So have you ever spoken to a professional about this, first of all? I can't even respond fully to the sugar thing because I don't want to trigger you, but it seems to me like this is at a level where professional help is needed. That isn't an insult, lots of people need help for one thing or another and an ED might be your…

I have ink all over, from when I was skinny at 18 to being over 300 to now, and have had no issues besides minimal fading from sun damage. You'd think the one over my heart would have done something because I went from a C cup in high school to a DDD and back to barely a DD and yet it's totally fine. The others are in…

My boyfriend is about four inches shorter and 80lbs lighter than I am currently, so sometimes I feel like a giant. But lately he's taken to hugging me from behind and over the weekend while lsightly tipsy, he jammed his hands into what is now a very defined curve and indent above my hips (which tickles like all get out)…

My aunt does this 1-2 times a year EVERY year without fail. The reason she needs to do it so often is because she gains all the weight back that she had lost. My aunt is by no means even in the obsese catagory, but she refuses to count calories (I think because she drinks her body weight in wine every week) and she claims…

If that's the definition of healthy then I'm perfect and I eat processed foods all the damn day. I mean, skin cancer will probably get me one day but.

OK, texture issues I can understand as I'm completely turned off by certain textures. What's a veggie and it's preparation where you don't like the texture, and maybe someone can give an alternative to the preparation that changes the feel of it?

It's been said already but I thought I'd add my two cents, for what it's worth. No, it doesn't breed EDs. In my experiences the first time I joined, I got obsessive and crazy and while I lost 45lbs in three months I was eating like 1300calories a day (I'm 6' btw and that was crazy low) because I hated the red…

But....there's sooooooooo many kinds to choose from...try something new, or as others have said, juice, or chop into sauces. Suck it up buttercup, I doubt you dislike every single one that's out there, more like you don't like what you've tried or how it was made. Blanket statements like that aren't really how the world…

I'd have to lose 52lbs...that's not happening in 90 days. In the past 60 days I've lost 21lbs and it was fast at first and has tapered to a slow and steady now. Its great to set goals, but I think a little realism is necessary.

I read this and it resonated with me so much. I'm six feet tall, and I've never in my life been picked up by someone. I flip out when someone tries. I'm too embarassed by it and always have been to let anyone try even though I totally would love it if I could ever say, get a piggy back ride, or something.

For me, yes, I have to admit out loud what the number is. I find that if I don't say it to someone else, I internalize it, and then hide from it, and then ignore it, and then fall off the wagon. By saying it out loud to someone else, now they *know* if the number doesn't change and it's more inspirational for me to keep…

You're so right and I didn't even think about it because at my office there is no dress code. However, most jobs DO have a dress code...It's not like being an adult is a free right to dress how you want when you want. You can do what you like in your free time, but just like covering tattoos, keeping hair clean and neat,…

See, we're friends because I think our thoughts are on the same level, just unsure how to express it in a way that makes sense. But I dtotally get what you're saying! And you're right, not all high schoolers are children. I'm going off my experiences, though. I graduated at 17 and had NO emotional maturity to speak of and…

So I gained my weight super super fast after high school. Between 16 and 18 I probably gained 85lbs (and another 20 or so after that) so to people who saw me at work on a regular basis, I guess it made sense I was pregnant, especially since I carry my weight in the middle more so than anywhere else. Mortifying as a 17 year…

See, now you're just making all kinds of sense. I don't get how not caring about someone or something thing directly translates into "must be rude to them so they KNOW I don't care....

Having no children of my own and being past school age, my opinions are not very well formed on this subject. However, I think certain clothes are inappropriate for children. And let's face it, high schoolers are children. Short shorts and take tops, in my opinion, can sometimes be..questionable. However, once you start…

So once upon a time that exact scenario sounded like my life. But I was seriously sixteen at the time. In the years since (and I am by no means a mature adult at only 23) I've learned that it takes soooooooooooooo much energy to be rude. If I don't like someone and don't want to talk to them, I don't, but I still say…

I smoked when I was a teenager and quit successfully. Does it bother me when people around me smoke? Sometimes. Sometimes it makes me crave it, sometimes it makes me ill, but either I shift where I'm standing or their smoke break ends and it's not a big deal. The ONE thing that makes me a little nutty is at outdoor…

I dreaded my birthday when I was in grade school because my mom had neither the time nor the money to make or buy cupcakes or what have you for an entire class. It was just one more way I felt left out. I have therefore never understood the need to share food for a child's birthday at school because I was never on that…

In 2012 I dropped 45lbs. In June of this year I had gained back 36 of it...I'm back down 19lbs of it, but it still sucks I had done all that work and gained so much back. Because I stopped caring. It started with turning a blind eye for a day. Then a weekend. Then a week. And so on and so forth. I stopped stepping on the…

I am absolutely zero help to you then haha. Unless you like Phillipa Gregory? In which case I recommend her, and Phillipa Carr (similar style but older) and Victoria Holt.

Did you make contact with her when you were swatting her hand away? Because really..you can't do that. I know she's not supposed to touch your bike, but blocking her hand might have been a better choice. UNless I'm misunderstanding what you mean by swatting?

Well. Th eonly holiday my family really does is Thanksgiving and around them I don't mind telling them to eff off. I have my one plate full and carry on. This year, my bf's family is made up of food pushers so I have no idea. I need a strategy in place haha.

I fit ito some 18's, but all my 20's are too lose... I also weigh way more than 215 cause I'm so tall. 280 to be precise...but anyone that wants can add me.

I was going to say two because if it ever got to two frm my mom when I was young and I didn't get my butt back home before the third I'd get said butt beat haha. But then I remember being single and all the weirdly clingy guys who called ALL of the time but still I think 5 tops because I just start blocking numbers. Unless…

I'm aware of that, but I do all those lifts, just with lower weight dumb bells. I still get deadlfts, weighted squats, ohp, etc. in, just not with a barbell. I don't see how that's an issue. I prefer it, I'm intimidated by the barbell right now and until I reach a point where it doesn't make sense for my ability level to…

But I *want* to get better at those things, I should have specified. I'm not comfortable lifting a barbell right now because I can't, and I can't with proper form.

Hey all, I'm Erienne I fall into the LGBT spectrum, I used to game but I just don't anymore, and total geek. THat's about it. I'm certainly not as gung ho as a lot of people with my fandoms, but they include: Firefly Star Wars Supernatural Lost Girl Harry Potter and more.

I didn't read through everything so sorry if a repeat: I went to a gym to see about a trainer and I told her my goal was to eventually be able to "powerlift" which I know is a range and blah blah but I just said I want to ultimately lift heavy, but I still have 80lbs and 20% body fat to lose and have no idea form. She…

You could be overestimating your burns in your workouts. If you think you burned 300 but only burned 200, you're going to be off and that adds up. Also, how accurately are you logging? As in are you weighing where possible instead of measuring, etc.? There's a huge margin of error when you're first learning how to look at…
