  • The point isn't if you and your husband where having sex or not, the point is that it isn't someone else's business what you're doing with your life. Statements like that come from people who just feel an arrogant right to dictate other's lives by their own set of beliefs,standards, and morals.
  • You're probably going to hear this a thousand times but everyone's body is different. That's just how it is. What is good for one person may not be good for you; and that's okay! It doesn't have to be. If you're feeling weak and sick, something is wrong and you should trust what your body is telling you. You may be getting…
  • Try topping sandwiches with new veggies. For example, I like to mix my sandwiches with combinations of cucumber,different kinds of lettuce, tomato,onion,green pepper, hot pepper, and cheese. I also put pepper and Italian herbs on mine. You could get whole grain Italian bread or hearty rye, and pop it under the broiler with…
  • Thanks for the suggestions guys ^^! Unfortunately it didn't look like they'd be able to cook the chicken separately from the sauce (I think the veggies are mixed into the sauce already or something..not quite sure) so I ordered the pepper-steak. I'll munch on that salad before Boyfriend picks it up on his way home and keep…
  • Unfortunately they don't offer appetizers like lettuce wraps D: they're a pretty hole-in-the-wall kind of joint. Thanks for the suggestions guys! I think I might also have that small salad before hand and wrap up half of the meal for tomorrow.
  • 2 slices rye bread 1 medium lettuce leaf or 2 romaine leaf 2 medium green pepper rings 2 slices tomato 3 medium onion rings 4 slices turkey, 2 slices roast beef 3-4 thin slices block colby cheese (low fat %2 milk) 244cal-300
  • I feel like the only person who could eat chicken every day and be totally cool with that...
  • My favorite part is where arrogant douche biscuits tell you that they're a better and healthier person then you. Because we all know organic rainbow sunshine lettuce is the only way to be healthy, and that every one of us must live the exact same way.
  • This bolded bit here. I text Boyfriend and don't expect to hear back every single text.It's very possible he may have just thought "Oh that's cool" and never thought to comment otherwise. Instead of automatically assuming that he's ignoring or brushing off what you've sent him, just ask him. "Hey did you get my text…
  • Bake some apples (here's a healthy recipe:http://www.skinnytaste.com/2010/09/delightfully-baked-apples.html), slice the apples into wedges when cool. Combine strawberries,blueberries, and raspberries into a bowl, smooshing slightly so juices run out but not crushing the fruit. You can toss in a bit of sugar if you wish but…
  • The notion of drinking 8 glasses of water a day is a very old theory that's dated back as far as the 1790's. How much water should you drink? How ever thirsty you are. The majority of water we should be consuming should come from fruits and vegetables, not plastic bottles. If you're thirsty then drink up, if that means…
  • My first kiss was when I was 21, in the car saying goodbye to not-yet-boyfriend as he dropped me home. I was nervous and scared out of my mind, I had the door open so I could bolt if it didn't end well. I kissed him, awkwardly, and after a moment we just kinda sat there and he said "What's that door open for? get back here…
  • Try green peppers as well. A bit of egg would hold things together nicely. Maybe add a bit more onion and keep them in larger slices to get more flavor from them. Add salt,pepper, a decent amount of paprika and cayenne pepper. Measure out a small dash of Kikkoman stir fry sauce-just enough to lightly coat everything and…
  • I drink the slim fast 3-2-1 milk chocolate shake, I simply couldn't afford a giant $9 tub of protein powder and this drink supplies with me other vitamins I am lacking in as well as the carbs, fat, protein, and sodium. It is however, relatively high in sugar. So be aware of that one. If I mix it together like normal…
  • If you cut out calories you'll lose weight even without exercise. Example. Say it takes you 2000 calories to maintain your current weight and for the sake of argument say you live a mostly sedentary lifestyle. Take away 500 calories to get 1500 calories for what you should be maintaining to lose weight even if you stay…
  • Regardless if you personally feel like you could laugh it off, there is absolutely NO reason to berate another woman for feeling nervous and wanting to go elsewhere. A woman's sexual health is of utmost importance and in a time where we are constantly fighting to get the basic care we need a woman should always feel safe…
  • Is it any surprise that people become so obsessed and filled with frightening beliefs when the media is telling us everything in the world is going to kill us? Every fad diet on the planet totes that eating this but not that will make you lose weight while another contradicts that entirely. It's no wonder that people…
  • By keeping yourself full. Have a breakfast that will keep you filled up longer, something like oatmeal with fruit or an omelette with some veggies. Bring some almonds to munch on if you feel like you need a pick me up, or something like the Special K fruit crisps (they're two bars per package and the entire package is only…
  • I'd probably be too embarrassed to go back to him. I am sure that it's completely reasonable that he had a 'brain fart' and it was just a completely inappropriate and badly timed moment - but it is equally possible that he was making commentary on her body and that is not in anyway reasonable. If this was a doctor the…
  • The comments about her getting married while other people are single are so completely unnecessary it's not even funny anymore. This woman has since ended her marriage and begun to lose weight. She spoke to the press about how she got into the extreme eating as part of a fetish website where men paid to view her eating via…
  • Honestly I find it degrading to begin with. They post pictures of generic cookie cutter people that are fitting into a single small frame of what is beautiful. They're telling me to strive to look like a thin white woman with blonde hair and blue eyes, they're telling me what is acceptable to look like, and I will never…
  • I am basically doing the same things we where taught in gym class, that I was doing in yoga, and that Boyfriend has taught me from his years in martial arts. Lately I have been sadly slacking off with what I normally do and suspect a developing ear infection may be to blame for my current lethargy, here's what I do at…
  • I would go off what the company website says. A lot of food products on MFP are added by individuals and may not be verified. They can also be tailored to what that individual is putting on their food. 700 calories is likely reflecting someone's personal built sandwich and not what the meal would normally be made with. Use…
  • Best of luck for the both of you :flowerforyou:
  • Dating long-term committed, talking engagement within the year...money permitting! :drinker:
  • If you feel deep down that it's best for you to avoid putting yourself into certain situations, then you have every right to do what you feel is best. However, you cannot possibly avoid social eating situations the rest of your life and eating healthy long-term is going to be about you learning to control yourself and take…
  • Personally I follow the belief that a reasonable adult can consume foods they would normally eat, if they practice good portion control and don't make it a daily habit to chose high fat or high sugar foods. You could pick one day out of the week where you have dessert with your dinner for example. While cutting out sugars…
  • You have clearly worked so so hard, and you look stunning. Congratulations on all that hard work, 21lbs in 10 weeks? That's quite an accomplishment and you should be very proud of yourself!
  • I am relatively sure it's a misguided attempt to motive women by comparing ourselves to a generic standard of beauty. It's not working very well. :huh:
  • This is not the cookie you are looking for. It is a lie, a fantasy created by the mind, there was never any cookie in the first place. Do not let it fool you. Within it's crumbly confines lays only suffering and discord.
