Your owner should really be controlling this situation and rushing you home to pee on your own lawn. Hold it until that happens.

My dog is always leashed when outside of my fenced in yard. But if they happen to veer a little to the left and pee on your lawn instead of the city sidewalk, Im not going to get bent out of shape about it. Also in response to the gentleman who thinks we can control where our dogs pee, yes, I walk my dogs in public areas…

Wow, remind me never to walk my dogs in these neighborhoods! People not cleaning up poop, something I completely understand being upset about. I would never leave my dog's poop, I ALWAYS clean it up. But all this fuss over pee? Really? Its not like they are trained to go in a toilet. Also, they are animals, they certainly…

How do you know, by looking at an overweight child, that they are that way because, as you state "parents stuffing more and more food down their throat"? There are so many factors at play, that many other posters have already listed. Assuming a child is fat because of your reasons, is the same as assuming you know why an…

You're probably right about this. However, that doesnt make it OK. Maybe its just me, but I get really tired of people making fun of those who are overweight. Especially when its skinny people who didnt have to work for it. People who dont struggle with their weight have no idea whats involved. Its not simply just about…

Maybe you're setting your expectations too high. But first let me tell you, I feel like you do pretty often. It comes in waves. But, that whole thing about setting small achievable goals actually helps. I cant say its a cure all to those days when you'd rather die than go workout, but it does help reduce the number of days…

For me, I wouldnt work somewhere that would limit exposure of tattoos, however that doesnt mean I dont understand why some environments do. Personally, I am a creative individual that wouldnt fit in a "typical" corporate environment. I dont consider this to be limiting my opportunities. What I do consider limiting is…

My initial gut reaction to reading what you wrote OP, is that it sounds abusive. Emotionally at least. Abuse is a strong word, so I tread on that lightly because only you know what goes on behind closed doors. But he did call you a really awful name in front of other people (his friends), so Im guessing his behavior isnt…

Dont let guilt weigh you down, but DO take time to reflect on what caused you to go off track. This way, when you're faced with that dilemma again you'll know you're stronger, and can get through it. One day, one meal, one temptation at a time. You're back, on track, smarter and stronger than you were before. Keep moving…

Last weekend I actually made Thanksgiving dinner for my boyfriend and I. I took the left overs and portioned them out into what he could eat (which is waaay more than me) and then I took my portion and made small plates of it and packaged them in the fridge that way. Of course, I did the cooking so I tried new healthier…

I just finished the program last week. I loved it, but I did it with a partner. I've tried it several times on my own, and failed. Once I had a dedicated partner, I was able to do it. Im running my first 5k race on December 3rd. As for weightloss, well, assuming you are eating within your calories, yeah, it does work. When…

Thanks everyone!! I love that I finally got to post about an accomplishment! YAY! Thanks soo soo much for the support! Who cares if you arent 5k ready, what an AWESOME cause!! Good for you!! Rock it out!!
-
That makes so much sense! Thanks for posting!
-
You know that saying, the one about how stupid is repeating the same actions and expecting different results....that applies to your situation. Not to sound cruel or mean but you are binge drinking when you end up with these food cravings right? Now, lets look at the first part of that sentence. BINGE. Binge drinking,…

LOL! You floosie. Love it!

Bump! Sounds delicious! Cant wait to try it! TFS!
-
Gaaaah. How obnoxious! Stupid lame neighbor girls! :tongue: When my bf and I first started dating, his "good friend" apparently didnt think I measured up to his ex. So at a party, this friend of his kept referring to me as Amber (the ex). He would try to get my attention by calling me Amber and would bring up stories about…
-
Girl I feel you. I dont let it bother me too much if Im actually asking someone for their opinion, and they share information that I know to be incorrect, or something that doesnt work for me. However, its been my experience, that when people find out Im trying to change my eating habits, they ASSUME its OK to tell me how…
-
Bump! I just happen to have all of the ingredients at home right now!!
-
LOL right?! You should start this as a new topic thread. I'd love the read the controversy you'll start! :tongue:

Unfortunately, the reality is that there is a lot of crap information out there about food. Im of the opinion that you should try to eat a well rounded diet with a wide variety of foods from each food group. If you like eggs, eat the egg. Eat the whole damn egg. You're tracking your food right? So, if its not "trigger…
-
Brilliant advice!
-
Exactly!! So you slipped up, the point is that you realized you werent making a smart decision and then you made one by throwing the rest of it out. Dont beat yourself up for a mistake. Recognize the progress you just made!! You said you have been on MFP for about 30 days now....I bet 31 days ago you would have eaten that…
-
Agreed. Im sure this isnt every day, but it also looks like you're eating processed foods and taking supplements. Try eating more whole foods versus processed. It looks like you had almost no veggies or fruit either. I cant really speak about supplements, some people swear by them, some dont. I dont take them, but thats my…

I think everybody struggles with this! One thing, you gotta log your food though. You have no idea how many calories you are taking in, and once you get a cold hard look at how many calories are in that friend appetizer you just had, you might think twice about getting it. If I know Im going out with the girls, I make sure…

My bf was like that too. He isnt overweight, but he never wants to do anything but sit in front of the tv and eat. He can eat whatever he wants, poop, and be the same weight! :laugh: However, after a few weeks of me changing what I ate, and working out, he suddenly noticed. Then I noticed that he stopped asking me to go to…

To the ladies I just quoted, OP, and anyone else curious, I recommend you check out this book: http://www.amazon.com/End-Overeating-Insatiable-American-Appetite/dp/1605297852 I received this book, and Im about 3/4 of the way through it. It talks in depth about what the chain restaurant industry does to our food. Which…

I take it you arent a dog owner then.... Yes, dogs should be on leashes (unless in designated off leash areas). Yes, dog owners should try to keep them off people's lawns when they need to go, but keep in mind, they are animals and sometimes *kitten* happens (pun intended). Its NEVER ok to leave the dog poo on someone's…
