When I drink a lot of water I feel better. I feel more engergetic. When I'm running, I will usually stop at a halfway point and down a bottle of water. After the water settles, I feel like I could run another mile. It also helps me prevent bloating.

I always go over on protein. That's the only one I go over on but I don't really get cravings for sugary things or carbs. Protein though, is a big one.

He knew I liked black diamonds and old looking things. My engagement was a complete surprise. He picked out the ring which was a black diamond in an antique looking setting. To be fair, his mom apparently helped him shop. My mother in law is a lot like me so she knew my style. We picked our wedding bands out together. They…

No kidding! I have clothes in everything from a dress that is a size 4 to a pair of jeans that is a size 12. And the kicker is, the dress and jeans are by the same designer! It's a wonder we don't all go mad trying to shop.

Thanks ladies!

Anyone? :/

Yeah. I ride the subway in a major city every day. This could be anyone lol

No, I don't care what kind of car someone drives. My favorite cars are classic hot rods and classic hearses.

No. It absolutely should NOT be a protected class. Unless there is a medical cause, like a thyroid problem than being fat is not a disability. As someone with a legit disability(autism), this kind of thing just annoys me.

Depends how you look at it. For some people, me included, it motivates me to HAVE will power.

Well, I don’t care about the rest of your reasons for losing weight but I personally want to be thin and care about being thin and I have no issues admitting it. I totally agree with this statement. I’ve had plenty of tasty foods but I’d rather be thin than eat them.

I'm the only one who needs to lose weight in my house. Well, me and a couple of our pets. My husband is in great shape and is one of those humans who can eat anything he wants and not gain weight. Lucky him.

Irritated by a guy clearing his throat every 5 seconds.... Day made when my ferret Grapes fell asleep on me (see my profile pic)

No, it's not Dale. But it's clearly Dale's evil twin. I think this guy should get together with the 47 year old woman we used to have who spent her days (on the phone with clients) popping bubble gum like an angsty tweenage girl...

had to come back and find the pet peeve post... because out of all of the many fine peeves at IvysHumans Home For Wayward Peeves, I think the biggest one is happening right now: Currently listening to this nasty guy a few desks away clearing his throat loudly every 5 seconds. It's pretty nasty. I think he has tubercolosis…

Similar: love animals, esp. ferrets love weird things, like B movies and dark art love Japan and Japanese stuff love a lot of the same foods very little tolerance for drama Different: He is more emotional than I am I am more talkative than he is He is a die hard sports fan, I could care less I care about politics, he…

I don't really think it's the age so much as that they are probably more established in life, have better jobs, are more comfortable with themselves. Way less drama with older men too.

Most rx drugs have the added side effect of weight gain. You don't want to mess with them. I was on all kinds of anti-depressents but they are the reason I got fat in the first place. I felt a lot better when I stopped taking them.

You need to give yourself time and space. Eventually you will be able to be friends with him but the day after you break up is probably not the ideal time to be buddies.

Anti depressents. That ish will blow you up 30+ lbs in a matter of months. I stopped taking them. Strangely, after I stopped taking them and started losing weight, I felt less depressed. Go figure.

When I adopted him from the shelter. <3

Awesome! Great to know. Thanks guys!

I lived with my ex bf for years after we broke up. The difference is we were, and still are very good friends and he treats me with the respect he would give any friend. Your ex does not treat you with respect or as a friend. Therefore, he is not setting a very good example for your child. I would pack up and get my kid…

It depends on what you call flirting. I say this because I know some women who flip the bleep right out if their man even talks to another female, which I think is ridiculous. Talking does not equal flirting. Even talking about serious or deep topics doesn’t equal flirting. Talking to their ex doesn’t equal flirting.…

I’ll pretty much talk to anyone because you really can’t tell much until you start talking to someone. But in order for me to keep talking to them they must: Must be kind to animals. Must take care of their children if they have any. Must treat women with respect. Must be capable of taking care of themselves.

Maybe I’m missing something but it sounded like she was just trying to suggest that their store’s clothing doesn’t run true to size and you might want to consider another size. Nothing to do with you but everything to do with how their sizes run. I don’t think she was trying to be rude.

I agree. I was flipping channels the other day and found out that the mom from Here Comes Honey Boo Boo, possibly the worst show ever, is 4 years younger than me! I was speechless.

I don't find either of them particularly attractive
