  • No. But my diet is pretty bland and limited in variety, so if I told you I ate the same basic breakfasts, lunches, dinners when I *was* logging, as when I *wasn't* for the past 3 months, and I'm roughly the same weight I was then, does that help?
  • When I worked at Starbucks as a teen, I used to shake heavy cream in the bottle we used for the caramel sauce (cleaned of course) to make "butter" for pumpkin loaf on my breaks. took forever, but tasted great :)
  • If you take some heavy cream (whipping cream) and fill a bottle that has a tight sealing cap on it about half way full and then shake it as hard as you can for ... oh I dunno... 20 minutes? The heavy cream will separate into butter and "skim" milk liquid. Butter is just milk fat, isn't it? Sure, you can add all sorts of…
  • Is real butter not considered clean? (serious question...)
  • Maybe someone has already said this but here's my take: You're depressed and eating for comfort and gaining weight. Even though you've only gained 20lbs, it could look like a lot more than that if you've also lost confidence and are slumping on couches when you get home. It could be that he doesn't fancy the person you are…
  • If you find yourself not being able to eat enough during the day, start with a bigger than normal breakfast, as soon after waking as possible.
  • Yogurt with corn starch added to make it thicker totally grosses me out, and a lot of the brands being called "greek" yogurt are just that. Makes them taste pasty. blech. :( My favorite is Greek Gods Vanilla Honey. I've seen other brands with higher protein per serving, but the taste of the Greek Gods is amazing. IMO.…
  • I have lots of stretch marks on my stomach and inner thighs from gaining 75lbs with my first pregnancy. I dry brush before my shower and use lotion afterwards. They will probably fade in time, but I don't think I will ever not have them. So instead, I've decided to not worry about it. I won't be showing off my stomach…
  • I dropped 10 lbs within a couple weeks of switching to the Paraguard from Mirena. My skin cleared up, I'm not crying at the drop of a hat anymore, my periods are 5 days long instead of 2 weeks long. The doctor took out the Mirena and immediately replaced it with the Paraguard. No waiting period or anything. Just out with…
  • I don't have time to read the whole thread, so if this is resolved or if what I say has been said or whatever I apologize. Emotional abuse is a real thing. The fact that he's said these things more than once and has the attitude that he "can't help it" is a huge red flag for grooming. All relationships go through periods…
  • Either you do it, or you don't. Do you brush your teeth every day? Do you wipe your butt after using the bathroom? Do you put on clothes when you will be seen in public? Exercise because its what you do. You know you should. You know that it doesn't ultimately take *that* much time or effort to do *something* active. So…
