Definitely e-mo eating... esp. if I'm angry. Stuffing something sweet in the mouth stuffs the anger down..maybe because I hate conflict. But then again...I'm faced with internal conflict over over-eating!! So it's best to calm down, face the issues with a heart quieted by prayer, and deal with what's really driving me.…

I inadvertantly got ahold of some stew meat that was horse one time in the eighties. It actually was alright; a little stringy and tough, and a tad bit on the sweet side. Horses are good clean grazers, so the meat is fine; it's just such a weird notion to us Americans 'cause we think of them more as buddies, pets and movie…

Kudos to you for getting started again! I'm a 52 yr old mother of 13 kiddos, (Yes, 13! and wonderful blessings, everyone!) I'm definitely in the midst of all the "menopausal-funnies" too. Take comfort: There is some evidence that your natural tendency to retain a few extra lbs during this phases provides you your own mini…

Numero Uno: You are who YOU are, not what your body is. Your body is the vehichle for carrying the real YOU around in during our time on this earth... and so your vehicle's in the shop for a" few repairs" right now!?! The plus is; you're actually taking the steps to get it "fixed" not running around w/ your tailpipe…

I appreciate you posting this, as I see alot of faces on MFP that cetrainly aren't 18+ yet, and a whole lot of fear of fat driving a willingness to sacrifice long-term health for short-term acceptance. Starvation mode is'nt pretty on any age..young OR old... Balance is key...eating AND exercising moderately.

That's funny! What do you do when breakfast logue says you only have that much left and you HAVEN'T pre-recorded any meals or snacks?!:wink:

Raw wheat bran, available for cheap in any health food bin at your local grocer, is actually surprisingly tasty stuff..working 6Tbsp. into whatever you're eating in the course of a day is pretty easy and adds ALOT of healthy fiber. Try it in sprinkled on your oatmeal...your fruit and yogurt...toast and honey...even a salad…
