You need to do a sinus rinse. You can buy it at the pharmacy but if you can't afford anything you can use a teapot or anything with a spout or a squeeze bottle with lid with a hole. Basically you fill it with warm water in which you mix equal parts baking soda and salt. (say 1/2 tsp total) Make sure it's dissolved well,…

I looked at your food diary, if that is accurate, I can see why you are hungry! you need to eat more and more filling foods rich in protein and vitamins and minerals, and fiber! Because of your phobia I would look up recipes designed for kids. There are lots of ways to hide veggies in foods and make healthier options…

Maybe your co-worker is jealous of your success? You are doing an awesome job. I know for myself my stomach is the last place weight comes off. It sucks! HUGS Jade

I have a whole host of joint issues as well as Sciatica and Bursitis in my knees. I find gentle stretching (the whole body but I do extra on my back and all my legs/hips) several times a day, Yoga and swimming as well I find are very helpful

I had a few pieces of chocolate last night and woke up to a facial rash and redness. Did you have chocolate or sugar?

Nope. I hate feeling constricted.

You want her to wear a low cut dress but then complain when she drops food/ meat juice in the low cut dress? This is the weirdest thread. you have issues and it's not your girlfriends clothing

I've been looking too. I want something simple that I can read easily and a watch style because I am sure to lose a clip on! I have been eyeballing this one http://www.polar.com/ca-en/products/get_active/fitness_crosstraining/FT4 and I've seen a few ones from Skechers online, but I can't find it in Canada

I often make "juice" for my toddler which is a fruit herbal tea bag in a jug of cold water (mixed berry is usually the go to flavour) you can do that in a restaurant with just the tea bag in a glass of cold water. It does flavour it and when it gets too strong she can add more water

If you live in an apartment you can climb the stairs of your building. I've done that too. :)

As mentioned find something you like (you don't have to love it yet) that makes you move, even if it's a little bit. Crank music and dance while you clean (double bonus you can log cleaning as an exercise), swim, walk, stairs. just move, a little bit at first. I will tell you I have done the whole gym thing in the past and…

so just a little update. I've lost 1.2 lbs since my last post after having upped my calories and tried to put in more exercise. Not a massive drop but I am happy. (and I should add I had fast food last night with my family) :noway:

OP move out and far away from your family as soon as you can. They have a seriously distorted view regarding food and health. My mother has that view of "I will love you if you are thin" mentality and it is so wrong and hurtful. I really feel for you. Get away and life you life for you! Work on learning to love yourself,…

What did he say? I just bought 2 of his products from the thrift store yesterday. Colors of your life audio cassette set and Groovin in the house. I have no idea what they are like yet but if anyone wants a review let me know

TMI but chia seeds do not agree with everyone. be careful! I like them but even a small amount and I can't leave the house! lentils, beans, veggies, berries, make hummus or bean dips, grain breads, stuff like that. I have a mini contest with myself to see if I can get more than my fiber total for the day.

OP I urge you to find a therapist who you connect with and will help you. if your current therapist is not helping, perhaps through your schools medical center you can find another or a different mode of help. If that is not an avenue of help then a hotline for eating disorders would be my next suggestion. What you need is…

sleep apnea can be genetic. Children can have it, my husband had it as a child. It runs in my husbands family (he and all his siblings use a CPAP) My Brother in Law lost maybe 30lbs or so and still needs it.

You have had a traumatic time! ill, on meds, in the hospital, back out again. The first thing I want to say to you is try not to be so hard on yourself. You have been through a lot, and it is going to take time for your to feel good again. It's not something that you should try to brush aside. This has been a big change…

I have this exact one. I have had it for 8 years and it still works great. I use it for weighing packages to mail as well and it's been accurate for that http://www.wayfair.com/Taylor-11-lbs.-Digital-Food-Scale-3801-TYR1058.html

I wasn't in a great place last night. I wanted to thank everyone for their kind words, ideas and support. Today is a new day with no mistakes in it :smile: Resetting the switch and moving on. It's lovely to be able to have a place to turn to and freak out a little and have people that understand.

I am going to read the rest of this in the morning. I do very much appreciate all the helpful input. Thank you again.

omg that kitchen safe is hilarious! I don't think that would work me, if I had it and wanted it, I'd break that thing to get at it! I try to not buy temptations, but yeah I have wine so I drank some tonight and my husband went for "snacks" and I was tempted so got him to get me a small bag of that "smartfood" popcorn, ie…

Thank you David those are great suggestions. While I don't actually normally drink, I do have a toddler so some days (!) wine is necessary after his bedtime. I am one of those weird people who actually likes her wine watered down. :huh:

I know I have to stop labeling food. I agree! I am trying to work on it. :) I grew up being hated for who I was, my mother did terrible mind tricks of telling me not to eat certain things because I was fat (I never was) and then buying my favorite snacks and monitoring if I ate them or not and how much. She would reprimand…

Well I do water down my wine so I guess it's not so bad. It's nice to read that I am not alone. Sometimes I read all the success stories on here and while I am really happy for them, I struggled with HOW did they overcome all their demons to get there? And I find it hard to see myself at the end sometimes

Thank you! I had been cutting out the "bad" foods (for my thinking of course) since before I joined MFP in January simple because I wanted a total fresh start Then i went to a wedding recently and I thought, "well okay maybe I can do this" and I didn't eat too bad that night but I did have some fried things and some sweet…

Thanks for that The calculator only gave me one shoe option. I guess I will have to drag myself to a store (groan, I hate shopping)

This is going to sound strange but did you change your shampoo or other hair care products? I changed shampoo once and I thought it was good for my hair (it had Argan oil in it) and my hair was falling out a lot. I have super thick hair and I could feel and see that it was getting less and less. Well I stopped using…

I just want to hug you. WTF?? is wrong with some people? Those "perfect" girls were miserable and decided to make you their target of all their unhappiness. It isn't you.
