Stress causes inflammation in your body. It's a flight or fight response thing. I don't know how this relates to weight gain/loss (I tend to eat less when I'm super stressed). It may just be how your cope with it. You need to figure out how to deal with stress. It's very bad for your immune system. Yoga, acupuncture,…

Oh and Traditional Medicinals Nighty Night when I need some help sleeping

Most of my teas have some sort of alleged herbal medicinal value having to do with my cancer treatment. I think they are good in general though. Tazo Awake - Black tea that has caffeine. Calms my anxiety at work too. Tazo Passion - I don't think it has any health benefits. It's just yummy. Traditional Medicinals Ginger Aid…

I have never really been heavy enough to get teased (at least not to my face), but when I was a "tween" and a young teenager I was VERY skinny. It was just how I was naturally. I got called anorexic constantly. When I went through puberty and gained some weight, that went away. I think people make fun of others either to…

That is a pretty old way of thinking about lifting for women. I have had at least three people say the same thing to me. Ignore it.

Do men care about thigh gap or is another thing women started to obsess about for no reason? I will never have a thigh gap and I could not care less.

It depends on what they prefer them for. A guy for just a roll in the hay - 6-pack for sure. However, a nice and funny guy with a belly definitely wins over the opposite with a 6-pack. Women like men that make them laugh.

Steroids always make me gain weight too. Hang in there!

You look great! You have such a pretty face. Good job!

Also, knock off the defeatist attitude. If you keep saying it will always be your downfall, then it will be. You have to psych yourself up! You can do it!

You have to stop thinking of it as a diet. Don't deprive yourself. That will just make you binge when you can't take it anymore.You can eat what you want, but you have to budget for it. I'm not great about weighing things (especially meat and vegetables), but I use a lot of measuring cups and spoons and prepackaged…

The weight fell off of me in the first three weeks, now it's much slower going. That's frustrating.

I have an appointment with a trainer tonight to show me around the free weight section. I'm still nervous though. This post has helped me though.

Part of it may be a caffeine addiction if you are drinking Mountain Dew. Drink a cup of coffee with milk and no sugar. Then drink sparkling water with some flavor in it the rest of the day. I bet that will take the edge off. It took me a while to get used to coffee without sugar, but now any sugar in my coffee makes me…

I'll appeal to your vanity now/. It makes you look prematurely old. http://io9.com/guess-which-of-these-identical-twins-is-the-smoker-1458850545

Sorry to be crass, but just weigh that cigarette vs. chemotherapy/radiation/surgery. I've never smoked, but I can tell you from personal experience (well not the radiation, I have never had that) that all of those things suck big time. I'm sure you have people that love you that want you around for a long time. Your lungs…

I think how your clothes fit and how you feel is more important than the number on the scale, but that's just me.

It's on the ticker thing in your profile. I was reading some of your old posts. You should really talk to someone about your food obsessions. I'm definitely not a doctor, but it sounds like you may be teetering close to eating disorder land. You really don't need to cut your calories so severely.

I did lose some weight when I started Wellbutrin, but the appetite suppression wore off after a while. Be very very careful with Wellbutrin. It can cause seizures. I had a seizure about a year and a half ago after being on Wellbutrin for many months. The doctors were pretty sure the Wellbutrin caused it because I had no…

That's a pretty creepy request

I usually wear a thong or the "cheekies" that victoria's secret sells. The cheekies lay flat, so you really don't see line under the yoga pants I wear to the gym. Maybe you should try something like that. I think they are more comfortable and cuter on my butt than a thong too.

The jeans I bought in the beginning of July (and were a little tight to start) are very saggy on my butt. It's not cute, but it's a good problem to have!

I think people thinking for themselves would solve a lot of issues in the world :)

Fair enough

I'm having a hard time understanding what is going on. Is English not your first language? I'm not trying to be rude. I'm just curious.

Maybe people using this site wouldn't think that, but the average consumer might. Lots of things are deemed by public opinion as "healthy" without actually being so. It's like the label "natural" on products. Cyanide can be "natural" (for example in peach pits) but it still isn't good for you. Marketing is powerful stuff…

Also, anything I have ever eaten that was gluten free has been gross.
