sweet potato! I hate the texture and sweetness. Here in Hawaii the sweet potatos are purple, less mushy and not as sweet. I can eat them as baked chips, but not any other way. The orange ones...never.

I usually 'graze' I just snack all day. Sometimes I will eat a larger meal, like if I go out with my husband, and don't sweat it.

I have Hashi's too, on 175mcg synthroid. My doctor did not recommend my getting all my protein from soy, as at the time of diagnosis I was eating tofu and soy milk every day, as a vegetarian. I started eating animal products and did feel a bit better after the adjustment period, much more energy and my TSH levels became…

Yes, the societal ideas of masculinity are harmful to men, incredibly restrictive, in what is acceptable behavior, dress, attitude, etc. In some communities the pressure is incredible. FYI all domestic violence advocates will work with men, even if the shelters are women only, advocates and lawyers will work with men, but…

You are right, I glossed over the hogwash line to the statements below it. I am sorry. I think this is an issue that affects both genders, but since the genders are treated differently within it I think that needs to be part of the discussion. Not to leave anyone out, but to discuss the situation and a solution with a view…

The attitude that you displayed is that the victimization of men is equivalent to women, in cultural consequence it is very different, and when you tell women to step out of women's studies classrooms to 'win' that invites further hostility and pits it as us vs. them, which you continue to underscore in your recent…

All true, generally we only see complaints about male objectification as an argument to devalue cancerns regarding female objectification. Not to say it doesn't happen to both genders but both the level of objectification and the level of its consequences on the cultural pressure of women to live up to the ideal are…

It is good he was there to help, obviously intervening at the time was good for those children, my qualm was posting the incident under the title 'how are some people parents?' Posing the incident here with that connotation does nothing to help the children, all it does is give people an outlet to judge an incident that is…

I went to a college that had one, I used it a few times, but it felt like being in an aquatic hamster wheel, no sense of time or how far you have gone. I found it so boring that it was hard to do for longer periods of time, as 10minutes felt like an hour. I also found it challenging to get the resistence right, if it was…

I assumed it was directed at my response. I agree there is always someone who brings in other possibilities, I am fine with that being me. In my work I have become familiar with very diverse socioeconomic communities and undeserved populations, it has been my experience that everyone who does something like this girl did,…

Thats why I love the crockpot, throw everything in, a bag of frozen veggies, lentils, a couple cans of diced tomatoes, a chopped onion, and a carton of broth, and chicken or sausage if I have any. Just let it go all day, eat some for dinner, then freeze the rest in tupperware and I have leftovers for days! And infinately…

Oh and eggs, omeletes are a cheap meal. And check this out: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/04/03/healthy-cheap-shopping-tips_n_1397292.html#s834027&title=2_Stop_Buying

In college when I was 22 I subsisted on chef boyardee, cheap granola bars, ramen, tuna, bananas and frozen veggies. Not my best years, but I lost weight! I had an auntie that used to invite me over because 'I looked like I needed meat' :P If you can, get a crock pot, you can make decent soups with dried lentils and beans,…

My mom used to say that she had kids so someone else would do the dishes. Now the amount of other crap she had to do multiplied because of us, but she never did the dishes.... :)

In my work I have come across a lot of people who don't get what many other people call common sense. Think about what underlying knowledge or skill that leads you to the conclusion that not paying attention as you push a stroller is more important than a text. Most of us would say we value the life of our kids. But think…

I always use diced tomatos instead of paste, just cook them down pretty good, I also always add carrots, celery, onion, red and green peppers, sometimes lentils, zuchini, or whatever produce is about to go bad.......

Quinoa about doubles in volume when you cook it, if it is 250 cal for 1/4 a cup dry, one cup cooked would be 500. one cupe dry would be 1000, and make two cups cooked. 500 per cup seems realistic with the stuff they add.

First of all, you look great and are very inspiring, I have a stupid question tho, how do you drink that much water and not pee every twenty minutes, I try sometimes to do the recommended amounts at work but I got a few funny looks at a recent meeting where I had to excuse myself a few times, and ppl occasionally ask if I…

If not legally complicit than morally so, and yes I reported them, and lost my job there as a result, it was dumb because they only required handwritten labels on prepared food, i.e. food that was ready to be served, so the labels were up to standard when they had the surprise inspection. And when I reported to Subway I…

edited cuz I posted twice for some reason

you bet I did! the inspector came and found the labels all in order nothing to be done..... plus the owners knew it was me as I had been the only one who seemed to ask and I threw things away when they expired... all of the sudden they didn't have any hours available for me to work. Not worth the fight, it was a 'I am…

Every so often I fill up my gym shoes, or any shoes I occasionally wear without socks, with baking soda, like I get the 10lb bag from costco and literally fill them up to the ankle and leave it over night. then shake it out and vacuum in the morning. seems to help.

Yeah I used to work there too, gross. Like the chicken is 'chicken product' not actual pieces of chicken and at our store everything was constantly expired, just with new labels.

It obviously varies between person to person, it just seems that most of us had friends/family that were clueless as to how we felt, how we would react or what we needed. :P

Me too, I was painfully aware of every pound and size gained. It embarrassed me deeply when someone pointed it out, I had health issues that contributed to it and didn't want to explain, and when I did try to explain, I felt like I was apologizing for getting bigger. The comments felt like pressure to me, like I wasn't…

Good point, although too much soma can kill you too... but in the meantime no one will question what they are told to eat or do.

You are free to decide what to do with the resources you have. That is a huge amount of freedom, both to have moderate resources and to decide how to use them. People forget that freedom is not synonomous with entitlement.

Thats a slippery slope, I don't want the government making my personal and health decisions for me. Should the government do all it can to ensure that people have the access to healthcare and healthy lifestyle options? of course, but me and my doctor should be the ones involved in my personal descisions.

Grownups should be free to make their own decisions about their food, I want to eat healthy, but not because I am taxed into it, that's demeaning and disempowering.
