What about your job?

Since we are on the topic, it is weird that my fiance has more of a drive when he's drinking than sober? Sometimes it bothers me.

My neighbors called the cops on us because we were grilling and they could smell the smoke from the BBQ pit in their house....that was fun.

I'm not sure if it was sleep paralysis as this as the only incident I've had so I have nothing to compare it to...but... A couple of years ago I was napping in my room while my fiance was in the living room watching T.V. All of a sudden I felt like I was in a half dream half awake state. I started to feel dizzy and as if I…

My brother and sister in law are the WORST with this. My nephew is 7 and all he eats is junk food...no lie. He does not eat, fruit, veggies, pasta of any sort, hardly any meat...I mean nothing and they are ok with it. The kid litterally eats Funyuns, chips, and cookies ALL.DAY.LONG. And they make excuses, saying "It's so…

Mine was... You do not put Hello Kitty stamps on your brother's butt. After the words came out my mouth I was like...that was the weirdest thing I think I've every said.

I spend anywhere from $600 - $800 per month on food for a family of 5. It depends on the sales and I also like to make meals that I have enough to freeze the leftovers. I can get large 2 meals out of a pot of gumbo and it only costs about $20 to make.

Years ago I notice my hair was falling out at a pretty significant rate. I have a lot of thick curly hair so even though I noticed it falling out, no one else could tell. Anyway, it turned out to be a combination of a slight hormone imbalance and stress. No fun. Best of luck to you!

WOW! 7 is young! I have 2 daughters, they are 14 and 11. I think the the pit hair and "stuff" showed up a couple of years ago. Don't remember exactly, but it wan't a big deal. They both started their period at age 11 which is the same age I was when I started mine. I spoke to my oldest daughter about getting her period…

My fiance refuses to eat what he calls "diet food" aka anything not fried or smothered in mass amounts of butter. He is not overweight weight though as he gets plenty of exercise in his line of work. And although he eats terribly, his portion sizes are reasonable and he hardly goes back for seconds. That being said, there…

I work full time and have 3 kids and I cook everyday..except Friday ;) They know better. The crock pot is my best friend. For example: Tonight due to my son's football schedule we wont be getting home until much later than normal, so this morning I stuck a roast in the crock pot. It will be ready when I get home and all I…

You are right! I'm not going to let this bother me anymore. I want to quit to be a healthier person for me and a my kids. The more I over-analyze this, the more of an excuse it will become. I've been doing well. I made it 3 days, cold turkey, but slipped up last night. Today, none. No excuses anymore!

I read that nicotine increases your metabolism and that when you quit it obviously slows down leading to weight gain. I'm not sure if this is actually true, but this is more of what I am concerned about. I can do the work as far as exercise and eating within my calories. It's the idea of something I can't control causing…

I took it for several months after I had my 3rd child. It was helpful and I lost a lot of weight, but it ultimately lead to other issues, so I'm not a huge fan of these types of medications. However, since you are already taking it... My advice, is to talk to your doctor. They may tell you to cut it in half. It…

I so feel this right now! I was nervous about ever getting married again to begin with...to anyone.

I did speak with him which is how I know we have a difference of opinion as stated in my original post. As I explained to another poster, the reason I posted it here, was to get unbiased feedback-multiple points of view, just as others have.

:D And you gather this off of one post???

I think every parent has to make the choice they feel is right for their child. My cousin doesn't let her kids have junk food. She's also an Herbalife lady so she makes them eat and drink a lot of that crap instead. She's happy with it. My brother let's his kids eat what they want when they want. If they ask for ice cream…

I posted this here because I was looking for unbiased opinions and knew I'd get a bunch a of different view points on the subject. Thanks for all the feedback!

This is where I am at. I don't have my heart set on getting married at any specific time. I know who I am and I will not be taken advantage of again. I'm going to tell him that at this point neither of these things are on the table anymore. Maybe we'll revisit the topic again in a year or so. Perhaps at that point we'll…

He's a great man. He's accepted my children as his own. He's been there for us through thick and thin for the last 4 years. I mean it just seems so ridiculous to me that we'd break up because we can't decide on the timing of marriage.

We have gone though all of the step for pre-qualification. My credit is as you say "in the toilet" where it will remain for several years, at least, due to some very poor choices my ex-husband made that I was unaware of. My fiance's credit is impeccable. He has been approved, but logistically will still rely somewhat on my…

Right! This is the core of what really bothers me about this whole thing. I mean, I could stay in the house we are in now for a few years and still get married and be just as happy. I just don't get his entire reason for buying a house before we get married. I mean, it's not as if we are financially unstable now. We both…

Well this is essentially what I told him, but he can't afford the house on his own. So, here we are both expecting 2 different things. No question we love each other. I just don't know how to bridge this gap when be are both very adamant about what we want.

Is there a reason you don't prepare your meals at home or do you just prefer takeout?

I can certainly relate. My current weight is 185. My fiance asks me every summer to wear a bikini and every summer I go back to the comfort zone of my tankini. I see people of all shapes and sizes out at the beach rocking a bikini, I just don't have the self confidence to do it. So I guess my advice to you would be, if you…

Phone conversation with my brother a few days ago... Me: Blah, blah, blah Brother: Oh shiiit! I locked my damn phone in the house! Me: Um what...

No, I gave it to the lady.

Thanks!

I once paid for a lady's cheese at the dollar store. She was two people ahead of me in line and was trying to buy a pack of cheese slices. Apparently she didn't have enough money. She left the cheese on the counter and went back to her car to look for more change. When it way my turn to check out, I bought her cheese for…
