Are there any healthy/healthier items? Ex: shrimp cocktaiL? Also, can you eat bfst before you go so your not starving when you get there? Also, make sure you drink a lot of water to help you......

I see that you are 20 and unfortunately it shows because you think people ONLY talk to your co-worker because of the way they look. It is unfortunate that you're so insecure. Why don't you take the initiative to speak w/your co-workers instead of waiting for them. Also, do nice things for others and it will come back to…

I wouldn't eat back so many calories (reduce it in half and see what happens). I am not eating back calories and I am losing. When I ate back calories, I didn't lose. Do what works for you. Eating back calories is NOT working......

You are not alone! Happy Birthday and have some cake and ice cream for me too!

I agree that you are receiving a lot of negative comments. However, you state in your topic title, "daily" - that means every day. People are concerned, confused and a little irritated that you would try to eat like someone who has an unhealthy eating disorder. Unfortunately, negative comments are not going to help you.

I'm a little confused as to why you "expected" them to take your security deposit. Did you leave the place a mess so that they would take it? Did you not pay the last month rent? That is a lot of money to be willing to "give away" if you took care of the place adequately. I would not be willing to allow the landlord to…

Don't go to the restaurant starving! Make sure you eat before you go and start wth a salad and then entree and share a dessert. I don't know anyone who has weight issues because of one meal! After the celebration dinner, go back to healthier eating decisions.

Sweetpeaob3- strawberries and blueberries are super expensive - the poor girl wants to eat, not starve!! Yes, they may be healthy, but there are other fruits to eat that are cheaper. I don't believe suggesting expensive fruits is what she is looking for......

To MeMyCatsandI-where in the world did you get toddler from????

Hi from another Barb - yes, I have had great difficulty losing weight since I am older. Very frustrating. I find that my calorie restriction is much more aggresive now than in the past. And even with this restriction, the weight does not come off easily.

When I was in middle school, I was aware of myself and what my peers would think. If I got sweaty, It would mean my hair would get wet too. This meant my hair would be a mess. We were not given blow dryers or enough time to fix our hair so therefore we would not want to get sweaty enough where it would mess up our hair. If…

If you're crazy, then so am I!!!

I had a corgi, but she died from cancer. She was the best dog ever!!!

Would you be willing to share your food diary? Maybe your not eating enough and then feel the need to over eat. It is difficult to overcome food issues you may have had for years. When I was a kid, we got one meal a day! So at dinner, I would eat and eat until I could not put another bite in my mouth - afterall, I wasn't…

If you're the only one who eats them, take them and throw them away.

Are you sure the amount of calories burned through exercise is correct? What are you using to get this? Since your weight is not high, you would have to exercise crazy and for long periods of time to burn that many calories.

Great discussion thread!! I've had this happen too. Drives me nuts, but so glad I'm not alone!!

Why can't you tell the person who gave them to you that they are too big????? Then have the person either give you the receipt or find out which store they were purchased at. Since it is an exchange, and many stores know that you might not have a receipt this time of year, they will accept them as long as you are getting…

Yikes! That border lines cruelty. Unfortunately, that is a tough one. Is there another place that the food can be moved? If so, you could you just move it? Also, when there is a potluck, could you bring something in to share with the potluck? It sounds like you are alienating yourself from your co-workers (I understand…

$100,000 in Playboy in a heart beat - They're going to hide/fix all of your imperfections before the pictures are sent out anyway!!!

How did I do it? First, I asked myself, "how bad do you want it?", If I went back to bed, then it was - "not enough". Also, although it is tough in the beginning, you will actually have increased energy from working out. I also focused on 1 day at a time. So, for today only, I am going to work out for 15 minutes 3 x week.…

I think abs are sexy on both men and women!

You look fantastic and you should be doing this for you not so your "more" datable. However, I understand the need to want to be attractive to others. How about if you joined some social clubs through your church or volunteer? Keep yourself busy and you won't focus so much on a boyfriend. Good luck and don't let this bring…

Looking quickly at your diary, you consume a lot of calories and a lot of carbs......

I think my opnions differ from all of these posts in that I don't understand why most of responders think that a justification is needed. As soon as you give a person a response, you are giving the person ammunition. Don't bother. Any time someone asks me why I'm eating something, I just look at them like I'm confused.…

When asked, "why are you eating popcorn"? Ask, "Why do you ask"?

I have to partly agree with the man's comment. I have many female family members and friends who think, well I got my husband so I don't have to care or worry about what I look like. Or I've heard, "oh heck, it's too hard so why bother". I don't agree at all. However, I am happily married and want to look/feel good for ME…

Sounds like he needs emotional help. If he's not willing to go to a counselor, go alone - you certainly need it because you are allowing someone to abuse you. If nothing changes, the behavior is not going to change. Was he in the war? Maybe he can get help through the Marines - that would be a good start.

Yikes, you're a nurse?? You sound so angry, I feel bad for your patients. But what does you being a nurse have to do with anything? Does that mean you automatically know about weight loss and the best way to do it?

You could be taking more time off too, you choose not to.
