I have very similar issues. I struggle to get into the necessary mindset of eating healthy and being more active. I have 3 kids that all have activities, a full time job, and I am exhausted. I also have a lot of things happening personally that cause emotions and stress which in turn cause me to eat like crap because I am…

Feel free to add me. I can understand what it is like playing the yo-yo game. I get so frustrated and depressed knowing that I will have to fight this battle until the day I die. It's not about just losing the weight, but being able to maintain the loss which can be so difficult.

Currently I have a "friend" who logs weight every single day and it is usually a loss. However, after reading her diary, she literally eats garbage every day (cookies, cakes, chips, etc.) and only about 15-20 grams of protein. I can see why she is losing weight, but she seems content with what she is putting in her body. I…

I love Bones, so I bet I would really enjoy those books. I have heard Patricia is excellent.

Shemar Moore.... So HOT!

Visit all 50 states ( I have about 16 left to go) Travel to Australia and Europe Build my dream home Get my degree

A girl I went to school with was named Brickley and I really LOVE it. She was the cutest, nicest girl who was also very athletic. It just fit her so well! My hubs didn't go for it though because his accent made it difficult to pronounce. Same reason Bridger was not an option for a boy. UGH

Friends is, was, and always will be my favorite sitcom although I am enjoying the Goldbergs lately. Favorite shows are Criminal Minds, Bones, Blacklist, and several that are on either Hallmark Channel or Lifetime... I am a girl afterall.

When I get the ones in the mail that have the prepaid envelope. I write in huge letters in red ink that I am not interested and mail it back. They have to pay for the postage and I get my message across.

Currently the Terry's Chocolate orange is my choice. It is from the devil I am certain!

Food all together is my addiction. Depending on the day, it could be something sweet like lemon oreos or salty like kettle chips. I like food way too much!

I'm sorry, but I see nothing in the OP's description that indicates her mother is toxic and unhealthy. Looks like pretty common mother-daughter stuff. I'm not saying the issue is trivial - not at all - but f you can't deal with conflicts like this in a healthy way, you're not going to be to make any relationship survive.…

[/quote] And just accept that it's an ongoing thing, and it's going to be several conversations before she really gets it in her head. [/quote] NOBODY should ever have to accept abuse as an ongoing thing, EVER!!!! Would you tell someone that is being abused by their spouse to just accept it because they are family? No way!…

My advice... remind her the old saying "If you can't say anything nice, don't say anything at all!" Let her know that if she cannot be a positive influence and supportive, then she needs to distanced. Make it known to her that you want a healthy relationship with her and that her fat shaming you or buying you clothes that…

That feeling of helplessness sometimes when I look in the mirror. Hard to change my own perception.

Patch Adams, Hook, anything animated that he voiced. He was a genius! RIP

No bueno! LOL

It's in Idaho. She converted her barn into a kennel. It's very cool and a lot of hard work and very expensive. She loves those dogs though and they sure love her and all those who help.

I have unfriended someone just because they were too much drama. I hate drama, don't need it!

I must have missed that one as well.... LOL

Star Wars (all 3 of the original ones), Dirty Dancing, most Disney classics, Ever After, Christmas Vacation, A Christmas Story (watch it every year), Untamed Heart, The first 3 Indiana Jones movies, ET I know there are lots more....

"Love and laughter will get me through anything!"

This.... I am not greedy, just indecisive! hahaha

Good luck! I hope you and the other people can find that poor dog and save her. Chances are, that guy is using her to fight her. My Aunt runs a dog rescue and she has had 2 pit mixes since she opened it because every time she does a background search on someone that wants them, she finds out they want them for fighting.…

Girls for sure because it is so much HARDER for us to lose it!

My suggestion is simply just talk to her. Find out why she feels the need to act the way she does, then find some kind of common ground by creating a new bedtime routine with her. Early in this topic someone suggested reading a book "with" her not "to" her because she is old enough to read it herself. Or be creative and…

Check out the Dreams Resort chain. They have them in several different places. We stay at the one in La Romana, Dominican Republic. Awesome!

This.... absolutely THIS

Thank you for this!

I agree with this. I would document it while it is fresh in your mind, and then file a complaint against the co-worker and your supervisor. She had NO right telling everyone in the office. She should have talked to you personally and let it go at that. Very unprofessional!
