Yikes! I do not want loose skin! That has been dimly in the back of my mind, so thank you for saying it up front. And yes, I am obese. I don't "look" like it, I'm definitely smaller than most of my co-workers, but I can feel the extra fat when I sit, and I can't walk too far without getting winded, which is new for me. : (…

This is really helpful, and I appreciate your perspective. I truly don't want to ruin my health, so I do try to keep an eye on things like blood pressure, cholesterol, activity level, etc. But I'm also just emerging on the other side of a time when it felt impossible to care about a healthful diet because the only…

I think you are probably right. All the big changes in my life were hard to deal with and aggravated my depression. Thankfully, I was able to find a decent therapist, and a good psychiatrist. So I'm doing better now and would even say I'm fine, but maybe I can make more progress toward being happier in more meaningful…

I am prone to depression, but right now it's managed. However, maybe having it managed isn't enough. Maybe I need to make an effort to be happier in ways that don't involve eating. I'll have to give some thought about what that looks like for me.

I have seen a doctor, and so far my health is OK. I definitely don't want to ruin my health; maybe I should aim for eating healthier foods right now and not worry about portion sizes until later. (I know excess weight in itself is not good for health, but I could at least replace junk food with fresh food for now.) I did…

Ideally, everyone would have disease free partners; but realistically, people don't. Even ones who wait for marriage could be cheated on by their spouse, or fall in love with someone who didn't wait like they did, or, sadly, even be raped. Even if two virgins marry, what happens if one leaves or dies and the other wants to…

I've been trying to see where you're coming from with your posts, but I have to say I think you missed the point of Sued0nim's statement. Not allowing schoolchildren to use vending machines while in uniform is still a way of controlling them. Maybe there's a good reason for the rule; I'm not saying it's inherently bad. But…

@lulalacroix Yes, you can eat at your seats. The dining car is only for those ordering food there, but there was a section just before it with tables for anyone to use --I think so any way; we weren't interested in finding out but there was no one keeping tabs like there was in the dining area. Edit: their website says…

I don't remember anyone getting off at stops; I don't think they're long enough to get off, go somewhere, and return. Also, a lot of the stations were far from anywhere with food. I am pretty sure there was NO food at the stations we used (maybe a crappy vending machine, now that I think about it). On the return trip, the…

I thought the quantity was skimpy and the taste was forgettable. I ate breakfast, for what it's worth. Which route will you be on?

It's been a while, so I don't know what their current options are. Maybe they have information on the website? I will say, it's expensive. I would recommend bringing your own food.

Just wanted to highlight all the positive things you're doing! Screw that company that takes advantage of people! You're doing awesome on your own. Keep it up! You've got this! <3 Edit: Holy cow, I just read your review and what they wrote to you! So unprofessional and insulting, to say the very least! And the way they…

Water weight is gained back once you start eating carbs again. Seeing the scale go up again after an initial loss is very discouraging. The bolded part sounds like a personal problem, the voice of experience even. In such a case, my advice would be to find strategies to prevent benders/binging, because no diet is an…

I'm with you on limiting children's access to juice. I think sweet drinks should be a "sometimes" food for kids, saved for special occasions. That said, just because kids love juice doesn't mean it's a problem with the juice. You could say that about anything! "There's one big problem with recommending more protein in a…

Wow, I hope your mom knew some better recipes to make up for those monstrosities! It makes me sad that the cornbread was like salty sand. Cornbread should be heavenly!

Too bad for her. Crab legs are the candy of the sea!

Yes, please see a doctor. You deserve to feel better. <3 In the meantime, try some of these resources: http://www.1800ppdmoms.org/ http://www.postpartum.net/get-help/ http://www.postpartum-depression.net/Pecindman.com/Resources_for_Perinatal_Depression_Anxiety.html http://www.womenshealth.gov/mental-health/hotlines/ There…

On the other hand, our collective stress level went up!

I believe it. Spheres have the greatest volume with the smallest surface area out of all geometrical shapes. They can fool you for their size!

I haven't tried it, but my only concern would be what I would do after a month. Keep with it? Or start working on portion control and fitting treats into my diet. (I don't believe in no no foods; some people choose not to partake of foods that they know they'll overeat, others choose to have smaller portions--either way, I…

I apologize if I struck a wrong note. It was just a bit of silliness. :p

Trust me. No one will be looking at your feet when you put on your dress.

I said QED. So it's good for everyone.

Hey, no worries. People here understand water weight.

Asphalt comes from the earth, so it counts. QED.
