. :p

I will look into it. I have many perfume (and other) allergies and the only one I know I can wear is green tea by Elizabeth Arden.

Hugs to you and her.

Ummmm. The Keeper had some in his Chicago place. I thought it tasted a bit off, but didn't want to complain. Six months later I was there again and actually LOOKED at the date before trying it. It was four freaking years old and had not been refrigerated. No wonder it didn't taste good. We had a discussion about PB.…

Hugs. Fire is scary stuff. I was in Malibu during a bad fire. I hope all is safe and well. Take good care. Xoxox. Thinking of you.

I hope you are all better soon.

UGH. Get better soon. Hugs

I hope your week goes well. People who go to extremes seem to lose all rational thought and compassion for anything but their view. Stay safe. Hugs.. And, yes, Chimps are scary!

I know. He was not home. They are spotless and smell fresh. I did four loads of his laundry too.

Thank you. I put away the clothes, did four actual loads of laundry last night, and got his room tidied up for him while he was away at his dad's for the night. I am all for kids taking care of their own stuff or dealing with the consequences, but I am also aware the when a person is struggling with mental health issues…

Two confessions: I really enjoy Boarshead brand turkey pepperoni - I like the turkey better than the other because it is less greasy. Part of me feels a little guilty because we have a pet turkey, Georgia. I am going to fold and put away some clothes my son says are "dirty" without washing them. These are clothes he didn't…
