Congrats on the quitting! It's not easy to do but it's the best thing you can do. Don't panic! your body is just getting used to dealing with not living on nicotine. Give it a chance to rebound from this change and keep up your healthy habits. As Dory the fish in Finding Nemo would say "Just keep swimming" I vape and use…

I don't really think that dating culture contributes towards obesity - I think it's more of what one does for recreation and diet. If you unwind on the computer or in front of the TV and eat lots of junk food or heavy food and drink sugary drinks, weight gain just happens. We cook less for ourselves and depend more on…

I was just wondering about that after my post lunch constitutional at work lol, thanks random stranger!

My sister lost her last few pounds and got the shape she wanted by seeing a trainer at her gym who got her trimmed up. If you are looking to diet them away it won't work- the last few pounds will have to be shaped onto you by sheer work

*whistles* looking good!!! :bigsmile:

All right! a derby mama!

We were playing with our camera while eating out at breakfast on Christmas eve a few years back (I think 2007?) Hubby took it.

I live in a family of ADD and ADHD people - my step daughter was diagnosed at about the age of 7 and we started her with Concerta for her school days and Ritalin in the evening at martial arts class or during special events when she needs to have the extra control and the Concerta has worn off. In the beginning we had to…

Love your quote! I am saving it in my inspiration file :drinker:

Good job! It's good to know that we'll have someone who is willing to work that hard watching over us! Semper Fi and thanks from all us here at home :)

Go girl get it get it!!

Personally, I take the cookie monster philosophy :"Cookies are a sometimes food." I am learning to eat foods that are good for me, made at home, and following a cleaner living style diet - more strictly- starting these past few weeks. I had to wean myself off fast food but after a setback last week , I decided to kick fast…

No one will notice :ohwell: There is no one who cares :sad: I can't start today :indifferent: IT'S TOO LATE :explode:

Congrats!!! I was a pack a day smoker and quit 5 years ago. I occasionally had one a few years back, and those moments made me realize I didn't like it anymore. Even used the e-cigs and didn't like keeping up the habit. After getting rid of an icky habit, it's really hard to start up again.

I just went through a phase with my hubby where we didn't know if we wanted to be together. I am glad we had our differences worked out - and I decided to live how I want to If I might put in my 2 cents if it's time to go, it's time to go. Start an exit strategy if you haven't already, give yourself a safety net for…

[quote/]As of now- the only contact I really have with her is when I am there to see my Nieces and Nephew. She'll ask how I am etc. but I keep the chit-chat to a minimum and I don't get too deep into what I am doing with my life. She has def given me my share of reasons to not even bother. It's so hard to understand why…

okaay now I totally binged on Thursday at the movies - I had a LARGE popcorn - I ate like almost a whole jar of Butter Toffee Almonds and a bag of raisinets. Lesson learned : eat a good meal before you go to the movies or you will eat whatever you get your hands on

You have to be your own best friend- at least for now! It's hard when someone has to compare themselves to you in order to feel self-esteem. But she puts you down because if you don't change then she doesn't have to change too, and maybe she is giving you a back handed compliment - if you are strong then she can rely on…

When I was young I used to weigh myself obsessively and after awhile I gave up because I never felt I could live up to the standard a scale would set for me - in my own messed up way of thinking I gave up not taking care of my weight. :brokenheart: I weigh everyday to make sure I am staying on track but I decided to only…

No binges on my diet days this past week... Yay! I also changed how I kept track of my calories to something more in line with my work schedule has helped immensely. I was tracking for each 24 hour day instead of starting before my work shift (I work nights) and it threw off my count,. I found I wasn't eating to…

Okay I lost a battle on 7/8/2012 - I ate 2 big cookies from the vending machine. I had already prepared a lunch and ate it but I was still jonesing for a big @$$ cookie! arrgh Me: 7 days Binge monster: 2

For my nervous system I take fish oil as recommended by my dr I also started taking potassium since its good for nerves and heart function (family history) . Same with CoQ10: my family has high cholesterol and heart disease plus my dad may or may not have Parkinson's (he won't say if he has it or not, just that he takes…

The public toidy is not the place to leave your mouth flapping :-P Serves him right for carrying on a convo in the bathroom - if you don't want to taste it then don't use the phone

For me the reasons just all blend into each other - it's hard to unpack without being so boring :-P Some of it was poor eating habits gone awry - my home life as a teen f'ed me up, then a few bad relationships accepted as an alternative to loneliness, then a divorce, being broke and not eating enough and going into…

July 1st Winning 0 Binge monster: 1 I seem to binge at least twice a week, when I go out to eat with hubby :( I need to plan better

Good work! You are an inspiration to me, I am just starting out and I have as much weight as you to lose.... Keep up the good work!

Nice name Sarah! (My name is Sarah as well!) I am looking to make friends to keep pushing myself to the next level.
