That sucks, I'm sorry. A lot of people on here got it right. It's the parents, not the child. I have two kids, my eldest just starting to get to the age, 7, where she realizes people are different from her. She seems to be very color blind which is not the case for some of the kids around her. She does notice size though…

Since I creep your diary most of the time anyway :) What I've noticed is that on days that you have items with higher sodium (hot dogs, hamburgers, fries and the like...) that you tend to consume more calories that day. Not just in the high sodium item but in sweet snacks as well. Also, bready items seem to be something as…

I could only do about 3 minutes on the blasted thing when I first started on it (may 15th) now I can do a whole hour and honestly not want to die lol I'm surprised how much I love it. I switch up the cross ramp and the resistance a lot to keep myself entertained.

I have the exact same issue. I became allergic to all deodarants after my pregnancies. I use baby powder. You could try something like that.

Mine is by a taco bell, Arby's, Burger King, Wendy's and a KFC. And on the drive home from the gym (which is 5 minutes from my home) there is a Starbuck's, Wafflehouse, Sonic, and Mcdonalds. The only one that doesn't really kill me is Starbuck's and that's because what I normally get doesn't have that many calories in it…

Ha, there was a guy at my gym the other day who did pretty much the same thing in the strength training section. It was hilarous. And he was SUPER in shape, grunting and moaning and making these weird hissing noises through his teeth. The best part was the 80 year old woman on the machine across from him was giving him a…

The study that the whole '8 cups a day' is wildly misquoted, and by the way done in the 50's. There is a point where too much water is a very bad thing. Don't force it down. What they actually said in that study is that most adults should consume 8 cups of water a day which is mainly done so by the intake of food and other…

I've been the same size for 10 years. 250, sometimes a little above, sometimes a little below but always there. Through 2 pregancies and everything. So, I've never gotten that. What I get is very back handed compliments. Some people I know don't mean them how they sound, like my mother. She's just not the best with words…

Honestly, I have this issue but it's not really an issue anymore because I plan for it. In fact, I'm eating mine right now. I keep plain lovely dark chocolate in the house for my relaxing end of the day snack that I have. I usually have it between 7 and 9 since I don't want to eat at least a couple hours before bed.…

Well, I'm not personally muslim (or any sort of religion either for that matter.) but my cousins are muslims. I would say that you should perhaps reduce your exercising if you're doing a lot of hardcore stuff but don't cut it out completely because exercise can reduce your hunger levels. Perhaps you should focus more so…
-
Hmmm... no, I usually gain weight with stress because I eat everything in sight. My thoughts are perhaps you were doing a bit too much, burning too many calories, and the snacking kick started your body, perhaps. Just my thoughts.

You're not taking the prescription pills anymore but are you taking mortin or anything like that? I have TMJ and during the summer it's more uncomfortable because I swell so I take those types of pain medication. Then I started having issues... it turns out that mortin and the like causes those sorts of stomach issues. I…

If they're that nice of clothing and it's only a couple size difference I'd say get them taylored. It'll be more flattering to your figure and you get to keep the clothes you spent so much money on. Besides, it cheaper than getting new clothes. And yea, you're kind of making excuses. You control your weight, not your age.…

Mine is Scotty Foxglove. lol I've certainly heard worse ones.

30 to 40 minutes depending on your size on the eliptical will do it. Or an hour on a bike. Or 30 minutes or so mowing the lawn. 2 hours of cleaning. Like I said it all depends on your size.

Drinking green tea and water helps. Banana's are good for energy as well. A good before workout snack is wheat toast with peanut butter and a sliced banana. Gives you a ton of staying power and it tastes lovely.
-
Have you been tested to see if perhaps you're a super taster? Super tasters have more taste receptors on their tongue so they taste things more strongly, like bitter and tart. Most STs don't like veg. My mother and my sister in law are STs. They tend towards blander foods or things that are extremely sweet. My SIL is 5'10…

It may be the iron content. I had that issue as well. Espescially if you eat plenty of meat and such. Look at your multi and see the iron content. If it's 100 percent try to find one that has half or non at all though you may have to go to an actual vitamin shop to find it. Also, take it in the morning right before…

Last night I made oven fried mini turkey empandas with wonton wrappers. I sauteed some onion and garlic in a bit of olive oil then browned the turkey with it. Then I mixed in some taco seasoning and cooked it up. Then I filled them each with a teaspoon of the meat and a pinch of cheese. Then folded them, wetting the edges…
-
Yeah, this too for me! It's like breakfast sausage to linked sausage. They're two different beasts and I like them for different things. Turkey for quick in the morning breakfast. It takes less time to cook. I like regular bacon crumbled up in soups or on potatoes or salad. Oh or potato skins! I never eat anything just…

I literally just made some for tomorrow. I like mine a bit thicker. It's all blueberry. 1/4 cup of steel cut extra thick oatmeal 1/4 cup of unsweetened vanilla almond milk 1/4 cup frozen wild blueberries 1/4 cup of blueberry greek yogurt All together it's around 200 calories. I'll probably end up having it with a couple…

I prefer working out in the midmorning, midafternoon. So, I have to eat or I'll pass out lol or get really mean. I'll work out about an hour and half after breakfast or lunch and if it's much more after that I'll have a small carby snack before. Wheat bread with peanut butter and a banana. Something along those lines.

Lets see... my favorites are... 1. Sushi 2. Cheese 3. Fruit 4. Meat 5. Bread lol yeah, if it's in that catagory I love it. And my favorite drinks are Tea (black green I don't care) and milk. Gah milk is soooo good. Least favorite: 1. Raw onion (cooked is fine) 2. Squid 3. Eel 4. Bell peppers (they're fine, finely diced in…

I have two children and I wasn't able to breast feed either because for some reason I am completely unable to produce milk. It's amazing how some people make you feel guilty for doing one thing or another with a child. Breast feeding just wasn't in the cards for my kids. But they are happy, healthy, and that's all that…

Oranges are good for your immune system, and the smell might settle your stomach. Peppermint or mint of any kind is good for sickness. Ginger, ginger ale or ginger tea is good to settle stomachs. That's what they recommend to pregnant woman during morning sickness. Honestly, I'd just recommend eating an orange, drinking…
-
I think they're right about the salt content making you thirsty but also the heat factor can do the same. If you're drinking soda (which you shouldn't be drinking it anyway) it could make you drink more. Or I suppose whatever you're drinking with it. So, I guess it could be bad calorie wise that way! I don't think it would…

I'm kinda playing old school right now. I'm playing Civ 4. Oh, and I've been playing Mario Kart some with the kids. I'm awful at it lol

I'm not a huge drinker since I'm such a lightweight but I do have a few suggestions. Perhaps you could try a hard cider like Woodchuck? It's around 160 cals which I wouldn't consider light but it's better than 200. Every little bit helps. Perhaps there is even an unfiltered hard cider or something that has a little bit of…
