My brother-in-law and mother-in-law both have it. I know he has said that cherries are good for preventing flare ups or maybe even helping when they have one (I think)- they are a natural anti-inflamatory I believe. I also think they have said they have to stay away from red meat as it can cause flare ups. I am not sure…

Definitely a success!! Best wishes for continued health!

I have no clue if I have them, ever had them, or will have them... I also have no clue if you can get them or if it is genetics- I am inclined to think it is genetic like every other type of dimple seems to be but a quick google search does show some Youtube videos and other various sites claiming to have workouts that…

:laugh: :sad: :laugh: Oh, that was good!! :bigsmile:

Just a few questions (and thanks for the great feedback- I really am hoping to not have to go the surgery route): I have juiced a few times before and I really enjoy making fresh juice. My issue really is time and clean up. Is it possible to make a larger quantity of juice on the weekends and then drink it throughout the…

Thanks for the replies. I guess the main reason I don't want to have it taken out at the moment is money and time. I don't have great insurance and time wise, I really can't afford to take time off work because I am saving my personal time for when I have to take my youngest to the doctor (we just found out she is deaf so…

It stands for "You only live once" and comes from a song (rap I think- not sure because I don't listen to that type of music most of the time). Kids are using it to justify stupid behavior (like the sentence the other poster used). Every time I see/hear it I want to yell "No duh, you only live once- what do you think you…

Not sure if someone else pointed it out already, but thought I should point out that "kosher" does not mean "vegan". Kosher refers to the way that food is killed/processed/prepared and cooked and eaten- it is done according to Jewish law and principals. When something is marked as Kosher it tells Jews that this food has…

One of my first responses would have been like another poster: pregnancy test. But I see you say this is not a possibility, so I will throw out my other thought... Have you ever had any issues with blood sugar? Does your family have a history of diabetes or blood sugar issues? I am not a doctor by any means but I had…

I just have to say, this kinda made me laugh... Although, I have to ask: why do you eat yogurt if you think it tastes like goat feet?!? :) If I thought something tasted like that, I don't care how good it is supposed to be for me, I'm not gonna eat it!! :) As for the OP- I try to avoid foods that are fat or sugar free…

Have you ever thought of becoming a hostage negotiator?? :) Talking down "Hungry Me" is by far one of the hardest negotiations out there- he/she knows ALL your secrets and just how to use them against you. I think being a hostage negotiator would be a cake walk for you!! :) (Also- I love your writing style, so humorous and…

I like mine plain, really. But I also like guacamole and the other day I put half an avocado with a pouch of flavored tuna (one of those ready to eat pouches) and it was really good that way!

Off topic for a second, but this quote made me think of this... :) My husband is Jewish and when discussing this with my sister one time, talking about the different things we don't eat (she was 17 at the time), she looks at me and says "you mean you can't eat hamburgers??" :huh: :noway: :huh: (Seriously, I stared at her…

I really don't know what more to write than what has been written here but I am sure I will be able to write a book. You see, I work at a Domestic Violence center (have for over 5 years) and have seen and heard many stories of abuse- some with severe physical abuse and some like yours, where it is all emotional mind games…

Thanks so much for all the great ideas :)! I didn't know that leaving the pit/stone in would help keep it from browning- I will definitely try that next time!

I try to plan out my dinners on Saturday or Sunday for the following week (just from Monday to Friday, though). I work during the week and don't get off until between 5 and 6 so it is easier to take time on the weekends planning our dinners (since I have kids that go to bed at 8 and that doesn't give me a lot of time to…

If you go to allears.net they have a lot of information as well as menus for most of the restaurants (not nutritional information, but it can at least give you an idea of the food offered). You can also look at "The Disney Food Blog" (just search it, I think that is the web site name too, but not sure) where all they blog…

If he wants a sandwich, he can make his own d@mn sandwich! She shouldn't have to make different meals for both of them just to accommodate his pickiness! And it doesn't really sound to me like she is either bashing him OR trying to make him completely change (she said she would like for him to join her on this journey but…

I have to agree with the others who have said to tell him "if you don't like what I am cooking, cook your own blasted meal" :P. But I know that sometimes that doesn't always work (and it sounds like he can be, as others have stated, a bit of a "manchild" about this issue). My husband is a bit picky (more so than myself and…

I honestly know nothing about your condition (had an idea what it is, so googled to confirm). I am a little intrigued by this because it sounds like it would be a hard thing to deal with. Could you maybe expand on what kinds of foods you ARE able to tolerate? Is it a certain "type" of taste that seems to be hard to handle?…

I don't know if anyone said anything yet but you might want to look at your iron intake. If you have suddenly started getting more iron in your diet or if you started taking a vitamin with iron included in it, that might be contributing to constipation. I have always had low iron counts but it is usually only an issue with…

Haha, you're not from my town then :)! I swear, that is the dress code for Wal-Mart around here!! (I wouldn't be caught DEAD like that, though!)

Just have to say, glad I am not the only one having an issue with the sugar! I was actually talking with my mom (who is not a nutritionist- just want to through that disclaimer out there :) ) today about it and she thinks that there is a bit of a difference between refined sugar and fruit sugar (I tend to think so too).…

I like steamed broccoli with my salmon. Roasted brussel sprouts might be good too (if you like them) or asparagus.

I have to agree with the others who have said that it sounds like there is more going on here than just the food. It really sounds to me like he is resisting cooking healthy foods for you because like you said, he is not ready to change HIS weight. Maybe he is feeling that you are trying to make him change too and this is…

Glad you're here :). I just started this site on Tuesday, so I am still new to things as well. It is GOOD that you are being honest in your logging, even if it is painful at times. I have been a bit shocked these last few days over how much sugar is in everything (and the fat content of some things too)- that has been my…
