Major NSV. Realizing that I wasn't feeling fulfilled and I was trying to replace that feeling with the "happiness" of tasty food. This has been huge for me. Now I can decide if I am hungry, or if I am trying to replace the feeling of happiness that fulfilled people have already. It's a very personal thing to share, I know,…

I think some are more awesome than others. They are universally interesting because you know intrinsically that the person with the accent is not from where you personally hail from, but some accents make me want to punch people in the face. .

Oooh...Good idea. Polenta crust sounds tasty!

Bump for later..and... If you want a "crust" i recently saw someone shredding spaghetti squash and pressing it with egg whites into a pie-pan, baking it until crispy and filling it with quiche filling. It was gorgeous, healthy and with sage, bacon (or turkey sausage if you abstain from pork), sharp cheddar and more…

This is so motivating. I started about at the same weight and it has taken two years just to get down to 165 (mostly because I am lazy and I work in the gourmet food industry). I haven't had a baby, but I'm so happy to hear another 5'8" girl making the 50 lb cut. Thank you for posting! Thanks also for outlining your…

<3 I'm having a hard time meeting 1200...because I eat WAY over!! WAHAHAHAH. I stick to between 1300 and 1600 as a good day. too much over that and I get a little grumpy, but SO right. Even eating healthy foods, if you eat the foods to properly fuel your body there is no way NOT to meet 1200. Unless you eat only lettuce…

I totally do. I am a grocery cart judger. The person in front of me..if they have all processed crap, ice cream, etc. and i look at them and see them and know they are grossly overweight I want to shake them by the shoulders and say "stop killing yourself with evil food! Don't you know this is keeping you unhealthy?!?!!?"…

If it is high-end pure olive oil, and you like it, maybe not bad. If you were gong for the omega fatty acids and the currently praised health benefit of olive oil vs. anything else high-cal and fat, I guess that's cool, but I'd rather eat it ON or IN something. Some folks have been known to top a 1/4 cup of vanilla bean…

Bump for later reading!

That's a great note. I always know that I will struggle with my stomach yelling at me, but I never really think about being grumpy. I've read about the hormones stored and released in fat, but I never once correlated that with my attitude or fluctuations in my behavior. This is a great note!! I can think of it this way and…

NO. I was just hungrier when I finished fasting. I find that just breaking the crummy food from the diet is what reduces my cravings for it. The less often I eat it, the less I want. It changes what I think is a treat. I use to be really excited about Cheetos, but now i just want an apple. I LOVE APPLES. I still can't stop…

Stay aware, run in well lit, well trafficked and SAFE looking areas, run where it isn't so secluded that nobody would find you if you tripped and fell or (heaven forbid) someone tried to jump you, and carry a small mace in your hand if you can. The small hand-held ones are discreet, strap to your hand and easy to use. If…

WHY?

^^ This! If you need ketchup for your steak, you aren't eating good steak. Or you are over cooking it. If you MUST add, Maya Kaimal's Spicy Ketchup is really great on everything.

^^^ This is definitely my level of intimidation. Unless someone actually got the hamster to the point of biting. Apparently I can be a little nervous-making to a few of the younger kids at work. STRANGE! I certainly don't feel intimidating, just opinionated.

Scarlet Johansson. I'll never have the boobs, but damn-it, I've got the bootie. I just want to get fit to have those curves.

Are you sure the female adoration is not mocking?

they exist? These nice internet people? are you sure they aren't covering up for something?

braised beef lettuce cups from Toby Keith's. YUM.

^^^^^ THIS.

Are you seriously asking me this right now?!?!? Everything. Cheetos. Burgers. Fried stuff. Kitchen sinks. Oh, and I'm one part evil. If I'm asking for a burger when the rest of the time I'm happy with a salad (sans croutons), run for the hills.

High places over running water. I FREEZE if I don't have something to hang on to in order to cross them. Also...looking into mirrors when it's dark and the lights are off. Creeps me out something awful. I won't have mirrors that face the bed and I'll cover them if they are facing me when I'm sleeping.

If you look at "easier" as changing your lifestyle to include smaller portions (which was hard for me), more exercise (another one I had to work at) and changing the WHAT you eat along with the how much....at the start it's hard. As you get use to doing life differently, it's much easier. Being mindful of your body and…

YES! Soda, too! I love Fanta, but they started putting the GIANT calorie number on the front of the can. Fanta 0 all the way if I want to cure my Fanta need.

HA! So true. Only my chocolate is in the cupboard. COLD chocolate tends to separate from its milkfat and it gets powdery and not quite as tasty. It becomes sad, sad chocolate. Here is another: When you open a bag of Cheetos and know exactly how many calories is in each one. You count each M&M as a separate "snack". All of…

Crickets again...drat.

I can't tell you how to accomplish your dreams because when you want it bad enough you'll find a way. [/quote] ^^^This. Well said!
