I'm from a family of four. Three of us work hard and one of us is lazy, perpetually unemployed and totally ambitionless. So how has he maintained his lifestyle? By playing on my parents guilt which results in them enabling him. Both players are at fault here but you can't control his actions only your own. Give him his…

what those wise ladies said and also don't hide it! there is NO SHAME in being depressed. i think i'm going to go out and spray paint that across the front of my house. it effects so many people at one time or other and the most destructive thing we do is hide it - this is what creates the stigma. imagine hiding the fact…

profiteroles can be ok if you're clever about what you stuff them with and portion control on the sauce. flavoured creme-fresh or yohgurt or soy ice cream that sort of thing. i think with all desserts portion control is the thing. also sorbet is lo-cal but i dont' have a recipe.

i didn't read the other posts but maybe you could give yourself some rewards with the money you save from fast food? you could book yourself a cooking lesson/demonstration? do like people do when they're giving up smoking and put all the money into a jar daily, as you would have spent it and watch it piling up!
