Or, you could make a lifestyle change, build new habits, develop some self-esteem, and stop sabotaging yourself by having an unhealthy relationship with other people's opinions - with therapy if necessary.

If you ask for something that fits your macros and she gets you something else, you do not have to eat it. You can eat just a portion of it, or you can toss it and eat soemthing else instead. Either of those will make it less likley someone will disregard your requests and get you something you don't want to eat. Eating it…

Well, except that this discussion was about childhood vaccines, and children have a quite circumspect set of limited rights subject to the decsions of the collective, but also to their parents. Americans live in a society where education is both a right and a responsibility. School is a place that children, at least until…

Slow churned gets some of its fat and calorie savings from the air that is incorporated (it gets it's texture from including air rather than fat...oh, don't get me started) so it's almost impossible not to have it settle some when kept at the generally colder home freezer temps and very easy to pack it. To even try to…

Interesting how you skew rights as applying to one individual, but not another, and not to the collective. It means we don't make our own vaccines, grow our own foods, and slaughter our own animals, either.

Welcome to the human condition.

Two things: If you want a 10k training plan for the time you have, Hal Higdon has 10k training plans free online. If you want a walk/jog plan, Jeff Galloway has a good plan. Don't be afraid to start at the back of the pack. There will be less traffic and you can do your own thing. Plus, there are almost always truly…

No one will judge you. Unless, of course, you decide to go from run to walk break without moving to the right and checking over your shoulder for traffic before you decellerate. Then they will judge you. And, if they've learned from experience, probably plow right through you. Just be polite, and don't worry about what…

I'm so sorry for your loss. Even that generalization about diet (which I've seen before and don't recall any of the studies controlling well for the other factors that tend to go along with men who eat diets high in red meat and dairy) supports the OP's position. Fish is quite obviously an animal protein. Cultures with…

The reasonable suggestion is to follow the OBGYN recommendation that pregnant women be vaccinated for it in the third trimester of every pregnancy.

It's not a matter of easy vs. hard. Lifting the 400 lb. person is hard too. But, why log it unless the OP's activity level is already calculated to sedentary? There might be fits of CPR and heavy lifting, etc. but interspersed with near sleeping levels (or, in some cases, actual sleeping). Not to mention if you do the…

This is a nice idea if you don't get a sugar rush and crash from a large AM sugar load. I get up early and always have things to do in the morning so I usually do a good tasting protein shake in either water or coconut milk or baked eggs to pop in the microwave in the morning.

It is related to the HPV vaccine. The HPV vaccine is not as effective as condoms. [/quote] That's not true. The vaccine provides protection against the two forms of HPV responsible for 70% of cervical cancers. The barrier only protects against transmission through the areas it covers. The CDC's own site shows: Magnitude of…

That's actually her least nonsensical post this morning.

do you follow with a pulmonologist or a PG?

For the last time. Try following. You are arguing against NO ONE. Why? Because no one was arguing "It doesn't make sense to use condoms." Period. For the last time, condoms are only effective for the skin they cover, and no one has stated they should not be used. Latex is a barrier for lots of things. The problem is that…

You are not making any sense. The discussion is about vaccines to prevent transmission of HPV. That has nothing to do with your rant.

You need betetr music. :wink: I run most of my winter training on a treadmill and one thing I can say that's a huge plus, that first race you run - everything feels and looks like a wonderland.

You should note that no one in this entire discussion has asserted they shouldn't be used. But, using a condom to prevent HPV transmission is like trying to shovel snow with your umbrella - it's not the tool for the job.

Condoms may be good for REDUCING the risk of contracting certain STDs and be passable as birth control (12% failure rate with perfect, lab condition usage is better than nothing, but not ideal BC for anyone wishing to be serious about not having a pregnancy), but they do NOTHING to even reduce transmission of the HPV…

The shoe advice applies mostly if you run with poor form (think old school heel strike running - the kind that does ruin knees).

Actually, no. The best prevention for cervical cancer is to get the HPV vaccine to help prevent contracting the HPV strains it does cover, and then regular pap smears including the advanced HPV screening (not more than every 6 months for most women or, at minimum, annually) and if positive to do further testing and then…

Maybe I wasn't clear. The reforumulated vaccine was created because people who were vaccinated with the previous vaccine and still well within the generic 7-10 window were getting whooping cough (most were within 5 years of thier last vax). So if you got one in 2004 and I got mine in 2006, in 2007, only one of us was…

Bet they're not runners. I'm not 40 (yet), but I've heard all the dire warnings. I strength train, cross train, avoid TMTS, allow for recovery, and practice proper breathign and proper form. With all of those things in place, there's no reason to expect any of those warnings to come true. In all honesty, if you've been…

Yes. She does. On the upside, it's how most people make poor quality coffee bearable, either because they don't know good coffee, or don't care about coffee.

What we do know, all too well, is that cervical cancer can be fatal and even where not fatal can leave a woman infertile or unable to carry a child to term. Pap smears have definitely cut the numbers of deaths and HPV screening and removal procedures have helped, but those carry complications for fertility and life in the…

Your protein intake is way too low. I don't know what you weigh, but even 60 calories would only be appropriate for a person around 80 lbs. in body weight -and normally you aren't even getting that.

Nope. That's hitting a home run and then going back into the dugout without touching any bases.

Especially considering the fact that it was perceived as preventing an STI made parents less likely to get the vaccine for their children, not more likley since parents still harbor unrealistic expectations about their children. Given how easily transmissible the virus is, even with protection and even with relatively…

That's a brilliantly non-responsive answer. Regardless, there's a difference between having an opinion and making a decision. I would always allow my child to have an opinion, but at 11 they lack the education and expereince to make decisions of great magnitude.
