I've tried French onion and garlic and herb. The French onion flavor is too light in my opinion but I LOVE to spread the garlic and herb one on a sandwich thin or a bagel for a smoked salmon sandwich/bagel. So yummy. I want some now.

Thanks, this is what I was thinking. I will just be patient. I don't lose weight consistently every week but it is coming off slowly. I will stick to what I am doing(which I knew in my gut was better than cutting a large number of calories :). I won't let being impatient get the best of me.

I understand. Confidence and self love can be a gift and, in a crazy turn of events a curse. That's one reason it's important not to place so much stock in what others think of you not ONLY when they think negatively of you but also when they think you're great (no problem getting women/men, etc.). You know you best. It's…

This is a beautiful response. Thank you SO much for this.

Glad you aren't sad lol and that you liked the topic, thanks.

That we do@ have our days. Good luck :)

Lol Nothing at all wrong with a detailed answer. I asked for responses and I got em ;). Thanks for sharing your story and I'm glad that you were able to overcome your situation. That's awesome and inspiring :)

Thanks for your response :). I hear ya. I know no one will ever really know why, especially across the board. People are just plain silly for many reasons (including that they just suck). My gf and I hope to raise well adjusted children who don't suck and aren't of the *kitten* variety one day as well lol.

Lol right! Good luck :)

LOL I can totally see/understand that. That's a really honest answer.

Thank you :). I'm pretty level-headed and have dealt with it well since I came out (5 years ago). In reference to your situation, you must be her first known gf. Parents like to blame the partner in the first "out" relationship, sadly. My mother has more of a distaste for my first gf (she never met her) than she does for…

BUMP! I love Chinese food. Need alternatives.

I hear ya :)

Oh, absolutely @being happy making weight loss easier. Happiness makes everything easier! lol It's part of the reason I've never understood people who feel they should try to "shame" someone into losing weight all the while talking about "health" but attempting to tear a person down mentally. THAT isn't healthy.

Lol <3 this

Same @everything, except for attending many social events lol. It's due to my personality though and not my weight. I prefer solitude, just my significant other and I or very small gatherings :)

I figured that might have been your hypothesis. I think there could be something to it. Introverts tend to spend a lot of time getting to know themselves. That could definitely be helpful with confidence, etc.

Understood and I'm sorry to hear that.

I knew we were friends for a reason ;) lol

INTJ :)

You are so fortunate to realize what some people never do @not your body but your mind and being more than your weight.

I can relate to every point you made :) <3

Thanks. That is actually one of my points :). Dissatisfaction isn't a "fat" problem.

That's a great idea @the personality type thread. INTJ for me :)

Very true and if that's the case, even if you were to lose the weight that little voice inside telling you you aren't good enough will always find something else to pick on. Being unhappy is not a weight problem.

Thanks for the awesome responses guys! I genuinely love when other people have love for themselves. Also, just to clarify I was not trying to put down anyone who started off depressed. All of our journeys are different and if you have pulled/are pulling yourself up from a significantly low point, I truly respect that. It…

I understand your pain, especially when it comes to strength or lack thereof. Sometimes I wish I were born a man but only when it comes to physical strength. I don't necessarily hold them in high regard in respect to anything else to be honest. I'm not saying that men don't have value, they definitely do just nothing…

I think I may have made it sound as if the tooth actually came out. It didn't, I just basically bit through my face lol. My teeth were/are fine :)

Omg we're scar twins lol. I fell while playing tag when I was younger. I sort of bit down in anticipation of the fall because I knew it was happening and couldn't stop it. The impact from hitting the ground sent my tooth right through my lip. I've got a scar in the exact same place as you. No stitches for me either :).
