I am an autism and behavior consultant - if you want to message me

How fortunate for you. Not only did you get rid of a horrible man, you get to reassess what you want in life and start making healthy changes for YOU, and not for some A-Hole who would have found some other excuse to leave you even if you were skinny. And it only cost you being overweight - which is something you can fix.…

I do not fdall into the "you are not eating enough" mindset. You are probably either eating the wrong things, or not doing the right exercise to get you the results you want. I once gained weight instead of losing because I was told I wasn't eating enough. Turns out I was eating just fine - just all the wrong things! OK…

OMG I would pass out in the car if I only had that for breakfast!!!!

I am a vegetarian - formerly a vegan - I do not eat eggs, but I do eat dairy now, so I do not consider myself vegan although 90% of what I eat would still fall in that category I always go over on my protein - lol - but I work out a lot and feel I need it - if you would like to friend me to see my food log, please feel…

Kashi Autumn Wheat cereal with rice milk. My son has been eating it since he was 2.5 - he loves it too!

Not only do I go over, but I go WAAAAAAYYYYY the hell over. LOL - and seriously, it's not like I am eating swedish fish, chocolate, and twinkies - it is eye opening to see how much sugar lurks in everything we eat. Eye opening, but I am not gonna do anything about it. Seriously.... I do enough!!!!

You must incorporate strength training - that is the only thing that does it for me. Strength training with heavy weights - work to failure - at least 3 sets of 8-10 reps

I can count on 1 hand the amount of times I eat pasta in a YEAR. Pasta does not agree with me and is detrimental to my weight and fitness goals. People assume as a former vegan (and now a vegetraian) that I eat a lot of pasta, and I practically eat NONE.

1. Clif Builder bars 2. Taste Nirvana coconut water 3. Tamari almonds 4. pink or white grapefruit 5. bananas 6. Small dark chocolate squares (I eat 1 or 2 a day if I am craving them - but I go days without them) 7. Fage yogurt OR pineapple 1% cottage cheese 8. Guava Godess Synergy Kombucha 9. Smoothies with raw vegan…

If running is a food, then that. Or spinning. Or some nice delicious strength training. Other than that, nothing else speeds up your metabolism. Wouldn't it be awesome if chocolate could do it for us? All kidding aside, there is some research that drinking ice water speeds up your metabolism slightly to digest the cold…

I love kefir. I used to drink a soy kefir but I think they stopped making it.

For many of the reasons mentioned above, no. I think it is a nice excuse for us to eat more, LOL. It comes down to this - the more calories burned, the more weight you lose. The effects people usually see is NOT that they messed up their metabolism, but they have put themselves on a diet they could never maintain in the…

That's a good question.... Honestly, I don't even count it in my exercise. I just consider it a freebie... Lol

Cliff Builder Mint Chocolate!!!

I am no longer vegan after 15 yrs as I eat dairy now, but I still am vegetarian.... You can friend me!!!

I always have Kashi Autumn Wheat cereal with rice milk!

I definitely see a difference in your body!

Just lay in bed and cry for a while. Who said you have to cope right now? Don't! Drugs and alcohol won't bring your cat back, and it won't do anything but numb the grief you are supposed to be feeling. So go feel it. Cry it out. Do what you need to do! Don't destroy the memories by damaging yourself. That won't do anything…

It's the big bad Americans...... Ooooohhhhhh.......

That is not by nature. That is definitely "nurture"

I am guessing very few parked themselves on the couch fir the night with a pint of Ben and Jerrys and/or family size bag of potato chips.....

One can overeat no matt what food group is being restricted! :laugh:

I always go over my protein! Lol.... Tofurkey slices Morningstar chikn nuggets Quinoa Protein bars Protein shakes I never have a problem with protein!!!!

Where is the research in that? I can't understand how that's possible.....

Oh man, I ate sooo much chocolate during the Xmas break!!!!

What are you eating? Potato chips are vegetarian.... I am vegetarian, and was vegan for over 15 yrs.... I recently started eating dairy so I don't really say I am vegan anymore, although I mostly still eat that way.... I don't eat pasta... Maybe once a month at a restaurant. I live on quinoa, veggies, fruit, tofurkey…

I do not make a point of eating them. I either eat them if I am hungry, or need them to fuel my day, or leave them if I don't feel I need them.

I took great liberties with this quote in mind! Honestly - I treated myself during Xmas break - didn't go insane, but allowed myself things I would normally stay away from other times of year. I don't weigh myself. I may have gained a pound or two, but it won't stay on!
