I'm a big fan of the Eatsmart Precision Plus digital scale. It's about $24 on Amazon. No bells and whistles, just accuracy and repeatability.

I miss my brother. He could just look at me and we would laugh and laugh and life was long back then

Hi! You've crafted a very well written post here. I've got a lot of similar stories ... snatching defeat from the jaws of victory. I know how soul-crushing it can feel ... thinking of the life I could be living if only I hadn't done _____. But I get a little strength from just saying to myself, "my past failures don't…

Some people believe that colored toilet paper used to be a thing, but I have absolutely no memory of it. It just sounds made up to me. Mandela Effect?

It looks like the answer to the OPs question is no. No one has taken Plenity ... at least no one who is brave enough to admit it here in the House of Tough Love.

If life gives you lemons, smile politely and then throw them in the trash when life isn't looking. Maybe I should have posted this on the introvert thread ...

I apologize for the snarky tone in my original response. At first glance it appeared that you were replying to your own comment ... as if someone were actually saying, "I am not able to lose weight." It seemed out of place when you consider that an entire community of people here on MFP are loudly proclaiming that we CAN…

Are you demanding an explanation from ... yourself?

I think this is just human nature. I don't mean 'Human Nature' in the sense that it's impossible to overcome, but just that it is our default setting. But maybe this is just true for introverts? In my inner narrative, I'm the good guy. The protagonist. Always. If I'm convinced someone doesn't like me, then by definition…

This is a grammatically correct sentence ... "Buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo."

On Parenting ... Say NO when you have to, but say YES often

But ... are there shy extroverts? I don't think there are.

Is "introvert" the same as "shy?" I don't think it is.

I think I identified some introverts in real life! Picture the scene: I was waiting in a classroom for a meeting to begin, watching everyone and narrating in my head just like usual. There were about six or eight people, and zero conversation when a young couple breezed into the room with a few wobbly little kids. To no…

I tried the carnivore diet, but I was only interested in weight loss ... I guess I viewed it sort of like the "Keto Diet" without all the reading. In my ignorance, I believed that fewer carbs meant more weight loss, so shooting for "Carnivore Diet" seemed to be a great way to eliminate ALL carbs and eat as much meat as I…

Wisdom comes with experience, but I think it also requires a certain amount of introspection ... so it only seems natural that we would face more inward as we get older. Maybe it's not our personality-type changing, but just that we are getting better at being ourselves.

Fun Fact ... I am an introvert, but I enjoy public speaking. I once heard Seinfeld (also an introvert) say something that sums up how it feels. He said, "I can talk to all of you, but I can't talk to any of you."

When I was teenager, I always looked at being an introvert as something that needed to be fixed. I thought it meant shy and fearful, and if I just practiced I could get past it. Back then, I made a study of the people around me, paying close attention to the extroverts that were so engaged in the world around them. They…

I wonder if we should analyze this statement to see what it was exactly that killed this thread. Maybe we should ask the guy who mysteriously knows what others are afraid to say ... his mind-reading abilities are just the thing to crack this case.

I just want everyone to know that if I am ever called upon to save the world by playing Tetris ... we're going to be okay.

I think this may be my moment. Reading this comment right here. Binge eating is self-harm.

Submechanophobia [ sub-meh-kan-uh-foh-bee-uh ] - noun Psychiatry The irrational fear of man made objects that are submerged or partially submerged in water. I might be able to approach this thing in a boat, but there's no chance I'm swimming anywhere near it.

I may be old fashioned, but my wife is the most important person on the planet to me. If she were bothered by me keeping company with you, and she and I couldn't work it out ... then it's good-bye to you. Also, I don't know what word is hiding under the *kitten* in your comment above, but the fact that MFP needed to hide…

I'm guessing a range of 250-300 ... probably closer to 300

Get out of my head!

This is so vivid it made me shiver. Very well said.
