Fit and confident!

Shame by Jill Scott. It's my current jam.

Hey, thanks for the reply Bree! Mmm, after I complete the program my doctor's outlined for me, I'll definitely be upping the carbs (reasonably), but I'm not sure macronutrients are the problem here. It really feels like an erosion of some wall, mentally. That's where I need the help!

If I'm alone, door is always open because my apartment wont judge me, ha. If family is over, door is open for a quick pee because we're probably mid conversation. Of course, we politely avert the gaze, but it doesn't stop the dialogue. If friends are over, closed outta respect for their sensibilities, because they may not…

This looks AMAZING! All the recipes! Awesome.

Bird flu

Barf bag! Quick!

Got nothing to add except that I <3 this thread. :flowerforyou: :heart: :blushing:

Uh, the Governor is a megalomaniac and a psychopath. Yep!

Amazing weight loss and great art!

The words SULTRY and FIERCE come to mind. You're lovely!

You know those super obvious things that you should know but forget constantly? This is one of 'em. Thanks for the reminder!

...which pretty much backs up everything I said about the jacked up beauty standards that would lead someone to be here, AND to be less than happy at a tactless compliment. :tongue:

Um. All the pervy things I swear I'd never do? For Robert Downey Jr.? IN FOR THE PERVY. Yuuup. And this dude. Mmmmmm.

I think it boils down to boundaries. Some people, like the OP, have pretty well defined one. Others, like the OP's boyfriend, don't. (Personally, I've found women have better boundaries and guys, especially ones from laid back cultures or families, are more apt to lack 'em.) It's really hard for people who have lax…

THIS ONE IS GONNA BE LONG, FOLKS. I'm all *hot and bothered*. Personally, I'll take a compliment where I can get it, and return one as quickly. Doesn't mean I don't have A HELLUVA lot to say on the subject. I call bullsh*t. Body image, especially for American females, is a tremendously complicated issue and the…

Thanks for the replies, peoples. I appreciate you! I figured any weight loss would be from water lost, what I'm more interested in are their effects upon skin elasticity. Even with a slow and steady weight loss, that's my main concern.

Anybody? Buellar? Buellar? :D

Yea, fast food really IS scary! I think packing healthy snacks is a GREAT idea. I'd limit fruit, unless you're eating it with a protein. Like, an apple or banana with some peanut butter to keep your blood sugar from spiking. Cheese sticks are AWESOME. You can pack sammiches or that smoked sausage that's ready to eat, comes…

LMAO! Nice!

Your everything is beautiful! I was going to say tattoos, then eyes, then hair...you get the picture. :D

Your score was 33 out of a possible 46. Scores in the 27 - 46 range indicate severe Binge eating behavior. I was sorta shocked. I figured the way I ate was, if not normal, not disordered. Restrictive phase right now so it was hard to answer honestly, but dude. All or nothing. Thaaat's me. *kitten*.

I made them this AM with no fruit, and egg whites. They were suuuuuper dry. It had to be just me, though. Next time, in goes the banana.

Ooooh. How's it work???

She seems...like a bit of a tool. Hate to say it, but yeah...either she wants you to live long and prosper, or she doesn't. Friends shouldn't actively suck up your joy.

Ahahaha!

The only place I go without makeup is...MFP. Ha! I put up makeup free photos for the same reason I have my diary open. I think it's super easy to misrepresent yourself/make yourself appear better/hotter/more whatever than you really are on the internet. Taking steps to counter act that effect. In person, though, I'm with…

Duuude! Awesome, awesome, awesome transformation!

LOVE Firefly, no idea how I forgot to add it. :D

Holy wow, I'm never leaving the house AGAIN. You guys are awesome! Thanks!
