I have two dresses I picked up off the clearance rack that I think/hope will fit me when I'm at goal. They are gorgeous and I think together set me back about $20. They're hanging in my closet right now, towards the back...maybe I need to display them to keep my motivation up :laugh:

I'm just....mesmerized :laugh::laugh::laugh:

lol Nope, but the "Jewish Mother Guilt" is a well-known comedic tool :wink:

It's on DVD now??? I have an irrational love for Richard Simmons videos :laugh:

Nope. :smile:

This thread is a really great motivator to get back on my C25K program...thanks to everyone who posted!! :flowerforyou:

I've read through a few pages and I'm of two minds on this... 1) The OP is basically saying "I love myself and my body no matter what size I am, so *being skinny* is not my main goal, but I would like to be *healthier*". I really see no way in which this is an issue :huh: OTOH.... 2) OP, is it really that you honestly…

This, yes. I couldn't put my finger on it, but this. OP, I get your point. And yea, it's good to have perspective in life. But your post definitely came off (IMO) as a Jewish mother level guilt trip that really wasn't inspiring at all.

Just adding to my feed! LOVE this!

You are gorgeous! WTG on your progress!!!

:laugh: Ok, I figured it was along the lines of just not having any of your own...but it was like :huh: :huh: :huh: when I read it.

Tangent: How does one "not believe in children"? I mean, they exist. I can prove they exist without even trying. The hell?

I need to go shopping where you live, apparently :laugh: Half the time I can't even find the "Women's section" and then if I can, it's a couple of racks worth of incredibly ugly clothes. It's certainly not normally as big as the other sections of the store and I've NEVER seen one larger than the other sections!! Also,…

At least he's honest? :laugh:

My boyfriend's daughter, referencing her twin sister: "Daddy, can I make Anna into bacon?" BF: "Ummmm no? Why would you want to do that???" Child: "Because I want to eat her :)" On a completely unrelated note, I'm extra nice to that child...:laugh: :noway:

I go back and forth with mine, but I love mine short! And I don't think I look like a man or anything :laugh: Am in the process of growing it out...just for the sake of something new :)

I say cut it...but then I pretty much keep mine short :laugh: What's the worse that could happen? Even if you hate it, it's going to grow back out :flowerforyou:

Bump

My friend's daughter is extremely well behaved, as well. He NEVER has reports from school about her behavior and very, very rarely has to correct her at home for any kind of serious behavioral issues. Her biggest issue seems to be concentrating; she's easily distracted and easily frustrated (we think there might be some LD…

Haha, me too! I hear people talk about how bad it was and I'm all "lolwut?" because he's about all I remember of it :laugh:

For those of you who tried the drugs, what were some of the side effects? What should parents be looking for in their kids, if they decide to try meds? Where there things you wish your parents had been more aware of when you were on different medications?

Awww you did great!! You went, and that's the important thing! I know how hard it can be to do stuff like that the first time, especially alone (it terrifies me), so here's to you for getting out and doing it!! :flowerforyou: :drinker: :flowerforyou: :drinker:

I've been doing some poking around the interwebs, and gluten-free seems to be a pretty widespread idea when it comes to ADD/ADHD and some learning disabilities.

So.....you can come into a thread and be rude....but other people can't call you out on it? Oh, the irony and hypocrisy :laugh:

Just because you *can* do something doesn't mean you *should*. I know it's the internet, but damn, some manners would be nice.

And she's very specifically asking about DIETARY and NUTRITIONAL changes that could possibly help with ADD/ADHD. Not every post is going to be something that interests you, or is pertinent to your life. And, I know this may sound crazy, but you are allowed to just not read a thread that doesn't interest you.

Any and all of the above, depending on the day :laugh: If I'm really really craving something, I will try to make room for it in my calories. If I'm just kind of like "I'd like to have something sweet", I'll make a lower calorie alternative for everyday snacking. But, some days, I want something that basically eats up all…

I'm trying to remember exactly...I know the other day she said bacon. If she mentions anything else, I'll update :)

Quoted for the comment about digestive issues, because she's made a few comments lately about how she can't eat certain foods. I thought she was being melodramatic, lol. Thanks for that info!
