Orrr ... hand out free wine first, then you can be as cheesy as you want and everyone will think, "Brilliant!" :) Just a thought.

Word. Wait, do people even use that anymore? Either, #3 speaks the truth

yes.

Saw this post, thought "oooh, that's me!" and then had the realization ... No, it's not. Not anymore, you 40-year-old person, you. So. Sad. :-( Have fun, 30-somethings!

CorvusCorax77 ... probably because you look like you would kick anyone's *kitten* who dared to call you a wh@$e.

It's a cultural difference. Respect it, don't go after him for it. Can we please not be Those People?

That is wonderful! I've been doing some thinking about goals myself! Thanks for the motivation.

Ummm ... not minor! you look great! Congratulations and keep up the good work!

^this. Thanks. :-)

Thanks for the inspiration!!! You rock!

Awesome! I love reading things like this... it's very motivating! Thanks for sharing!

Love this!!! Thank you so much for sharing! :-)

^this! And majorly good for you!

That is a great read! And seriously ... your body is saying "thank you for doing this for me" ... spectacular! :-)

I have had that exact thought!!!

Uh, touching you without being invited and doing it again after obv. body language of "no" ... that is officially creepy. And could very easily be more than just creepy. Def. make it clear that "No, no, no ... oh, hell no."

^that is exactly what I do. World's laziest bun - HA! I love it!

I'm with everyone else. You need to talk to your husband. Making you feel bad about your food choices is not going to help you make better choices. First, he should love you for you, not what you weigh ... and second, he should be supportive. If he had said "Let's not have the Oreos in the house" ... that would be fine. I…

Need more! Don't let fat win! Very funny ... and sooooo true, too!

I think what mcarter99 said is a good place to start. After you get a good start (although 17lbs down is a good start) just with the food, then add in exercise. And really, it's just about moving. I'm in a similar place as you, and at the beginning (probably first 40-50 pounds), it really doesn't matter how you move or…

That ^ being said, just because it's not shallow, doesn't mean you aren't a rude douche nozzle if you feel free to say to any overweight woman who asks you out, "sorry, I don't do fatties" or something similar.

It is shallow, but I wouldn't want to date someone who likes me or loves me but can't stand to look at me/touch me because of my weight. You wouldn't be doing overweight women any favor by dating them (you know, if you were interested in women) *DESPITE* their weight ... that's worse than a sting of "no, thanks. I'm not…

Very cool! Congratulations!

Beautiful! And inspiring! Way to go!

I'm with you!!! It's hard to give yourself time and permission to care for yourself, but you have to... we have to! Feel free to add me!

I think jdm120 has the right idea ... you know it's going to happen, so save a healthy snack for 9 ... and voila, problem solved.

Amygirl ... You owe me a new keyboard. And another cup of tea. D*mn you.

And I concur on asparagus... you can do so much with it. Just don't boil or bake the bejeesus out of it because mushy asparagus ... yuck. And get fresh. Don't even bother with canned. Actually, that would be my recommendation on all veggies. Get fresh whenever you can.
