This may be the most accurate description of me moving that I've ever read. And because I turn a lovely shade of red/purple when I exert myself at all, it just adds to the overall attractiveness I don't feel when I'm at the gym. But here's the great thing. With earbuds in and my music playing, it's like there is a screen…

That was beautiful. Also kale, it's not one of my good things.

We don't. It's actually unicorn rainbows leaving us.

I found it completely inspirational and motivational.

Santa is right. It could be a motivation issue. But that's different than clinical depression. Talk to your doctor: simple bloodwork can give you a handle on a lot including vitamin D deficiency. Your doctor would be in a better position to help you figure out if it's a chemical imbalance or not. Motivation can be tricky…

I like you.

^^This.

Or you could do what I did and adopt. All the awesome without adding a soul.

These threads are always fun to read early in the morning.

Cheap entertainment. Also you get to play with toys again and no one looks at you funny.

Are you better and badder than you were yesterday? Then it's a WIN. In this area, feelings are liars and don't tell the truth.

As Nancy said. This is how my brain generally works: It's 5:30 am on Saturday. My bed is warm and comfortable. The alarm goes off. I slam the snooze, swear quietly inside my head and pause to notice how much I like sleeping and the dream I was just having. Alarm goes off again. I slam it off, swear again and then note that…

GREAT for you! Your story is inspiring and your struggle has made you stronger.

^^ This. Little steps everyday.

I agree that this is a fairly brilliant way to answer the question without telling a lie. Also tells you the shop assistant knows the truth.

Don't you think "It's the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown" and "A Charlie Brown Christmas" are better than "The Charlie Brown Thanksgiving Special"? On the basis of Charlie Brown cartoons, I'd want to go straight from Halloween to Christmas, but I treasure my family/food coma day so I'm not ready to follow the AMA's plan just…

Can't we do both?

^^ This. Strength to you as you support Kian and your family.

Fear of dying too soon. Honestly. That was it. I started by changing what I packed for lunch. It's easy to make better choices for tomorrow's lunch when you're at home and have just shoved food into your face for dinner. Then tomorrow, at lunch (assuming you left your cash at home) you have no choice but to eat the crappy…

Isn't it awesome that each day we get to start again and make different decisions than the day before? One food based binge isn't going to destroy you. And if you felt horrible as a result of it, chances are you might make a different decision next time. Win.

Is it because you don't like the taste? What is your definition of "good" food? What do you like? What is it about your old food that you feel like you need to let go of it? Start with what you like and if it is laden with calories/fat/whatever you don't want, google a new way to fix it. Keep tweaking the recipe til you…

Really? Fun size = 8 m&ms? That is so few I would cry. That's just wrong. Parent tax = Brilliance. Mine are stealing from me because I buy a better class of candy than the trick-or-treat mess. The bargaining will commence this evening. One kit kat for one completed laundry load. You want a full sized candy bar? Go pick up…

Too simple to understand; no big words included. Therefore MUST be wrong. And Snoflehk, let me PM you my bank account info.

While it is true that sugar is of the Devil as are potatoes, every once in a while you have to give your regular diet a shock or a break, so that your body will be surprised by the next thing you put into your face. You don't want to plateau, do you? After a day or so of sugar and sodium, you can then return to your…

I think you need to find a new Sonic.

cauliflower disguised as something else. Organ food.

This is true. Average moms go to Target or send their kids out in a "hobo" costume. Out you go.

On the weekends I go out about 6 or 6:30 in the morning. None of my family wants to go with me then. It's a win/win. Teenagers get to sleep later, I get some solitary time with my music and my own thoughts.

What they said. There are some idiots here. There are some crazies here. You'll discover them soon enough. But there are also some amazing, generous, and utterly fabulous people here too. Seek these people out. You've got this, because now you want it. Just keep after it and you'll get to where you want to be. And a year…

There once was a fart deep within, who thought that to stay was a sin, till he found him a groove, and from a _noob_ he did move, left all us wondering where he had been.
