When you're under duress from life's stresses, that is the time to take EXTRA-good care of yourself, by eating well, getting plenty of rest, staying well hydrated...NOT abusing your body by starving it or dehydrating it. Just this man's humble opinion. Good luck!

Leave No Trace. Excellent. I especially liked Ben Foster's departure from his usual roles as a bad-*kitten*. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_07ktacEGo8

OP, try the notorious Bulletproof Coffee: 12-16 oz fresh brewed coffee 2 tbsp MCT coconut oil 2 tbsp grass fed unsalted butter In a blender, til smooth... Dee-LISH! Lots of calories, but really good! You might have to cut back on breakfast!

According to the California Asparagus Commission (only California would have such a thing!) most asparagus sold in the US today is grown in South America...

Over and over, all day, since I opened my eyes...could be worse!

Ha! Just looked at your profile and saw that you're here since 2014! Welcome BACK, then, maybe...or just 'Hi!'...

Assuming that you're new to MFP, welcome! There are as many "ways of eating" (WOE) as there are people, which is to say that the choices you make about what you ingest are highly individualized, in terms of what satiates you and keeps you full until your next meal. There are also any number of debates over these issues,…

Just google "low carb paleo snacks" and you'll find hundreds of 'em! My personal choices are nuts and dried fruit, although both in limited amounts (I often mix up a trail mix and measure it into 1 oz portions of around 100-150 calories); Epic brand grass-fed meat bars (bison-cranberry and wild boar are my favs; also…

I have been entirely smoke-free since October 13, 2016. I smoked regularly from 1973 until 2000. My doctor(s) used to ask me how much I smoked; I would reply, "I dunno, I don't count them, I just smoke." In 2000 my 5 y/o daughter said, "Daddy, if you don't stop smoking, you're gonna die!" Within a month I had quit! (BTW, I…

If you recall, the facility in Jurassic Park had lever handles. A smooth round brass knob would defy most reptilian claws...

Where is OP lately? She used to do commentary and analysis of the dreams posted here...

I had a horrible nightmare! I dreamed I was tying a necktie!

Don't know if anyone ever posted this here on this thread, but it seems appropriate, and I thought it was pretty awesome. Apologies if it's a repeat... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0jHsq36_NTU

Just to address the title question directly: "Is fruit in the afternoon bad?" It depends on what you do with it.

The answer is so simple, but probably not what you want to hear. Take care of you. Don't drink. Go to meetings.

Back in 2006, here in Queens, I went on a date with a Nepali woman that I met on Craig's List. We had a lovely dinner and great conversation. She was a journalist and had been held hostage by rebels in the eastern mountains of Nepal and had many other interesting stories. We sat and talked for about two hours after the…

A buck-three-eighty...

Wow. I used to date a woman that went through something similar, before we met. She had lost over 100 lbs. I think she had a lot more skin removed. She said her recovery was pure hell. I am probably going to have some loose skin to deal with when I get to goal, but I'm not sure I will be able to put myself through the…

You're 25 and gorgeous. Relax and listen to RuNaRoUnDaField... You can get back on track after...

Where on the spectrum are you, exactly?

I have a feeling OP abandoned this thread...?

I sooo have to jump into this fray! 1) being a native New Yorker, may I just say that cottage cheese as a substitute for ricotta cheese in lasagna is a travesty. 2) what are "both kinds of pickles"?? There are three main categories - dill, sour and sweet - and numerous varieties of each. 3) just to prove I'm normal, I will…

I read and skimmed as much of this thread as I could, but I haven't seen any mention of the fact that our agricultural supply has gone down the tubes here in these Benighted States of America, at the same time that Europe has been demanding better quality produce. Yes, I realize that the thread is about 'the 70s, and that…

Eat well, breathe deep, get strong, feel good... 60 is the new 40!

Amen to THIS!! I want to be able to go to sleep when I'm tired and get up when I'm done, and not be on anyone else's clock...

Sorry...a case of misheard lyrics here! It's "...or make me feel three feet thick..."

If you think nothing is impossible, try putting your skis over your shoulder and walking through a revolving door...

I was gonna post something, but I think I'll wait until tomorrow...
