Really great timing - I just discovered "Olga" - a brand of bras I had never heard of. I purchased 3 different styles of Olga bras. Of the three, I'm most fond of the Signature Support Satin bra, but it doesn't have any padding to protect you from showing through if you get cold. So my second favorite is the "Disappearing…

My last cigarette was Dec. 31st, 2005. A number of things "helped" me allow the cravings and urges to pass through me and beyond me, but there were only two things that "worked" for me to quit smoking. 1. I did not give myself the option to smoke another cigarette. I decided that, no matter how hellish it became, I was…

Well, its not really a compliment and I haven't lost much since I started logging my meals here... but when we flew to get married last May, I was 30 lbs heavier. We flew 1st class because coach was too uncomfortable and because it was a really special occasion. Today I flew coach and sat in the middle seat between two…

That's like saying the woman who wants to eat her way to 115 stone because she feels sexy and comfortable about her obesity is "healthy" - there isn't anything healthy about it.

I'm too new at this to give any words of wisdom, I''m currently adjusting the way I look at food and drink, and about controlling both to achieve a healthy lifestyle. I'm thinking of both as borrowing…

Hi Jane, that sounds like me. I was pretty afraid to weigh myself after the doctor told me I was 284. I know I gained weight after that, I'm just not sure how much over. After I finished my master's, I became a bit more active. I also learned about how Equal and Splenda actually spike blood sugar levels and how non-alive…

That's great in theory, but some (like my Hubs) went into various programs that taught you not to eat at all - to put your body into ketosis (sp?) so it would burn his stored energy. That has psychologically made him believe that eating = gaining. When we eat the right foods at the right time, we encourage our bodies to…

I'm just starting at this, plus I'm just starting to beat this flu bug. But one thing I have noticed is that I have less problems eating the recommended quantities and nutrition levels if I don't rely on reaching them with 2 or 3 big meals. I do lots better if I "budget" my snacks and spread out the foods throughout the…
