Not to keep people from posting, because pictures rule! But for even more of a sample than will be possible here: http://www.mybodygallery.com/

How did you lose 80 pounds without this coming up before?

With something like a salad, I would just input all the things I can identify and roughly guessitimate how much of each thing there is. Not much else you can do. For most everything else, I do basically the same thing, but then add like 2-3 tablespoons of butter/oil/FAT because restaurants often do, even if it doesn't seem…

Thank everyone for the thoughts so far. :flowerforyou: Believe me, it was devastating...and it's not like he didn't know I had long-term depression issues. It's been something like four years now since everything blew up, and the idea of even going on a date makes me want to vomit. I am still healing though, and I hope…

As someone who responded, I didn't miss the point he was trying to make. I understood he was trying to say "My wife has low self esteem and I would like to help her fix it." However, a lot of the words and phrases he used to try to make that point sent up red flags that suggested that there was something else entirely at…

I know this advice was given in good fun, but it's potentially pretty devastating. When one partner is already putting some level of (evidently unwanted) pressure on the other to have sex, turning it physical is way more likely to do the opposite of what's intended.

My scale tells me my body fat is about 52% Sometimes it goes under 50 and I get excited! Until I step on it again and I'm up to 54% or something. Yeah, I know it's inaccurate. But I do got me some chubs, so I don't quibble. (I'm 5'5, 230ish) I also have a BodyMedia toy, so I can tell that over the past 28 days I have…

I keep picturing Laura Palmer's senior portrait, from Twin Peaks. Not sure I would want to feel I was in a David Lynch style relationship!

Having been someone who was insecure, I surely didn't need constant reassurance, and I surely didn't need or want someone frustrating themselves on my behalf--especially without being asked. That would have just made me feel worse!

Yes, self esteem is pretty much the sexiest thing a woman (or man) can possess. This whole part makes me feel icky. And I don't know, a lot of the post made me feel icky. I obviously don't know you, your wife, your relationship, or anything about you, but you seem way too invested in your wife's self esteem... Maybe it's…

I read the post, I look at the picture, I re-read the post, look at the picture again, read the post one more time... And I really can't tell if this is a joke. If it's serious... Please take note of that disorder you know about, and be watchful you don't develop it. Take care.

Haha, that is rad :) If I ever get married again (hah), I can only hope it would be that awesome :)

If you disagree strongly enough, you could open your own site. :flowerforyou:

Eff that, they better double it!

I often stick it between my teeth to give people something to talk about, or obsess over whether they should say something or not. I also use it in smoothies (if it's getting bad and you have more than you need for one, throw it in the freezer now, you'll be able to use it for a while yet that way), in scrambled eggs, and…

Quite simply, if you want to do it, you will (barring a disorder of some type). You're going to have to find that within yourself. Here are two great posts that should give you some information to help you get started when you're ready:…

This is very intriguing!

Since someone hared the existence of the Libra app the other day, I now weigh myself daily just so I can input a new number. It excites me! edit: Seriously, I get up, pee, get naked, weigh myself, and login to the app and update, lol :)

I make corned beef and cabbage several times a year because I LOVES IT. Here's how we do it, very simple: Rinse your corned beef, setting aside spice packet Put it in a good sized pot, like you would for a good stew. Cover with water, leaving 3 or so inches from the top of the pot Boil. When the icky scum-salt stuff comes…

You're entitled to do that. :) I don't know what other people would say-- I just know that isn't something I would say, if I participated in the conversation at all.

I am always tempted to eat mine! I have a bunch of sweet 'flavors from the philosophy line-- Cinnamon Buns, Mint Chocolate Chip Cookie, Frosted Sugar Cookie, Lemon Angel Cake oh my god i am going now to eat soap bbl

Not being attracted to is miles and miles away from divorcing because you're no longer acceptable arm candy.

Not sure if I officially have IBS, but man, the thing is definitely irritable. Probably one of the most aptly-named conditions out there! I tend to lean the "other way," and I recently started self-medicating with fiber pills. Having the urgency gone is fabulous, but now much of the time I feel like I'm literally full…

I used it a few years ago and lost about 30 pounds. It was pretty easy, but it's absolutely NOT as simple as just getting their food and eating it-- you are expected to eat a lot of fresh fruits and veggies as well, and I think that's when I discovered Greek yogurt too, as another (required) supplementary food source. I…

That is AWESOME! I was just commenting elsewhere that when my scale is being obstinate (because, come on, it's for sure the scale and not me, right? hehe), I sometimes have to remind myself that while losing weight is good-great-awesome, I'm also doing this for my overall health and fitness. So rather than fling a table…

:( Not funny when it's about a smaller woman, but it's ok to laugh at the fat ladies? You may not have meant to sound mean, but...

Nice summary. :)

Oh! I'm sorry, I didn't even think about it coming in a bottle. Back in my drinking days I always got beer on draft, lol :)

If it comes up naturally, I say, "Oh cool." If it comes up out of nowhere, I say, "Oh." If it comes up all the time, I say, "Oh, I like meat." I am just not as interested in what other people eat unless I am responsible for feeding them. I feel similarly about people's sex lives.

Good luck to you with your marriage. Deciding whether to fight for one or end it is a very hard decision to make. I would (personally) never advise someone to leave their spouse because of their weight, but I think a lot of times "weight" may be the easiest way to describe the problem. I met my ex-husband when I weighed…
