Pfft. Packaged = bad. It may not be the food itself that is bad but all those preservatives and colors ARE. I'd rather follow Daniels example.

Why would you eat food you hate???? Like waffles? Syrup? Blueberries? How bout 2 eggo waffles (140 calories for BOTH), sugar free syrup (15 calories 1/4 cup.. which.. ewww too much syrup) and blue berries on top? Or skip syrup, get light whipped cream.. (30 calories for 2 tbs).. add strawberries or blackberries.. 1 egg…

Pfft! Meteor? I'm so not wasting time eating on my last day! My kids and I are going to have loads of fun then grab lawn chairs and watch the drama unfold!

How underweight is the toddler? Is it a He or she? My daughter has always been tiny. Doctors threatened ss on me because of it. One dr however asked me if she was listlessly or sickly, if she played. Then told me that she is just petite. First smart doctor I met. At 6 she was in size 3 toddler. At 10 she was the size of a…

I envy those like Girl Scout cookie girl who thinks the whole "the trick is not denying yourself, just limit those foods" works on everyone. I tried that route but for me it's the number one culprit of my weight problems. I TRY to stop but once I have ONE of what I crave, the rest soon follow. Take just an hour ago. My…

I have found no magic cure. I feel better though if I know it wasn't enough of a fall for the week to gain. I have my stats set to lose 1 lb a week. For me that is 1730cal a day. But I also know what it would be if set to lose .5lbs a week and just to maintain. If I am under my maintenance calories I feel better. So I…

Lol.. my opinion is "hoe".. But it's a great way to spread communal diseases!

Want to but to much of a coward. That and if any issues arose I would be PISSED! I can't stand eye drops in my eyes. I freak out. I can't even get water in my eyes.

My doctors (2 of them now) are completely USELESS! I am obese. When I decided I needed to do something about it, it was me that brought it up and I asked them if they would refer me to a nutritionist. "Sure, we we can do that." 5 more visits and 8 phone calls and over a year later REMINDING them I asked for this and they…

You don't have to count if your diet is 100% vegetables.. I doubt you could eat enough to go over a deficit. YES you need to count calories! It's good practice if you aren't use to eating healthy. And many ppl think they are eating healthy but don't consider oils or volume (nuts add up Fast). Until you have trained…

I want another dog but my sister in law and brother live with me and have 3. Between us we have 7 cats and my son has a ball python. I hate my sils dogs... but I can't reconcile the idea of adding another animal to the household especially not after that 600 dollar vet visit after my sil almost poisoned 4 of our cats by…

He DOES seem a bit unstable. And pushy for someone just recently let back into your life. I have a friend who promises one thing then gets "distracted" with work and gaming. It's irritating but we aren't a couple so I have no hold over him. On the flip side I do this a lot to another guy friend of mine who thinks he can…

Nope. Hated them as a kid too. I hate mushy bread and anything messy or sticky. Hated watermelon as a kid because I didn't know how to eat it without it touching me.

I like you.

Lol.. but it's the ultimate lazy! Teach them now with some effort and never have to work again! I homeschool my kids now. And by homeschool I mean I don't do crap. They are so indoctrinated into having to research for themselves that I just tell them what I want them to learn and they go look it up! Like Calculus.. who has…

I taught all our cats to ask to go out so I didn't have to clean out a litter tray. It satisfied both my lazy bone and my stingy bone. Except for a tuxedo named Silhouette. She used the toilet. Taught my dog to walk the kids to the bus stop in the early AM hours and then to go get them again in the afternoon. Taught my…

Just another day. I only celebrate fun holidays like Halloween or Easter and Christmas.. or ren fest

Only if you let it.

Glib

I couldn't because I hate the taste of bread and noodles but my daughter is a bread addict. She begs for 4 things every time we shop.. chocolate, pocky, okra, and a loaf of bread from the deli. I have to tell her no because she WILL eat the whole loaf in one sitting.

My kids. At 6 and 9 my kids tried to wake me up and demand donuts for breakfast at 6am. I told them to go back to bed. They didnt. They kept aggravating me and I told them to just go get a bowl of cereal like normal kids. When that didnt work I cleverly mumbled "you know where the keys are, get your own damn donuts."…

HAHA. My daughter had GORGEOUS blonde hair down to her thighs in kindergarten. One day I went to do her hair up for school (I was a sucker for intricate braids so my daughter never went to school without something awesome and original) and found that half of her hair had been cut off at her shoulder. I asked her how it…

Last time? I hope this implies that you intend to stick with it and not that you plan to give up if this doesnt work. Never give up. Never have a last time. Its better to have a thousand do overs than a single last time.

I have that issue when I do watch. For the most part, I HATE tv. It's too boring and time consuming. But sometimes in very rare cases, I will find something decent to watch and sadly my desire goes straight to snacking. Must be the conditioning learned from going to movie theaters and buying popcorn. I dont have cable. For…

My son was into fire too. I looked out the window while folding clothes when he was 9 and he had started a fire by a big oak tree. He was fanning the flames and it was already up to his waist. I shook my head and my bf asked me what was up, so I pointed out the window. He saw the flames and freaked out. He ran outside…

Caught rattlesnakes, broke a horse (and she broke my ribs.. and foot), snuck out of the house at midnight to go exploring the woods in the moonlight, ditched school enough times, threw a chair at a teachers head, slapped the principle, poured soda on the substitute teachers lap when she told me to pour it out, tried pot…

The sex idea would def work. You get extra exercise and he gets worn out to the point of not wanting pizza. If he isnt worn out yet, more exercise! He SHOULD be more considerate with the whole pizza thing, but telling an adult that he or she cant make adult decisions is a real relationship killer. I wouldnt put up with it.…

It all depends on the genre mostly. I am addicted to reading period. Some young adult.. some adult.. I did enjoy the hunger games and divergent but maze runner can burn for all I care. I liked Among the Hidden. My son got me into that when he was in the second grade. Same for the Ice fire series. He likes to read a lot…

Wish I could convince family here to do that. I mean, I suppose I could try but reality says the moment they serve meat, Im eating it..

Thank you. I encouraged them early on to be confident in themselves. I didnt have that growing up. Teachers, grandparents, aunts and uncles.. preachers wife.. All had to ask me why I couldnt be as pretty or as skinny or as talented as my sister. When my kids were born, I saw perfection in them both. I tease and call them…
