You put your foot down. "No. It's not okay to talk to me like this, I've told you time and time again how it makes me feel and you are showing absolutely no sympathy towards me. I don't care if it's a joke, it makes me feel *kitten* and that's what matters. If you don't give a damn about how I feel, then that says a lot…

I found once I cut table sugar/ corn syrup out of my diet, I started liking fruit again. I just don't think my tastebuds were up for the more delicate sweetness. I eat grapes, apples, oranges, etc.

Obesity isn't a good thing but it's not necessarily deadly. Some people are naturally more overweight/obese, it all depends on where their fat is (ie. less around the belly.) The argument could be that people who are overeating are also generally eating bad foods in larger quantities than a thin person eating the same…

Play with intervals! Even if you aren't going to the gym and don't want to invest in new equipment, intervals are the best way to burn fat. Steady-state cardio doesn't work half as hard for you as intervals do. Basically, the way you work when you go hard for 30 seconds sprints and then rest is so much better, you want to…

Be careful with what MFP and gym machines give you for calories in/out. They are almost never accurate, and if you're eating them back, that can be a big reason to see no results.

Counselling didn't teach me to lose weight. Rather, it taught me to love myself regardless, whether I was skinny, normal, fat. You get in this headspace where you believe that being the right size is the only way to be worthy of any love or respect, and that's *kitten*. I found that when I learned to be okay with myself…

If you're doing everything- everything- that you're supposed to, being accurate with your measurements, not skipping anything or letting anything slide, and nothing's working, I'd talk to a professional nutritionist and a doctor. This could be a symptom of something a little bigger than diet and exercise, and even if it…

If you wait for him, not only will you not progress but you will resent him for it.Tell him you understand how busy he is, and show him your exercise schedule. Tell him he's always welcome to join you, and you go when you want to.

I have wicked low blood pressure, so I find myself constantly craving salt, to the point of licking it off potato chips so I don't have to eat the whole thing (gross, I know.) I'm finding now that I'm trying to stay more hydrated, I'm craving salt less. Getting in those 8 cups of water a day really helps, but definitely…

I don't believe in diets. I believe that people are flexible with diverse needs, some days I will have carbs or not have carbs or have sugar or not have sugar and whatever works. Life is flexible, I need to be too. My "diet" is eating good, non-processed foods wherever possible, sticking to my calorie goals, and making…
