Wow... I know a bit of how you feel... I had some serious sadness when I moved out of the house I shared with my ex. I can totally relate to the feelings of loss of identity and feeling like you're drifting. I'd suggest trying to talk to a counselor. The feelings you are having sound like they go way deeper than just the…

Serena got seeded?? Oh my!! That is news! ;-p

Judging by your profile pic, I'd say you're fine. Tell your boyfriend to get a grip :-) literally and figuratively. Anyone who wouldn't "let" me out of a vehicle wouldn't be on my nice list for very long.

Excederin Migraine is currently on a recall, so you won't find it, but the generics are still available.

I used to drink two 20 oz Diet Dr. Peppers per day. One week, I just stopped buying them. I drank a TON of hot tea that week, and took a few "Mega-T" Green Tea supplements (from Wal-Mart) to help with caffeine withdrawal. Surprisingly, the caffeine withdrawal wasn't too bad. I still drink 1-2 per week, but since I don't…

102 at the moment.

Garbage truck driver. You can rock my cans any time! JK... but it fit! ETA... doesn't work when someone sneaks in ahead of you! that was for solarpower03

Yes, you are 100% correct. You are the healthiest person on MFP by far. And your thread is the absolute most original I've ever seen. A couple of hints: Screen your friends before you add them. Pick people off of forums you agree with and send them friend requests. Beyond that: To each their own.

NICE! Way to go :-)

If you are sodium sensitive, it might not be the best choice, but that goes for just about any restaurant unless you get a salad. I like subway and the fact that they post their nutrition info up front. And I love their veggie options, especially since most of them offer spinach now. It's definitely a go to for me when I'm…

It's unlikely that you broke your shin, but an x-ray is a good idea if it doesn't get better. Biking and water exercise will help the body dissipate the swelling. Gentle retrograde massage (from the foot, towards the body) can help push the swelling out. Doesn't need to be anything technical, just think of "milking" the…

depends on your definition of a-hole.

INSIDE your package? Ouch!

Amazing! Thanks for sharing your story :-)

edamame, peanut butter, tuna in a can... not sure what "obvious" means to you, so it's hard to help, but those are my go-to's beyond chicken breast, pork chops and beef. I also eat 4 oz of low-sodium deli turkey as a mid morning snack.

I'm pretty sure you're not supposed to move at all on your rest day ;-p JK... of course... do what works for you, just don't make yourself sore!

LOVE it! You look great :-)

All right Jacksie... we won't call you hubby :-p

^^^^^^ THIS ^^^^^^' I know you're not trying to be mean, but I don't think I'd take this well if it were sent to me. You are demanding that she change in order to maintain a relationship with you. She is your mom. She gave birth to you. It is very possible that she doesn't see it as your place to change her. The person who…

EWWWWW... Seriously Creepy. Guess I've been lucky, but my 20 year HS reunion is next year... guess I cant rule it out :noway:

Awesome job!!! That last pic shows a HUGE difference! Good luck reaching your goals! You're doing great so far :-)

Can't see your diary, but for me, I do best with calories and am less hungry and have more energy when I'm eating a lot of protein. My protein goal for the day is 135g, with is 1g per pound of my GOAL body weight. You can also to the 40% carbs, 30% protein, 30% fat thing. Comes out pretty equal to the goal weight thing for…

Where on earth did you live that this was a regular occurrence??

Glad it inspired you to get up and moving in the end, but I'm sorry you had to go through that. Obviously, he WASN'T thinking because he was drunk, but that's no excuse. All I can say is that you can fix overweight, but you can't fix stupid and you can't fix ugly. So he looses in the end! Keep up the great work... you've…

Roommate, wife = not the same thing. If you're leaving her with your share of the household responsibilities (or even part of them), then you need to find a way to make thing more equitable perhaps. I'm single with no kids and there's no way I could work full time, take care of my home, yard, and finances, and work out as…

Very good point. My patients think nothing of interrupting my lunch, keeping me late, and when I come in early for them, they just keep expecting more and more. I am constantly battling with myself to maintain a personal boundary and to force myself to put my foot down and take some time for myself in the day (like taking…

Yeah, even in the healthcare field, you can think "it's no going to happen to me". Or, maybe they just don't make the same connection to their patients as you do... maybe they don't see these things as something that could have been avoided. I work in healthcare and I'm pretty fit, but sometimes stress at work does…

Have the homeowner's association get in touch with the girlfriend, or leave an anonymous note on her door when you know she's not home.

Not to be a total smart *kitten*, but you are probably sensitive to heat because you haven't been drinking water. All my ideas have pretty much been taken, so I won't be redundant. I've never really heard of anyone feeling sick from water. Not sure if there could be a medical reason for that? Might want to mention it to…

Awesome job! Congrats on getting up the guts to post the pics too! I've still been too lazy to figure out how to do that ;-p
