First off you look amazing. Secondly, keep it up, try to focus on the positive people in your life, the healthy ones.

I have been learning a lot about this. My mother in law actually mentioned it to me just yesterday!! I am in, can I add you. Today is my first day. Last meal was last night at 10pm, gonna eat when I get home. Hungry!

Looking super forward to a turkey sandwich tonight!! And a baked potato :)

yes

everytime ive done this, the answer is 'no' right now I am logging my calories! and trying to check out the forums before I go home for the day

yes to stress eating and raiding the fridge, and cupboards, and then fast food joints, and rinse repeat. I'd like to lose 20 lbs, but short term goal is 10 lbs.

you are awesome, keep it up!

just brush your teeth first!

I will cheer you on! I am in the same boat. Getting ready to go out is a challenge because nothing fits but I trust to buy larger clothing.

I think the kind of food we eat helps. I also work in an IT Support role and when I get junk regularly I feel like I'm not on my toes as much as when I'm regularly healthy.

Great job, you look fantastic

I am just starting too! Nice work on the 8 lbs. I would like to lose 30. Hoping to do 10 in a month for my anniversary, I want to feel accomplished and proud of myself for it.

Glad the relationship was short. You can and will do way better! Inspired by you :)

I love The Happiness Trap, and The Subtle Art of not Giving a *kitten*

Thanks to everyone for their support, I am dipping out at this point. We are actually a really progressive couple! (Or maybe we aren't and I need to assess that). And when our schedules matched we often did things alone and went out without each other....when we wanted. But now it's like, I should go out just in the one…

Thank you. And I'm sorry for reacting, but I guess I came here to feel validating. Telling my dogs I'm lonely and bored gets old.

Having someone away long term with the hopes of a return, is quite different then 1 week on or off. I have some friends but to be honest, when girlfriends get controlling (which they have) or crazy (non stop talk about how they want their parents to die) I cut that *kitten* loose! Also you strike me as someone who doesn't…

Me too....I get competitive for fun but I honestly don't even care mostly

And potassium!! And what's everyone's issue with butter, I need some to be able to eat a ton of potatoes!!!

Thanks for the suggestion, but I understand it would be hard to find a job just for my husbands opposite shifts. I want to be able to spend SOME time with him

That is literally my plan, I wanted kids anyway but I feel like my involvement in their care will help.....

This is the story of my life. My work friend doesn't even talk to me anymore because I guess he hoped for more. I literally said hi to him the other day when we were passing through a door, and oh he heard me, and I was literally invisible to him. More background, we are 31 and do not have kids. Anyone that thinks we have…

Cant believe it, what a transformation!

You are sassy like me, so i respect and appreciate this. I nearly left last year and i regret it. When things become tough i cant just run away every time. Im married because i love him. Our schedules were not always like this. We have been together for 12 years, married for 4, and this schedule has existed for 3 years.

This is sound advice. And just to confirm i get him for one week on and one week off, not just one day every other week. Sorry if i made that confusing. I wish had the desire to do things....i started getting into hula hooping, i can try to get back into that

Let it air dry from time to time, live a little

I always thought they did. Gram for gram they're pretty dense

My fear of going to one is that ill get lost in the sea of ppl. The meetups always say that 15 or more ppl are going. Do these ppl know eachother? Will i be totally invisible and awkward, like the 16th wheel? I havent forced myself into that yet Thats even like these forums. I dont jump in if i see hundreds of responses,…

Yea im in the suburbs too! We lived closer to a city centre area but moved. Thankfully im beside a train stn so i can go to work downtown and be around ppl. I added Shapr, thanks for the suggestion, and it only shows American ppl

We honestly rarely txt when hes on his afternoon shift. I wake up at 5am so i go to bed no later than 11pm. He crawls into bed around 1am.... And dont get me wrong the relationship part is fine. Im just lonely, and bored as *kitten*. Hobbies never motivated me. I never did extracurriculars growing up (i started ging out…
