You might want to read his other posts, not only in this thread but in many others, before passing judgement and getting on your all caps pedestal . These would be the posts where he talks about when he was fat and his wife telling him she didn't want to have sex with him anymore because of his weight.

Agreed, it is not an unfair assessment. What is unfair though is to jump to far off conclusions, call the guy a jerk, and suggest she dump him. Especially when OP has said in later posts this is the way she feels, not the way he feels and that he has told her that he loves her no matter what. We should want, no expect our…

So let me get this straight. You, a stranger on a forum, telling her she has self-esteem issues and her boyfriend is a jerk is "tough love" but her boyfriend (who knows her intimately and told her he loved her the way she is) answering a direct question about her weight and giving her an honest answer is the one in the…

It all depends on context. If out of the blue they say "you are a fat cow and disgusting" then they are an *kitten*. If you are talking to them telling them how you feel and that you want to do something about it, then ask them to tell you honestly how they feel then yes, they should say "yes you have gotten heavier, yes…

I disagree completely. My husband has always told me he loves me no matter what I weigh and I know he does love me unconditionally. I used to weigh 240, am down to 193 and still have a ways to go. Weighing that much made me feel gross and feel like the fat lady at the circus that some how was married to the tall, thin good…

USA - Washington state, not D.C.

This might be helpful. Hopefully the graphic is not too big. Looks like it is getting cut down on the side. Here is the link to the original: http://nutritiouslife12.files.wordpress.com/2011/01/untitled-2.jpg

That reminds me of two women who were in a class I used to take at my former gym. They came up to me after class once and said "could you please stay in the back row during class. You block to much of the mirror and none of us want to look at you". I quit going to that gym. The one I am at now is so much nicer, the people…

Oooh, you are running in the WDW Marathon. I am jealous! That is one of my long term goals. Right now I am just trying to work myself up to being able to do the 5k at Epcot this fall. Don't let that dipstick clerk at the store bother you. Being able to actually complete a marathon is awesome - who give a rip how long it…

A few years ago I was flying to Florida from California. Flight one to Dallas was uneventful. The flight from Dallas to Orlando started off bad but ended up great. I was one of the first to board and was already in my window seat when a man who was in the middle seat came to the row, looked me up and down and then walked…

You all are nicer than me. I make dinner and they know not to complain at me because the answer will be... "don't like it, feel free to starve". Sure, I got complaints at first like "If we eat what you eat we are going to lose weight". I told them that was silly, that we were all going to be eating healthier and no one was…

That is awesome! I am just getting started with running so I love hearing about people reaching these personal goals. Well done!

I run a small software company and have for the past (almost) 9 years. Love my job and the people I work with, but the hours are long and it can be somewhat stressful. The stress and how sedentary the job is how I put on so much weight over the years. The same has been said by a few of my employees when we have casually…

As the daughter of a mortician I don't find it strange or morbid at all (go figure) and know exactly the kind of reaction you probably get. Some of the most funny, interesting and quirky people I have met were involved in the funeral business.

I just entered it all and decided it was better to know where I went overboard so next holiday I could try and not make the same mistake. That said I need to avoid deviled eggs, monkey bread and pie next year.

Oh and my mom got me a standing speed bag. My husband wanted to get me a punching bag but the one I wanted was out of stock. Hoping it might come in for Valentines Day.

Dumbell alarm clock. It won't turn off until you do 30 curls. I <3 my MIL for getting it off my wish list.

I am very adept at doing this lately. I think it is because I am being lazy with my wardrobe & planning. Things aren't fitting right and (in my mind) I have no lost enough weight to justify buying new clothes.

Fabulous job! Congrats to you!

Family comes to our house Christmas Eve for dinner, spends the night and then stays for all of Christmas Day. Since three of us are eating healthier we are trying to put together a menu that everyone will enjoy, but that won't make the three of us feel like fat-laden carb monsters. We are sneaking in fat free items where…

How awesome are you! You look fabulous girl!

Please feel free to add me if you would like.

You said "except the fact that they're passing a bill to censor any negative comments about said government. freedom of speech ftw." SOPA is not a bill " to censor any negative comments about said government". SOPA stands for Stop Online Piracy Act. You need to educate yourself about what SOPA truly is (and it is bad)…

I made these yesterday and really enjoyed them. Only changes I made was I substituted applesauce for the oil and did not use raisins. This gave my 24 small cookies. Using the MFP recipe function it came to 87 calories for 2 cookies per serving. I liked the idea someone had of adding cinnamon and may try it next time. What…

I have a real hard time with this too. I have never been much of a drinker. When I used to drink soda (years ago) a single can could last me an entire day. What I do now is make myself drink an entire glass with my meals - that is 3 cups down. Beyond that I try and keep water by me at all times. If I am hungry, or think I…

Oooh, I needed to buy bananas anyways. I know what I will be making next!

Quick snack for me when I have the munchies is raw radishes. If you cut the tops & bottoms off and keep them refrigerated in a tupperware with water they will not be so bitter. (Bitter taste is the reason I usually hear from people who dislike radishes). A cup of radishes is 25 calories and will fill you up for a bit. If…

Ok, got my first day in and, as expected, it kicked my butt. After watching the workout ahead of time I knew I would do ok on abs until the end, fine on strength but have a hard time with the cardio. As predicted that is what happened. I am disappointed that my endurance is so cruddy. Hopefully after a month of this it…

Excellent job! The toning in your waist and arms is very apparent!
