Running; my wife's cure for a hangover. The first mile hurts like hell :-)

Yikes! A Snickers Bar? Prior planning my friend. I try to avoid any food that has a high glycemic value. Just makes me more hungry. Snickers?

Big food with low calorie. think; baked or sweet potatoe, almonds, rice cakes with applesauce, oatmeal, an apple, or low calorie soup. It doesn't take much to stop the growl. This isn't supposed to be suffering, but a lifestyle change. You gotta fuel the tank.

You are wise beyond your 22 years. Good post!

Hard to tell from one paragraph what is going on with your relationship dynamic; but 1) Is he just being honest, when he tells you that he is not attracted to you? or, 2) Is he ready to "kick you to the curb"? If its #1, he may be insensitive, and delivered the message badly, he gets 0 points for tact. If its #2, your…

I eat at home, and go out for drinks. I'm tired of being disappointed by crappy, expensive restaurants. I live in a touristy area, and there are lots of "nice" places to eat, but the food doesn't match the decor.

McDonalds provides plenty of opportunities that may have never existed for people. They teach teamwork, and responsibilty, which some people have used to further their lives, beyond the Golden Arches. I applaud McDonalds as a good community partner.

Timely topic. I went to Mc'ds twice this year. I had to get the McRib for nostalgia sake. It was damn good. I'm good for another 10 years. It tastes better than guinea pig, by a long shot.

Too much protein, is like having too much money.

Heat? My house is almost 8 years old, and I'm not sure if the heat even works. I Love Florida.

Talk about alcohol abuse!

Bad advice. Having an erection doesn't turn on desire. Testosterone works the best.

TESTOSTERONE!!! Have him get it checked. Both total, and "free" levels. I was your hubby just three months ago. Since I started therapy it has gone form 2-4 times a month (just because I felt obligated), to 2-4 times every weekend, and a little in between. If your husband has no desire, its not because of you, its because…

The first mile for me is painful. But I know from experience that the endorphins will kick in around the mile mark. Must have some good kicking music also.

I started testosterone about 3 months ago, and gained 7lbs the two weeks. My Doctor confirmed that it was all muscle mass. Then the rationalizations began, and I justified that it must be the reason that I gained 20lbs since. Now I am on a quest to lose it all, and then some. I'm not saying any of this pertains to you. It…

"The journey of a thousand miles, begins with a single step"

True; but if you hold unto these feelings through 50 something pounds of weight loss, (and who knows how many years before that), you are now making a CHOICE. As feeling beings we all feel emotion, the question is; what do we do with it? I would submit that the OP is being unfair to herself, and being hurtful to Mom in the…

Yikes! Nice letter to keep tucked in your dresser drawer; for yourself. Nobody can make you "feel" like a heifer, or sad, angry,guilty, or any other emotion. You CHOOSE to feel, how you feel. Is it your Mom's fault how you feel? If you don't want stuff passed to your siblings; don't tell your Mom. You are upset because…

I went from 230 lbs. to 173 lbs. over one year. I lifted pretty hard through it all, just to slow the muscle loss, and look tone. I def lost a good amount of muscle. I started testosterone shots about two months ago, and upped my calorie count to neutral. I gained 18 lbs of muscle in 7 weeks. If you don't believe this I…

The thing that comes from a very racist place, is looking at everything in life through a racial prism. Can't we just be people having a conversation? I think so. Obviously you don't.

I bought the ugliest pair of K-Swiss running shoes. They rock! But man are they hideous.

Could care less. NO. It's, I COULDN'T care less! Food- Guinea Pig, with fried beef thyroid. Yummy!

1972 Buick Centurion Convertible. Bright red, with a white top, and white leather interior. Bittersweet getting rid of it, because I doubled my money. But that car was front row at the valet everytime. Badass!

^^^^^This^^^^^

Wow. If I had your family I would disown them. And I mean that. I would rather be healthy, and confident with out them; than to be miserable with them. The issue seems to be theirs; not yours. Bye, Bye. I have two older sisters that I have cut out of my life (for worse reasons), and I am happy about that decison everyday.…

People who don't workout, just don't get it. What you do is incomprehensible to them. It would be like a billionaire explaining to me the advantages of NetJets vs. buying. It is a subject that will never ever effect me. Would I really be interested? Honestly, half heartedly. Others would just write him off as some rich…

For me, its a love/hate relationship. I love the feeling of accomplishmnet, and most times even love the run. I really should be doing more weight training, but don't want to give up the ability to average a 8:30 mile. Last April I was thrilled with an 11 minute mile, for one mile. Now a 43 min. 5 mile run is the goal. I…

Foregiveness is a selfish act. Think about it. I have my Phd in foregiveness.

My conscience feels funny, when I'm........ never mind; I can't do it in a public forum......
