Me three!!! except I leave it on the heat.....my mom taught me this way and she is the best egg cooker....she can soft boil an egg like a champ!!! Funny how there are so many different ways to hardboil an egg:tongue:

I always make my own dogs food....lots of chicken, beef, pork, brown rice, barley, carrots, peas all cooked together. One day my mother in law was over and wondered what was for dinner as it smelled so good....nope, didn't feed her dog food, but it was tempting:devil: :bigsmile:

For me, when I eat at my Dad's, it is all about portion control....I eat 1/3 of what I normally would have prior to starting this life change. He is an excellent cook, but its all about cheese, cream and butter.... As He lives an hour away, I have the excuse not to drink....'I'm driving' So I chug on my water the whole…

Has he seen a picture of you? I met my hubby online too, 8 years ago. If he has seen what you look like, there shouldn't be any surprises. Good luck and have fun! Beth

Long time ago I needed a name for a game site (pogo.com) and didn't want anything raunchy...I have always shelties and the one I had at the time was called Roger... As for the porno name, it would only work if I was a man or a super hero.....wait for it......Turbo Powers!! Beth

I guess with swimwear and all clothing on the more revealing side, the following mantra should come to mind for people of all ages....just because it 'fits' doesn't mean you should wear it. If your body is defying all laws of physics and gravity and exceeding maximum load for a scrap of fabric, perhaps the garment should…

I am not in the same boat, but I know that being skinny won't fix any of your problems. You will still feel insecure about yourself unless you work on your self- confidence as you lose weight. You will need to be careful because you will get lots of attention from men, but it may not always be positive, so be true to…

I think it also depends on how sedentary your job is....I was allotted 1740 calories to lose 2 lbs a week starting at 300 pounds.

Wahoooo!!!!!!!!!:bigsmile: :flowerforyou: Keep up the fabulous work!

As I type, one dog is lying asleep in a sunbeam...the other is asleep on the couch....we shall walk soon!!

Its a new day when you wake up. I am a shift worker and count the days from wake-up to go to sleep....makes it easier!

It's funny, but I used to equate coleslaw with creamy-mayonaissey/miracle whippy goodness, and found that with the pineapple juice as the main wetting agent, it was really good!! I have never seen Bolthouse products, but I will keep an eye out!

I typically like a sweeter slaw....made one the other day with about 1/2C pineapple-orange juice, dill, 2 tbsp light Miracle whip, salt and pepper and 1/8 C raisins and about 1/2 bag of slaw mix. I didn't log it as a recipe, so couldn't tell you the exact calorie per serving, but it was really yummy. Probably wouldn't do…

Your residual bloating/gassiness could definitely be from the dulcolax...that stuff is killer!! I have long thought I have IBS, and stress totally affects it. I take a probiotic 3 times a day and it really helps. Might help you be regular as it helps with the bowel bacteria.... Also, I agree with those that say increase…

Sometimes I have that much at the end of the day....or like the other night when I came home from work I had 1000 calories left. I didn't want to binge, so I had 2 cups of lowfat chocolate milk and some almonds. Both have high calories but aren't a lot of food (ie, not enough to feel like I had overate.) Beth

Being married a long while, I don't think that our 'activities' would burn a stick of gum.....:bigsmile:

Your blog is great (It sounds like my inside voice...and sometimes my outside voice, too!) Thank you so much for sharing....and congratulations on your transformation! Beth

I love WASA and Ryvita almost as much as I love multigrain melba toast rounds....If they made them smaller, I would love them more! I top them with a mixture of diced tomato, red onion, feta cheese, diced cucumber, basil and balsamic vinegar (kinda like a greek salad bruschetta) (My family has always loved PB and…

For me, I can't stop at one of anything if I am on a binge, so I am not buying anything that I know can trigger a binge for me. That being said, I love pizza....and I will eat a whole one, no matter how big, I just keep eating, even after it makes me sick. So, I made a homemade one, half ham and pineapple for hubby, and…

When I cook 'big', I calculate the calories for everything I put in it, measure the amount of the total (ie the number of cups for the whole pot of potatoes after mashed) and then divide it by whatever serving size I use. So, if I had 12 cups of mashed potatoes with a total of 1200 calories (this is an example, not a real…

those look super yummy...and I LOVE eggrolls! Beth

Yup...just finished the book last week and really liked it....it turned a light on in my head and I am working at saying NO to all of my highly addictive foods. Beth

Hey all...I think as food addicts, if you know what a trigger food is for you, you need to avoid it. For me, I am steering clear of anything deep fried. Yes, I love fries, but really, most fast food ones are cold and soggy....not hot, crispy and perfectly salty. I open the bag and eat them...they aren't very good, but I…

Hi there...neither of your problems is abnormal, especially if you are opioid naive. However, if you usually have a poop daily, you might want to consider a mild laxative or prune juice so you don't get completely bunged up. All that being said, after you have finished with the narcotics, if you still have problems feeling…

Thanks Sunsh1ne....as you can tell from my name I like shelties...I love their eyes!!! Hope everyone is having a great day so far! Beth

My first post on this site, and this thread rings true to me. I have just finished reading "The End of Overeating" by David Kessler. It really hit home to me and I can honestly say I have had three days 'sober'. For me, being food-sober means having control of my food, not the other way around. I can really relate to the…
