Is it bad that I saw this subject line and thought "Why would counting calories make someone think the lead had gone out of your pencil?"

Seriously, you might be experiencing some withdrawal symptoms, especially if you cut back on sugar. Or you may simply be hungry, which might be making you grouchy.

Eating sweets encourages... more sweet eating. Best way to deal with it is to cut them out. If you have to eat late, have some low glycemic fruit.

My advise is really simple... eat less, move more, repeat. You're doing these things, so that's great. The occasional slip isn't the end; when the slip becomes daily, that is the end. Motivations come and go; therefore, I cling to perseverance. I WILL persevere to the end.

I expect my friends to send me cash. So far, I'm disappointed with everyone of them.

Living with the situation "as is" doesn't seem like it's one unending fun-ride for you. You'll need to address it and decide what to do if he can't respect your wishes (stay with him or breakup). Just MHO, but until your boyfriend says to his mother, "Hey, I'm a full grown man and will decide for myself what's best", he…

*Hurk*

OP, what you describe sounds like an addiction. I'm addicted to food, especially overeating it. I treat food like a drug, which is what it is to me. Sadly, quitting cold turkey isn't an option. So I have to face my addiction every day and take responsibility for it. Yesterday, I was actually negative on calories because of…

Muscle mass is more dense than fat mass. Therefore, if you are adding new muscle tissue, it may cause some confusion on the scales. So if you lift, be on the lookout for evidences of weight loss other than the scales.

Muscle is the engine that burns the most calories. More muscle, more calories burned.

I treat each day as a new start... as in "How can I do better than yesterday?" Because I know that I can somehow do better, even if only a little.

What we makes as a priority becomes our reality.

How would I look with hair?

I think the boyfriend may be cheating on his dog.

No... the exercises I do suck. They are tortuous, and I hate them. What I love, and what I come to look forward to, is how awesome I feel afterwards. The glow and the burn, that's what I do them for. Counting calories and exercising is all I've done to lose weight. Eat less, move more, repeat.

Did something like that, and you may never poo again.

I have been counting "those" calories. Should I?

@MrsBobaFett, do I detect a cute front tooth gap in your profile pic? I've got a front tooth gap myself.

Anyone okay with using this one?

Tip for women on how to sit down in a public bathroom:

Fear the doctor that examines your prostate with both his hands on your shoulders.

I wish you were my friend, sigh...

It can be hard to stay motivated, but if you focus on perseverance, it becomes eerily simple.

^^ This... I considered it my sacred obligation to get her perineum ready for delivery.

When I come to these boards, I put rubbers on each finger before I start typing. Haven't caught anything, yet...

Yes, thank goodness... can you imagine drinking Dihydrogen Oxide?

You made me LOL... now people are looking at me.

Great, now I have to watch Bill & Ted's Bogus Journey again this weekend.
