Yes, it will make a difference. You will likely gain even more weight due to emotional overeating when you hate your new job, miss your old job, and realize how terrible of a decision you have made. :(

5'8/5'9. Currently weigh 145. I have long skinny legs and sadly no butt, but I'm still working on getting rid of belly fat. I comfortably fit US size 4 pants if they sit below the waist. Need at least a size 8 if they sit at or above the waist. :( Oh yeah, and my tops are medium or large depending on the style. I lost some…

True story: When I was in high school I had a summer job at a grocery store. My only task was to find all the products in the store that were past the "sell by/use by/best before" date, take them to the back room, and remove the dates with a razor blade and/or rubbing alcohol. Then put a sticker/stamp on with a new date.…

It doesn't answer your question, but...it looks like you started your day trying to restrict sugar (all sugar free/no sugar added/unsweetened stuff), and then later in the day you massively binged on sweets. It might help if you allow yourself small amounts of sugar/sweets throughout the day so that you are less tempted to…

The symptoms most likely are psychosomatic, but they need to be addressed by a medical professional either way. Good luck!

It is also sooooo expensive. Probably about six times more per fl.oz than Sprite Zero. I don't know OP's financial situation, but I do know she'll have plenty of expenses when the baby comes. I suspect she'd rather spend her money on diapers than wasting it on overpriced water with lemons imported from Italy in fancy…

WORSE than just cave in: via Imgflip Meme Generator

But it's a FREE trial...so you've got nothing to lose except pounds of rotting food and toxic sludge!! (Fine print: First month supply is free. Just pay $39.95 for shipping and handling. After your free month we'll mail you a refill every 30 days for the low rate of just $89.99 plus s&h. For your convenience we will…

Most ludicrous and aggravating part of that commercial is the fake caller calling the fake customer service, and it goes something like this... Fake customer service rep: "Hello, Ma'm. Are you calling about the free trial of SB?" Fake customer: "Actually, I already got the free trial. And now I have a problem I didn't…

Your avatar is very appropriate for this thread! "I'd like a nice chianti and some fava beans with the mailman please". :p

This line made me LOL... Husband: "You can't eat our neighbor." Wife: "The man is knee deep in his herb garden. He is seasoning himself." :D

I have only watched the first two episodes so far, but I think I agree. On a positive note, watching it while eating lunch completely ruined my appetite. That saved me from devouring more than a reasonable amount of meat lasagna. :s

Yeah, that's what I figured. Human flesh is fine as long as it fits into your calorie goals, right? I just can't find the correct entry in the MFP database. :/

My grandma: "Drinking soda straight from the can makes you swallow too much gas, and if you drink more than three cans a day you'll explode from all the gas." She insisted that after I open the can I first blow across the top so the excess gas can escape before having a sip. :p

I thought OP said she already lost 8 pounds in the first week or two (not sure why she doesn't know how long it's been). The 7 pounds was her goal for this week (week 2 or 3).

Yes, hospitals in the US will bleed dry any patient who has good insurance...and toss out the ones without insurance before the anesthesia has even worn off. In my daughter's case insurance only paid for ONE pregnancy test. When we received a statement of all the unpaid items we discovered that they ran one every day. Also…
-
So true. When my daughter was 11 (and not sexually active) she was hospitalized for two weeks. Not only did they do a pregnancy test when she was first admitted...they tested her EVERY DAY for the full two weeks she was there. My husband threw a fit when he saw that on the bill. He asked them which of their doctors or…

Yup. Combine a sale with coupons and you can stock up on them for less than $1.50 each, sometimes even under a dollar. That's part of why I love them. Convenient and inexpensive, and many of them are absolutely delicious (Marie Callender's pot pies are amazing).

Ketoacidosis can be smelled on a person's breath. This is due to acetone, a direct by-product of the spontaneous decomposition of acetoacetic acid. It is often described as smelling like fruit or nail polish remover. Ketosis may also smell, but the odor is usually more subtle due to lower concentrations of acetone.…

Absolutely nothing wrong with those frozen meals (except high sodium if that is something you need to watch for medical reasons)! I usually microwave a bag of steam-in-bag veggies to add some bulk and make it more of a complete meal. Peas or broccoli go great with the Alfredo.

Dannon Oikos Triple Zero has 15g of protein and 7g of sugar (naturally occurring, not added) per 150g serving. I thought that was pretty good. What brands would you recommend?
-
What's wrong with Dannon Greek yogurt, and what makes other Greek yogurt "good"? Just curious.

Not what the OP is asking about, but I would like to share a cautionary tale: Shortly after we got married my husband sprained his ring finger, but refused to take his wedding band off at first. However, the swelling got so bad that the ring was cutting off blood flow and his finger started turning blackish. Went to the…

Put it in the microwave for about 10 seconds and it turns into a molten lava cake. Delicious. All it needs is a scoop of vanilla ice cream and some whipped cream. :D

OP, if you google "Structure House reviews" you'll find some statements from people who went there (or at least CLAIM they went there). Like all online reviews I would take them with a grain of salt since often they are written by or on behalf of people who benefit financially. That being said, they all sound very positive…

I just looked at their website. Over $11,000 for a 4-week stay, and more for optional programs. Wow! Saving all that money would be motivation enough for me to change my eating habits.

That's another good one! In the US jail is informally referred to as the "pokey". (And no, pubs here don't usually have jail cells in them...although that wouldn't be a bad idea). Gambling machines are usually called "slot machines" and sometimes "one-armed bandits".

We had an exchange student from Australia stay with us (in the US). One day I told her we were having pot pie for dinner, and she first looked confused and then her face lit up. Come dinner time she was disappointed when the pot pies were chicken and veggies with a pastry crust. Apparently she thought it was some sort of…

But does knowing why you want to eat make you stop eating?
