I LOVE the idea of fresh cut flowers! I think I might have to go find some flowers to put in my living room just for funsies. This thread is now giving me more ideas for fun feel-good stuff I can do. =D Maybe pump some air into my bike tires and go for a ride?

I often forget how much I enjoy some of my favorite activities until I do them again. It's good to keep in mind when I'm feeling down and don't wanna do anything. I'm gonna tell myself, "I think that, but then when I do X, I will remember how awesome it is." =D

Perception is a huge thing I'm working on, little bits at a time. I have a bit of social anxiety, and it causes me to resist social events with friends and get really agitated in public areas with a lot of people. It's because I catch people glancing at me--and for all I know they're just looking around and happen to be…

Woah woah woah... I have to point something out here: "I have fallen off of the bandwagon after losing over 60lbs i put 4 lbs back on." So what I get from that statement is that today on your weight loss journey you have a net loss of 56 pounds?! That's amazing! No, really, it is... you just don't feel like it is, because…

Although I think it's unhealthy to ruminate on the negative and generally try not to think about this... I'll never forget one day in the middle of a solid year of the worst depression I've felt in my life, when my dad (who is usually a loving and awesome father) said to me, "You're blowing up like a balloon." I've been…

A recumbent bicycle is a bicycle that places the rider in a laid-back reclining position. Most recumbent riders choose this type of design for ergonomic reasons; the rider's weight is distributed comfortably over a larger area, supported by back and buttocks. On a traditional upright bicycle, the body weight rests entirely…

Give yourself some time and start taking body measurements instead of just weighing. Exercise does a lot more for you than just lowering your weight--it's going to increase your energy, your body's efficiency, your heart health, your muscle strength... You are doing a really good thing for yourself when you exercise. Take…

If you want them to butt out, I think you should go about it by actually expressing your emotions. You don't have to act angry, but list the emotions you feel. "I love my boyfriend dearly, and it hurts me a lot when someone implies that I might be betraying him. He has already said it was okay with him, and to be…

You sound really discouraged and exhausted. I bet that there is more going on--stress at work or in other areas of life, not getting enough sleep, etc? My recommendation is that you commit to a couple weeks or month of NO SCALE! Hide your scale in your basement and throw away the batteries that came in it. ;P Then during…

Trying finding Walden Farms products. They're not HEALTHY per se, but they have no nutritional value. No calories, no fat, no carbs. http://waldenfarms.com/

Just to clarify, MFP does not say eating under 1,200 is unhealthy. They say it is difficult to receive adequate nutrition at those low levels of caloric intake (true) and MAY lead to your body entering starvation mode. They don't make any hard statements like "this is unhealthy" because this isn't a medical website and…

If you are only eating 1000 calories or a little less, you should really go check in with a doctor every now and then. They can do blood work and check on your vitals to make sure you're staying healthy. I am on a doctor-supervised medical fast that has me eating about 800-1000 calories a day mostly in high-protein,…
