I do this too! Of course I have also been known to do my nails and eat so I guess it doesn't really work for me in that sense. Also I really just don't have the problem because I don't connect TV and eating - not that I don't eat with the TV on but I tend to read at the same time too (or do my nails :smile: )

I know 30+ year olds who have posted selfies from the ER (a couple guys I work with have done it) so posting to a forum where you were just discussing your symptoms for someone younger makes sense to me, I wouldn't do it but in this day and age it is not unusual at all.

I despise my job. I work for a horrible company in an office with a couple people who are terrible, one of whom I can only describe as truly evil. But it is almost impossible to find a good job and at my age I can't afford to quit without a new one already lined up. But honestly there are times I think that some of the…

Ruffles sour cream and cheddar potato chips. I just love them. Luckily they sell them in small 180 calorie bags which usually works out perfect for me. They are one of those things that I can eat one bag and be ok - I just have to remember to get the small bag (because I would eat the big bag too if I had one). Normally I…

I just log it all and it is a little added buffer in case I was off on something. I would rather be a little high then a little low.

Love it, drink it at least twice a day. Pretty much anything except Earl Grey - I tried to like it but just don't. I really love cinnamon teas - my fave is Sweet and Spicy black tea from Good Earth - the herbal is good too but I am usually having it at work so I need the caffeine. And when I have a cold (or anytime really)…

6 cats, one kind of was watching but the others were not interested. A couple usually get a little excited when I have on the Puppy Bowl (less so for the Kitten Bowl for some reason) but really only one ever pays attention to these kind of videos. She also likes to watch videos of fish tanks.

Yes, you are better off picking the individual ingredients you use (so for the tuna sandwich each part of it), weighing and logging it - either save it as a meal or a recipe if you have it a lot. For things like fruit I would say try to find the USDA listing - usually it lists the actual weight in those (not just something…

I will have a regular coke every once in a while (usually if I am really stressed out at work or not feeling great). I don't have diet but just because I think it all tastes gross. I just make sure to work it into my calories for the day.

I don't have one but I can tell you there is a Peloton store at the mall near me and it is pretty much empty every time I am there (we couldn't even figure out what it was supposed to be at first - they hadn't started advertising yet and it was just a couple empty exercise bikes sitting there empty). I don't take that as a…

I usually do the weight thing and divide but I do have the problem when I make soup that the pot itself is too heavy for my scale (enameled cast iron - I put it on my regular scale and it was 11 pounds) and so there is no way to do that so I picked a number for servings (my first attempt I went with 4, learned I should…

Pomegranate. I love most fruit, but pomegranate is by far my fave.

I take Vitamin D because my doctor recommended it when she noticed that my skin was the same pale shade all over in the middle of summer (aka no tan), because I am not a fan of the sun - it makes me feel itchy for some reason. Since I avoid the sun I need the boost, plus in winter it is an issue since the days are shorter…

Who will win - the advertisers. I admit I have no plans to watch the football game - I will be watching the puppy bowl and the kitten bowl.

The next time he approaches you tell him to stop harassing you or you will report him to management, And then if he keeps it up follow through and report him. I just did my annual harassment training at work today - this is basically the same thing they say to do.

For me it isn't a specific food but I feel that way if I eat something that isn't as good as I had hoped. Like if I decide to work in a donut and it is a disappointment, then that feels like a calorie rip off to me. Luckily it doesn't happen too often.

If you have Lake Michigan water and don't have a water softener then the odds are that you have hard water.

Every time I have visited family in Seattle it has been beautiful and sunny al week. I would LOVE to live in Seattle (or Washington in general) even if it is rainy a lot of the time. Although no hockey team is a big downside. Plus hasn't California had a bad drought the last few years - you should be happy for the rain you…

Agreed on this - I used to go to dinner with my dad once a week before he passed away 13 years ago, sometimes to a diner. I would give anything to have that back again even if I had to eat diner food. I would find a way to fit it in. He is 86 - let him be happy and just enjoy your time with him while you have it. Not all…

I love it but it is way to pricy for me to get often. I have been drinking it for years on and off (again, it is really pricy here) because it is one of very few flavored flat waters that doesn't have any added sugar or artificial sweetener (I can't stand the taste of artificial sweetener - just thinking about it makes me…

I took a quick peek at your diary and you are logging but may not be picking the best options. For example I saw one item that was just Banana - 1 banana. If you weigh the banana and then find a banana option that has weights as an option (grams are best) then you can put in the weight of the banana, I find a good way to…

I was able to get to it - way too long to read but I didn't see anything in that specific article to make me think that fat is an organ. Also the article is from 1974. I did find one article from Harvard Health Publications that did state that "it's appropriate to think of fat as an organ or gland" but other than that and…

5 pages later and I still haven't seen an explanation of what the "fat organ" is. That is the part that confused me the most, .

Loud eaters don't normally bother me but the girl who sits in the cubicle next to mine eats so loud it is crazy - I don't know how it is possible.
