In March of 2008, just before my 50th birthday, my psychiatrist told my family doctor that I had an "issue with alcohol". This hadn't been true for quite some time and I was very angry at the spread of misinformation. I decided to give up what little drinking I was still doing completely. I wanted to be able to say,…

The October 5 pound challenge worked for me. I'd like to be in the November for another 5. Thanks.

It's 12:30 am on the West Coast of North America and I'm just on my way to bed. :yawn: Tomorrow's a work day. :sad:

Near Vancouver, BC. I can always use more support, encouragement, and inspiration (and I can give it, too, I hope) so add me.

1. Split amicably? We work at it mostly successfully. 2. Kill each other? (Hey, Guard. I'm not sure if my internet is working!) 3. Divorce due to cheating? No, it was a 30-year marriage of emotional (not physical) violence / abuse. 4. Regret decision? Not at all. Should have done it long ago. (Actually tried twice.) 5.…

Oh, yes! I could give / use the encouragement. :happy:

Hey, thanks for this thread 'cause I was wondering what NSV stood for. I had no idea. :huh: My non-scale victories include being able to tighten my belt another notch (since I purchased this belt in the last four weeks or so), having people notice that my clothes don't fit as tightly, and being able to bend down and pick…

Part of the mindset problem is in thinking that we have to "force" ourselves to give up junk, fast, and processed food in favour of healthy foods. If we can keep in mind the overwhelming benefits of healthy, wholesome foods that can be made into delicious meals, then there is no question of having to force ourselves to…

A well-respected author on food topics, Michael Pollan, has a book entitled "In Defense of Food: An Eater's Manifesto". The introduction begins... Eat food. Not too much. Mostly plants. The author criticizes the Western diet and its focus on nutrients instead of foods. The book holds promise for those of us hoping to lose…

My Heinz organic ketchup says "refrigerate after opening". I always obey Heinz! :laugh: My organic, all-natural peanut butter does not say it has to be refrigerated after opening. PTL. :wink:

The Naam Natural Foods Restaurant Famous Miso Gravy (available in stores, at least in the Vancouver, BC area) :tongue: :happy:

I'm Canadian, too, eh? From BC near Vancouver. Send me a friend request. :flowerforyou:

I had breast cancer (and a mastectomy) just before my 21st birthday. I'm now 54 years old, over 33 years cancer free! I was fortunate not to need radiation or chemotherapy. And I was able to breastfeed my two children (not twins!) a few years after surgery. I count my blessings but continue to go for routine tests. My…

March 31 (end of many-a fiscal year!) :smile:

Hey, I'm Canadian, too, eh? Are there any Canadians from the West Coast? Lower Mainland to be exact. As you can see from my ticker I just joined tonight but MFP is one of the tools in my getting-healthier toolkit. I'm feeling inspired and motivated. I hope that stays because it's a long journey that I have ahead of me! But…
