Have you ever had your gall bladder out? I had diarrhea for years after I had mine out. I added fiber to my diet and everything seemed to clear up.

I wanted to shave his beard...

Sure, why not!

I give you a 10 for your statement alone!

Suntan lotion Coffee Patchouli/Sandalwood Garlic and onions frying Bacon Some men's cologne Line dried sheets Puppy breath Barbeques!!! I'm actually surprised at how many of these are the same!! How is that?

Oh I hope there are some psychologists out there recording this data! This is gold right here folks!!

Do you know how hard it is to live in a "straight" world???? No, you don't. Imagine going overseas where you are the only white person. If you found another white person, wouldn't you kinda flock to them because you have something in COMMON??? So frustrating.

Absolutely exercise helps! This particular test I want to do is just based on sugar in the diet.

I think this test is for people who are ready for change. It's kind of like being addicted to cigarettes or alcohol. It's one thing to need it, but you won't do it until you are ready. I would say to anyone who is experiencing aggression, moodswings, depression, and anxiety...What have you got to lose???? Try it. The only…

Thanks for your willingness to try! I think you'll be amazed.... And yes, I mean "added"...Fruits are okay ,but try not to go overboard. Cut out pop, sweeteners, processed foods, and and fruit juices. You will get mad cravings for a few days, but then....wow. The cravings will stop, you will start to feel better, more…

Yes and YES. I battle too and you have to go cold turkey and never look back. Look at it as a cocaine addiction. Do it once and you are back in your cycle. Trust me. It will take a week or two, but you will notice your whole frame of mind change, you will become more peaceful and the cravings will go away. That means the…

At this very moment, it's the fact that I just got tickets to GAGA! Usually though, my happy is being cozy in my chair at home, sipping my morning coffee, thankful for my gf, my dog, and all of the things I have that make my life easier.

I had to go cold turkey. But what was also important was getting rid of the other sugar in my diet as that just kept my cravings up for it. You will have headaches and be tired for a bit, but it's worth it. Drink lots of water and good luck to you!

I would say of course it is...Except for the past 2 weeks I've been battling my addiction to the intense flavor of the bad take out foods that got me fat in the first place. I'm fine as long as I stay away, but holy smokes, once I get started the cravings are back in full force which pushes my progress back and makes it…

Beautiful eyes!

I have learned to use mine as a tool. It has helped me understand how much I can fluctuate on any given day. It seems to be I can be within a range of 1-5 lbs!! That makes me a little less manic when I look at it and it has gone up a little. Seriously, going to the bathroom or taking my clothes off can affect it more than…

^THIS!!! I had the exact same problem as you. For years. I tried everything, but finally it came down to getting off the crap cold turkey. Then I forced myself to get educated about how it's all made, how the corporations are really just interested in money, not our health, how the animals are treated that go into the…

Holy CRAP!!! Look at you!! Unbelievable.

My trainer is telling me to eat no more than about 125-150 grams per day if that helps. It's important for us PCOS'ers to get rid of the sugar in our diet. High sugar means high blood sugar. High blood sugar means more insulin production. More insulin triggers the ovaries to produce MORE testosterone/androgen which is what…

Canada!

I have many tips, but the biggest one I can think of is to deal with the root cause of why you are heavy in the first place. I went to counseling and dealt with my past, got honest with myself and everyone around me, and my whole life changed. This is not something that will end "If I can just lose 50 lbs".....no. You need…

This is a great read. I have been struggling with confusion over this too. I have a really hard time thinking that I should actually eat MORE when my weight is plateauing, but seeing all of these posts is very helpful to know that it works. Thank you.

At the risk of sounding just as goofy, I have noticed this too and wonder what it's all about!!

Friendly with an edge!

OMG!!! I got called this too!!! I had to evict a roommate I had and when he was moving his crap out the door his mom called. She must have asked where I was and he said "oh, she's just sitting here like JABBA THE HUT." That was years ago and it still cuts me. I've pretty much been called every name in the book, but this…

Kind.
