your thighs look smaller to me, but it could be the way you are standing

No, I'm Irish. I don't even know what sport the Celtic team does. Not a fan of sports. I don't even have a TV.

This happened to me once, but that was because when I made an appointment, the nurse didn't tell me not to come if I was menstruating. I have an extremely unpredictable period, so even if she had told me, I couldn't have controlled that. The doctor went ahead and did the pap smear, which came back abnormal, but she said…

I think that might have been the problem. The brown rice I ate before was long grain. YUCK. This rice is medium or short grain. Much better.

Aww, I don't want to hear this. I was just told I'm going to have to have gallbladder surgery this summer. No one said anything about gaining weight. It's not fair!

http://www.onlineconversion.com/ This website can convert anything to almost anything else. I use it for weight and volume all the time. It's super easy to figure out too.

It's the sweet tea that does me in. If I don't watch myself I could easily drink 1/2 my calories. I'm 5'1" and started at 200 lbs. Supposedly my ideal weight is around 120 lbs., and at one time I was there. Now it's hard to imagine that and thinking about losing 80 lbs is intimidating. Right now my goal is to hit 160 lbs.…

I've eaten all the weird sushi stuff, squid, jellyfish, eel, ect. and love it all. When I was 9 I really enjoyed eating dry cat-food and uncooked ramen noodles. But the weirdest thing I ate as an adult was emu summer-sausage.

I've always wondered about this. Back in high school I had a problem with anorexia. I managed to pull out of it before I got too messed up, but I did get down to 96 lbs, and I'm 5'1". Like I said, I know it could have gotten much worse. So I wasn't eating anything then, so I'm assuming my body was in starvation mode. If…

I'm a full time grad student teaching undergrad classes. I'm also in finals week, though for me that means 20 page papers rather than traditional exams, and I have to grade 19 manuscripts of poetry for the class I teach. At the end of every semester I have a 2 week manic binge that screws everything up. I just pulled…

I've got 5. celtic ravens on my right arm a triskele on my left arm a youkai kitsune on my ankle (japanese shape-shifting fox demon) a pentacle between my shoulder blades and a my favorite line of poetry (i'm a poet) by pablo neruda just below the nape of my neck-it says, "and not to speak is to die among beings" I've…

pilates focuses on strengthening your core

My brother's a licensed cosmetician, and he was told by a doctor that taking 5000mg of biotin a day would help. I have noticed my fingernails growing like crazy. I have to keep biting them off.

I'm in NC. I love tempestuous weather, so I went out on my porch to watch the lightning and the thunder and rain lulled me to sleep. Then my mom called me freaking out that she saw on the news tornadoes touched down in my town. I slept through the whole thing. I looked outside, and there was insulation from the roofs of my…

This is my first year of grad school, which involved moving out of state away from my husband (long distance relationships suck) and starting an insane schedule of classes, teaching, and homework. I went into freak-out mode and stopped eating. I just didn't have the time. After a month I realized that I had gained a bunch…

I make these soups with vegetable broth and different combinations of brown rice, black beans, lentils, spinach, carrots, and mushrooms. They aren't the most flavorful of meals, and my husband thinks they smell bad, but my dietitian said I could eat almost as much as I want of them. She did say to stay away from most…

maybe some of the seated yoga or pilates positions? or swimming once your surgery incision heals up?

I have this problem with sweet tea, and I'm from the south so my tea is SWEET tea. My dietitian said that if I drank 8 glasses of water a day, I wouldn't want tea anymore. I told her that if I had to choose between tea and oxygen, I would choose tea. So far I am right, and she is wrong. Water doesn't help, it just makes me…
