I kind of am picturing kudzu for you... :p

I'm not here to guess...just to appreciate... ;)

When an autistic student at my building brought me a teeny tiny can of chocolate pudding because "Isn't it the cutest thing ever Miss?" (he is 6'2" and the can was literally 1cm tall) <3

I started a reading a book called "Stiff: the curious lives of human cadavers" a while back by Mary Roach that deals with alot of what you have been sharing, but also goes into organ donation, donation to science and such. I have read through this whole thread and am impressed with your tactfulness and your thoughtful…

Still lurking and not doing my lesson plans. Trying to decide if I should post a selfie or if it matters when my pictures don't ever seem to show up.

Avoiding doing lesson plans...just like this time last Sunday and the Sunday before and the one before that...maybe I should do them during the week...

Should I take the dog for a walk before I do my lesson plans for teaching this week? The sun was out and now it's not. Ugh.

Unlike the OP, I don't think that my extra weight will keep me from dating, but I know I have dysmorphia (and think a fair number of people do), and am trying to work through my personal issues with how I view my body. In the meanwhile I am moving as much as I can and making better choices about what I eat. I will say that…

And I'm quoting Meg here because I am newly single and in the same boat. I put up a profile and took it down when I got to the point where I had to post pictures. I have gained 20 pounds over the course of my divorce, and I just do not feel confident. However, I also think I deserve to be happy and have regular sex, and…

@ OP: You can have a whiskey up or on the rocks for under 100 calories...although I prefer vodka for that.

If you are just drinking shots of hard liquor...or something on the rocks. And you can always mix with diet soda instead of juices or reg soda.

The biggest problem for me now is where does a 40 year old woman go to meet men that are single, intelligent, educated, working and relatively attractive? I am working on me, and if a "he" comes along, I'm willing to try!

I have to jump in here...not because I am presently dating or because I am where I want to be weight wise, but because after 17 years of marriage I am single again and even if the last year has beaten the hell out of me, I know someday I will want to date again. And frankly, dating scares the crap out of me now...I can't…

You want to see a doctor and your OB to make sure there aren't any other issues...

For all my papers to be graded, recorded and lesson plans to be done...

Vismal-I actually remember when you first joined MFP in 2011 ( I was under a different user name, but stepped away from MFP for a while and forgot my user name/password)...I was using it then to lose baby weight from my second child. You have done excellent work, regained your life and added a new one! Congratulations on…

Tap dancing spiders...

I vote for the "everything will be better when you lose weight myth," because face it, your problems don't melt away just because your body has. It never ceases to amaze me how many people who are unhappy think being fit or thin will make them happy. Although I won't argue that maybe you will be less unhappy...

Oh my God...or not my God or Holy fing *kitten* What. is. wrong. with. people?

bummppping to look for lifting ideas...anybody? Buehler? Buehler?

Beautiful work my friend. You should be so proud. Absolutely you can not make everyone happy, but you are doing you perfectly! Def inspiring to me- as a former power lifter overcoming injury. <3

You should be so proud of yourself <3 ...and the darker hair is so flattering!

false TNP has curly hair.

I can see that. It ends up the ring nor my husband were very special...

Who doesn't like beer? TNP is avoiding doing something that should have been done hours ago?

This breaks my heart a little bit.

He was really hanging out... :o
