  • I hope for sure he is thinking of Complacency because if he is saying he wants Life to be all Good or all Bad, then he is Bi-Polar. The textbook definition of a manic personality. Life is truly Lived in the Balance, if a person can't be content, well in the end there will only be sadness.
  • OK, HERE It IS! In the words of Nina Simone, I'm 'Feeling Good'. YouTube It and get a New Perspective.
  • I did not read but 3 sentences of your Post but I will say this from EXPERIENCE...Food Combining WORKS! Humans are the only animals that eat "helter skelter" and we have the diseases to show for it.
  • GREAT! Now go to YouTube and listen to THIS: Nina Simone 'Feeling Good'. I've been rockin this all day!
  • Green Tea and Lemonade. As strong and as sweet as you like, and the health benefits are AWESOME! BOTH Super Alkalizing.
  • FO REAL!!! That is why Reflection is sooo important. Whenever I reflect I realize "I was happy",I AM Happy. I realize that I'm a Happy person, with a Good Life, so Now all I have to do is learn how to Accept that, and Reject all the BS that "they" say is "happiness", even with challenges I always have a good sense of…
  • I am Well and each day I see a new, higher level of Physical Health and Spiritual Enlightenment. As I reflect back on the last 5 Yrs, I am Amazed at Me, My Resilience-Determination-Faith-Commitment. The last 6 months have been particularly challenging and amazing, and as I enter October, I go into YET a NEW Chapter of My…
  • Here's My thing...did he know this about you BEFORE the engagement or are you now changing on him based on you losing weight? I don't think a tattoo is something a person all of a sudden expresses that they like or may want. If he knew this about you and accepted your likes and who you are, then just let him know that what…
  • :flowerforyou: :wink: Thank-You OP for making SENSE!
  • Tongue In Cheek... What if your daughter said loudly (true or not) in public, "Dad, do you REALLY need that beer after last week when you got so drunk that Mom had to drag you up stairs to bed". Basically, why would a "parent" say anything - any where to Embarrass or DEMEAN their kids. If a kid can not Trust and Rely on a…
  • MDs know NOTHING about Nutrition...they are NOT required to take any Nutrition Classes. And YES, it s possible to lose 8 or even 10/12 lbs. in a week. I have a friend who did Fruit for a week and lost 10 lbs....ironically, starving oneself (eating nothing) does not promote wt loss for a short time, but eat melons, grapes,…
  • Working out is great, it helps so many things...stress levels, confidence, flexibility, sweating helps to clean pores...BUT remember, wt loss and maintenance is 90% WHAT YOU EAT and 10% Execise/Activity. Don't be fooled and focus on the WRONG thing. When days get hard, if you have to pass on something choose the exercise…
  • For Me, the difference in a Diet vs. a Lifestyle Change is that I know what I am doing is for LIFE...also, I know I do not have to make immediate changes (small ones are the key). The key is TRANSITIONING slowly so that the Changes will "Take". I also know that if I eat outside of My chosen Plan, it is OK, because that is…
  • As long as it is YOUR WAY! I Notice that YOU say "I use..." I bet YOU do. Trust Me, when a Woman becomes Self Aware and want HER needs to be met ALSO...Shyt hits the Fan (Even if she is "Traditional", "Religious"... (Heck, the DIVORCE Rate in the Church is over 50%). When a woman hits about 35-40 yrs old Watch Out..Either…
  • Really!!! Isn't a LOT of THIS STILL the premiss in which MANY MEN operate?!!! THINK about it...YOU (women) may have changed and to a great extent so has society BUT in MOST homes, don't these edicts STILL prevail?! Women may work OUTSIDE of the home BUT they have to come home and WORK again...She does good IF she can get…
  • Juicing does not work like that. But I suggest going to YouTube and searching both, YouTube is a Great resource.
  • :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: WHAT is YOUR BODY telling YOU? My Mom used to tell ask us, "If your friend jumped off of the Empire State Bldg, would YOU follow?" She was telling us to THINK for ourselves and be Independent, do what is RIGHT for us...one size does NOT fit all! YOUR Body is telling you it does NOT like junk/refined…
  • I have noticed that you eat a LOT of refined (Junk). Refined items are full of salt and ingredients that "hook" you; they will NOT let you go easily. They will keep you CRAVING all types of stuff and you will not understand why. I suggest more, much more FRESH Cooked or raw fruit and veggies; you may be busy but in the end…
  • You have an EXTREMELY LIMITED view/perspective of Health. You may Only be including Physical Health and still that is Limited. Health is Soundness in every Measurable Aspect of One's Life: For Me Total Wellness is My Soundness in these areas = Spiritual, Physical, Emotional, Mental, Psychological, Social, Financial and…
  • YEAH, Right! And I can tell you are bot to honest either. :laugh:
  • WOW!!! THIS is one of the Most Important things a HEALTHY person should make at home. Buy a Bread Maker, you will soon learn that (1) There are ONLY 6 Ingredients to make Bread (NOT the 15+ in store bought), (2) Real Bread tastes different, it is NOT that chemical laden cotton ball that you buy in those bags. :noway:
  • WALK, WALK, WALK.
  • Just got into popping My own popcorn...Organic/No GMO Popcorn and Organic Coconut Oil. OOOh sooo good; you only need 1T of oil or more if you like and a Quarter cup of popcorn for one person (That is a LOT), good salt (Popcorn or sea). GREAT Taste! That's a great healthful, low calorie snack (from 200-400 calories for a…
  • Yeah! Well, I don't think your thyroid has anything to do with your weight gain...yet another excuse.If anyone eats over 4K calories a day or even 3 times a week, they will be morbidly obese. You also MIGHT want to RE-THINK that "I eat relatively healthy" thingy too, after a while on this Journey and doing some research…
  • I'm not in for the Internet hoax stuff...THIS topic does Not need a boost because REAL Science is against drinking this poison. For anyone who says that they are into Health and drink diet sodas...they are truly fooling themselves. Personally, I do NOT try to convince anyone anymore on the INTERNET about a Healthful…
  • Of course if you go away to College then during College in you will live away. But unless you have a conflict with Your Parents' Rules then there is no rush to move out UNLESS they want you to. If Parent(s) and Child (ren) get along and feel comfortable with the set-up ENJOY. Now where the problem will come in (especially…
  • All I can say is BAD Writing, and even LESS knowledge.
  • That IS the POINT: People combine everything and THEN cry sick or acid reflux. Do you know the biggest selling OTC Drugs, Laxatives and Heartburn meds...why? Combining the wrong foods and eating everything. Your argument is the BEST to SUPPORT what I said earlier. Pizza, sandwiches with "meats", meat and potatoes...THIS is…
  • YEAH! Same ol' crazy "Theories" Many Obese - Past and Present use for NOT getting HEALTHY. Every kind of psychological, emotional and spiritual ploy to get "out of it". It ain't fear or emotional eating or whatever...when YOU get enough of the "world" beating you up or when your Body lets you down you WILL find the…
  • Were you depressed BEFORE you married? If so that may account for the BAD choice in a Spouse. My thoughts are that you are making a good start to getting better; but you will have to go further. Wt loss is a beginning but to CORRECT your illness, you will have to CHANGE your eating Lifestyle...meaning not just cut calories…
