I'm there too, in a way. A "friend" (not so much of one anymore) would always say things like, "I wish we could still gorge ourselves on bad food, you're no fun anymore" and kept telling me I'd "changed" because I was exercising and eating right and she wasn't interested in that stuff, so I obviously wasn't interested in…

A diabetic woman once told me that she can't eat frosting anymore but she can still eat cake because "all of the sugars cook out in the baking process." :huh:

I totally agree. She was trying to mask it as "inspiring," but it was definitely a dig. I get so tired of people telling me I'm not trying hard enough or I'm making excuses or anything like that. You're right, it IS cruel. No thanks, please, I just spoke up because it was necessary. And the number of people who…

I'm commenting again because I think this needs to stay in the recent posts for a while. It's something people should see.

Thanks so much for posting this, Jezebel. After yesterday's post (which, apparently, was all my fault because I was the one who "misunderstood" first), I was just irate. I appreciate you saying this, motivating those of us with disabilities and acknowledging that we are people just like everyone else. I wrote a blog post…

Taking on the roles of ill/caretaker in a marriage can definitely take its toll. It's understandable that you would get frustrated with him and maybe even resent him sometimes. Maybe hiring someone to help with the business is a good idea, but that won't help your marriage. Is he seeing doctors? If not, take him. Help him…

From everyone (friends and husband, at least): mreechan (the 'r' is generally silent, or mostly so) or Eechie From my husband: Love Ace I call my husband: Slick Love Mr. Crazygonuts Yep, we're romantics.

I hate that women are so RAWR FEMINIST about most things, but this is one of those where they are still pretty backwards. The number of women who say they wouldn't go on a second date with a guy who didn't pay on the first astounds me. I DO believe that the person who asks should pay. HOWEVER, I asked my husband on our…

I had a bad day yesterday. I just wasn't feeling it AT ALL. I didn't want to exercise, I just didn't care. I was overwhelmed. So I took a day off and did what I wanted without worrying about it. No, I didn't log my bad Chinese food or my Fuddrucker's burger. I didn't care. I didn't feel guilty eating those things, and I…

I get called "Mary" instead of "Marie" ALL OF THE TIME. I don't get it. I have NEVER met someone named Mary who spelled it like Marie. It's not like it's a super weird name. Nearly every girl around my age has it as a middle name. Why is it so hard for people to grasp? I don't actually mind Maria, which I get a lot. It…

First name: 594,173 Last name: 17,438 First and Last: 33 Although I bet that the number of people who have my first name as a middle name is WAY higher. Wish I could look that up.

Eye of the Tiger (for real, it's just so ridiculous that I love it) Anything heavy. I like angry metal. I feel like I push myself harder when I channel my anger into workouts, so angry songs help a lot. "Orchids" by Stonesour is one of my favorites. Really, just anything I can use to scream at people (in my head, of…

I have bipolar disorder, which is slightly different from depression, but here's how I feel about pills: Take them. There's no shame in it. There's no reason you shouldn't "depend" on them. If you needed heart medicine, would you stop taking it if there was still a problem? Would you take the cast off a broken leg too…

:love: You're awesome.

Psst... http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/519974-i-hate-it-when-really-skinny-girls-complain-being-fat I think the point the OP is trying to make here is the age-old "skinny hate" thing. It's okay to rip on skinny people, but not fat people.

...Pretty sure she's just making a point about the thread where the girl was complaining that her skinny friends complain that they are fat and she thinks it's a dig at her because she's bigger than they are.

Why were you so far under your net calories? You're supposed to NET 1500 calories, not just eat them.

This is the only forum of which I have been a member where "bump" means this. Everywhere else, it means "bring up my post," which means that it goes to the top of the recent posts so more people can see it/respond without having to dig through other threads.

My diary is open to my friends, but, honestly, I don't have it for other people to look at. I'm not using it as motivation. I'm using it to track my calories, to tell me where I am for the day and how many calories I have left. That's it. If my friends see it and want to make a comment, that's fine, but that's not what I…

Everything.

Sure, that may help...but I wouldn't want to be the girl you were using to get over your ex.

We did. She made him go to Zumba. :laugh:

Haha, yes, definitely snow. Even if I was a believer, I'd say snow. When I took the picture the wind was blowing hard and blowing snow off the roof of the house and shed (which aren't really visible in the picture). It just happened to look cool in still-frame. :smile:

I'm convinced it's the worst sound in the world. If I didn't like him so much I'd punch a little harder. :laughing:

My husband doesn't snore, but he does grind his teeth. I punch him in the back. Seriously. Not HARD (it's more of a prod, I guess), but enough to shut him up. I HATE the teeth grinding with a passion. I do not miss it when he's gone. I have to say, though, when he goes out of town for business, I pull out the sofa bed and…

It's all about what you want! I don't usually log cooking because I don't do much moving around, but sometimes I log cleaning. If I'm deep cleaning a room, definitely. If I clean the rat cage, certainly, because that's a lot of ups and downs and moving around. I know a lot of people on the site consider this "cheating,"…

Not a fan of a pinch, but I like a light pat from my hubby sometimes. Anyone that isn't him or me (or a doctor, if the situation arises) that touches my butt is going to get a face full of fist.

More from me! Here are some pets from my childhood. Monsieur Boots: Pudding: Gizmo (isn't the snow in this pic awesome?):

I love that you're fostering a squirrel! My great-grandmother used to rehab a lot of wild animals. She had a number of different birds (including an owl with a broken wing), squirrels, rabbits...whatever she or I found that was in need of care.
