Ha, you're funny. Seriously, though, everyone acts like an a-hole now and then. When you leave the house, you run the risk of being annoyed/offended/disgusted by another human. If you can't cope with that, feel free to stay home with the blinds down.

I may be the wrong person to ask about this, as I traveled to Europe (from the US) as an unaccompanied minor with my younger brother in tow repeatedly without incident. But here's my $0.02 anyway: I don't think it's a parent's responsibility to protect a child from every negative interaction that could happen, it's…

It is SO hard when something's going in with your baby and you can't fix it. It's heartbreaking, and I feel for you, and her. I second this advice. Even if there aren't any underlying issues, at least a couple of sessions will probably help you both see each other's perspective. Here's my $0.02: 1. While I applaud you for…

My solution is to put my ponytail at the nape of my neck, instead of high up (then do that fold-the-ponytail-in-half thing). Then I put on two headbands: one lower on the front of my head, almost to my forehead, and then another on top of that further back which is actually doing the "heavy lifting." I can't use the ones…

yeah, that's the exact face I'm making at my size 14 clothes right now. :)

I'm not sure what advice to give you since I do the exact same thing (especially the "well, I'm already over...") but I don't think we have a food addiction. Don't sweat it too much and try again next weekend, that's what I'm doing.

Portion control!

Thanks guys. I knew I could turn to you for some support :)

drink milk with your meals.

i count tea as water.

congratulations! good progress!:happy:

I know how you feel about turkey sandwiches! I would say - eat normal food. Just don't eat so much of it. Everybody reaches points when they want to quit. Also, I have one "cheat meal" a week. I know the true die-hard fans of this site will condemn me for it, but it keeps me on track. So... that was the best I could do for…

I feel the same way!!!!! Especially when I'm tired and don't feel like cooking and he'll say "let's just have burgers and shakes."

I used the gum. it helped a lot.

you'll be fine. losing weight is like quitting smoking - "slipping up" will NOT make you feel better. just chug some water. and good luck!:flowerforyou:

i stayed within my calories but.... i used all my dinner calories on beer. i'm not that hungry but i feel bad for being so unhealthy. i'm a drunkorexic today :(

how do you post pictures?

from what i have read it seems that fish oil is really good for you but not *that* helpful with weight loss. I don't know though, I am interested to see responses too.

Just as a warning - I saw some shiritake (sp?) noodles called miracle noodles and bought them. NOT GOOD. Really, really, really gross; smelled like fish. Just eat small portions of regular pasta.

10 pounds down! :happy:

i like the gym because i like the classes. i find i work out harder when everyone else is working too.

yes, i think you are being impatient. 1 pound a week is the healthy amount to lose, and if you lost your 1 pound in a week, you are perfectly on track.

i got my wisdom teeth taken out this morning! boo! :cry:

can anyone tell me why drinking diet soda is bad? i like them but everyone in mfp seems to be giving them up. why? i understand giving up regular soda, that stuff is bad news. but diet? what about mineral water? it is carbonated too. i looooooove mineral water, please don't tell me it's bad for me!

yeah, i think that going over on your protein is not that big of a deal as long as your calories are pretty close to what they are supposed to be. so don't sweat it!:smile:

i wish my apartment wasn't so messy. next word diamond

turn around... bright eyes (every now and then i fall apart):tongue: next word is smash

uh oh, i feel a fart coming on! next word is expensive

spread it on your turkey sandwich instead of mayo
