My twins have been home completely alone for a few hours here and there (they're 8 years old); they are alone each morning when I leave for work/before the bus arrives. My children have been minimally monitored for several years. My mother lives with us and works nights. In the summer and on vacation time, she sleeps and…

A newborn calf and a rack of ribs = 92 lbs. Ohhhhh the irony!

I think another one of my challenges is to stay off the scale. When I wake up feeling refreshed from actually getting a good night's sleep or I feel thinner than I did the day before, I'm tempted to weigh myself. Often, that's a trigger for me. I'll feel smaller or feel more fit and get on the scale hoping for a certain #…

Have we firmed up any official challenges? I think that along with other things stated, that when feeling the urge to binge, we could be challenged to add a Note to our food log or to add a Blog post here on MFP. Sometimes it's easy to admit things to oneself and then come up with reasons to justify why it 'wasn't so…

One of my biggest triggers is not being patient. When I'm hungry I want food NOW! Not in 3 minutes or 12 minutes or not even one second longer... this lack of patience increases when I don't stick to my normal food schedule. I don't eat first thing in the morning & sometimes people at work get all upset when I eat…

Week one went well for me. My binge eating is tough because I often eat in my sleep & don't know exactly what or how much I eat on some of those binges. I wake up with food wrappers or partially eaten 'meals' in bed with me, a horrible taste in my mouth, a ton of guilt & I feel like I'm starving to death the day after a…

I have a Night Eating Syndrome which is a binge eating and sleep walking combined. I have not binged in almost 2 weeks (when I did, I stayed under calories but I still know it was emotional binge eating), have been within calorie range since 12/26/13 and have not eaten in the middle of the night in 8 days. My goals are to…

You calves are normal looking. Think of this... when I started here my calves were 25 inches (63.5 cm) around. Perhaps the length of your shorts or skirts don't hit in a visually pleasing zone for your taste. Anything hitting on the seemingly widest part of your body creates a visual illusion of more bulk in places where…

I was told to come here and participate... anything I can do to help! TAAAAAAAAAAAAADAAAAAAAAAAAAAAS

I stopped logging consistently around Halloween and started mega-power-binge eating after Thanksgiving.... all total, I put on about 7 lbs. and a good bit of that (about half) was water weight from eating poorly, not exercising at all, and going into sodium overload by nearly triple the amount of sodium I normally would…

I haven't had anyone to mentor in a while as all of my friends I got to sign up at MFP bailed within a month or two for their B-12 'weight loss shots' and Dr. Oz raspberry ketones mess... my inbox is always open :)

I haven't had soda in over a week.... been relying on decade green tea w stevia & Real Lemon raspberry lemonade in a bottle of water

The other evening my lover, who is admittedly deep on an intellectual level (I appreciate that quality most times), was delving into some analytical comparisons of his arousal due to some very hot cosplay. However, I was more focused on a physical expression thereof and said, "SHUT UP.... i mean...can you please shut up…

I think tattoos can be sexy on others if well-done and able to be concealed if necessary. Personal preference of course, but if you're running out of room, that may be a bit much. I have dated people with over 20 and some people with just one... I have none and have no plans to get any. I like being just 100% skin with a…

I've had horrible drooly kissers... overzealous teeth bangers.... helicopter tongue fanatics... one guy who had 'stick' tongue where it was like a hard, unmoving treebranch in my mouth. I'm not sure who was the worst... though at this moment, I would have to say the guy who belched dr. pepper into my mouth while kissing…

Full time working mom here as well. I have a 45 minute commute (one way) to work from 8am-5pm and often extended hours on an event-by-event basis. I have 8 year old twin boys.

I was extremely shy and kept to my very very small circle of friends. We spent time hanging out in the senior hallway at school during lunch and would play our own homemade version of CSI to try to bust each other on forensic mistakes. I was drunk most of high school & would have rather been at school than at home. I was…

All I can comment on is my experience as an obese child. •Would it have stopped me from being obese? -- No. •Would a letter such as that have even made it to my parents? -- Doubtful, I would have been too ashamed to show them. •Would I still be obese after reading it? -- Yes, because I was never obese because of Halloween…

:heart: u!!!!!!!!!! I always have to pull my hair up into a ponytail when I eat - I can not have my hair touch my face in any way whatsoever while eating... this means I will never again have bangs I love shoes, but hate feet. I often can't look through spring fashion magazines because models' toes gross me out. When I…

I'm the same with sodium. I keep a pretty close eye on it as I even feel that America's Daily Recommended Allowance is too high. I try to get closer to the Canadian standards of 1500-2000 mg a day. What shocked me the most was how much sodium was in CELERY STICKS! I used to eat a ton of those things and never really paid…

From my lunch walks: This historic home was built in 1894 and it is restored to be just as it was at the turn of the century. It is also filled with original furnishings and art pieces and the roses & passion flowers in the landscaping smell sooooo gooooood!

It still amazes me that no matter how many days I feel fat and I tell myself that I'm not doing as much as I 'coulda' 'shoulda' do for my health and fitness goals, I take a pic and do a comparison -- that's when I am truly amazed. Here's my big ol noggin in transition from October 2010 through October 2013. What a…

Some people have trouble with sodium. I am one of those people. If my sodium levels aren't kept lower than the U.S. recommended daily allowance (which I think it way too high anyway and should be about 1500-1700mg/day), I bloat up like a balloon and pack on water weight very quickly. I feel like crud, I slack off on…
