Trans fat police! I'ma give you a ticket!

I think you're right. This isn't a life or death (of the relationship) thing for either of us, as far as I'm concerned. A professional might be a good option. I don't think either of us is right or wrong-- we just need to work together to solve this. :)

I should also add that for those of you who are saying I'll make a mess of him, he's NOT upset with me-- and he's VERY calm about this whole thing. We don't argue much. We speak our minds. Like I said, this IS something we talk to each other about. It's more about the "definitely want" thing that's scary for me. If if I…

Damn. This seriously exploded. In re: talk before marriage. I've always been somewhat impartial about another child. I didn't think it bothered me. We never talked about it seriously-- it was always kind of a joking conversation. Part of that is on me. We joke a lot. We're goofy. It's just how we are. That said, this…

I slept on the couch last night because i was unable to sleep (yes, due to baby issues). It was not in anger or anything. No one was upset with one another, and we were both fine. It was more so because he snores and unless we both fall asleep at the same time, there's no chance I'll ever fall asleep after him with his…

This is 100% absolutely untrue. I said before I'd be willing to sacrifice for him. Did you not read it? Having a baby isn't a 99-1 thing. It's either 100 or 0. It's kind of hard to make this less than 100%. I'm not saying it's all about me. I just want to be at peace with the whole thing. It's kind of hard to just leave it…

Um... i don't think he does, hence his trying to talk to me about it pretty much every day. Thanks for the thoughtful response, though. :/

Thanks, all, for your kind responses. I'm going to talk to him. I just want to be able to do it with a level head without bursting into tears. I think I'm more credible when I don't look hormonal. :) Thanks again. We'll see what happens. We're due for a talk tonight because last night I slept on the couch due to my unease…

I was thinking this too. I was thinking proposing a two month "try" period and letting God decide. He might be receptive to that. :)

It definitely is for me too. I will definitely tell him that. I'm just afraid because this is such a black and white situation. It's like... one of us has to bite the bullet. There's no compromise here, although as I said above, it's not something I'd leave him over. I do think I'd have an empty spot for the rest of my…

(Response to MyPsalm-- sorry, I forgot to quote) : I think the hardest part about this is that there really isn't any compromise. It's not like we can have half a baby, you know? I am glad he's talking to me about it. I just feel tormented because it seems so unproductive to have these talks when there's no reasoning, you…

I just look at them really hard and turn on my laser heat vision for exactly nine seconds. Boiled eggs so good you'll punch a puppy.

I ate one sunflower seed and I got so fat because it was like eating the million sunflower seed offsprings that the plants the seed would have produced would have created if I hadn't eaten it. So basically, one sunflower seed = 9,273,928,293,127,109,922,011 sunflower seeds. IF ONLY I WOULD HAVE KNOWN! ETA: I sound high. I…

You know, I used to think I could tolerate no more than say, 35g net. The more I do this, though (and I've been doing this for a good 6 years now, off and on), the more I realize that the type of carb matters more than the carb itself. For example, I can tolerate small amounts of sugar (raw honey, maple syrup, etc.--…

Vitamin D is a wonderful thing. It prevents cancer, aids our immune systems and keeps us healthy in a variety of other ways. During the winter, I take 8,000 - 10,000 IU daily, orally. In the summertime I bump it down to 2,000 - 3,000 because you can usually get what you need from sunshine. I was vitamin D deficient several…

And yes, this! I'm also grain free (haha... well, 95%-- I had a little run-in yesterday with some rye bread...lol). My extended family has been saying really rude things to me lately. "You know you're really running off the rails..." "What are you, some kind of hippy now?" It's hurtful, but it's ignorant. Let them eat…

Best way to do it, no doubt! As of the first of the year, we stopped buying grocery store meats and began getting them from a local farmer. We are able to go down and see his very small farm and animals whenever we want, so we know they're treated well. No hormones, no antibiotics, grass fed goodness! He hooks us up with…

This for me too. In baking and cooking I use natural sweeteners (xylitol, erythritol or stevia), but in my morning coffee I have saccharin. I have a few packets a day of this and I think I'm OK. :) I think the only aspartame I ingest is in the form of breath mints and diet soda, which I consume rarely but not never. :)

Ugh... misinformation kills me. Agave is worse than HFCS in a lot of respects-- at least the agave we buy in stores. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/dr-jonny-bowden/debunking-the-blue-agave_b_450144.html

I'd like to be able to go to the doctor without having a freak out about getting weighed in front of someone. Lots of other things, too-- but seriously-- I'd love to be able to not be embarrassed by those numbers anymore.

This sounds ideal because I have all of those things already. Thanks a ton!

I will keep this in mind. I want to start focusing on more strength than cardio (per my health coach). I'm hoping I can get some used equipment for cheap.

Muy fantastico! :D I knew you guys would be a help! :D

Definitely what i'll start off doing. Any recommendations using household stuff?

Perfect! Thanks! :D

I have a half empty basement with nothing in it but a treadmill. Garage sale season is coming up. I'm thinking freeweights? :)

Isn't 30 DS mostly cardio though?

I'm about to be 29 on Friday. I officially have one year left in my 20s, and dammit, I'm getting this crap DONE! :D

Whole milk (raw if you can get it!), pastured organic butter and coconut oil (just a few tablespoons a day will set you back 360 cals-- and it's incredibly healthy, energy-giving food). High cal, high nutrition! :) Oh, and cheese. Preferably organic-- maybe even raw milk cheese (Organic Valley makes fabulous raw milk…

Apparently I'm the only one who thought this was effing HILARIOUS. hahahaha
