do you think it is possible to ever get over the feeling of panic. When I swim I am thrashing and when I try to turn to get a breath I just cannot do it. linda

There are only 16 cal in a spoon of sugar. I used artifical sweetners for many years off and on. I read that they caused sugar cravings along with other things. So for me over a year ago I quit eating meat and artificial sweetners. I have one cup of coffee in the morning with one spoon of sugar. That is not what made me…

Here is my thoughts, I have been married for 33 years to a man I love and who loves me back. If a person could break up with you over weight, that person is not the one you are looking for as a lifetime partner. Marriage is hard work. You do not stay the same people you are at the beginning. You age, sickness comes and…

I have tried to learn to swim so many times. I can do the strokes, but cannot breath. You should be so proud of yourself for just learning to swim.

My daughter and her husband and 3 girls (son eats meat occasionaly) are also vegetarians. I use Wholefoods recipes a lot and allrecipes. I also just make up many of my…

Me and my husband are training to do a long bike trip in one year. We are going to do the trip from Piggsbugh, PA to DC. You bike to DC and then take a train back. It is about 230 miles each way. We have just started biking longer distances as many times a week as we can fit in. Our trip will be on rails to trails so we…

You need to make your food diary public so people can see what you are eating.

Went for a bike ride with DD#2. She was afraid to go with me because I can ride so much longer than she can hahah. We went 13 miles so it was a nice ride. Just fun to be together. 4 weeks from today she will be on her way to Maine for her honeymoon. I am so glad I had girls. I think it is easier to be MIL to boys. It just…

Praying for Kathy. My younger sister loved my mother so and it was so hard on her when my mother died. It seems like a huge piece of you is missing when your mother dies. It is hard to have to make that decision. When my mother was in hospital and a decision had to be made the doctors took me aside because the rest of my…

Just want to thank all of you for your kind and supportive posts and messages. I, like so many others, am grateful for a place like this where I find friendship and support. It has been quite awhile since I have battled all these thoughts from the past. I have struggled with severe depression since I was 14. In the last 10…

Mimi, here is how I roast my veggies: I make a combination of extra virgin oil, balsamic vinegar and garlic. I put a little in a bowl then add my veggies and toss until coated. I put them on a single layer on a cookie sheet covered with parchment paper or alum. foil and put in 325 degrees for 20-30 mins. I turn them once…

Before I begin I want to apologize for complaining, but I just want to put my thoughts down so I can let them go. I do not understand why I always must sabotage myself. I am my own worst enemy. I am so trying to understand this about myself, so I can stop. The moment my life starts to get stressful and I have no time to…

Congrats/ Eli is one of my all time favorite boy's names. He is beautiful. Nothing better in the world than sitting and rocking a new baby. I oftern thought if the brought people from the heart floor to the nursery you would see BP falling.

Mani, Listen and re-read these posts if you must. You have set a goal that you will not reach. If you did, you would be too ill to go back to school. Yes, you should lose weight. Yes, you can lose weight. This site will help you if you work the site. You must log every thing you eat. You must exercise 5 to 6 days a week.…

I agree. Also, every morning I eat one egg. It gives me lots of protein and I stay full for hours. Sometimes I just eat a T of peanut butter. I like Smuckers simply peanut butter. I make my own trail mix with nuts, seeds and dry fruit. It give me 7g proteim and only 180 for 1/4 cup serving. linda
