I gained five pounds. I'm hugely impressed that I didn't gain more with all the emotional eating of sweets that happened over the last two weeks.

North Carolina #10 Is not surprised at all.

Eat a large breakfast, if you can, then tiny meals every 1-2 hours. Eat slow burning food, high protein and high fiber. For me, I find grazing works the best. Eating little bits throughout the day prevents the shakes. The hard parts come I have to work and I can't eat and work at the same time in my job. v.v

I'm a Shaiya addict, vache. No, like it's bad. I'll quit and be right back into it.

I did. For several months, actually. Really, it's not that hard to do. To this day I rarely hit the fat mark I have set now. My father has been under 10 grams of fat a day for almost ten years.

I'm so happy for you! I know that is a wonderful feeling! Great job!

We're on the razor edge of a drought here. If it doesn't rain by Friday they'll call it official. Disturbing stuff. If it is a light rain and the air temperature is above 70F I'll walk in it. If the air temperature is lower than that be sure to take serious rain gear with you to stay dry or your body will be fighting to…

One thing I haven't seen mentioned here... try alternating ice pack/heat pack on the back of your neck/ base of skull. It cures a good many ailments. Knocks out my migraines quickly when the drugs alone won't touch it.

That's actually really good! The sodium's not too bad at all.

A little bit of garlic will brighten the flavor. Celery seeds are nice too. I like to put a twig of thyme in with the veggies while they steam, but I like strong earthy flavors. There are low sodium soy sauce choices available, but sometimes a pinch of just plain salt will go a long way. I mean a real pinch. Shake it into…

I have stress induced insomnia and part of my natural rhythm anyway is to wake up in the night for an hour or so between 2-3. I usually hold on to 100 or so calories for a yogurt, or some crackers and cheese, during those night haunts. I will also drink a cup of milk or make myself some hot chocolate or chamomile tea,…

I am the odd one. All my childhood I was heavier, but that wasn't what led me to fat. It's hard to describe except to say, that I was odd. I still am a very odd person. When I tried to make friends I would hear "you're weird." Children can be cruel. In order to make friend I would often pretend to be someone I was not and…

Last weekend, and I will again soon. WWTLTY made it through a day without caffeine?

It will take a few weeks for your body to kick back out of the "saving" mode. So yes, you will gain a few pounds, but if you stick to it, you will start to lose again. Is that you in your avatar pic? You look beautiful!!

Imagine someone spit on it before it came back home with you. Think of all the hands that might have touched it at the party. Unwashed hands. Think about the number of calories sitting there on the plate in terms of pounds to gain. Try to think of something disgusting you've seen before that looks kind of like that. If…

Yesterday. I had all sorts of things I shouldn't have had. And look at that not fitting into a bathtub thing as "in a reverse process". ~.^ You're doing great! WWTLTY looked a horse in the eye?

A little over four weeks ago. WWTLTY treated yourself to a bubble bath?

The only admonishment I give myself is "I CAN do it." I often repeat, "I can, I can, I can and I will." Throughout the day. My mother was pretty hardcore on positive speaking and we were never allowed to utter the word "can't" as children. If we did then we would be treated to her most favored quote: "Can't never could and…

Ack, Dreamer and my mother the nurse reminded me... It's ONLY a BP issue if it is ONLY happening when you move suddenly from a low to high position, since this increases the force on your heart and decreases it's pressure for one or two pumps. It should fade away IMMEDIATELY. If it does NOT fade away immediately then it…

A couple of months ago. Can't remember exactly. WWTLTY went out of your way to help a friend?

It is caused by a sudden drop in blood pressure from the action of suddenly sitting up or standing up from a lower position. For me it is normal, but the more hydrated I am the less it happens for some reason. The ginger trick is interesting... I'll have to try it and see if it helps.

Can't recall. I usually wake up around 2 or 3 for an hour as part of my natural cycle. Does that count as an interruption? If yes, then never, if no, then... about a week. WWTLTY worked a double shift?

9 years ago. WWTLTY went to bed early?

Chicken and broccoli is a great choice! The sauce is *equivalent *usually* to your standard teriyaki sauce.

This past Sarturday, didn't have money to pay the vet. WWTLTY were proud of how you looked in a picture?

Today WWTLTY over drafted your bank account.

Over two years ago. WWTLTY had a picnic?

Never. Mom's been cutting my hair for the last 25 years and it's always looked amazing. I think she missed her calling. WWTLTY attended a bonfire?
