Haha, grumpy.

I guess "Determined" would be cheating. ;) Friendly.

Giving up caffeine, huh? I couldn't do it, I'm a coffee addict. Giving up soda's a really good idea, though, and I did manage that. Good luck!

I'm recently single again, and the last time I was single like this, every night out was a perilous journey. If I didn't get enough attention or guys favored my best friends over me, it would lead to a week of self-doubt and low self-esteem. That was years ago now, but I'm happily finding out that being single with…

1. You look fantastic. Obviously. 2. Your style is so great! Your outfits are adorable. 3. i've been to the Sagrada Familia too! I have more or less that picture as well. Great, great job! I read the whole thing and was quite inspired. About to go run now. :)

Daaaaamn! You go!

I'm sorry your mom said that to you, and really, her atittude towards it is kind of what's wrong with our thought process about weight these days. So many people think getting older (even just out-of-college older) means you HAVE to put on weight or that your body isn't capable of maintaining a healthy weight anymore.…

... Why did I read all of this?

Hell YES to Spike! He IS my fictional crush. Gimmie, gimmie, gimmie! Also hell yes to Lelu--and I'll take Corbin Dallas too. As for my others, it's bizarre to say Heathcliff, but... yeah, Heathcliff. Between he and Spike, I'll be beautifully miserable in no time.

Immaturity in guys my age. Seriously, the early twenties have to be the WORST for guys. They act like long-armed little children. Even the CONCEPT of dating terrifies them.

It's funny, because I'm never sure either. People say it in all kinds of different ways. Girls are usually envious and family members are usually slightly concerned, lol. But I usually respond with thank you because... what else do you say?

I use Natural Bliss Coffee Mate coffee creamer or almond milk and honey in my coffee. Not much of a tea drinker, but I use honey in that, as well.

Could be that you made anyone who doesn't like to fish, hunt, mud, hike, etc into a prissy b!itch. Could be.

You beat me to the country joke. Now I have nothing to say.

Marketdimlyll: Second one of you and the baby! So precious.

Wow, congratulations! That's a great accomplishment!

I'm at my goal weight right now, which is 120 (okay, 121) at 5'5, and people tell me I'm too skinny. I am pretty petite, and I used to more of an average size, so I think that's why it's jarring for some people. It's weird, because if someone is just naturally thin, they don't seem to get as many comments as someone who…

5'5 as well. Heaviest= 145 Lightest = 121 Now= 121 Goal = 120 Definitely had a relapse and slid back up to 136, which I've spent the last few months working off. Really pleased with how I am now!

To stay motivated and keep going, you have to... stay motivated and keep going. There's really just no trick to it. I would say finding healthy foods you actually like to eat is helpful, so google recipes and find ways to make recipes you already have better for you. Also, let yourself have things that you want, just in…

Are you a fan-- Of Emily ****inson-- ?

My, aren't you a pretty pair shape! Congratulations on taking control of your life!

I was not your hostess. But there is a system in place for a reason--servers come in at different times, some sections are empty, there's a rotation, etc. YOUR host was just doing her job, and I sympathize with her. As for people being too big to fit at a booth, that's a really horrifying experience for ALL PARTIES…

Down here it's ice water, Splenda and a lemon! And you know what gets me as a host? When you walk a group to their table, and they look at EACH OTHER and say, "Oh, is this okay?" Like there's not a reason I walked you to this particular table. Oh, sure, just sit anywhere.

You know what annoys me as a restaurant employee? People who let their kids run RAMPANT. Coloring all over the table, crumbs everywhere, silverware thrown around, food and napkins all over the floor--it looks like a tiny tornado hit. I get that kids can be messy, but sometimes I think parents don't even CARE that their…

Eh, well, I currently work in a restaurant, and I know first-hand how annoying, ridiculous, snobby and downright horrific people can be to servers/hosts/bussers. So I tend not to judge too harshly. However, I do work in a really accomidating restaurant, so if I go somewhere and can't get something done a little differently…

It's most DEFINITELY a scam. I can't remember where the article is and have no time to find it now (which I know is like, one of the 7 deadly sins of MFP), but apparently the person who started Sensa did it before with another very similar product (read: the same), which didn't work. Google around a bit if you have the…

Yeah, this is what my mother used to tell me (but in a helpful way, not a crazy-mom-wants-her-daughter-to-feel-bad kind of way). I'm a HUGE comparer and also a perfectionist, so I think we're similar. The only way I coped was to work and work and work and work and work and work until I thought MY body was the best it could…
