Seems totes ligit. Is the prize more pancakes? Now this one time, at food camp, I had chocolate chip oatmeal pancakes...

It was The Man/BigBusiness/husband/wife/ambien fairies. I understand your pain and betrayal. We can talk about over lattes and scones.

I often read while eating too, so I know the challenge. Especially in the morning, before a test. But I am not sure why you need to stop reading altogether? I set my food out in portions before I sit down to eat. Cup of yogurt in that bowl, sprinkled with the granola already, 5 shrimp on the plate, apple washed and ready…

Between the two of you, you have not given any reasons why Slim-Fast is good for weight-loss or a healthy lifestyle, but you have given numerous excuses for not eating a healthy variety of foods. Convenience does not trump nutrition. I live in the country, its 30 miles in any direction for shopping, and I buy my food 2…

Why would you need access to a huge supermarket to buy real food? I live out in the danged boonies and I still manage to eat healthily.

On the flip side, its okay for her to like it because you did? Because you don't have the time management to make your breakfast the night before? I am a nursing student. I have clinicals at random hours, and often I get very little sleep between my clinicals and lectures. I still manage to find the time before I crash for…

OP, I am sure you are in full-on "everyone hates me, I might as well go eat worms" mode, but really, that isn't the case. (And don't forget to log the worms.) I've done slim-fast. I lost 10 lbs in two months. Then I couldn't afford it anymore, and I quickly gained those 10 lbs back...and another 5 for good luck I guess.…

Thanks y'all. I feel a bit more optimistic again, but being forced to sit on the couch for two days did a number on my brain for a while. There's no pool here (I'm out in the country and can't drive cause of my foot) but whoever said upper arm workout with the crutches - no lie! Good grief! I went with the kids and hubby…

Actually I think that post was awfully presumptive and wildly off the mark. Obese parents do not automatically make obese children. It is perfectly possible for me, the fat mama, to ***** about (and effectively create change in) a school menu while still being fat. I am capable of recognizing a child's nutritional needs…

I get special treatment cause I'm a chick...and its the only place I know that encourages me to take my top off in a business venue. :) Thankfully eye-candy is free from calories.

The topic totally wandered in the pages in between, didn't it. I saw nothing in the first page about abortion and stuff, but wow, here we are. Learns me to just read first page and last post before replying. Backing away slowly...even though shaking with rage burns cals, its too hard on my heart.

This above is what my children's menu looks like. We aren't a fancy, rich school district by any means, either. Its a consolidated rural school.We took up the cause through PTA, the parents hopped right on board, the district got a grant from the state and feds to revamp the menu, and there you go. There are limits on…

I'm not doing many before I get 'sick'. I can do maybe 15-20 jumping jacks, 5-10 situps, and 5-10 pushups, and boom! I'm down for the count. I should be able to do more than that before quitting!
-
If I want something sweet but I am not sure why (maybe I'm bored, irritated, stressed) I hit up one or two lifesavers. I like the wintergreen flavors the best, because they are so intense and take a while to melt. I also like to eat jello. Sweet, low-cal, fun to eat. Oooh, and popsicles!

I grew up on Stephen King - my mom is a huge fan and I started cutting my literary teeth on Eyes of a Dragon and Carrie. I loved Rage. Loved it. I was furious when my original copy finally fell apart and I couldn't just go out and buy it anymore d/t it being retired after Columbine. Delores Claiborne and Rose Madder left…

We eat at Taco Bell maybe once every two or three months? It is in a very inconvenient section of a town I visit twice a month. I'd prolly eat there more often if I lived closer! And yeah, I can cook, I make our own soft tacos and enchiladas at home, but hell, sometimes I just want food I didn't have to do all the danged…
-
No way! I live a bit south of there, closer to GF than to Fargo. :) Small world!
-
Mine too! I'm going to pop in the DVD while my kids are napping. :D Makes folding clothes fly by.

"Pie lesu domine... Dona eis requiem..." THUNK! "A year passed. Winter changed into Spring. Spring changed into Summer. Summer changed back into Winter. And Winter gave Spring and Summer a miss and went straight on into Autumn. Until one day..." That's what the damned weather here in NoDak feels like. :)

I'm a solitary as well. I'm the only registered ADF'er in my state, and while I do have Wiccan roots, most of the Wiccans in my area are more Cuningham Wiccans, which is not what I identify with. So, solitary from both necessity and familiarity. When I start to suffer from spiritual malaise, I remind myself that taking…

I don't lapse in praying and communing, but I do occasionally lapse in full ritual and the hearth blessings. I've had the nagging feeling of needing to rearrange my altar and renew my dedication vows to my Patron and Matron, so I am trying to figure out the best way to incorporate it into my crazy life again. The other…

Amaretto, hazelnut, Bailey's Irish Cream. Oh, and a rich vanilla. Oh wait, the booze thread was down the hall. :D I would consider buying something like what you make. Depends on taste and price.

If your youtube link is a scholastic document, I'll be bowled over. Anecdotal accounts /=/ evidence. Coming from a person who has eaten mealworms and grasshoppers, I don't really worry about essence d'fly in my cheese. You can not eat cheese for your reasons, and that is cool with me. I'm just not sure what you have…

Cheese mites, also known as cheese flies, are put there on purpose for a very specific cheese type. They are also 99.9% gone before the cheese is ingested. If you don't like the idea of eating something that cheese mites were on, don't eat that specific type of cheese. Did you know that blue cheeses are purposefully…

Are you aware that your body *produces* most of your cholesterol? "...a review of dozens of articles published over the last 30 years that suggest a vegan diet supplies adequate protein but may be lacking in iron, zinc, vitamin B12, and omega-3 fatty acids that are important for vascular health. Researchers say vegans tend…

That does it. In between butchering chickens this weekend, I will be enjoying the tequila in my fridge. Who cares how tired and sunburnt you are when you are best buddies with Jose. Slainte!

You could have a colonoscopy done...I hear the stuff they give you can really empty a person out, and you'll have the bonus of making sure you got everything via video confirmation.

Has anyone ever broke down their "weight loss" to find a difference in body fat percentage? I'm interested in whether this is water loss or more than that.
-
I try to eat right and it all comes out in the end. :happy: Seriously, if you aren't sick or injured, and you eat moderately healthy, you don't need a cleanse. Your body has lots of mechanisms that do it all for you.

I have two or three a month, and when I do, I damn well enjoy them!! Cheers on this Friday to y'all. :D
