Cognito! :tongue:

Add singer to my list. That would be awesome.

Scwarzenegger's arm? I don't know if I spelled that correctly.

Remember, it takes 21 days for something to become a habit. Good luck to you!

Wears pretty jewelry.

haha! That was my thought also when I read that! *** edited for grammar.

You hit the jackpot if you can wear scrubs and your husband thinks it's sexy. Have you ever worn those? Comfy!

Hehehe eeeeeew.

Homicide detective or silver-smith.

That bro probably lifts.

I had a crazy friend who was the purchaser of one of these. She was so proud of herself! Then I called the guy and told him, for which he was incredibly grateful. Anywho... long story short, I ended up having to get a restraining order on that friend after all was said and done.

Maybe our definitions of "excuse" are different.

Well, see my reason above your post. Not saying it's a good reason, but it's a reason.

I used to work with disabled adults. I'm not going to tell you what you NEED to do, because only you can know that. But I can say that it sounds like you should look into new living arrangements. Even on disability, you can live alone. Get yourself a case worker who can check in on you. You can get food, room, and board…

I love this thread. And shout-out to all my fellow 911 dispatchers in the house! These feel-good stories are so refreshing!

911 dispatcher here, so I *help* saves lives all the time I guess. But this one time, I was visiting my friend in Chicago, and we went to the mall with the Maceys on Michigan Ave. As we were walking out, there was this man lying face down on the floor with his arms and legs spread out. I watched about a dozen people step…

After losing 60lbs initially, I gained 24 back. Lots of factors went into that. One was I convinced myself that my metabolism was faster. Another was that my gym blew up (literally. I was working in the 911 dispatch center when it happened. We were over a mile away and our building shook like a truck hit it.) Instead of…

Just wear a tshirt that says "I may be fat, but I can lose weight. You'll always be ugly." On a serious note, I used to be obese, and I felt the same way. Now that I'm not, whenever I see larger person running or working out, I always think, "you go girl!" (or guy.)

I bought a Hamilton Beach single-serving blender at Target for less than $20. It's lasted 4 years now and I use it at least every other day. I understand being in a tough financial spot, and $20 IS a lot to someone going through it, but it's worth the investment.

I am awful at working out because of the night shift. It's really an unnatural time to be awake and working. Even if I get 8 hours of sleep, I don't feel like doing ANYTHING during the day. :sick:

This is a good idea! Let's add peanut butter and healthy oils to those shakes also. Canola oil is my personal favorite oil.

I'm no professional, but if I were in the situation, I'd set an alarm to remind me to eat, even when I'm not hungry. Eat eat eat. Make it as tasty as possible so it's not such a chore. And take vitamins. They're not as good as what you'll get from food, but they're better than nothing if you're so low on calories. I've…

He broke down your self-esteem in order to have complete control over you. He considered it an ideal situation that he would be able to do WHATEVER he wanted and know that he would still have you around, because he convinced you that you couldn't do any better. I'm so happy you made it out of this. Yes, it feels like you…

I put up with an abuser for 2 years. It doesn't make any sense, does it? You can be the outsider looking in at OTHER people's relationships and give the best advice, yet you always feel like yours is "different." I'm glad you got out. Take some you-time and do whatever the hell you want. My guy wanted me to be fat to…

Wow. That's a lot to deal with at one time. It's very impressive that you've been able to turn it around.

My college job was at a gas station on 3rd shift. I worked 12 hour nights, and we weren't allowed to sit down. I went straight from that job to a sit-down job as a 911 dispatcher. The weight PILED on! I had always eaten kind of crappy food, but I guess all the standing and walking around kept the weight somewhat in check.…

Thank you. I am FINALLY getting around to making this today. CanNOT wait for a PB&J!

This is a good list. Also, my husband and I went to Ihop a few months ago while they had a bunch of new seasonal selections. We asked the waiter what he recommended, and his answer was, "I don't know. I don't eat this food. I hate this food." Um... DON'T do that.

US crafter and nerd here. Got to go to my first Comic Con on my birthday in August! I also have a Facebook page for my jewelry: Mrs. 4A Designs. Would love to check out other people's crafts!

DN... the short-haired girl from the movie The Faculty. Gosh, my memory is awful tonight!
