I dont need a psychiatrist but my GP is very well versed

You're a little late to the party. You see, Jewels, I have had to put some people on ignore in here. Seems "they" don't like my postings. Oddly enough, nobody made them look at my postings. So I've been getting dumped on: "that shouldn't be in here" etc. Though nothing I've said or done has violated TOS nor attacked…

A little late here but thanks all. Went to dr. No sign of depression per se. "Just old age" he said. As we age, we drop a lot of things naturally developed in our systems. So he has me on melatonin, which believe it or not, has helped and is natural! Thanks guys!

I mentioned this to lemony. I am not only accountable to me. If I die prematurely it affects my son, who is mentally handicapped. A husband, who has physical illnesses of his own. Even a dog, who relies on me as well. It also affects everyone here on this forum in a way. We're supposed to be uplifting and inspirational for…

One of the things that I am doing is learning what derails me. Here's the list so far: 1- sad moments. When my dog died I went into a depression. More because of the circumstances of his death than anything else; 2- bullying. At 61 I find there are still people out there- especially on the internet- who will try to bully…

So last night I was standing in WalMart. Not the best place to be after a depressing day on MFP's forum. I tried to institute your suggestion but there's no function to allow changing the title of a thread :(

Nothing vague nor misleading about it. My very first few posts explain it all. But at least you have a constructive criticism. I'll take that and run with it. Except its not a blog per se. Its a forum.

If this thread here bothers you that much its perfectly okay to skip it, isn't it? I dont go the threads I don't like reading. I peek in, see whats there, if its not my thing I leave.

If you had stated that first I wouldve supplied the info. Perhaps you were mistaken in what it is you're looking for? http://ebn.bmj.com/content/12/3/92.full.pdf+html http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3060773/ "This Internet weight loss community plays a prominent role in participants’ weight loss efforts.

works for me, honeybee! btw..that news guy scarfing popcorn? not terribly annoying other than its a poorly done .gif

Oh, for the record, I am a Mom of five, grandmother to 9, and great grandmother to 1.5.

Hello there Tausha. I am doing the same thing. Unfortunately some people on here got their knickers in a knot because, well, I had the audacity to type more than a paragraph as well as being very personal about my need for support. So here I am! I'll support ya! Mostly because you're asking and I think that's the best…

41 to go to get the 199 I used to sing "One day at a time, Sweet Jesus" now I sing: "One pound at a time..."

Jaidann I wanted to reiterate my thank you to you and others who seem to understand why I selected this over a blog format. Maybe others dont understand the technology well enough so I will attempt to explain. Blogs were originated not to be public. Instead they came along as an alternative to the message board. Unlike the…

OKAY NOW if someone would kindly tell me who is making you all read this thread out of the thousands available on myfitnesspal, I would like to know! Shame on them for making you click on this thread and double shame on them for making you read it! :#

Maybe you can answer my question: What is so earth shattering about this? Why are some people so seemingly disturbed by it? There's no rule saying it cannot be done. And nobody has to click on the thread. So what's the issue?

Not a problem :) http://www.webmd.com/diet/obesity/features/choosing-weight-loss-buddy#1 http://www.signaturemedicinemd.com/weight-loss/personal-accountability "So how can you accept and show your accountability? Paradoxically, showing personal accountability may mean being accountable to someone else. In much the same way…

Actually Roxie, no, it's not a "personal journal". Its an open recounting and sharing of thoughts, insights and maybe even some recipes and products. I have to wonder though: why dump on someone else trying to get healthier? Maybe lemonychild doesn't care about my struggles and thoughts. That's okay. But if she really…

has anyone else here ever had salad for breakfast? It seems that we're taught a lot of things that we carry over into our grown up years. One of those is what constitutes breakfast. Think about this for a moment if you will. Long before you could reach the upper shelf of the fridge, you were being given breakfast. This…

I'm going to focus on something I think is more important: how do you react to others after your weight loss. Years ago there was a made for TV movie called "the girl most likely to". Played by Stockard Channing, the story revolved around an obese college student who admittedly was not very pretty but was trying her best…

Thanks so much, Jerome. Stir fry is great! In a way I wish there was more of a push towards health in churches. I guess there's some out there that do. I've just not found one in my area as yet. By the way guys, I ate the recipe for todays little casserole. Not bad. Had to amp up the black pepper to get some zing and…

I am 5'4" 240 down from 380 I currently wear a size 22 was in a size 32 Anyone want some used tents? They used to be my dresses.

Hi there Ava. Nice name! I know a young man who is presently in the Marines. It was a lifelong dream of his (Semper Fi!) His motivation to lose weight WAS the Marines. He didn't wait til he lost it to sign up. He went to the recruitment office.They told him he had to lose weight (he had to drop 75) and they signed him up…

Okay Dani. First of all, I commend you for being so open about this. You may find people get upset when you're too honest. Ignore their 'tude, dude. You have a problem! I am also an emotional eater. It's hard because you don't always catch it right away. Then, one day you wake up and 10 pounds has grown back somewhere on…

"You're only accountable to you. I doubt many care to the extent we like to think they do" Its a proven fact that if you're accountable to others, most people do much better with their weight loss or whatever they're trying to accomplish. Maybe you don't want to see it, that's fine. Just skip over the thread (it's not so…

BYEBYE SUNDAY!................................................................................medium length article So, this is another day. Sunday in fact. Sunday morning breakfast is light. Sunday morning lunch is a sandwich of some kind. And then there's Sunday dinner. Remember Sunday dinners? I do. As a kid and when my…

"Thank you! Food "addiction" is hard. I know, not a real addiction but it sure feels like it. I am learning not to binge. And not to hide it. And how to feed my body thinking of food as fuel 95% of the time. Keep posting, keep moving, accountability is awesome. Recruit some real life friends as well if you can as buddies."…

"I had written something else but decided to erase it. I had said that maybe break up the posts into separate posts on this thread as I'd love to follow you but I have a low attention span. It's my issue not yours." Thanks for letting me know this. Not all of my posts will be long. Just some days I guess there's more to…
