Don't let it win! I don't know about others, but when I am consistent with my exercise and eating nutritious foods, I feel better mentally. I have OCD and social anxiety, so I'm very shy in public, very insecure, and stress tends to cause flair ups. I'm lucky my OCD hasn't started up yet, but I'm taking preventative…

I am in a similar place as you. Married for thirteen years. Told my husband two months ago I wanted a divorce. We're seeing the mediator next week to get this going. The stress this has caused me, while for an end result that I want, has resulted in lots of emotional eating for me. I gained ten lbs over the summer as a…

That can easily backfire as well. For example-Unos. I noticed on their website that many of the dishes' nutrition info is for one serving-but when you look closer the entire plate of food is listed as two servings, so you need to be aware to double everything. Suddenly your 600 calorie plate of pasta is now 1200 calories.

Until you modify your opinion on food, you will struggle with keeping a healthy weight. Moreso, the health consequences of eating foods that are fried, high in saturated fat, and loaded with sugar. Plenty of people are happy eating healthier alternatives and remain within a calorie alottment. But realistically, this is why…

I am right there with you. I initiated the divorce but it's doesn't make it any easier. I ate my way through the summer and put on 10 lbs, which is alot when you're 5 ft tall! So I'm trying to tighten up my eating and exercising. Rational me knows it's not healthy to stuff my face with fried food and cookies when I'm sad…

I'm almost done with level 19 and STILL have never gotten a 10k egg. I'm getting very very frustrated.

edited because zombie thread. D'oh!

That is waaaay too much for the same stuff I can do at my own gym, PLUS using things like a pool, spinning classes, etc. I'll keep my $30/mo membership thank you.

I can't tell if you're serious or not...

The Risperdal is not for OCD, in fact antipsychotics are known to aggravate OCD. Are you seeing a Primary care doctor or a psychiatrist?

Not my squirrel story but my ex's...I guess one day I was leaving for work and didn't latch the front door properly. He'd fallen asleep on the couch. He woke up to the sound of one of our cats tearing through the house upstairs, looks at the front hallway...and sees a squirrel run full speed down the stairs and out the…

When I was in undergrad, I almost got caught up with a knife company MLM. I had gone for a week of "training", given them a check to buy my own set, and started to call my friends to give them the sales pitch. Then I panicked when I realized how STUPID it all was, went back and demanded my check back. Wow, were they…

Rochester here!

I need to go to a support group for my dairy use. Last night I sold my last oreos for some 2% in the back alley.

How can you be serious? Do you have any scientific references to give us?

I'm introverted, but that's just how to I choose to recharge, it's not the reason I am awkward. THAT is because I am an anxious person. I am introverted because I like my alone time, I prefer smaller groups, and I get overstimulated by too much going on around me (like loud bars or parties). Give me my close friends and a…

I'm 5 ft 2 and if I was 120 I'd be healthy. It's not obese, not even overweight. It's in the normal range, I can't imagine why they did that!

Chocolate covered bacon?

OMG, I hear that commercial on the radio all the time and I have to change the channel! That line about the rotting food and toxic sludge always makes me laugh, but then I realize that people are actually believing them!

"Pushing fat in other areas" is not physically possible, without plastic surgery.

Be careful on youtube, there are lots of really bad workouts out there with horrible form. Unfortunately, that includes fitness blender, although I love them for everything else. I would second the Sarah Lurie recommendation. Another good DVD instructor is Lauren Brooks.

Just starting one, married 13 years. :-(

Your son looks like Dan Reynolds (Imagine Dragons).

Wait, you're not trying to recover from alcohol or opiate addiction? Then you don't need a detox.

This is not an attack, so please don't take it like one...but looking at your food diary, you might want to take a look at your own nutrition before giving out advice to others. It looks like you're eating two meals a day and a bunch of snacks, skipping dinner often, and not always even eating 1200. I don't know how tall…

Do you have some sort of certification? What type of education do you have?

As a fellow OCD sufferer and someone who works in the mental health field, I will say that the bolded part is not how OCD works. You can't really focus it to be positive, because that's against the nature of the illness. Someone with OCD will have intrusive, unwanted thoughts, and engage in compulsive behaviors to make…

Wouldn't that be taken care of by our lungs, not our livers?
