My wife is fabulous about asking me, "What do you want and how do you want me to make it?" Measures and everything. :smile: Where we differ is her, "Can we go for Mexican tonight?" Overall she's very understanding. If I'm going ANYWHERE, I take something. Usually, I'm terrible with temptation and end up eating 3 gooey…

Have you talked to a doctor about it? I know some people wear compression stockings to help with it, but I don't know if there is anything that really prevents it.

That does sound awesome...

I've been vegetarian for 16 years. Anyone who is interested in seeing my diary can add me. I'm not much help to the vegans, though because I do a fair amount of dairy and eggs.

That's a crazy difference for only 5 weeks. Good for you! :flowerforyou:

I kept mine closed for a long time. I used to have very disordered eating associated with crippling shame. Not everyone on MFP is nice. Or tactful. I've seen crazy stuff written on other people's diaries. I opened mine to friends when a friend asked me to. I was on MFP for more than a year before I felt comfortable with…

Mmmmmm...shopping tomorrow.

I'm just impressed that you only gained 10 pounds in nursing school! :laugh:

Yummy! I used to use them to try and bump up my protein intake. I did not find myself particularly satiated on them, though, so I tended to overeat if I started with a protein bar. Set my brain for candy bar, I think, and then I couldn't recover. They taste good for protein bars, though.

My favorite ranch is kraft light 3 cheese ranch. It's probably higher in sodium, but I usually come in under my sodium anyway, so I don't worry too much about it. Currently I'm working on a bottle of Ken's Steakhouse light ranch that is really good, too.

I'm a nurse. Also I'm a vegetarian so if the problem is tainted meat, you can rest assured that I will NOT be infected! :happy:

I have a sigma sport with the chest strap. I only wanted something to accurately monitor my calorie burn during my workout, so it suits my purposes exactly. I've had mine for a year and a half and had to change the batteries once. I got mine from Amazon for around $60.

That sounds wickedly awesome...

Planning. Planning. Planning. I spend one day making salads for my lunch for the week and menu planning. You don't have to cook elaborately to eat healthy. Shop the way you plan on eating. Take snacks with you when you're leaving the house so you won't be tempted by fast food.

On a loosely related note, Jimmy John kills elephants. I don't eat there anymore. http://www.smilepolitely.com/splog/jimmy_john_is_a_big_man._with_the_photos_to_prove_it/

I used to do factory work while I was in college. There were a group of guys who would try to argue with me that I was going to hell because I didn't eat meat. Why? Because Jesus was a fisherman. Ooooooooookaaaaaayyyyyy. I can't argue with your irrationality! :laugh:
-
That's funny in a really shocking, socially weird way. I have been a vegetarian for 15 years for moral and ethical reasons. As someone else said, I don't eat my friends. That does not give me any right to speak to your choices, though, and I only elaborate on my decision to be a vegetarian if someone asks. She's making the…

That's amazing for 2 weeks! Well, it's pretty amazing anyway, but especially for only 2 weeks. :smile:

Awesome! My sister had one and I didn't last 5 minutes! Although I was less fit at the time than now. I could maybe do 15 minutes now. :happy:

I have an arm holster for my phone and my mp3 player but I don't like it. I usually take my house key off the ring, stick it in my bra, hold my mp3 player in my hand and pray I don't get run over by a car and need medical assistance, because I can't call for any.

I cut down from like 6 cups a day to 2 most days. It was only painful because it was self denial. I started feeling better almost immediately. But you're going to have to pry the last 2 cups from my hands. I absolutely can't function without any stimulation at all.

When I first did it long ago, I was surprised at how I suddenly felt like everyone was looking at my face. It was unnerving and I wore hats often. I didn't realize how much I used my hair as a curtain to hide behind. In time I got used to having my face out all the time and was soooooooo happy at the lack of maintenance…

Saves me from going over my calories hitting the vending machine. Yes, they're tiny and processed, but if what I want is some chocolate NOW a tiny bag of chocolate covered pretzels is more reasonable than what I will end up eating if I deny myself. Also enjoyable, the chocolate covered short bread cookies. I certainly…

Wow! Great job!
-
Seriously. These are like chocolate CRACK. When I made them, I was like, yeah, they're alright for 110 calories. I'd made them again. Now I cannot wait to get home in the morning to have one before I go to bed. Mine are a hair undercooked, so it's like gooey chocolate narcotics.

Some of my best workouts are when I'm mad as hell. Put the energy into something useful and you'll feel better after you've burned it off. :)

I would have offered but you never know how people are going to react. I was watching a woman struggle to push a loaded cart through the parking lot with a toddler on her hip and another kid hanging off her other hand. I offered to push her cart to her car for her and she looked at me like I was going to eat her children.…
