  • My sugar monster gets the better of me sometimes. I will buy a slice of cake at the store, or bake some cookies, knowing that I'll eat a few bites, feel sick, and throw it all away. I only do this when I'm alone, so its probably the combination of sugar rush and shame that makes me feel sick. It's also a waste of food and…
  • Congrats! I bet you feel amazing, you look great!
  • I agree with everyone else, the servers are just being nice to a good customer. I wouldn't say a word to them that is not appreciative. You seem to be handling it OK, by giving it away, or saving it for later, etc. Or, why not take a co-worker with you to lunch, so you have someone to share your extra food with? Everyone…
  • If medication was the cause of your weight gain, you may have other issues going on with your body chemistry that could prevent weight loss. You can eat right and work out all you want with no results if you don't find the root cause and treat that first. Here is what I would do in your situation: 1. Make an appointment…
  • I also took up hiking about 6 years ago when I got my dog. He is a 90lb lab, and I almost feel guilty if I take time to exercise without him. Fortunately, I live near tons of great hiking (Nashville area). Even a walk in my neighborhood has some good, challenging hills.
  • I also have PCOS, and I am not peddling this product, but sharing that it works for me. www.isagenix.com.
  • I can completely relate! It does cost a lot of money to re-vamp your pantry with healthy staples, like quinoa, brown rice, coconut oil, nutritional yeast, etc. But once you've spent that initial outlay, you'll just be replenishing as you use things, so it does get better! :) I also cook for one, and used to spend a lot of…
  • Stand up straight, bend your knees and put your hands by your feet ("bug" position), jump back in to a plank, do a push up, jump your feet back up to your hands(bug), jump from "bug" straight up and reach to the ceiling, back down to "bug". repeat. So this is what I say in my head to get through one 8 count: bug, plank,…
  • If you're not hungry for food, add a protein shake to your diet for a week or so. That should get your closer to your calorie goal. Monitor your weight to see if that helps you lose. Keep the shake low fat and low sugar.. high protein. I like hemp protein with 30 cal Silk Almond milk and throw in a banana and ice for…
  • Whoaaaaaa.. ok first of all, "their" is possessive. "They're" is a contraction for 'they are'. And then.. quit picking up *****y chicks at the mall! The girls you are describing make up maybe 5% of single women. There certainly are "princesses" out there who are just interested in a man to spoil them, but thats because…
  • How many calories low are you?
  • I'm vegan at home. Its hard to travel for work and avoid foods cooked with butter, and if they screw up and put cheese on my salad, I'm not going to freak out and send it back. I can honestly say I've cut WAY back on dairy, and thats good enough for me for now. :)
