Get out of the house contract in any way possible, cut your losses, DON'T GET PREGNANT! If it's this bad now, it's only gonna get worse. If you settle for less than you deserve you'll get less than you settle for. Stop giving yourself away. In your next relationship have more respect for yourself. You know what I mean.…

I'm a fat person, and I love encouragement. The honks when I'm riding my bike or the cheers when I'm trying to run are awesome. The piggy sounds suck, but I have to remind myself that people's actions reflect on them, not me. So when someone cheers me on it's because they are an encouraging spirit, and when they don't,…

I can totally relate! You are not the only one. Friend request on the way.

Wow great article! (Page 41 for anyone else looking). What a wonderful running club you have, too; I enjoyed looking through the newsletter and seeing the great support for local runners in your community. Thank you for sharing the link!

That's a great idea! Thank you for the reminder; sometimes remembering that we're not in this alone is wonderful, and I'm going to start doing this too. Don't let the haters get you down; they'll make anything decisive if they don't agree with you, or worse, they'll make fun of you. Best wishes in your journey!

How about... "You looked great before, and you look even better now!" That's how I would have taken it.

I second this. Personally, tucked = hot.

Great job! You are an inspiration!

I've never had this, but I'm VERY overweight. Here's my advice: Don't say anything to anyone about your weight loss goals. It makes you seem like you're fishing for those "Oh, you're not fat!" comments. Just... don't say anything, and they won't respond in a way that you think is negative.

I hope everything goes well for you. I just want to remind you about adoption. So many wonderful children need wonderful parents like you! Please consider adoption as an option for your family.

I haven't defeated it, but I do understand. Either the immediate pleasure of what I'm eating is more important than the weight loss or I'm afraid of losing weight... I haven't quite narrowed it down yet.

Stop Hating. Goodness gracious leave people alone.

Ha ha! I second this!

Okay, first let's start here. If your husband "just" left you, as in this was fairly recently, then I respectfully suggest you take some time to be "just you" for a while. You don't need the stress of another relationship or the expectations and desires of another man, no matter if you two pray together or not. I would…

As far as in my home, my body belongs to my husband and his body belongs to me. If I wanted to keep the attitude that his opinion didn't matter then I wouldn't have gotten married. Marriage is a different situation than just having a boyfriend/girlfriend; it's total commitment both ways. So yeah, his opinion is the only…

STOP IT! I don't normally say things this strongly. This person/friend should not be in your life. Not if you want to remain married to your husband. Stop the dinners Stop the texting Stop running with him Stop spending time with him STOP

Strava doesn't contribute to this any more than guns cause crazy b*stards to kill people or food forces anyone to get fat. That being said...it's a bit like alcohol. It enhances existing character defects. I don't use it often because I don't exercise as much as I should, but I already decided that I'd never purposely…

If you can't shower at work you can always bring wipes (diaper wipes, unscented) with you or maybe keep them at work? Some people store a supply of deodorant, etc. at work for this reason. Another idea is to drive halfway and park, then ride a short morning ride and half the way back home. As you get stronger up those…

Doesn't want to get married or have any more kids? Not wrong, and definitely don't get pregnant again with this person! Separate, take care of yourself and your child, and move on with life. Once you're married I believe you should do everything you can to repair damaged relationships, but without that commitment there is…

I think that the best thing you can get from a short term water fast is the mental and spiritual benefits of it. You're overcoming a desire that has a strong hold on you; the desire to eat to fill the emptiness inside. The emptiness can be emotional or spiritual, but by fasting you can focus on better ways to fill that…

I am so humbled! All the different ages and sizes of the runners are amazing! I'm currently reading "Marathoning for Mortals" right now, and it is a wonderful book for anyone at any stage of their training to read through. I highly recommend it. Thank you for sharing these photos!

Next time video them being rude. Put it on Facebook; someone will know them. Eventually they'll get the ridicule they deserve or at least you'll have proof so that you can take them to court. And carry pepper spray so that if they get in your face you can spray them. Ha! Best wishes and hugs to you; you are not what they…

Hopefully her doctor will give her a wake up call about how dangerous her refusal to do what she is supposed to is. I know that she had to probably go on a restrictive diet for a month before her surgery. My best friend had the surgery too, and though I was worried I also know that she thought about it for a long time and…

I always envied black girls because their community seemed to support them no matter what their size. As a half-Asian I have a community that sees even the 'average' sizes of 12-14 as horribly fat, and I was always horribly fat+. I guess this is really a cultural difference we have. If you were Asian the size 6 might even…

Wow! I'm really impressed! You did great!

Don't worry about getting a girl. Seriously. You need to concentrate on YOU right now. Forget the whole 'virgin' stuff. First, if you're feeling self-destructive/suicidal get help! Call a hotline, see your spiritual leader, see a doctor about anti-depressives if you think you might need them. They're okay to use; think of…

Your scale must be broken. Use a doctor's scale if you want accuracy; even then... you'd have to be eating a lot more than you calculated to have gained that much since August. Take measurements of your body. A piece of clothing is not an indicator. Take pictures of yourself. Don't go back to the vlcd unless your doctor…

Holy *kitten*! You got HOT! LOL! You've done great! Congratulations!

It's about figuring out what is more important to you. If it's all about YOU then the family suffers. For some people who don't care about their family, this is okay. If it's all about the family then you find a compromise that makes everyone happy. There is such a thing, and there doesn't have to be hurt feelings from…
