  • Keep an eye on the colour of your pee. Although if taking vitamins and supplements, this may be deceiving. Doctor told me I was drinking too much but still felt thirsty all the time. (All else has been checked, I just drink too much water). Thirst can be give off the same feeling as hunger. good stuff to have too much of…
  • I'm a Mum of a Girl 13 and a Boy 11 and also a counsellor who work's with families. The best story I've come across is this one.. 5am....A 6 year old girl wakes her mum. "Mummy, mummy, wake up". Mum all delirious and exhausted, forces her eyes open and looks at her little curious 6YO. "What is it sweetie?". "Mummy what's…
  • Tried to overcome it by exercising with my sister in law. Was all ok until I stomped on the family dog! Back to just at home alone safely again!
  • I'm the same matey. Gotta find new focus and reset goals I think. Setting out to achieve goals that are floating in our own minds is too easy to stumble away from. Getting goals written down where they become visual for you is a better way of achieving things and a stronger way of sticking with your goals through…
  • You could look at the domestic violence cycle. its the part where he has to do the making up/sorry part that gets aw oman back into the relationship. maybe his 'sorry make up' part involves fantastic sex. maybe sex that allows her to be dominate and thats something she gets a lot out of?
  • Ride my cruise, ride the stress levels with being a parent, whack the crap out of tennis balls (totally unprofessional game at my level) I like to think I'm playing tennis! Oh and ride the man. Seriously - sexercise is a fantastic cal killer!!!! ;)
  • I was having weekly migraines up until I was found to have really high blood pressure. Any tablets I tried taking didn't work as it wasn't fixing the BP. See how you go. Have had to take bp tabs now but i have been migraine free since finding out the bp issues were the cause. best of luck
  • Willie Packenham. Seriously this was our dog and thats the street name! Dog named after Willie Nelson the singer. It could have been 'Hugie' our minature foxie, she wasn't huge at all. Eitherway. wow. ha ha ha
  • Some new fitness routines do suggest taking 'supplements'. If they are including natural vitamins and minerals, then that sounds all ok. For the ones I'm taking, they are also supportive of increasing metabolism. The one point I am seeking support and encouragement from. Yes they are a pill, yes they are a lazy idea for…
  • No more diets. Thats something you have a start and stop date for. You stop and the weight comes back on with a vengence. The best thing, as someone else has mentioned is to make a permanent lifestyle change. If its the movement thats hard to do and stick with, then its your heart and head that need to change tactics. Find…
  • Hey its fantastic to at least try it out. We have 'Mowvember' over her in November obviously, where you grow a face placed shag pile for the month for raising money and awareness for mens health. Some fella's style it up, some dont shave it off at the end, but its pretty cool being able to see what comes of it. Just like…
  • Fantastic first step mate. The biggest challenge with lifes games are the starting point. Where your mind is at from the get go. Saying out loud, what it is you WANT, can change your negatives to positives even when you dont believe what you are saying at the start. If you go out with the negatives thoughts, when you look…
  • It wont be much if you dont go that often, but when you are in the privacy of your toilet/bathroom, take the opportunity to do several squats over the loo seat. Not sitting down, but get just above it. Prob can be done at your desk too, but haven't tried that one as my office door is always open. Stretching is always a…
  • Everyones 'sex' balances are different. They can switch on and off at different times. If you have stressors in your life, they can distract you, if he has stressors then the same thing. They can affect us mentally and physically. If its been going on for quite some time, then there could be many reasons. Different sex…
  • Wow, I responded without reading other peoples replies and we have said the same thing! Great stuff huh. Must be onto a good thing. Best of luck to all MFPers. Being on here is a good move.
  • Its all in the mindset. Start with stopping to do diets forever. What you need is a 'lifestyle change' as this can be permanent. A diet has a start date and a finish date, and whether you make them or not getting to the finish date means so does the weight loss and when you stop the diet, the weight loss effort does also.…
  • Bugger bugger. There is still a way to be a naked chef at home for other lovely in your life. Be naked and wear an apron! What a nice treat though, hope you get that again!
  • Indeed, you go girl! I used to say my mantra with forced effort. Looking at the reflection in the mirror and reciting the words, "I am a strong, Independent and Beautiful woman". My insides were saying and my outsides weren't seeing or believing it. The power of thought works wonders. Now I can wink and wolf whistle at the…
  • Oh you just made me smile. I have a gorgeous black female english cocker spaniel and she's a cutie pie. I have a pic of her on my site. Good stuff being one to rehome some animals too. We just lost our black cat and just not ready to get another yet after this one being the 3rd I've had to be the one to put to sleep due to…
  • The 'live' vitamins called Probiotics which have active cultures in them, they are full of millions of good bacteria. Can help your stomach, intestines and your bodies 'natural flora'. Awesome for preventing yeast infections and is often good to take immediately after having a round of antibiotics. At the same time wont…

  • Sounds like you've hit rock bottom for your self image. Good thing with that is...the only way is up now. Yes you can get back to where your self image was secure. Where you can walk past a mirror and smile back when you see your reflection. It all starts with the mental game. I've had to do that myself and my whole self…
  • Shan chicky babe, awesome smile matey! I just had to copy :D
  • Counsellor working with a community support service agency as their intake worker :) And a mum of two children called 'search and destroy'. te he
  • It could be the balance. There needs to be an equal balance in both your lives of 'ME' time, 'WE' time and 'US' time. The 'ME' time is of course you and this can possibly be with your fitness and exercise. My hubby did the P90X and I got to a stage where I felt left out and felt like I was always looking after the kids…
  • You need to be able to see your goals. Here on MFP you can sort of feel like you have to be accountable for foods and excercise by having to enter it. Not mandatory but it is a motivator. A visual goal poster. They work great. Get a piece of cardboard poster size. Cut out pictures of all motivational things that you are…
  • watch only ones are the same as machines, they only give averages. But for a cheaper idea, the $10 sports watches sold in K-mart (In Australia) it is a place to start and thats what we both did. We now each have Polar HRM, I have the FT7 and he has the FT80. They are acurate and actually give higher cal burn readings than…
  • dna tests can be done once bub is born. A mouth swipe with a tester swab can be done without parental approval. Thats a long time to wait but to be sure you do need to know. If you like the girl for sex and sandwiches, well mate....you can also pay to have both of those in your life :) What is it other than that keeping…
  • The side chick doesn't always know. The offender is often the last to find out. My Mum was the last to find out when my Dad was doing the dirty. Family and friends didn't tell her 'because it was akward!!' So many reasons for cheating.... Sex. simple, its a need and a physical necessity to most of us. (self loving might b…
  • Sex and physical affection is a great thing to have in your life and I guess some are happy to compromise for just having that. It is a fantastic thing to have. God knows its great for us physically (awesome calourie burner!), mentally and emotionally. But us as individuals need to find out if this kind of sex is…
