Hi there! I work at our local university as a Midnight Service Desk Clerk for the Residences - basically a glorified hotel desk clerk with lots of paperwork! I handle any problems or issues that come up between the hours of 1230am and 830am. The downside is it is the middle of the fricking night and I can't just wander…

I agree, I think it is great that people put effort into being encouraging and supportive. Good for you OP! I hope I can be as supportive to my friends. remember what Thumper's mom told him....If you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all."

I still feel like everyone is looking at me and judging me, but am slowly convincing myself that I just don't care! My treadmill interval workout is awesome! I have started doing arm and upper body weights - my right knee is shot so…

YES! I work steady midnights at a desk job - it is totally dependant on the computer so I have no opportunities to move around. I am supposed to head straight home and sleep so I am available when the kids get home from school, then it is homework and supper and bedtime routines and then back to sleep for a bit before…

I too am an emotional eater and my husband is my enabler! The people who sabotage (consciously or unconsciously) have their own reasons for doing it. In my husband's case we have FINALLY figured out that it is because with his first wife - she dieted and lost weight just before she left him for another man. Now whenever he…

Hi Ladies! thanks for the tip about Old Navy! I live in Canada and they don't have the plus size section that you lucky girls in the States have! I have already scoped out a couple things to buy! :)
