  • I am so sorry. My heart is just breaking for you. I went through this same thing with my cat last summer. I went away on vacation and when I came back my baby girl was refusing to eat. Two weeks later I had to put her down with lymphoma. It just all happened so fast. It was the hardest decision of my life, but in the end…

  • Mine was I bought new pants to bring to my brother's graduation. I didn't try them on first, because they were the same size that I *thought* I was wearing at the time. Turns out I must have stretched mine out a lot since they were old. I didn't bring any other clothes, so I had to wear the pants that pretty much didn't…

  • Chilled black bean salad! Sooo delicious in the summer. I usually eat a cup of it (about 200 calories) with a can of tuna or salmon for lunch. This recipe makes a ton of it, so you'd probably want to halve it. I used canned beans, but you can just cook the beans and throw them in. 2 15oz cans black beans (low sodium) 2…

  • I have a hard time trusting nutrition from fast food restaurants, or really anywhere food is prepared for me. It all depends on preparation - if the food they tested calories at had exactly one tbsp of mayo, but the 16 year old kid in the kitchen is slathering on a bucket load, the actual calories you're eating are going…

  • Just finished my second run! That wasn't so bad.. Haha. I downloaded the Endomondo app, so I can track distance and route as well. It syncs with MFP which is nice. Laurie, that should be in caps!! 2013 is The Year!!! :) Thanks for the add!

  • Agreed. I have some sort of event going on every weekend. It's too much; I have to pick one a month that I can "have fun" at. Actually, I have fun at all of them. Eating so much I'm sick isn't really much fun.

  • Regardless of whether you have problems with GMO foods, Monsanto is a company with poor ethics. I shun their products where I find them for this reason only.

  • Yes; both physical and emotional, but mostly emotional. I was with him for too long, and let him get to me too much. Now it's been ten years and I'm still too afraid to trust other people. I'm working on it, but for a long time I just tried to ignore it. Doesn't really go away. Walk away now. It'll be the best damn…

  • Well... your other option is to eat whatever the hell you want, drink whatever you want, get diabetes and die young. Is that more appealing than going to the gym? Maybe it is; to each their own! Or maybe you're comfortable at your current weight and feel you can happily maintain. More power to you! But something must have…

He roots for me during my bad weeks and goes crazy over my victories (literally picking me up and swinging me around!). My brother is probably my second biggest motivator.…

  • This always makes me feel better: Hey, Fat Girl. Yes, you. The one feigning to not see me when we cross paths on the running track. The one not even wearing sports gear, breathing heavy. You’re slow, you breathe hard and your efforts at moving forward make you cringe. You cling shyly to the furthest corridor, sometimes…

  • I know someone who is orthorexic. It began when he started researching the paleo diet and transformed into an extreme eating disorder where he doesn't eat any fat or carbs, at all. It's clearly detrimental because he has physically degenerated quite a bit. He looks ill all the time and has no energy, but can't be persuaded…

    in Why do people weigh themselves so much? Comment by literatelier March 2013
  • I don't pay attention to MFP calories at all - I eat 750 - 1000 calories below what my FitBit estimates my TDEE is. However, doing this I am always under MFP calories (unless I ignore both numbers!!!) because the FitBit will sync and my MFP calories adjust. In other words, if your MFP calories go up because of your FitBit,…

  • I've had huge white streaks since I was 14, luckily under my part so when I wear my hair down you can't see them. But I stopped coloring when I was 18, and since then my whole head has gone a lot more salt and pepper. I've always had people tell me how "cool" my hair is. Sometimes I think about dyeing it again, mostly…
