Well...I kinda feel bad for her. It seems from her "about me" section that she did drugs and was anorexic and bulimic. It looks like to me (not a health professional or anything) that she never looked into getting help for her mindset and now it just went in a different direction (orthorexia).

Lindts intense orange. Green and blacks dark chocolate with currant and almond, Ghirardelli's dark with mint, dark with raspberry......mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm........

Oh hun! Hugs! I haven't been where you are but I can feel the pain coming from your words. I would say start simply and slow, just start with logging what your eating now. If you want to start exercising, youtube has a TON of free exercise workouts starting from just walking in pace, yoga, to weight lifting, hiit training,…

Looking back I actually felt implantation with both my girls. For my first, My boobs were very sore a few days before my period and I had never had sore boobs before like that. Its not a normal pms or pre-period symptom for me so I knew. It was interesting because we had started trying the month before and I had my period…

Magic Rises by Ilona Andrews. Its my 3rd re-read. I also just got through World War Z for the second or third time. Love that one

Hi, I am also on the east coast, have a 2.5 year old and a 15 month old. I also wake up at 5am normally and pick up the girls from daycare and get home around 5:30-6pm depending on traffic. My husband doesn't get home until 7-7:30 so I am on my own with the girls. I'm with you, I would find it hard to get up any earlier…

I lost about 50lbs or so about...erm...5 or 6 years ago now, and I maintained it for about 2 years...until I met my husband. He eats like crap and I gained about 10-15lbs back after we moved in together. Then, he lost his job 4 months later, due to the economy crap in april 2009. I got a second job to carry us and save for…

I throw some Spanish olives, tomatoes on green leaf lettuce or spinach with 1 stick of string cheese mozzarella.

7-8 hours is my best but I haven't gotten that in over a year. It is usually 5-6 hours a night, even though I go to bed at 9-10pm, my little ones usually wake me at least once and now they have colds. Then I get up at 5am for work. On the weekends, my youngest determines how late I sleep in...sometimes its 6am and…

I would tell my husband and he would say ok, have fun. Why? Because we have trust. There will always be situations that the other person can't control who your significant other is going to be around. I would be able to trust my husband in a room full of super models. Because I trust him not to cheat on me. It doesn't…

Are you shopping in the right section? There are 3 sections, juniors, misses and womens (plus) (sometimes 4 sections if they seperate out women's and plus. Juniors sections are for teens that don't have hips yet, you might have better luck shopping in misses or misses petite sections. Or try to find a store that does…

I confess: I've gained 20lbs this year since stopping breastfeeding. I've been hanging around here since January but have struggled to really get going on losing weight. But! I have gained a good bunch of my muscle strength back after a losing a ton on bed rest during my pregnancy with the little one. I'm having a harder…

My husband is feeling a little sad about this. His parents moved to florida in september and he misses them. It will be a while, maybe a year or 2, before we can afford to travel down there with our 2 kids for a visit. Right now I'm missing my father, he passed away a couple of months ago and even though he was struggling…

You can do it put your back into it, I can do it put your @ss into it!

Right now my girls are 15 months and 2.5 years old so I got time. Right now, I am just trying to get them to eat veggies. Its not too hard but my oldest sometimes refuses. I just set an example by having a lot of veggies on my plate, she does watch me and watch what I'm eating. If I eat it and say "oh this tomato is so…

This is going to sound cliche but I am joining a gym after the new year. Had money issues and baby/sleep issues so I never joined one before. Also, this time I'm joining with my mom, and my sister already goes to the gym but never uses it so hopefully she will also join up with us. All 3 of us need to lose weight but my…

Hi, I hope you are feeling better about things. It sounds like you may have some form of OCD. Did this start recently? After my sister had her first child, she got intense OCD, some of her fears were similar to yours so that is what got me thinking. She did see someone about it and talking with them helped her realize that…

Look for a road bike or a hybrid bike. You probably want something that will allow you to sit more upright and have straight handle bars. Hybrid bikes have thicker tires like comfort bikes but not as heavy as mountain bikes, they also have gears that you can change for hills and such unlike comfort bikes. Also, think…

user name: bluestarlight19 I don't know if your still taking people for your group but I am interested. I have been having a bunch of trouble staying motivated. I have about 90lbs to lose. I'm 31, working mom with a working husband, 2 young kids.

Maybe she is on this diet because she is having some food aversions. I could hardly eat meat with my first and with my second, I couldn't even look at or smell bananas or I would be sick. I also couldn't keep food down for the first 20 weeks and lost a lot of weight with each so....as long as she is eating something...and…

Well...I have asked my husband that if he has chocolate things that he wants to eat himself, he has to hide it or not let me know its there or else I'll start pilfering. I'm still in the journey, but he isn't and I do have a LOT of willpower issues around chocolate. That being said, its not a major issue and he just gets…

:) it is so so worth it. I have 2 gorgeous girls, 2 years old and 1 year old. My first slept started sleeping through the night at 10 weeks old, my second only just started sleeping through the night after she turned a year old...but she still sleeps in our bed, we are having trouble getting her into her own bed. The first…

:) it snowed for the first time this season. I always feel like a kid filled with wonder at the first snow fall :)

Yep. My sister can pop into a store and get any bra for 10-20 bucks and I have to go to lane bryant or online and if they aren't having a sale, its at least $40. Before kids, I was a 40DDD, Now a 40H/42G depending on the brand and it is almost like all bra makers stop making good bras after DDD...and they start at around…

Lol, my friends and I were pros and stealing food, some even too cutlery, plates, trays, etc. The key is to bring your backpack with you to lunch or dinner. Take a bunch of stuff onto your tray (a couple of apples, oranges, etc). Go during a super busy time, so if there are people watching, it will be hard to spot, then…

I think a lot depends on the circumstances. Being only a freshman, I would say no, she's too young. Maybe if she was a junior or senior, maybe. But...I think it depends on what the boys "criminal activity" was. That is kind of vague. Was it harassment? rape? stealing? threatening? drugs? etc. Why were the charges dropped?…

How I got fat in the first place, well...I was always bigger, taller and had a larger frame when I was younger than almost all the other girls. Something happened to me in 8th grade and I think I got depressed from it, I'm not really sure. I just mostly stayed in the house after and pushed my friends away from me. So lack…

Butternut Apple Crisp...I make it for thanksgiving 1 butternut squash, peeled and thinly sliced (recommend using something other than a knife like a mandolin or chopper) 2-3 apples, good firm baking apples (I like macoun, granny smith also gives a nice flavor) 1/4 karo syrup 2 tablespoons lemon juice (to keep apples from…
