I love, love LOVE 5:2. I weigh less than I did in highschool, and once my body adjusted to the periods of fasting, it was effortless. No fatigue, no dizziness. One of the advantages of having a body adapted to fasting is that you can go longer without eating without the ill effects of low blood sugar. Some days I just have…

My family noticing and remarking that I'd "picked up weight." They meant it as a compliment, but that will never be a compliment to me. I know I'd gained weight, there was no need to keep bringing it up. Looking at pictures taken of me and feeling shocked and disgusted at how fat I'd gotten. Being told on not one, but two…

I saw this the other day and got so choked up... beautiful!

I want to look good in pictures, and I want to be able to wear more revealing clothes without wondering if I'm making everyone in my wake gag in disgust :P

yoga instructor @fighttheurge3 haha I wish :) I'm a network engineer :P

All of the ringtones and notification sounds on my phone are from Nintendo and Sega games. When I turn my phone on it goes "Segaaaaaa" like in the beginning of Sonic the Hedgehog :P

Gross. I wish people would keep their bodily functions to themselves.

Interesting! I've always heard that hunger and thirst were closely related, but I didn't know the signals could get mixed up like that.

Yay Philly! Congrats, very inspiring!

I used to roast and sweat a lot when I was heavier, but I've noticed that I'm a lot more cold natured since losing weight.

I find it helpful to keep a "softest blanket ever" around to wrap up in, a nice comfy hoodie, and a pair of thick…

Congrats on the weight loss so far!

I did something similar, I've actually lost a lot more, but decided to start my account based on how much weight I have left to lose instead of how much I've lost total.

Added! Congrats on the weight loss... it's great to connect with other tall ladies, losing weight is definitely different for us :)

Oh, and about the jerky guys... I highly suggest the books "Why Men Love b*tches" and "Why Men Marry b*tches" By Shirley Argov. They changed my life! The name is deceptive - it doesn't teach you how to be a "b*tch" to guys, it lets you in on a lot of the tricks guys play (the author interviewed a bunch of guys and they…

I can totally relate! Especially in the summer, when I'm not hiding behind a coat and layers. I get attention anyway, but when I'm thinner, it's ridiculous! Like you, I love/hate the attention. It's ego boosting, but it also gets tiresome, especially when you just want to go on about your day and be left alone. Added is…
