Listen to Amanda up there and realize that this is a fight you can win. It won't be pretty and you're in for a battle, but you can win. Life on the other side of that fight is going to be all the more sweet. Find friends who have been through it and cling to them.

The gym is social for me. I like people and I like training. It works. For me. I mean, of course feel free to jam your ear phones in and ignore everyone else 'cause yer all bad azz and ****. I'm kind of a nerd and stuff but it works for me.

Try it with tripe pho and you'll be hooked for life

It's a good starting program, and like any program consistency is key. As for any concern about getting bulky, you won't unless you're eating at a calorie surplus. If you're new to lifting, however, you will add muscle and lose fat, or to put it another way, you will recomp and your shape will change over time. Just be…

This is an amusing read, but I also have to say that I've experienced pretty much everything he discusses. If anyone has anything with more research support, I'd be interested and grateful, but this does seem to be what happens.

Focus on those grades. That is the most important thing right now. Cut yourself some slack on everything else and just do your best. But seriously, get studying!

I don't think you will find many people arguing in favor of current US farm policy, particularly the subsidies. We end up paying twice but it's not something that is easy to solve. As a citizen and consumer though we can choose what we directly purchase and make available to ourselves and our children. No, it is not a…

Your profile says that you love the Dr. Oz show. That speaks volumes.

That f I could do anything other than what I do now it would be position as a professor. That way I could spend my summers backpacking.

This sounds like one of those college challenges where if we're drinking those meatballs last a day or two longer than if we're not drinking. But seriously, 3 days tops, unless frozen.

You've outdone even yourself with this one. Congratulations.

I'll be walking little Elsa and little Black Widow around the neighborhood, so maybe I'll dress up or not. Maybe Captain America.

And there it is. The bubble of irresponsible parenting
-
So now, is your fault or the industry's that your child can't behave in a grocery aisle? I just want to be clear here.
-
I'd rather give my kids donuts and teach them about moderation. Even a 4 year old can learn about "sometimes foods."
-
Yea, it's all futile, life is unfair, give up now . . . Of course life has challenges, so it's better to teach your child how to face and overcome them successfully. Believe it or not life skills can be taught, but you have to do more than throw your hands in the air and complain.
-
Sounds like an excuse to me. Funny how I know plenty of kids at that age who can behave in stores. Not always, of course, but the vast majority of the time. It's interesting that you refuse to take responsibility.
-
No it's not. They're intelligent and I treat mine as future adults who can take responsibility for their actions, and learn about nutrition, athletics, and excel academically all at the same time. Set expectations high and encourage. It works. Or make excuses and blame the world around you for your children's problems.
-
That's what failures say about everything. It's not my fault. I can't control. Of course you don't have 100% control, but the absolute most important influence on any child is his/her parents, and if you're already making excuses with a 4 year old, all I can say is best of luck.
-
The word "sugar" has already been said at least three times. She'll be here eventually
-
I take responsibility for my kids. If you don't then you are the problem. My 4 year old does pretty well in grocery stores. She knows what she's allowed, which does include sweets, and funny enough her pediatrician is absolutely amazed at how fit (strong) both our daughters are. It's you, not the industry and sugar. Take…

+1 I do work hard to hit my micronutrient needs and get plenty of fiber, good fats, and protein, but I also make sure I enjoy what I crave in moderation.
-
Turn the brain off and hit the gym
-
Perhaps, set your calories so you're only gaining 1/2 pound or less a week. Other than that, worry less about the weight on your body and more about the weight you're lifting. Keep your mind focused on getting stronger and give yourself time for your focus to shift onto that.
-
That reminds me. I need to stop by Krispy Kreme in the morning and treat my office. Thanks for the reminder!
-
So 1814? I'd probably have the same profession. I'd miss modern medicine though.
-
Nice reading comp fail. Sure, now let's drop it.
-
Say that? You mean like what's up there in your quote?

In my world advising people to seek a professional's opinion trumps uninformed "advice" every time. You can play Internet doctor/psychologist all you want but it doesn't make it correct.
