My first "real" boyfriend, I was 13-14, but I guess it wasn't really that "real" since we broke up because I refused to kiss him. LOL I was so scared. Next one, I was 15, that was the first physically "real" boyfriend. I think my first actual real love is my husband. I was with my ex off and on for 10 years, but with him,…

I'm sorry, I know I'm butting in and this is not my business, but at 8 years old, "dating" a high schooler is called child molestation. That is not a boyfriend.

I felt the same way with my first. By the third, I didn't give a crap. No, I didn't want anyone seeing my breasts, and I covered myself, but my baby being fed was more important to me than what someone else thought. If I had to choose, I'd rather see a photo of a mother breastfeeding her child than a photo of someone…

Ditto!

Wow! Great job and thanks for the inspiration!

Ahhh...thank you! I kept trying to figure it out and it was driving me insane. Great work, btw. Keep it up!

:blushing: What is NSV?

My mom gave me one for Christmas. I haven't really tried it. Maybe I should.

Greek yogurt!!! I admit it took maybe 5-6 times of making myself eat it before I could handle the thickness of it, but now I love it. Just stir, stir, stir the heck out of it. Quorn products are really good. I love the Chik'n patties. I'm a vegetarian who hasn't eaten beef or pork in 20 years and stopped eating poultry…

Ditto. Thank you for posting the ingredients!!!!! I don't eat artificial sweeteners and Sucralose in particular upsets my stomach big-time. Too bad though. 14 calories would be a great dessert!

What's it sweetened with?

Protein isn't a problem for me and I haven't eaten meat in almost 20 years. Iron's another story. I make an awesome vegetarian chili if you're interested. My husband, also a huge carnivore, loves it as do all our kids (some vegetarian and some not).

I think you look great right now!

I know exactly what you mean. There are a couple of people here at work who NEVER would say hi to me before. I have worked with these people for 4½ years, walked by them in the hallways, smiled at them, etc. and they would give me a little fake smile. NOW, they say, "Hi, how are you?" I want to tell them, "F--- off! You…

Gold Canyon are by FAR the best smelling, longest lasting, strongest smelling candles I have ever bought. They seriously put all other candles to shame. And, no, I don't sell them. LOL I just LOVE them.

Sorry if this is a stupid question, but...What is 10pm?

I think meat eaters like Morningstar and Boca more than vegetarians do, in my experience, and I think it's because they are close in taste and texture to the real thing. I can't stomach Boca burgers because they're too close to ground beef texture for me. Then again, maybe it's just me. :happy: As someone who is really…

Good to know I'm not just making the protein and fiber thing up in my head. :wink:

I'm no expert, but I believe you're good if you choose something with protein and fiber when you need to fill that void in between meals.

Makes sense to me. Anything that claims to be a short-term easy fix throws red flags up for me.

That sounds so good!

Olive Garden's salads are my all-time favorite. I buy their dressing too. I could drink that stuff. BUT...holy crap, have you looked at the sodium content???? What I usually do now is put about 1-2 tablespoons on a TON of salad in a really big bowl and mix it all up really well. That way I use less. Good lord it's…

Oooh, I might have to try that.

My coworker uses plain balsamic on her salads. It's like 5 calories per tablespoon or something like that. I don't like it personally but she loves it. I have definitely found that if I use a BIG bowl and mix it all up really well, I need far less dressing. I think I'll try dipping the fork in the dressing. That sounds…

Wow! What a HUGE difference! Keep it up!

I agree! Much younger!

Ditto! It is soooo good, with or without the crushed pineapple.

I just entered the cream cheese dip into the calculator. I used fat-free cream cheese and no-sugar-added pineapple (1 jar marshmallow creme, 8 oz cream cheese, one cup crushed pineapple) and it comes out to somewhere between 70-80 tablespoons. At 70 servings, it's only 21 calories per tablespoon. Yogurt would be much less…

I don't know about the calories, but there's one that's made with marshmallow creme and crushed pineapple and cream cheese that is TO DIE FOR!!!
