Girls are crazy lol, guys can have body dysmorphia too. It just tends to be in the "I'm too skinny/not buff enough" realm. And I gotta say, there is a reason that girls may be more insecure about their bodies. Girls get a lot more pressure to be pretty/sexy/fit than guys from society as a whole

Body dysmorphia can be described as difficulty seeing your body for what it is; "morphing" the visual image through your cognitive perceptions of yourself. NOT ****ty self esteem, but a tendency to focus on perceived flaws while ignoring the parts that don't cause you psychic distress. One exercise that may be useful to…

A friend of mine recently died of cancer, and she blamed HCG that it wasn't detected earlier. She believed that she had a tumor already, and that when she took HCG it encouraged the growth of cells (as HCG does naturally when pregnant). In other words, the HCG nurtured the growth of a tumor as if it were a baby. Not to say…

I second the teeth brushing strategy. By time I'm done brushing the craving has gone down a bit, plus who wants to eat a cookie after toothpaste?! Okay, I do. But the cookie doesn't taste as good after toothpaste, so it is a good deterrent

My favorite is carnets - cut a pork shoulder (Boston butt) into 1 cubes, toss with oregano, salt, pepper & cumin. Put in crock pot, add 1 onion (quartered) and 2 garlic cloves (whole) on top of the meat. Cook low for 6 hours, use slotted spoon to remove meat. Toss the onions & juice, no matter how yummy it looks (it…

You look amazing! Your smile is the best part. Thanks for sharing!

Noooooooooooo.

Personally, my motivation wanes with every second I'm awake! Not just with working out, I'm useless for anything productive after 6 PM. I prefer to exercise in the AM because then it is done and out of the way. It also gives me a better idea of how to plan my food for the day. For instance, since I worked out this AM I had…

Bump! Thanks for sharing!

You just made me laugh out loud at my desk. And the recipe sounds fabulous!

Hey how did Nexplanon work out? I just got it today and then read the side effects can include weight gain (although the studies they cited were ****ty - no real control group). I've taken bc pills for 13 years so I'm super curious about what/if I'll feel different with Nexplanon.

Bumpity bump bump!

For me, I feel sexiest when I'm confident. It sounds like what you are saying is that you don't feel very confident right now. Explain that to your hubby and maybe offer some suggestions for how you make you feel more confident, ergo more sexy (ideas could be complimenting you, avoiding criticizing your looks, doing…

Bump! I may add some onion for a latke fix

I was in the same situation (took French in middle school, Spanish in high school). I have NEVER regretted it! I can practice Spanish frequently and French rarely.

Bump

I'll add another bump! These look awesome, thanks for sharing

I'm crazy about the Bufalo chipotle sauce - it makes everything yummy with 0 calories and a nice mild spiciness. I like Frank's hot sauce a lot too, but after 1/2 cup or so it can be a bit spicy for me :)

Thank you for sharing, they look delicious!

I soak salmon in soy sauce - little high on the sodium but SUPER tasty

I agree that you should probably consult an MD. Feeling full could be nothing, but it could be serious. I had a friend die from cervical cancer, and in retrospect her only symptom was that she was always full feeling. Not to freak you out, it is probably just a fluctuation in appetite, but couldn't hurt to talk to a doc :)…

bump!

^--- This. If there is anything I've learned, it is that everyone is an expert. I think it is great that people have figured out what works for them (or in your case you've been educated about this), but people love to tell others about how they should be doing X Y or Z to get fit. Even professionals vary a great deal in…

I love it when MFP members shake awesome meal ideas! Thanks & bump!

I weigh before and after workouts sometimes, too lol! Not sure why, guess I'm just curious. I tend to weigh a bit more post workout, but I attribute that to the liter of water I usually drink :) I do my regular weigh ins naked in the AM, and I usually only weigh in when I suspect I'll be pleased with the results. I hate…

Oh god, I LOVE Bufalo sauce. Throw it in an omelette or just on a tortilla.....yummmmm!

bump!
