I'm curious, Amykluver, would you please describe the results you experienced? Thanks in advance.

Well, they do have to wash down that entire bag of potatoes.

Heading out west to Henry's Fork, Idaho for a week of fly-fishing with my DH. Clear clean water, gorgeous scenery, lots o' trout! And a nice lodge to sleep in. Heaven.

I just went back and re-read the original post, and here is her actual question to the forum: "Logically, I agree with this and I think it’s the best thing we could do. However, I feel slightly conflicted. We still want to have the ceremony with family at some point when he returns.. Whether it be a renewal of vows, or…

This! Don't waste your energy or time on arguing with him, you are just making him supremely happy and yourself unhappy.

I treat myself to an expensive lipstick that I love but wouldn't ordinarily buy due to cost; usually I get the $7 drugstore brands but for a reward I get Estee Lauder or Lancome (love the scent, colors, texture, and case, very splurgey). You have a great idea to find non-food rewards for yourself, and map them out so you…

Just to clarify: are you saying you think my remark was good but my profile is bogus? TIA

bump. must read entire thread!

Bet he totally has a thigh gap, though.

CoCoMa, thanks for the reply and good wishes. :-) LauraDotts, nope, not a drinker of sweetened tea or soda at all. Not before and not after. I do thank you for the suggestion, though. Codapea, thanks for the thoughts on processing ketones. It's cheering to hear that your thirst did go away after awhile. Guess I just have…

You said evil. I didn't say evil. I pointed out there is a ratio. The suggestion is directly opposite to what the OP requested.

A single serving pack of tuna mashed into half an avocado. Purdue short cuts, ditto. Or mix either with a couple tablespoons of mayo and one of mustard. A slice of roast beef, a slice of swiss cheese, a stick of celery: throw on a little mayo, roll it up and enjoy. I usually have two of them.

In what universe are chickpeas low in carbs and high in protein? they have twice as many grams of carbs as protein.

People who think you have to pray night and day for divine guidance for the cardinals. If you truly believe they are selecting the deity's presence and voice on this earth, do you think God is going to need to be reminded? Go plant pansies and then think, "I forgot to tell the cardinals who's the next pope!"

A very young woman called to try to sell me death insurance for my brand spankin' new Macy's credit card. When I declined, she very pertly explained that she could offer me a three month trial for free. She just kept repeating, " But you don't understand, you can try it for free for 3 months to see if you like it!" I don't…

For me, I learned it from my mother. To this day, she swears she never eats any sweets of any kind. However, she will stuff her pockets with cookies and cake, and go into her bedroom or sewing room, or as I live and breathe, into the closet, stuff everything in her mouth at once, choke and gag, and come out brushing the…

:drinker: :drinker: :drinker: well, that didn't take long! :happy: :happy:

Well, my name is Valerie and I get called Veronica, Vicky, or Victoria. Also, sometimes, oddly enough, Rhoda. Let's see who get's that.

Or Trenton.

:laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

The family part of it.

You win.

"If you keep listing weights you're going to hurt your baby-maker," from a man in the gym. so I replied, "is that what happened to you?"

My husband and I each chose a snack for a trip. He had a bag of chips, I had a bag of popcorn. He smugly pointed out that the calories and fat were essentially the same for each of our selections, per the labels. I smugly pointed out that HIS portion was 12 chips, maybe 1/8 of the bag, and he is gonna eat the entire bag.…

It's not the farmers making all this money, it's the corporations who produce the fertilizer.

That's the Russian Olympic coach Nicolas Romanov, PhD, who developed the POSE style of running. obviously it does great things for balance and performance. Cool, huh? :-)

We shall see.

We moved all our investments into cash two weeks ago. No interest, but there wasn't any interest to speak of on the stocks and bonds, either.

Thank you,and thank you to the others who replied to that. After all these years, I feel better. Validation IS what it's cracked up to be.
