I have this just about everyday. I had my surgery in August 2012 and I still feel like a fat girl ALL THE TIME. the think i have the hardest thing with is recognizing or knowing what to do if a guy flirts with me. I still look around to see who he is looking at, but no-one looks at me. Because I was fat since before…

Mix together in bowl and refrigerate until cold. It thickens almost immediately.

new thing for me is easy and very high in protein 1 box Jello sugar free (your choice of flavor) 1 c skim or 1% milk 1/2 cup greek non-fat yogurt 1/2 cup fat free ricotta I call it Jello Mousse. It hits the sweet spot, full of protein to fill you up. Am currently eating cheesecake flavor but have used chocolate, pistachio,…

Jalapeno Powder?//Why have I NEVER heard of this? Need to find. I use siracha like most people use ketchup.

Me too! Especially when it's on the iPod while I'm on elliptical machine at gym. So embarrassing.

Someone Like You by Adele. This song was huge on the radio when my fiancee died of an unexpected heart attack in 2011. The lines "I hate to turn up out of the blue uninvited But I couldn't stay away, I couldn't fight it. I had hoped you'd see my face and that you'd be reminded That for me it isn't over." absolutely undo…

I agree with you all and wrote this post hoping to get this much needed kick in the bum. That being said, does anyone ever feel like they are a slave to food/logging food. Since I've always been overweight and have been on forced and voluntary diets constantly since age 12 I don't know if this is "normal" for most of the…

I like the idea of carrying bacon around. When your friends/family start their vegan rant, reach into your pocket and grab a piece. Take a big bite and say, "Yuuuummmmm, Bacon. That's why" But I'm passive aggressive.

I know you are right. BLAH! If weight loss were easy, we'd all be a size 2...right? It's not even that I'm lazy so much as I am a ludite. Technology angers me while simultaneously helping me. I'm sure my ancestors millions of years ago railed against how much trouble the wheel was, and how it's just easier to walk...while…

YAY YOU!

This is behavior that will affect your results and success negatively. Talk to your support team for help. Maybe a therapist is the answer for you. Maybe yoga in the answer for you. Maybe painting, writing poetry, reading is the answer for you. Maybe singing at the top of your luings in a local park is the answer for you…

That is great. Glad you feel great. 20 lbs is amazing. Don't worry about it. But also don't expect it to continue that way forever. After my surgery I figured I'd lose 20 lbs every week and called my nutritionist in tears when it slowed to 5 lbs a week. If you feel good, don't stress. If you feel awful and can't keep food…

hello! Jump in...get your feet wet. If need help, yell.

I find that international air travel causes me serious bloat. The pressurized cabins and lack of movement for 17 hours from China does me in. Never mind the sleep deprivation and jet lag. Don't beat yourself up...just get back on wagon. Also, I'm so jealous. I miss the food in China (most of it) and could totally go for…

you have had MAJOR surgery. Your body is healing. Healing takes TONS of energy. Being tired two weeks out is completely normal. I remember being up for 2 or 3 hours and just crashing for a 1 to 2 hour nap several times a day. If your surgeon performed via laproscopic surgery your wounds are visible to you...but I assure…

This is the primary reason I have told no-one about my WLS except immediate family, SO and 2 friends. I will tell strangers, like salespeople trying to help me find new clothes for my new body. But never ever tell anyone who might voice a crappy opinion. I spent my ENTIRE life being judged for being overweight. I REFUSE to…

Maotai from China. It tastes like jet fuel...and not in a good way. If you are on business in China. Try to avoid, I could not successfully avoid 7 out of 10 business dinners. So awful. So GD awful. A rancid, fermented flowers odor with the texture of thin corn syrup and taste of putrified jasmine flowers and…

The ginger dressing available in the refriderated product section is awesome and very very low in calories and fat. Just like the dressing you get at Japanese steakhouses. Yummy.

garlic, chickpeas, fresh mint, fresh parsley, feta, tomatoes, scallions, seeded cucumber and a touch of greek-style dressing. More veggies...less veggies is your choice.

I've lost 16lbs in 2013 total. I'm 25 lbs from goal. My Nutritionist suggested increasing my calories but not specifically my protein. Over the holidays i've take a break...but am back on target again. Over last month I've lost 2 lbs. So that feels pretty good. I had an evaluation with a trainer last night. He was arrogant…

Great work...add me if you need friends.

My cable system offers free exercise stuff. I have found kids love to do yoga. And they are darm good at it with thier elastic little limbs. :) Also, just put on the radio to your (or the kid's) favorite music and have a dance party. Pick up your child, swing them around and boogie your little bottoms off. Another game…

"So sorry...I know i know you from someplace, but I just can't place you" I said this to a guy i went on a couple of dates with and slept with. I really didn't remember him. I thought he might have been a friend of my roommate. OOPS!

It's harder everyday to lose weight for me 16months from surgery. I stopped tracking during Holidays but maintained at 175 lbs. I am back on the train now, logging and excercising and making good food choices. I am really weird about weighing though. I will only weigh first thing in AM, before my shower after using the…

I loke the greek yogurt based dressing that are normally found in the salad area of my grocery store. Less calories and less chemicals.

When I used to work retail for Levi's there was a 560 jean that was athletic cut with straight leg. Which means same as 501 (button fly) or 505 (zipper fly) in waist and hips but with larger thigh and straight from kee down. I used to fit these on many New England Patriots players including my regular customer Vinny Brown.…

Agreed the 4 year old shouldn't cook for him/her self. The 20 year old should be more than capable.

I lived on hummus, buffalo chicken dip (ff cream cheese, canned chicken, yougurt based blue cheese dressign and franks sauce), guacamole, refried beans and greek yogurt. I tolerated hot sauce right away, thank goodness, and added it to everything. I never could eat anything from the blender if it wasn't the consistancy I…
