and having scrolled up and seen the woman putting others down for choices … at the ex's office parties people's eyes would glaze over and they would move on quickly when I said I was a homemaker and a close friend whom I met once a week for lunch made some snarky comment when I had to cancel a lunch for a parent teacher…

I am not going to read all the replies but I will answer from personal experience. My ex wanted me to stay home with our kids. He was a latchkey kid and wanted our children to have all that you described~ a mom at home when they got home from school and there when sick etc. Honestly I hated it. Not so much because of the…

I am a total newb so really have no business saying anything but I cannot resist…. hair falling out and breaking off is not a sign of being healthier it is a sign of trauma/stress and generally marks a period of unhealthiness. What you meant to say was the thinner you get the worse it is. As a person with long hair {well…

ok I had to quote this just to know where to find it.... nom nom nom

Well I would suggest you add some fat to your diet... a handful of nuts, eat the egg yolks with the whites, maybe drizzle your salmon with some olive oil and herbs. I am not seeing any vegetables or grains in that list of foods you eat. Surely you are not eating just fish and egg whites? Anyway if all you are eating is…

My ex worked for a company that was tracking the success rate of various treatments for insurance companies. Most insurance companies will choose to pay or not pay for something based upon that information. I believe the info tracked was if Dr A gives patient A this treatment and Dr B gives patient B this treatment which…

I mentioned this elsewhere but my biggest gripe isn't the cold or forgetfulness or foggy head or lack of eyebrow ends but people who know I have hashimotos and know it causes me to be forgetful and get hangry if I forget to eat properly dismissing my upset or what I consider normal scatteredness as a here eat some food…

hmmmm I have had shepherds pie but what I do is measure everything as I am cooking, put the information in the recipe builder part of diary, then portion everything out before serving anybody. That is if the recipe makes 6 servings then I actually cut it into 6 and set aside the ones not being eaten now for lunch or…

If you are working out you are building muscles. Muscles weigh more than fat. You could be losing inches but the scale could be at same spot. Take out a tape measure. Your fiancee says you can see the difference in your face and your chest so I can only assume you are getting smaller. Some of us lose our guts last… you…

I keep coming back to this… I am kinda surprised to be honest by all the don't feed him posts. I have never had a friend or family over, much less a lover, and not offered them food or drink especially during meal time. It is part of being a host{ess} and nothing to do with being susie homemaker or grown assed woman with…

I didn't post this yesterday because it is kinda high fat but if you are on a low carb thing it is a good one thai curry 1 Tbs coconut oil << heat in pan 1 lb sliced, cubed, shredded, ground meat of choice << sauté in oil 1 can coconut milk<< can be light tho I always use the full fat one. Not sweetened please 1-3 Tbs…

Ellie Krieger has several fried rice variations... you can google her name and fried rice but here is the first time I saw her do it: http://www.finecooking.com/recipes/five-treasure-fried-rice.aspx the only trick to fried rice is starting with cold rice so that it doesn't need as much oil to crisp up {I don't know why but…

I have hashimote's as well. And take synthroid. Have been doing so for oh 7 yrs now. My dr, who used to be a pharmacist long ago, told me to never get the generic for my synthroid... too sketchy. My pet peeve is whenever I am feeling mentally scattered or angry somebody saying oh did you forget to eat o.0 Like I am not…

I don't think most people realize that server's minimum wage is different than the national minimum wage. Last time I waited tables the min wage for servers was $3.15/hr while the minimum wage for the guy flinging burgers at mcdonalds was $6. Servers rely on tips and often have to split their tips with the bus person…

I am roasting a ton of chicken and veggies {separately} to throw in or on to salads and frittatas or stir fries

ps a good thing about knowing how my body works is that it not only wants to not lose when it gets to a 10 lb mark but it also doesn't seem to want to gain at same place. I can eat like a cow being fattened for the kill and not gain when around that spot but if I break it then I zoom up until I am close to the next 10.…

I have hashimotos which is a genetic disease that kills your thyroid … in other words I am hypothyroid. My physician told me that at the most my thyroid accounted for 20 lbs. When I became medicated I only lost 7 lbs so being hypothyroid doesn't cause as much weight gain as we wish it did .. only because we like to think…

1 % of weight per week is the standard max I have heard. So at 170 that is @2lbs /week. By the time you are under 150 you are talking more 1 lb a week. AND it will be harder to lose because, as others have stated, you will need less calories to maintain and therefore it will take what is generally considered dangerously…

I am not sure links are allowed {am new here} but an example is this ginger scallion sauce at lottie + doof http://www.lottieanddoof.com/2012/02/ginger-scallion-sauce/ it is salty and has an oniony ginger flavor that goes well on beans, eggs, obviously any oriental type of stir fry... can be used as a dipping sauce with…

Since he is not dieting and not in need of losing weight I would suggest upping the fat content of his meals so that they are more satisfying. Eggs, Cheese, Whole Milk or Cream etc. My ex did not feel satisfied with a vegetarian meal~ psychologically it wasn't a meal without meat {my mom is the same way fwiw} so the best I…

I think it is 1200 for a base and then eat your calories. I get 1200 as well {also new} and I weigh twice as much as you so you would think that I would need more calories simply because I need more just to stay the same. I think it is insane to only eat 1200 calories if you are running... anyway I don't have any clues as…
