You don't need to have blood "drawn" to have it typed. It only takes a prick on the tip of your middle finger, similar to how people with diabetes test their blood sugar.

This is very true. :) For me, going to the gym or going for a walk keeps me away from the refrigerator. Out of sight, out of mind. ;)

Oooooo... I never thought of adding a disclaimer. LOL!

Do you have time for diarrhea? Before you scroll down and read the next message, think about it. If you were at work, or at home with your family, cooking dinner, or out at a movie, in a restaurant, anywhere at all.... and the cramping and churning started.... would you make time for it? Or would you say, "I'm too busy?" I…

There are a lot of sweet treats out there that don't include refined sugars. Dates are nature's perfect sweetener! I recently made a wonderful sweet treat for myself that has just THREE ingredients. One cup of nuts (your choice), one cup of dried fruit (your choice), and one cup of dates (must use). Toss them all into a…

Given the many ways we can abuse our bodies - poor diet, substance use, lack of exercise, poor sleep, and stress, to name a few - our bodies can still be very forgiving (sometimes). I was a pack-a-day smoker for 26 years when I quit cold turkey one day, 14 years ago. One of the first changes I noticed was my ability to…

You're right in saying that going to the movies should be fun. All in moderation, right? I'll look for Jurrasic World, too - thanks for the tip :smile:

Well I did it. I survived a night at the movies with my Cheerios, cherries and Saskatoons! Some Peanut M&M's would have satisfied my sweet tooth in a much bigger way, but I'm still pleased with the alternative. It's a good thing I don't go to the movies every day. ;)

Thank you for your good ideas! I was going to make some air-popped popcorn, seasoned with something spicy, but I don't have enough time. Instead, I'm bringing in some frozen Saskatoons, some cherries (with the pits), and a cup of plain Cheerios. Something I discovered with this little dilemma is that I don't eat at the…

Ohhhh, boy! You are singing my song, practically note for note! First of all, give yourself a big pat on the back for your 50 pound loss. That's no small feat, so be very proud of yourself. :smile: I agree with much of what everyone else is saying here. Unlike giving up other things like drugs or alcohol, we need food to…

Did I read this correctly? You're asking "what is a cup?????" One cup is 8 fluid ounces, or 250 milliliters. Cups measure FLUIDS. A cup measurement is not to be confused with WEIGHT. One "cup" of marshmallows will weigh less than one "cup" of marbles. Yet they will both fill the same "cup." The thing I hate is when people…
