I'm glad you posted this. I feel the same way. I am very picky, and dislike just about every vegetable there is. I know I don't eat healthy. I have tried looking for 'low calorie' foods and snacks, but I don't see anything that I like, so a diet change doesn't seem to be an option. So far my best way is to start my day by…

You can look up Runtastic apps on the google playstore for Android. There is a free app like that for walking, and also some for other activities like squats or sit-ups. (I downloaded the app just now to try before I suggested it- I really hate squats. But this thing counts down and talks to you, 'Three squats to go' and…

I've suffered with migraines from an early age. In recent years, I have found relief with triptans (imitrex, maxalt, relpax) but all are too costly and not a great solution when they need to be taken almost daily. A month ago I was put on atenolol to see if it would aid with migraine prevention. I was a bit worried about…

I think this is a good idea. We don't even have a scale at our house anymore. It stopped working and we never got around to replacing it. (Pre-teen daughter wants one. She is perfectly healthy, but freaks out when she stands on the scale at our grocery store. I am not getting a new one for this reason.) The weight is just…

Not exactly a teacher- but I am a substitute, and have two kids involved in sports after school, so not much time to deal with myself. The vending machine at school is a downfall for myself- each time the class is gone to an activity, I find myself getting a snack. Then the kids have snack time, where I often have…

I have the same issue. If I don't have breakfast, I don't feel hungry until noon or later. If I have breakfast, I'm very hungry a couple of hours later and wind up eating whatever is around. Working part time, I do fine with at work when I don't have time to stop and eat until lunch. But when I am home all day... forget…

I don't know what's in it, but I wish I liked it. Coke was the one thing I've always loved to drink, and when I tried to avoid it, I found myself drinking Mountain Dew. Not really an improvement! Coke Zero has a very unappealing taste to me, as does anything diet.

Pringles. I love them, especially the extreme buffalo ones. I try not to buy them because once I open them and reach inside, my hand becomes an obsessed claw that does not stop until it reaches the bottom of the can. My latest idea is to wait until the kids are in the car with me, and open a can, because they will eat most…

Quite the opposite. He doesn't like anything the slightest bit spicy or hot. He has taken some allergy medicine in the past, but I never paid any attention to whether or not a clear nose affects his eating. Interesting.

I am glad to see this topic. I'll keep an eye out to see what other options are posted. I have an 11 year old son who weighs 65 pounds. It bothers him that he is so small. He has just never been interested in eating. He eats the smallest amount that we will let him, and almost never wants seconds. He says eating is boring,…
