There are a lot of VERY legitimate things that can cause these kinds of taste/texture aversions - things that can be crippling if they aren't caught by the system. Sensory defensiveness can indicate you are somewhere on the autism spectrum (being an undiagnosed adult on the spectrum trying to cope with life is hell and…

I'm from Boston, the city still hasn't recovered from the record blizzards and our public transit is still messed up! We've been on national news. Over 100" of snow over a period of two weeks! It's madness and my usual 30 minute walk to the gym has become over an hour of ankle-breaking goodness, so I'm having a hard time…

hi oh2sweet! I never exercised in my life and the very first thing I did was a boxing conditioning class. it got me started on my journey and I LOVED it! it's a small group training class at my gym and there's only ever max 10 people (usually more like 4 or 5) so I like the personal attention and the fact it's full of…

I LOVE THIS THREAD!! We need more positivity! I love that I am super optimistic and determined to see the good in everything.

I don't know ANYONE who can put just a tablespoon of cream cheese on a bagel! It's very easy to underestimate stuff like that. A tablespoon of cream cheese is like a dollar's worth of quarters stacked. Is that really all you're using? Measure measure measure :)

ROAST 'EM! For real! They turn crunchy and yummy and you have a high-protein snack. http://www.chow.com/recipes/30368-spicy-oven-roasted-chickpeas

You sound depressed dear :) I was in your spot. Then I forced myself to get up and go to a boxing class just once a week at 6am before work. I go straight to work all smelly and don't care. Whatev. Then once a week turned into twice a week and then I added a running class and now I know I'm going to have a crappy day if I…

You're a pear shape <3 embrace the bootay!!

I worked as a telemarketer through college. We're not all weird low-lifes who don't realize what we're doing is annoying. A lot of my coworkers were mothers who needed the flexible hours, or disabled folk who needed to telecommute. I was working myself through college and the schedule was just right. By the way, the Do Not…

I can relate 100%. See a doctor before you see a psychiatrist! So many things can cause this. Even not drinking enough water. Are you depressed? Do you get enough sleep? Think of physiological causes first :)

C25k works! Started in October (never ran, even after a bus or across the street, in my entire life) and ran my first mile all at once in ~14min last month. Just do it!

I just wanna say the love in this thread is awesome.

This was always an issue for me. Now I get up even earlier and exercise + pound water first thing in the morning. I can usually snack on some nuts & fruit mid-day and get a really satisfying dinner when I get home - I think the exercise helps suppress my appetite :)

Drooling!! Will you share your chicken salad recipe? :) Pretty please?

Put it on your bucket list. It is among the greatest things you can do for your mouth. OP - it's just an eye-opener, doesn't mean you gotta be judgemental. like "Wow, I can't believe I used to do that." Silently thank whatever you pray to that you figured it out before it was too late. Not yo bizness - everyone has their…

I had a serious fast food addiction. That coupled with binging honestly might have killed me. But I developed a gluten allergy and suddenly it was all off-limits. I just had to stop, I didn't have a choice. Now if I want fast food it has to be Chipotle or something similar. Pretend you have a gluten allergy. GOOD LUCK!

I wonder if there is some truth to this for certain body types, because ever since I cut out these 3 my entire life has changed. Healthwise and fitnesswise. I think this will probably piss people off touted as a magical mystery cure but for me, it was a huge step because it got me eating greens and fruit and my acid reflux…

Lifetime movies are AMAZING! I've recently had a marathon, including such masterpieces as: The Wife He Met Online The Husband She Met Online The Boy She Met Online The Wrong Woman Deadly Spa Missing at 17 Kidnapped at 17 and many more! There's nothing greater than a warm blanket and terrible Lifetime movies!!

Seltzer! Always seltzer!
