Awesome job. I have the same philosophy. No day is a loss. It can be salvaged.

Welcome. The key is persistence. You mess up a day, out stubborn yourself and make the next day your first day. Fight for control every day and celebrate even the smallest victory. And don't punish yourself or fret over any mistakes. In fact, they aren't mistakes. They are just a day that didn't go as planned.. like…

My step dad has schizophrenia. It's made worse by sugar.. When he is sugar free he is almost normal. If he eats sugar, the things he says and believes to be true is.. well..schizo. My ex was bipolar, schizo, and had mpd. A combination made worse because of childhood abuse, drugs, and a diet composed of mostly twinkies..…

Welcome. The first step starts in the mind and then is followed by the heart. You have to know that this is it. You will out stubborn this.

Eat more.

I didn't have a period for almost three years AND I was on the depo shot. Have a beautiful 15 (almost 16) year old girl laying on me right now cause she had a nightmare last night. You are probably pregnant but just in case it is a tumor, schedule an ultra sound. That will tell you for sure. If you are, I bet it will be…

Not buying it. Sometimes that is as difficult as walking away from a stranded kitten in the middle of an express lane. Walk passed the cheesecake section.. convince yourself for the 1000th time that it does not need rescued. Next day.. walk passed the cheesecake.. after the 50th trip. "Meh..wth." Buy cheesecake. Savor…

Old thread? I could have shown how had I been here in August. It's a little wonky but not hard.

My family of 4 lived off of a 80-100$ a month each and had a varied and healthy diet.. But I also cooked a lot from scratch and my cupboards looked bare. Now that it's 8 people in the house, it's more like 120-130$ per person because we don't make everything from scratch anymore. This is NC though. California or Alaska…

Gain muscle

Thank you for this.

Perceptions can be wrong. I was gaining weight on "nothing.." from my and my families perception. I skipped eating till dinner then "grazed" so it didn't seem like I was eating a whole lot. Yet, here I was, huge as a mountain. So curious, I decided to log AFTER a few days on just memory alone. Over 3k calories just in…

My son has Aspergers. He probably got it from me but I was born before it was a "thing." He just joined, but he isn't active. He prefers me to just make his meals.

Yes.. as long as your week total is in a deficit. I'm a freakin roller coaster.. lost 28 pounds so far.

I would make the same choices. I still don't like drugs.

I weigh daily (sometimes more) but as for logging it? Not until it hits a 5 or a 0.. I like to keep my goals simple. Log every 5 pounds.

Cancer and no. I don't buy into that anyways. If I did I'd be a mess because every culture has their own version and their own list of traits and they do not all line up. It's man made and just for fun. I'm closer to the Chinese monkey in my opinion but not all of it lined up either.

I don't know the name of the drug I was prescribed, what I do know is that I was in highschool and the idea of harming my baby in any way was unacceptable.. that meant no medications and forcing myself to eat regardless of my discomfort to protect my child. I was so about protecting my children that I refused an epidural…

"Should we use the original names for our mountains....?" "The feds set a precedent in 2015 by renaming Mount McKinley to Denali. This is also a special case, as nobody actually referred to the mountain as McKinley, the official name was changed to reflect how people already referrred to the mountain. There's a debate…

Everyone finds it in different ways. When I'm having a bad day..or week.. I have to remind myself that if I quit I definitely won't lose the weight, but if I keep treading the waters, eventually my foot will hit sand. A scale plateau isn't the same as a fat loss plateau. I recently went through a two week plateau. Got up…

As would deductive reasoning. :smirk:

And the part where I forced myself not to run to the bathroom and throw up.. What does anti-nausea medication do? Stops the nausea so you can eat. What does eating do? Nourish your body. I don't like medication. But I'm also a good mother so I compromised.. I ate regardless of the discomfort it caused me.. thus resulting…

To kill two birds with one stone.

Going to have to lose more. Apparently that's your trouble area. First to go on, last to fall off. Mine is my butt. Sucks. I'll deal though.

Help my son through college. Get my daughter into college. Help both teens set up Roth IRA accounts. Help both buy a home. Live close to both. Go to Hawaii. Come back from Hawaii. Game. Continue to work towards a healthier me.

... fish? Chicken? Skinless...?

If they really wanted to go original, try reverting back to the tribal era. A name is a name. I could care less what these places are called. Our children's children will probably rename them anyways.

Wasn't really a cheat, I just included it into my day... but Hardee's 5$ all star box. 1360 calories for lunch. Glad I skipped breakfast that day!
