I would and should lose my teaching license if I spoke that way to a child. Totally not cool.

Slip ups happen. I once called my 16 year old daughter the B word, because she was acting like a total one. And, we were both hormonal, so that had a lot to do with it. She had NEVER heard me call her that before, and I felt horrible doing so and apologized afterwards. It wasn't a nice thing to do, and I imagine if the…

Toughening up kids is about learning to say NO, and setting boundaries, expectations and instill values and ethics they can transfer into an adult world. It is about allowing them to try, fail and learn from their mistakes. It is NOT about giving them a full range of colorful and offensive language to use when they can't…

I have a couple of "cuss" words that I've made up: FRIGDIDDLY (you can use this with so many variations, it makes it fun): Examples: as an adverb: "That was FRIGDIDDLY awesome!" as a verb: "Quit Frigdiddling around and get back to work" as a noun: "I don't give one flying FRIGDIDDLE about your problems." SHI-DANG! A…

I am a teacher in a Catholic school. It is NEVER appropriate to cuss in front of kids, AND where I work, it is also a form of cussing to say the following words (and I do not tolerate them in my class): Crap Sucks Oh My God Friggen/Frickin NOW, I swear in the staff room and behind closed classroom doors, but I keep my…

Been busy, will play catch up once school is over for the summer.

Always positive.

I agree. Which is why in my profile I say I do not accept friend requests from people who starve themselves or engage in fad diets, take magic pills, or use supplements as their main meals. Honestly, it's really not my cross to bear or burden to have on my shoulders. Does this sound cold? Yes. I have enough issues with…

False TNP has never been in my kitchen.

Most def.

I'm curious to know what everyone thinks of the statements below. Do you agree with the perceptions out there? If you're morbidly obese, you MUST be very lazy. If you're extremely scary skinny, you MUST be very driven. It fascinates me how we can all jump to certain conclusions just based on physical appearance.

Help me to understand what a "refeed" is...because it sounds close to a binge, and I know you are too disciplined to be a binge eater.

Running to me has always looked B O R I N G and painful. I love cardio workouts, but I prefer a little more variety in my routine than just moving forward at a steady pace. Plus, it appears to be very destructive to joints and pelvic bones. Just my opinion.

Here's an interesting angle: What if we focused on loving ourselves for what's on the inside instead of outside? I think we are placing too much value on the outside appearance. Healthy people have a balance between social, physical, emotional and mental health. If we work on adjusting and getting those into homeostasis,…

"Get an education, a degree, and a job and work for at least one year before you marry. That way, you will never need to rely on a man to support you. It's nice to have them in your life, but they aren't necessary for survival." said the woman who has been married to the same person for 60+ years. My favorite though had to…

I recommend you join a MFP group for support. The people on here can be pretty mean as well, and ruthless in their answers. I admit I have a very ruthless side to me, if the person who is seeking advice isn't willing to take advice. That's when things turn very bad very quickly. Congrats on making the first few steps…

It's not an issue of looking bad, because you look great. It's the internal dialogue going on between your ears. Your body says "I am better now physically" but your eyes and mind say "I'm STILL that fat girl I used to be." You need to lose the mental weight that is dragging you down. Buy some new clothes, smile more at…

If you need a relevant guide, I burn about 350 cals when I'm doing my routine. I have my Fitbit with me to register steps and calculate calories. It's not as high as my regular Zumba burn, but still gives me a great big sweat.

Yes, I understand. Nothing worse than someone with a great big smile on their face when they see me doing my thing, while they're probably thinking: "Wow, she looks like she's having the time of her life!" I'd hate it if people were actually getting a laugh at my expense. PS: I did a rousing version of "The Time Warp" in…

Why not? I do something similar to this frequently. It's a great workout, totally freeing, and I really don't give a sheet what others think. In fact, I get whistles, car horns and thumbs up when I am out doing my "thing". On the track two weeks ago, a mom with a baby in her stroller caught me on her phone as I walked…

YEP. I call my version "aerobo-dogging" because I added a hound into the mix. Open the link and read my description, it sounds virtually identical. Then read what happened to me after doing this on the middle school track. There is a reason why I am STILL the "Crazy Track Lady" after all these years.…

Next Monday, after my heavy duty Zumba workout, my instructor and I will be going out for a drink. Not ONLY will I be wearing my "yoga pants", but I will be wearing my sports bra and "wife beater" shirt. Plus sweat. And I don't care what I look like or who looks at me.

I'm the funny weirdo who predicts earthquakes, uses large words, works out like a horse, and is always able to get my friends to shake their heads at me.

Intensive therapy. You really should start there.

I can't unsee this. EVER. Thanks. A LOT.

Guilty? I'd feel sick. 1/8 of a pie is more than enough to settle me. Are you sure you aren't prone to binge eating?

I try to avoid foods that come out in the same condition they went in. Even tho I love corn, I don't eat it. For me, not a fan of brussel sprouts or lima beans. And what the heck is a rutabaga, anyways?

You can cut the oreo calories in half if you pull them apart first, then only lick the icing out. That way, you can eat 3000 cals worth of oreos a day. Imagine the joy! This also works with ice cream. If you eat ice cream from the bottom of the carton, you will actually lose weight. It's called "negative calories".

Half a cheesecake? WOW. Time to start logging EVERYTHING so you can see exactly what you're doing wrong. I think the "off days" and the "half a cheesecake" might have something to do with why you're not losing weight.
