Log EVERYTHING. Including all the "go crazy" stuff you binged on. Consider opening your diary - if not to all of MFP, then at least your MFP friends. It helps to be accountable to at least one other person if being accountable to yourself is difficult. It is frustrating. I've done it - had a great day, then just EATS ALL…

It's funny to think of character and beauty in mutually exclusive ideas. I think the two concepts are intertwined more than we'd like. The "ugly person with a heart of gold" mythology is born from our idea of justice and fair play, as is the "beautiful person who is heartless" or even the "beautiful prince/princess who…

I haven't read all the responses in this thread and am not sure if you've been told this yet or not: you can edit the food entries in the database and correct them yourself. I didn't know this myself for a long time until someone told me.

What's the name of that band comprised of forum-posters who aren't producing music of their own? They were pretty good until the 5th or 6th page.

Agreed. Which also means delving into the motivations and/or character of others who have disparaged me (or you) is fruitless at best, and hardly supportive. OP, I'm sorry you were hurt.

That's why there are tumbleweeds there.

I love ending conversations by just walking away. Sometimes mid-sentence. It can surprise some people, but it's an ef

Oh crapp! Is this thing on?

Yes. And Yes. I went through a crazy period of eating Peeps. It was after Easter, they were on sale. Don't judge me. They hit that crazy sugar craving for me. One full sleeve of Peeps - that's FIVE chicks or rabbits - is only 140 calories. Five Peeps is enough to give me that sugar high and slight nausea I was craving. For…

Simply brilliant.

That's right. I forgot. You drive an Accord, don't you?

Excellent. Get some sleep. There will be plenty of soul-searching, forum advice and childish bro threats to read in the morning.

Reading this thread - your follow-up posts - it sounds like you were feeling pretty emotional when you posted originally. As someone has already stated, it's pretty difficult to get clear picture of a relationship based on a few posts. So, let's say this isn't a pattern and your boyfriend hangs out with a really bad…

Please heed this advice. Way too often, people get wound up over an idea that causes them concern and/or stress and they restrict themselves from foods (or meal timing) they enjoy. I firmly believe this modification is a leading factor in contributing to failure. But who cares what I believe. Do you own research. Look at…

That someone can take an incident where a teacher calls a student fat and use it as motivation to better their life does not mean the teacher provided the catalyst for success. Without knowing any more context (How old was this student? Was it a private conversation between teacher and student? in front of a class? Were…

Sorry, this is long. Slow day at work. I think you have to balance living your truth with some possible uncomfortable situations. The message you send your kids by hiding who you are can be potentially damaging. I support your choice to teach your kids to be open-minded and come to their own conclusions, though you may…

I think shame is an incredibly powerful mountain that many of us battle daily, and it doesn't need any outside help. I believe, outside of our parents, and our closest intimate relationships, no one truly has the power to shame us. Unless we willingly give them that power. Note that does not trivialize the widespread…

Firstly, I have a Vita-Mix, which I love almost as much as my children. That helps. I try to keep a few bags of frozen fruit in the freezer at all times. Cheap and easy, and doesn't require using ice cubes. 8oz Water or milk (almond, coconut or cow) - mostly almond 1 scoop Trutein vanilla 1 cup frozen fruit 1 cup vanilla…

Don't forget: makes point of not really knowing anyone here, then uses someone's own profile tag against her in a "clever" dig at not achieving same level of progress. In other words, a real class act.

Wow. I looked at your profile. You've been here over a year. This was your third post - nearly 10 months after your second post to the forum. I'm kinda bummed you're not more active. I think you have a lot to say. I agree with the stance you take in your OP. I like that you don't come across whiny, or that you're placing…

There is a joke about satiety here, but I'm too tired to think of it.

My first reply was more flippant than I intended. I have some follow-up questions: 1. "My friends tried to get custody, been working on it for 6 months." What does that mean? How did they attempt to get custody? Generally, the court awards custody - but only when custody is in question. If this woman is legal guardian, her…

What's the long version?

Ah, but you've stumbled onto a paradox. If you do indeed believe womanhood, manhood, ethnicity and cultural variance shouldn't be ignored, how can asking a question about a label addressing those living the experience of womanhood be ridiculous?
-
I don't know if you were trying to be funny and just playing off male/female stereotypes, but the idea that you can clearly articulate a want here and elect instead to not clearly articulate a want (leave cell phone in pocket) to your husband makes my head explode. You look beautiful in both dresses, by the way. I prefer…

My daughters. My wife. My friends. Observing people triumph over adversity. Observing people be vulnerable. Watching the sarcastic, snarky, twisted, depraved, immoral, reprehensible people on my friends list demonstrate patience, kindness and humility when helping others on this site.

Until a child is preparing his or her own meals independently, I don't think having them count calories is a good idea. I think teaching a kid good attitudes around food (balance, variety, moderation) far outweighs even the possibility of a math lesson with calories. The only people that should be considering calories (if…

I sincerely sense your sense of insincerity makes sense.

What is up with the chocolate-related usernames in this thread? Chocolate is uplifting, enlightening and happy making!! :flowerforyou: More than old fashioned, your assessment had me imagining the man in question donning feathers and worried about the next kill to feed the village. What about when the king from faraway…
