I may be in love. As long as we're doing this, can I also pretend that you are going to someday name me in your will after giving me a really good job and the upcoming Superball numbers? Please be my friend and leave me alone.

I think part of the problem is that you have to get a life before you get a girl. You don't have a job and live on "Government money" which would be either welfare or disability, and that means you may not be able to even pay your own way on a date. You don't have a history of being able to take care of yourself and have…

Very impressive. You are my hero for the day. Thanks for posting.

How much weight did you lose with all that worrying? If it doesn't work, stop doing it. I used to (and sometimes still will) eat because I was angry with someone. I am setting a personal goal of slicing off a chunk of whomever I get mad at and eating that. At least one of us will be thinner. Maybe both if I don't like the…

I think people just want to identify with our journey. I've had people give me advice on how to manage a pregnancy, how to manage being on crutches, how to vote, to raise my kids, to worship, and the best advice is always when they simply walk the walk and provide a good example. Once I was worried about having to do a…

I translate it to exercise. I'd love that cinnamon roll but I have to walk two miles to keep it off my thighs and I have work to do this afternoon..... Seriously, when I found out that the slice of toast meant over a mile with the dog I thought I would either have to choose to wear the legs off the dog or just skip the…

Sorry you thought I was making a judgment. I said "stay on focus" and "let go" of things that can be frustrating and distracting. That has worked for me and I would hope it worked for you.

Went back and read some of your recent posts since this one had nothing to do with nutrition, change, diet or exercise. None of yours did. I saw blame and resentment and "It's all medical" but nothing about change. Maybe that's why I'm writing: you seemed to feel so helpless in your posts, don't log your food, and despite…

Plain yogurt with fruit. I greatly prefer the Fage no-fat with real fruit- takes seconds to make and tastes so much better than that syrupy stuff.

You write that you are making yourself sick by trying to eat like a sick person does, by trying to eat your food before he gets to it, by bingeing on junk food after he eats all your stuff, and by trying to please this person who is verbally and emotionally abusive. you say that he gets thrown out of where he lives,…

You are my heroine for the day. Ah, to wear a belt around my tummy and to look that confident when looking in a mirror! You look fabulous. Thanks for being an inspiration.

My husband constantly compliments me and offers to share his food with me. I remind him that my weight is going to put me in the coffin years earlier and it's to his advantage to keep me alive and healthy. I think that sometimes it's hard for a person to let go of who we were if they loved us as we were, so in a weird way…

Is this an ad? Seems rather a waste of space. Why would anyone care what you did at 2:00? Reads like an ad.

You look so much happier. I'm your height so I appreciate the photos. Add me if you'd like.

FOUR sizes off? I don't know what to think of that.

Just got back from Boston, home of some fine Italian food. It's also home of some fabulous walking tours, and one can walk off any indulgence if given the time. I find that the walking added to my pleasure from the trip, too. Going to Germany in a few months and I already know how far to walk per ounce of chocolate.......…

Look at the guy! He must be six inches taller than you are. That means that every step he takes is probably a foot more than if you took the same step. OK. so geometry was a long time ago but you can figure out the math. Of course he did it faster because he took giant steps compared to yours. Same exertion of energy and…

That's 25.1 by the calculator. Bad scale at GNC. Do your own math.

Look up Angel Food Ministries on google. They are a non-profit that sells food at about half off and are all over the county. They don't require that you "qualify" to buy a box of food.

I look at them as battle scars for what I have been through. Seriously, if someone said, "I like you but can't get past the stretch marks," would you respect that? I had a guy tell me that he'd like me more if I had blonde hair, and I responded that I'd like him more if he had better manners and maybe a job......

By July 1? I think I could do that in 364 days. Count me in!!!

The manufacturers of Zoloft released an article a couple of years ago that stated that people could cut their medication use in half if they would just walk 45 minute a day. They then admitted that they didn't know how to make people who were depressed become willing to walk. Sunshine, walking, and monitoring Vitamin B…

It's all about the choices. Thanks for adding your two cents. Sometimes I get overwhelmed by the perfectionists....

Great job!

My husband runs marathons for a hobby. 26.2 miles. Probably 75 miles a week for practice and a run every few months for a medal to put on the wall. I gained 60 pound after I started eating with him. He eats more junk food than anyone could imagine, and loves to share it with me. He thinks I am delicate and although he is…

Ditto, ditto, and ditto. Go ahead and add me.

Look at it like this: if your blood is in your digestive tract making use of lunch then you might feel a little weaker in the extremities (think if that "don't swim for an hour after eating" homily; there is some sense to it because you are a little weaker.) If you don't have fuel in your blood (oxygen and glucose) you may…

Just about everything at Starbucks. That White Chocolate Mocha will set you back. And movie theater popcorn.

Do this: call poison control and tell them you are thinking about taking three times the dose. See what they say. (Poison Control does not get ten million calls a night so don't yell at me. I didn't say call 911 or the ER) We used to get ER visitors who wanted to jump-start the diet by taking more than recommended.…

Try saying, "That was abusive. I'm going to (take a walk, go downstairs, go upstairs, something OUT OF THE ROOM) for five minutes." Give him his time-out. If you realize you spend way too much time away and he doesn't change, let him share his wisdom with someone who wants it, because you don't.
