People generally put less effort into reading their bodies than they do into reading the cereal box. Sometimes it's beneficial to tune out the noise, close your eyes, take some deep breaths, and think about how your body is feeling. Stretch bits, tense bits, be conscious of how your bowels are feeling today. Examine the…

we're still waiting for the usual, "if he was young and hot you'd like it! Snobs!!"

So a woman gets catcalled, posts online to vent and say it upset her. A bunch of women agree that we don't like catcalling, we have a low opinion of the perps, and we wish it would stop. Several men agree. But we also get: It's your own fault you get upset because you should enjoy it. You're oppressing men by complaining…

I think most people comfort eat to some degree. Especially on this site! It's absolutely nothing to be ashamed of. Everyone has a coping mechanism, and some of them are far worse than food. Try to stop beating yourself up for wanting to do something that makes you feel better, because having those negative thoughts about…

Edward being tormented by Charlie.

I find my motivation comes from knowing the comedy that's awaits me. Me and the mastiff X have an understanding. I understand that he thinks 5.30am is too early, he understands that I don't care, he understands that he's extremely heavy, I understand that I'm pretty strong. He loves it once he's up, but getting that dog…

I don't recall any woman in this thread complaining about people saying hello. The OP said she was wolf whistled, which is not a smile and a good morning. You're implying that, by injecting to objectification, that bullying women are repressing innocent men.

Fluid. Stool. A heavy meal. There's plenty of reasons for daily fluctuations, and it's really not worth stressing over. Don't look at individual days, look at the general trend.

Consent. The difference is consent. Those threads are for people to invite a comment or compliment. Walking in public is not an invitation. You may disapprove of women behaving flirtatiously, but that's not the cause of the problem. "Eve teasing" is still a huge issue for women in countries where they wear burquas and…

I know there's a ton of people here who scream "this is dangerous!!!!" at every little thing, and I tend to roll my eyes at that sort of reaction... but, this really is potentially damaging. I know that when I was in the dangerously underweight BMI category, I never felt hungry and had tons of energy. I miss feeling as…

The longer I go without added sugar, the more off putting sugar is. If I buy chocolate it has to be really good quality, and I can keep it at work and just eat one square a day.

My daughter first encountered public harassment from a group of middle aged men when she was 13, and she was absolutely petrified. She hadn't even had time to come to terms with growing breasts before men who she thought of as dad aged were feeling entitled to make her feel uncomfortable about them. She came home in tears…

Vegan protein powder? I'm a fan, though I'm not a vegan. I've no idea which brands are nut free.

Too much of some vitamins and minerals can be more dangerous than too little. Don't just guess, or take advice from strangers online. Even though the chance of it being the symptom of something more serious is small, it's really not worth ignoring. See your doctor, get your bloods done. We're not qualified to diagnose you.

I was single for 15 years, after ending an emotionally and mentally abusive relationship. I dated a little at a distance, but mostly concentrated on healing and raising my kids. When I turned 40, I met a colleague's son, who was considerably younger than me. We've been together about 4 years now, and I've never been…

If you consider yourself a decent guy who happens to catcall, your reaction to this conversation won't be to tell us we're being unfair on men. If you consider yourself a decent guy who happens to catcall, your reaction will be to realise the upset your behaviour is probably causing and stop. That's literally all we want…

That's very easy to say if you're a man who has never been sexually assaulted. Conservative estimates put the number of women who have been at about a fifth. We have every reason to be concerned. We're literally taught it in schools, advised by police, to stay aware of our surroundings, cross the road if we see a man on an…

I wouldn't run without my four legged bodyguard. Not long ago, a group of men in a van tried to abduct a female cyclist, not that far from where I live, and I live in what I consider a safe area. I've had catcallers turn nasty on me. It's just too tiring to be constantly on guard.

Men who don't catcall have nothing to apologise for. And any man who is brave enough to call other men out on their bad behaviour is making the world a better place for everyone.

Try searching YouTube. I've seen some pretty impressive physiques promoting body weight exercise. You might be able to pick up basic kit like dumbbells for very little, or even free, if you look on sites like Freecycle.

Sleep disruption is terrible for causing cravings. And new mums are usually a bit sleep deprived. When you're tired and run down, you're probably going to crave higher energy foods. Make sure you're looking after yourself! Good food, plenty of fruit and vegetables, obviously. But also asking for help, getting rest when you…

I've tried a bunch of both over the counter and prescription pain meds for my hideous periods. The ones that work all had unbearable side effects, so I can only take them if I have the day off. CBD was a last resort, because all the overblown claims put me off. For me, it takes away the sharpest corners, but doesn't take…

I'll add that absolutely nobody suggested doing anything at all to men who catcall. We wrote about how much we hate it, and how men who do it are jerks, and how we should have the right to dress as we want without being pestered. Taking that as an attack on men is ridiculous.

Because the foolish womenz don't know what different tones of voice or body language are expressing, and people always use wolf whistles to warn of danger.

Having hit my mid 40s, one of the best things about getting older is that I get less attention from jerks. It's glorious! There's not a lot of perks to getting older, but that's absolutely one of them. And there's no compliment, no flattery, in having some random inform you that you're worthy of his creepy attention. And…

If you divert your body's resources away from fighting infection and getting better, divert them into working out and post-workout repairs instead, you're going to take longer to recover. Your body can only deal with so much. Listen to your doctor! There's a difference between being driven, and being stubborn and self…

You really do adjust. I used to do a very common autistic thing, which is layer on the salt or sugar so that it's all I could taste. And I mean a literal crust, eat that layer, add a new crust. When I had kids I stopped having salt in the house, and sugar was strictly rationed. I even used to buy the potato chips with the…

So sweet looking! Moving her off the treadmill would be a workout in itself. I hope you use correct form when lifting! :smiley:

He's adorable!! And heavy! <3
