I have tried the birthday cake flavor so far & have PB choc sitting in my freezer. The birthday cake was SO sweet I couldn't eat it straight, but it was really great as a milkshake.

Processed meats do cause up the risk of cancer. That was the one truth in the movie.

I have never used pics of myself on here, and (therefore, I believe) never receive thirsty or creepy PMs.

Yes. I go to therapy weekly to deal with myself. There is where I've learned mindfulness through dialectical behavioral therapy. I've figured out when I am vulnerable to binge eating (when I'm very hungry with no substantial snacks to grab, when I am in emotional distress). I've learned it is an incorrect way to…

If I have a craving, I will ask myself if I am actually hungry. This means asking myself how I am feeling (if I am vulnerable to overeating) and how long it's been since I last ate. If I am, then it is time to eat a whole meal, not just a snack, and get sated. By then the craving is usually gone. If I am not hungry, then I…

I never thought I'd wake up early to work out, but I just recently started the habit of getting at least an hour swim in before work. It's super refreshing, it motivates me for the day, and it has set a routine into place for me. There is usually no one else around at 6:15am, which is super nice for my social anxiety. If I…

Sounds kinda like okonomiyaki.

Keep "fit into size 10s" as your goal. You don't need a specific number in mind, and it might be better not to. But otherwise go by a BMI chart/calculator: https://www.nhlbi.nih.gov/health/educational/lose_wt/BMI/bmicalc.htm

Personally, it's real. It's not a physiological addiction but psychological. You can be called psychologically addicted to anything if it impedes your life. Heroin does not compare because it is a physiological addiction. Cocaine would be a better analogy. http://www.narconon.org/drug-information/is-cocaine-addictive.html…

"Observer" is such a nice word for eavesdropping. Not your conversation, not your business.

Sounds like someone works for Braggs...

I've started swallowing steel wool.

Thanks, very helpful! I do not think this is the case. The slices don't look any different from previous times I've had this bread. I think it was just older bread that needed to leave the stores quickly.

I did buy it from Dollar Tree since it was a few days from its "best by" date, and now it's a few days past. Hmm.

Yeah, I'm really questioning why there is such a giant discrepancy. It's Arnold brand bread, if anyone else has an opinion on this. :D

Oh, thanks! I've been fretting about that so much ahahaha.

It's just one. It's "country style" or whatever, so wider than a standard sandwich loaf.

I read that moving it while it's on can mess up the insides. It's a handheld scale, so I have once or twice accidentally turned it on while transferring it from where it resides to where I wanted it to sit. That's the only reason I'd think it's off-kilter.

Chew gum. You won't be satisfied without the act of chewing.

I had an apple with PB last night. I expected to want more but it really satiated me.

Veganism is not a diet. It's an ethical stance.

No. There are plenty of thriving vegan children.

I'm vegan! For the animals. Though my diary isn't open. Anyone is welcome to add me.

Vodka tonic and I've acquired the taste for beer finally.

Congratulations! I came to lol at your graphic. I like yelling, "What's in the box?!" at boxes.

Please don't call it veganism if you are still using leather and other animal products. You are on a plant-based diet. Congrats on your progress.

Hahahahahahaa "clinical definition" Do you use Urban Dictionary as your DSM-V?

Man people around here are ageist.

Oldest man I dated was 45, but I'm a weird outlier and love an older man. I'd go older. I wouldn't want to date someone younger than my own age really (26), but it depends on the person... That would be a great exception though.

Congratulations! I have also been fat since childhood and have been wondering about others' success.
