Run. Do not walk away....SPRINT from this loser. If the whole package doesn't attract him, you will drive yourself crazy trying to become what Mr. Perfect thinks he needs. He is a dude who will damage you. Run.

The question is...have you outgrown the love? First love is potent...but the roots are fragile. "Fight for him" implies that you will be doing this over and over. I was with one man for 30 years...and life changed us both. It always does. Will you love him in ten years...or are you afraid to lose what WAS?

Smart men with great eyes and awesome voices...melt me like buttah....

Complicated!

This is serious. I applaud you for reaching out here, but none of us grasp how rough this is for you. You sound like you have body dysmorphia...not a surprise...it goes with bulimia. But you need help to make sure that you don't tip this into something dangerous, where the only thing you value is the number on your scale.…

If she has PCOS, weight is always going to be an issue. What she was actually asking is what matters most to you. Women with PCOS frequently find relief in dietary change....but it has to be their choice. Diabetics are controlled by their diets....which is why so many cheat, even knowing the long tern effects will suck.…

Family. Ah yes. I suspect i get the why of it. My sister lost about 50 pounds in high school...then 20 more along the way. When I was chubby in high school she would "talk" to me about it. It made me feel unhappy and inadequate. When i started Mfb, the first three pounds seemed to take forever to lose....(actually only 11…

I decided to hit mine in sections. Goal one...50 pounds in one year. Slow and steady...and sustainable! This isn't a diet for me...it's a life style change I needed to make for my health. When I lose 50, I will hit the reset...and try for the rest. In the meantime, I am working on recipes that work for me...because I am…

It might depend on your lineage. Six of ten people who derive from European roots cannot properly digest soy. They gave it to my daughter when she was born, assuming that cow milk would be a problem. (no tests...just assumptions ...and before anyone goes there, i planned to breast feed but could not.) My daughter could not…

What i find interesting is the implied snark and judgement. People who are here are trying. Give them credit. If our bodies were all identical, and worked all the same, then we could all take the same treatments for illness...with identical results. I work with special needs adults, in supervised group home settings. They…

Nope...keep balanced. Love most things...will NOT touch Kale...rather have spinach.

Oh honey...wrong forum. People who never had metabolism issues DON'T BELIEVE it. I read the same article you did. I found it fascinating. I also work with special needs adults in group home settings. We give our clients low fat, healthy balanced meals. They have no access to food unless we serve it. Yet 6 adults are all…

Hi girl...no offense to Brandon, but during a long period of disability, I gained 40 pounds eating less than 1000 cals a day. I hear you. I noticed dramatic results when I was able to walk again...but three years off your feet is no picnic. If you set your activity level to Sedentary, and actually can do some exercise, it…

HI..and you GO, gorgeous! I am trying to lose 50 pounds in a year. That may not seem impressive, but I am after a gradual, sustainable loss that I can then adapt as a lifestyle change. No offense to those who don't face the large loss challenge...but they really don't get it. Add me if you like...I am a whiz bang cook, and…

If I may...you're assuming a LOT. I have been told that weight gain is the result of the wrong balance of food to exercise. I also spent three years unable to walk due to foot issues. I watched my weight go up, and asked my doctors to send me to a nutritionist. The problem was cutting my caloric intake to support a low…

I hear you. When I began I was shocked by how often I was 600-800 cals shy my goal. And it wasn't because I was fasting, or doing it on purpose. I have a good buddy who calls me on it...and even suggests ways I can bring my total to a better level. But I don't force it. If I don't feel hungry, it's hard to eat.…

If your actual beef is manners...you are on the wrong side here. Judith Manners (also known as Miss Manners, the etiquette expert) would chide you for being nosy...and ask if someone who was diabetic or hypoglycemic needed to explain to EVERYONE in the store that they were eating to restore their sugars, etc. You have no…
