  • Love your words, OP. :)
  • With this type of thing, I think it's best to get it checked by your Vet. right away. I wouldn't risk it! My mom is a certified vet tech & has been in the field for the last 30+ years and I can't tell you how many times owners have waited too long to get stuff like this checked out. Better safe than sorry. Especially since…
  • This is Sabre aka jelly-bark-shark. lol She has her own bed, but sometimes prefers my comforter and pillow. haha
  • My mom has said countless things that will stick with me forever.. but I think one of the most important that I try to keep in mind always is: "It's all about your attitude" (Implying that you can choose how you feel and react to life.) :smile: My grandmother has always lived by "Always get up one more time than you have…
  • 23 After I had built up a savings because my parents didn't charge me rent. Plus when I moved out, my then boyfriend (now fiance) and I moved in together. It was much more affordable (and awesome) than living on our own. :) I feel much more free- don't get me wrong, I love my family. But I think my relationships are so…
  • Depends on the man! lol If he's a dbag, it doesn't matter what kind of hair he has. My guy has plenty-o-facial hair.. had a bit of chest hair when we first started dating and somehow has way more now.. maybe from finally eating his veggies??? LOL.. But seriously- I love whatever comes naturally with him. If he waxed his…
  • I've donated most of mine- but I totally love the idea of getting store credit for trade at the high-end resellers... I will have to check that out. :) Thanks for the idea!
  • I recommend this book a lot.. because it is seriously great- check out Vegan on the Cheap by Robin Robertson. You won't regret it.. even though the recipes omit ovo-lacto products the food always comes out absolutely delicious! I would also say watch out for processed vegetarian foods. (I've been a vegetarian since birth..…
  • I'm proud to say my dream job *is* my actual job.. finally ! I'm a concept artist working for an indie game company. :-) On the side I do some freelance work for some nice extra padding to the ol' wallet.. and for the fun of it. ^_^
  • Definitely a personal choice!! You do what makes you happy and what you are okay with. To each his own. ;) Although personally, I took the advice my aunt gave me (LOL) 'Try it before you buy it'. Haha.. And I was very happy I did. I've been with my man for going on 9 years and we are engaged to be married in 2014. We've…
  • ^ Me too! Got the book, read it, and am currently following their instructions on technique and doing the program offered. My fiance 'spots' me to make sure my form is correct. Built up my weights collection pretty fast lol. Definitely recommend checking out NROL: For Women. :-)
  • This, right here ^ is NOT okay. If you cared enough about what *he* wants??? Is this a joke? Your body is NOT his. It is yours. If he is not happy with your body, enough to 'restrict' you as his wife from adopting a dog, you need to seek counseling together or have some very calm & open discussions about how he is coming…
  • I'm sure some of these have been mentioned... but as for vegetarian-friendly choices, I like seitan, lentils, chickpeas, black beans, quinoa, almonds, pumpkin seeds, greek yogurt... and omg peanut butter. lol :P Edited to say: Oh! And Chia seeds are good too- I often add them into oatmeal, smoothies & shakes.
  • Not that my diet preference matters, but I'm a vegetarian and I say 'good for you!' lol Glad to hear you're sticking to your guns & choosing, what is in my opinion, the most healthy way to lose weight. :-) Nothing beats out exercise & working towards good nutrition.
  • If you're not feeling thin, but 'know' you are.. it sounds like it's more a matter of working on your mentality than your intake. As others have said, counseling is a good option.. but on the side, it never hurts to meditate & do athletic activities you really enjoy. (Sometimes when I get into a physically demanding game,…
  • Be honest and upfront, but also realize that maybe you're too invested in what she's doing with her life on the side.. I mean- it's not okay for a friend to lie about why they can't hang out.. but in the end, she is just that- a friend... not a girlfriend. I'd shrug it off & let her know you felt a little weird that she…
  • Overly-sweet coffee... and all meat. lol Specifically by smell... super oily foods, eggs, roast turkey D: bleh ... and canned tuna is the absolute worst, imo.
  • Plain & simple... I want to feel good, both physically & mentally about my body. I know if I don't work for it every day, I won't have it. ....what's that saying, 'If you don't have your health, you don't have anything'? I believe it. :) Eating well & striving for fitness are key components.
  • Soooo, so awesome!!! Truly, an amazing transformation!
  • It's kind of sad that 'lyle mcdonald' takes the stance that people who read these types of books are doing so because "these folks are too lazy to think and research for themselves, and are therefore ready prey for misguided gurus peddling scientifically unsound nonsense" I read the book out of curiosity and belief that…
  • Just wanted to add... since I see a lot of debate about the health benefits and/or deficiencies of being vegetarian/vegan being mentioned.. check out the book 'The China Study'. It's a great read regarding a comprehensive study of the relationship between diet and the risk of developing disease. :-)
  • I take detoxified iodine supplements & it has totally changed my life! I have hypothyroidism and the detoxified iodine has stabilized my levels as well. :-) Weight loss finally became possible through healthy eating & exercise. I get my supply through a local Herb & Nutrients shop, but you can get it online too:…
  • I'm vegetarian working towards becoming vegan. I find the most helpful thing is to diversify meals, try new things & make the most delicious recipes I have.. this keeps me fully satisfied without even realizing I'm not eating animal products. :-) I will always recommend the book 'Vegan on the Cheap'. I cook out of it *all*…
  • I second this. :-)
  • I haven't read everyone's responses, so it's possible someone already said this- but have you considered speaking to him about the fact that death is simply part of the life cycle of all living things? The existence of death, to some, is a reminder to truly enjoy being alive and to work towards bettering yourself & the…
  • 4 years of art school plus some under my belt here. ^_^ Currently working as a concept artist for an indie game company. :-) Feel free to add me, creative peeps!
  • I've noticed that while some of my 'older' (larger) jeans still technically fit, they fit vastly different. When I finally tried on a size down (or two) I was shocked to remember how jeans are *supposed* to fit. lol I know, that sounds weird.. but I had gotten used to my other ones being a little more baggy (and sitting…
  • Representing Scorpio, here! .. Virgo rising & Taurus moon. [Rising & moon signs have a huge play in everyone's true nature, imo!]
