It started with where I went wrong. I was in a relationship with someone who was a feeder. He would practically force me to eat so that I would be fatter because he didn't want other men to find me attractive. After several years together and a very brief and unpleasant stunt being married (that's when the real agenda came…

Honestly, a surprising number of women don't know how to interact with men on a polite and friendly level except to be flirtatious. So, in an attempt to not make you feel shut down or belittled, they go way overboard and act like alien invaders pretending to be humans. These women are not to be mistaken for the ones who…

Thanks guys! BTW, I'm totally wearing those pants for the rest of the week.

Wow, I never thought of using something like Nutrisystem to make the leap into losing weight without having to worry about your meals. Clever girl! I use a lot of tricks to make my calories go further for their flavor (a large number of which involve how to sneak in lots of veggies without ruining old favorites so I can…

#1 -- Try upping your protein intake, and cutting refined sugars. Not carbs in general, but sweeteners. I looked at your diary, and you have a couple (very moderate and understandable!) refined foods each day usually. The problem with refined sugars is that not all sugar is equal. Fructose, the sweet sugar (and a big part…

Ugh! Sugar is ADDED to 80+% of the products in our stores. Before going after soda, which everyone knows is unhealthy and loaded with sugar, why doesn't the government start cracking down on food labeling regulation for sugar containing products? Why don't they stop letting companies proport any kind of "healthy" claims…

Nordstrom, seriously. They can help you find cute, incredibly odd sized bras, and they know how each brand fits. It's the only place my mom (who is in the 40's band size and very busty) and I (a 32DD) can both find comfortable bras. I fell deeply in love with their bra department when I found out that they actually carry…

I fully agree! I live in the US, and went once to buy jeans at American Eagle. I was in high school still, so I was really excited to buy the pants that so many girls liked. I've never even looked twice at a pair of pants in that store again. The sales lady sent me to the dressing room with a total of four pairs of pants.…

The closer you are to a healthy goal, the harder you have to work to get it. This is because your body isn't looking at that five pounds as five pounds of 'extra', it's looking at it as a percentage of your body mass as a whole. So, every one percent of your body mass is the same difficulty to drop, but that one percent is…

My ex-husband was extremely unsupportive to me losing the weight I put on after we started dating (guess who was always putting yummy muchies under my nose). I finally sat down with him one day and asked him to just listen to what I had to say, and that he wasn't supposed to talk until I was done. I explained that I was…

5'5" and my goal is 125lbs. I've been in the 120-130lb range most of my adult life and been very happy there. Currently I'm at 139 and with my small frame and tendency to carry all my weight in my butt and thighs I just look pudgy right now--and have cellulite that absolutely keeps me from wearing a bathing suit in public.…

Exercise is the number one key, and it really does need to be weights or something like high impact aerobics that challenge your muscles beyond just the big ones. Minor muscles, and even the muscle in the skin (that's what causes goose bumps, it's very different from skeletal muscle) will be what gives you the very firm,…
