This is too funny because I just tried it today, too! I LOVED it but it didn't leave me satisfied, so I still ate my normal breakfast. I used a tablespoon of ghee, a tablespoon of coconut oil, and a dash of vanilla. Maybe I'm doing something wrong?

My guy jokes about wanting me to be a traditional housewife, but he also likes the significant income boost from my job. And he realizes that with my demanding career I can't devote my life to his needs, so he can't have it both ways. So we have to approach household chores as a team, and we are both completely ok with…

But I'm ok with that. I calculated what I could and didn't get seconds. We'll see how the weekend goes.

This is what I have heard, too. I am getting married this year, and my criteria is that I am inviting +1s for people that are either married, engaged, or live together. If I don't know the person well enough to know whether or not that person lives with his/her SO, I am not inviting them!

Am I the only one that was completely underwhelmed by this episode? Daryl just up and leaves and Rick just goes bat-*kitten* crazy after seeing Lori's ghost? Hopefully the next episode will be better. I thought that this one wasn't worth waiting for, to be honest.

Feb 10 2013 Colleen 8 The Binge 1 Days finished logging 8 2013 stats: January 22/9 Yesterday was straight-up scary. It was the first time in a very long time that I was able to DIRECTLY pinpoint the triggering event to the urge.

Wow, I wish I had read this yesterday. I am going through something similar. A couple of good friends of my fiance and I are friends with another couple that we sometimes see at gatherings. For some reason, this couple decided that they don't like us. Every attempt at conversation over the past few years has resulted in…

I hope to do this, too, Mollie! I started seeking comfort in food from an early age, and I'd like to break that cycle. Hopefully I can do this in a way that makes them not feel shameful or guilty if they have sweets every now and then.

This whole topic is SO up my alley. Instead of saying I'll never eat these things for the rest of my life, I just say "not today." Kind of like the previous example with the donuts; I tell myself maybe one day when I can handle them like a rational individual. :tongue: I think I have two categories of "problem foods:" 1)…

I went to OA once when I lived in a different city. Found that it wasn't for me. But maybe I just need a different meeting. Weight Watchers meetings seem to be helping, even though it's not quite the same. Sometimes I get overwhelmed at all the information at WW meetings and the negative voices in my head tell me that I'm…
