If you and I were married and you would eat no sauce (only ate noodles) and I would eat no noodles (only ate sauce) and we ate spaghetti all the time, then our plates would be clean because we each refused to eat what the other liked. So it all works out. Or, this: Jack Sprat rhyme Origin to words of Jack Sprat can be…

I think everyone is different and we process food differently. There are some people who swear by working out on an empty stomach. I can't do it. I've tried. I have to have something in my belly, or I will get light-headed. I don't need much. Just something on my stomach. I used to drink apple juice with protein powder…

Sorry. Can you move your fingers a little bit? I'm trying to check out your phone.

This is presumptive. While it is true that I'm on here for support and motivation, I don't need moral support and often negative words are great support for me. Many of my friends encourage me with teasing and sarcastic comments, and I love them for it. So maybe "negative words" are undesirable to you, but not for me.…

Thank you for your follow up posts. I sure hope this thread sticks around because I want to link to it as an example of someone posting something emotional and personal to them AND STILL HAVING A SENSE OF HUMOR when people post jokes, snarky comments, etc. It's OK to laugh. princessjanice - thank you for being a good sport…

I honestly thought you were going in a different direction when you started.

Your profile says you are 28 years old. Surely you've had to say no before, even though it might hurt someone's feelings. Now is one of those times.

Sounds like you have a lot of love to give. I hope you find someone who loves children as much as you do and you can be happy together parenting. In the meantime, you don't have to keep all that love bottled up waiting. Do you volunteer? You could "practice" some of that nurturing by working at a children's shelter, for…

But what if she truly didn't get it. What if she needed more information. I didn't get it either until I read some of the other comments. You do see the hypocrisy in your post, right?

That is a cool gift. Queen is the only band where every member wrote a top 10 song. Nope, not even the Beatles. Poor Ringo.

I love Bikram yoga. I wouldn't consider it a calorie burn activity, though. I think 300 calories for a 90-minute session is about right. That's for me at 200 lbs. It's not really an intense workout in the sense that running or aerobics would be. I have read that the higher temp can contribute to the artificially high HRM…

You're doing it wrong.

I really only dislike the stubble. Hair doesn't bother me, but the stubble feels weird. Some women have baby fine hair and shaving would be overkill/unnecessarily create stubble. But even some woolly mammoths I've known weren't too bad if they didn't shave for awhile. Once it's long and not too poky, I don't care so much.

Well played, you.

Quit pushing your gay agenda on us. Food should be brown and green like God intended.

I'm confused. Are you complaining about people not being supportive? Or people being too sensitive/not enjoying some fun? Those are generally in conflict with each other here.

Not everyone has that smooth awesome voice that you do.

I love this. I log in to MFP to count calories, to weigh in, to get information, to try to help others, to laugh, to tease, to get teased. In other words, a lot of what I use MFP for is social. That's why I'm sticking here. There are plenty of other fitness/weight loss sites that do pretty much the same thing. But I've…

First off, thanks for your post. I wish all support requests/I need help posts included this kind of detail, because it eliminates the fluff (ex: I can't afford an HRM right now - we don't have to recommend that). I also applaud your thinking. You are being careful, asking questions, trying to learn. I think the MFP…

The eternal question that will never definitively be answered. You can make a case for both. The best? Most successful? Most original? Most creative? Most lasting impact on music? I spent years answering Stones, but have changed my mind in the last 5-6 years and now answer Beatles. Though I'd probably put Queen slightly…

Awesome post. There is so much good truth in here. Read it again. Soak that in.

I think that's the problem - a lot of people don't even bother to read the diaries and just see that a friend was under their goal and wants to be supportive. I wouldn't assume every WTG! is someone looking at the diary entries. I'd guess most are just looking at the statement that their friend us under calories for the…

But We. Will. Do. It. Anyway. Because we must.

We're all doused with messages that we could be better - media, friends, parents, etc. I think this affects men as well as women. Though I do think women get a whole lot more pressure about an "ideal" - at least a physical ideal. More so in different countries, but it exists all over the world. I'd like to think that most…

Do you mean another family member? Or a really maternal friend? Then who cares what we say on the Internet? What does he say about this thread? See my response to #2 above. Also, because there is nothing on TV. Is that was this post is about? Are you asking if I've ever had anyone do this same behavior to me? No.

I keep my diary open, but everything listed is actually encoded to mean something else. I have a giant spreadsheet for what all my food entries really mean.

Plus, candy tastes so much better when it is splashed with the tears of the child you just stole it from. Mmmm... salty pain.

Yes. This ^^^ That's really it. Don't obsess, just make the adjustment niner recommended. Enjoy your chocolate.

I am sorry you are experiencing pain. Sounds like a pretty crappy day. I'm not sure what you expect from your post, however. That's a lot of description about someone else's behavior. No one on this site has access to your husband (as far as I know), but we have access to you. You have shared your frustration. Are you…
