I would go across the street to the all you can eat Indian buffet and eat the whole dang thing.

You can only keep yourself on board. You can't force her. Try pre-logging or planning ahead by having healthy snacks an arms length away. Lead by example and take control of your eating habits and maybe if she sees how do-able it is she will follow your path.

Pumpkin pie is the only kind of pie I do like. It's delicious. Your peeps must be weird.

I don't eat before I work out if I go early morning. Usually just a glass of water and a cup of coffee on the way. If I know I'm going to get up early I have a snack before bed time, usually a little peanut butter on bread or a serving of cheese and crackers to help me not feel so hungry/weak in the mornings. I used to be…

It's hard sometimes to find balance. I have tried to be creative when it comes timing my exercise time and I try to be flexible. I don't know the age ranges of your kids or what specific exercise you do, but can you include them in some of it. When I take my kids to the park I actually get out there and play with them. At…

Make sure your cupboards and fridge are full of things you want to be eating also and do your own thing. I seriously doubt that nagging him is going to have the effect your desire.

I think it definitely depends on the family dynamic. Is your family pretty open to communication or are these people just negative about things in general? Do you feel that if you explained to them that their words are hurtful it would make a difference? In my family the people who would say things like that in the first…

My high school Latin teacher would put a piece of paper in front of his face and make his eyebrows walk across the top like they were caterpillars.

I have to work the part time tonight so probably something frozen and quickly cooked buried in hot sauce to hide the taste. Edited to add: Any one who wants to share their dinner is more than welcome to visit me at work. :)

Do invisible people cry real tears?

I'm pretty sure there is nothing to see there.

Well, yeah, but you get to see yourself every day. There is no mystery there.

If you are giving intense enough foot rubs that you can track a calorie burn, I'm down.

I don't know but I'd gain a pound to have him rub my feet right now.

Cell phones are one of the most disgusting, germiest things ever. No. To anyone above or below or ever, no I will not be licking cell phone screens.

No. My bratty children refuse to share with me, like I didn't give them the gift of life or something. Not even their nasty tootsie rolls. THEY DON'T EVEN LIKE TOOTSIE ROLLS!!

I would get the tuna because it sounds delicious and I would eat all of it because it will not taste as good as leftovers. One dinner won't ruin everything.

I can kind of see where you are coming from. When you lose the weight and feel sexy and are getting so much attention it's easy to become restless and think that maybe there is something more out there. It sounds like you have a husband who loves you and is truly a part of the team. Do you really want to lose that because…

Maybe you could try pre-logging. If you have your food for the day planned out you may be less willing to mindlessly splurge on foods to make you feel better. Pre-planning healthy snacks you can grab if you do feel the urge to eat is an idea too. Having a serving of veggies or cookies or whatever ready to grab will help…

What about those of us who don't have a man at home to cook for us?

You could try pre-making breakfast. My mornings are very busy too and I love to have something like this ready to go. http://averiecooks.com/2014/05/100-calorie-cheese-vegetable-and-egg-muffins.html

Is there a particular benefit to eating celery that I missed? I buy it occasionally when I make my fresh veggie pizza because I like how it crunches. The kids sometimes will eat it with carrot sticks (pro tip always peel your celery so you don't have the stringiness) but usually I use one or two stalks and it goes bad in…

I gained a lot during each of my three pregnancies and still don't regret it. If I could change anything about it looking back I would maybe not eat McDonald's fries every single day with #3 but they made me feel better at the time. Just focus on getting enough vitamins and minerals and try not to stress it too much with…

If you are doing Stronglifts is it really necessary to also use the machines? I am pretty sure you squat every lifting session on Stronglifts. For me personally I would rather run with slightly sore legs than try to squat with tired legs so I would lift first. I tend to run on days I don't lift though. The day after leg…

You know me so well. <3

I have wider shoulders and narrow hips. I really like how I look in halter style bikini tops.

F it. I'm out.

Absolutely. I don't think setting up a computer is really that hard and it would become routine in no time. I don't have a home computer though, just a broken laptop. Can I get an advance on that $50K?

Probably not, but it's not healthy so I don't tend to do it too often. If you just keep looking back, you already know how those stories end. The future is more fun. It's still unwritten.
