Well, if that's how you feel then don't give your child(ren) those kind of treats every day. If you want your child(ren) to have only water, by all means, only give them water. Unless there was a rule in place regarding which foods were not allowed to be packed in lunches which the parent saw and signed off on prior to…

Then they should say "Do to potential allergy issues our school is a peanut-free zone." Not "peanut butter is not a healthy snack."

I send a treat in my kids' lunches every day. Usually chocolate chip cookies, a pudding cup or Hershey's kisses (because mommy kisses!). I send a sandwich, chips, and cottage cheese or yogurt, too. I would be ticked if they weren't able to eat their treat. And peanut butter isn't "healthy" but they should have bread if…

I just can't stop watching.

My employer offers a health clinic which is free for those of us who have insurance through work. Part of the benefit is an annual physical for which we are paid a bonus. Every year some of my co-workers get mad because the clinic doc tells them that according to their height and weight they are overweight or obese. "He…

I mix cream cheese and salsa to use as the sauce for my vegetable pizzas. Spread out crescent rolls onto the bottom of a cookie sheet and bake,top with cream cheese/salsa sauce and fresh raw veggies and devour. You could also use it as a spread for a chicken wrap.

I didn't before, but I am kind of happy I know you can do this now.

How long have you only been eating 800-900 calories a day and why so low?

It really depends on what else I have going on that day. I prefer to wake up at 5 and go to the gym straight away, but being a single mom means that can't always happen. I also work a couple of jobs so I can't always go after work either. I just try to get there at least 3 times a week and run when I can. On mornings when…

Chicken nuggets?

I would just go over for the day. Chances are that you are at enough of a deficit that it won't actually hurt anything and if you don't satisfy your hunger you will be more likely to eat over on your calories tomorrow, too. Also, a little pre-planning goes a long way.

I know there are some couples who met on here. I'm pretty sure you can meet and fall in love with someone anywhere on the internets.

I don't really do sweets anymore. I just don't enjoy them. I still put salt in my tomato juice though...along with vodka. I used to eat oj concentrate too! My weird kid doesn't like orange juice at all. He says it's too sour.

Did you make the sandwiches with bread or cookies? My brother used to pour sugar straight into his milk because he didn't like the texture of cereal.

I didn't realize going sockless with shoes was attractive at all. Especially while exercising. Mostly it just sounds gross.

My son loves all the cookies, cupcakes, doughnuts and cakes and will eat butter straight up but has yet to dip a spoon into the sugar bowl. He's kind of a weirdo.

But she's not apologizing for saying it at all. She's apologizing as a backwards way of insulting mccindy72 for taking offense at the term "bag of hangers." She's not sorry for saying it because she still doesn't get that someone doesn't need to feel like the term is applied to them personally to be disgusted that someone…

Working til dark then pizza with the kids.

No thank you. I'm not really the statue type. What you can do is maybe learn from your mistakes instead of trying to deflect attention away from yourself and possibly even apologize at some point for being flat out wrong. Not to me by the way. I couldn't care less about your apology, but that woman in the picture is still…

By calling her a "bag of hangers" you are dehumanizing her. Frankly, I'm sure there are people out there who are attracted to her so for you to say that no one wants a "bag of hangers" and then use her image as an example is wrong on multiple levels.

Still a human being.

Having a preference is fine. Calling names is not. I am not a stick or a bag of hangers.

I don't think it's changed at all. I think "healthy" is what was being advertised as desirable and the norm. The girls images in the before are people who would most likely be classified as underweight. I'm sure there were also ads out there for weight loss, but obesity wasn't so prevalent in that era. There are still many…

I'm 5'4" and about 120 pounds much like the "after" image in the weight gainer ad with the 35 inch bust and 26 inch waist. Most people I come across who are crass enough to say anything about the size/shape of my body would classify me as "skinny" or "thin." I don't think I understand your point in posting this.

When the toilet paper roll won't unroll right so you're pulling it out one freaking sheet at a time. One of these days I'm going to rip the thing off the wall.

If he didn't like them why did he pick a peck of pickled peppers? What's the point of having a peck of pickled peppers without pickled...pickles?

That looks amazing! I can't wait to try this.

Definitely a pickle lover here. :)

I think it really depends. Your diary is closed so we can't see how many calories you're consuming. Just as a guess I would say not enough. Pigging out on waffles with peanut butter and honey very likely did not cause you to gain weight again unless you ate the whole containers of each. It takes a 3500 calorie surplus to…

Part of this depends on what your living conditions are. Are you in a dorm or do you have an apartment/house? Do you have roommates who are willing to share food costs with you?
