Move. Walk around, exercise a bit, do pelvic floor exercises. When I am on my opiates, moving and stool softeners (not laxatives) really work well. Also, eating too much fibre can cause constipation too. Not sure if you're in that range. Maybe try lowering your fibre intake since it isn't helping?

So that was a long post. Here's how my first few days have been: Not good. The medications I'm on make me both hungry, and shred self control so I ate way too much of just anything. Thankfully, I got it under control yesterday, and that was a good day! Today's shaping up to be a good one too. Only sweet flavoured things…

I'd love to have some boiled sweets around but even if they're sugar free, I just want to eat them all. I'm really, really bad at this. The mints are alright since they're a strong flavour but mint sweets never seem to get that strong. We're picking up an anniversary cake in a couple of months, and oh my god, it is the…

It's most likely an oxygen issue, not a circulation issue.

I'm hoping just stopping for awhile will get me there. I also cannot eat praline coated nuts. I will eat a whole bag of those *kitten*. On the…

Salt guidelines are rather controversial. Some meta-analyses are finding that there isn't a strong correlation between salt, and heart disease. The original study that linked salt to heart disease has also come under scrutiny. What we're seeing is that the link between salt, and heart disease seems to be dependent on…

My goal weight is 160 lbs. I was always told I should be about 80 - 75 kg (175 - 165 lbs) but that would put me in the overweight category (I'm 5'8") so I'm aiming a little over. I am legitimately large boned so at the top of normal/healthy BMI sounds about right to me. That said, I'll be happy if I'm 175 lbs.

I'm plus size, and would love to have more friends :)

I'm ready to get back into the community aspect of this, and would love more friends. I've had a horrible week, and maybe some friends will help keep me motivated. Note: my diary is not open.
