My son was gluten,dairy, soy and fructose intolerant for his first two years. My research suggested that part of the increase in allergies is an increase in antibiotics and antibacterial agents in our society. Third world countries don't have the rate of any allergies that we see, and the thought is that it's because their…

No, I'm not pregnant. Yes, I've also gained a few pounds. The handheld scanner things are not accurate. It changed 1.2% in 24 hours between when I started my membership at that gym and when I met with the trainer. I'm doing the best I can given my individual set of challenges. I can't just make the texture/smell issue go…

No. I don't. I'd like to. I'd be perfectly happy with that stomach. I don't want the one in the middle. Fire Rock, my stomach measurement has increased two inches in two weeks.

I don't recall saying I think I'm obese? I don't look the way I'd like to. I've read that to increase muscle, you should shoot for 1 gm of protein for every pound you weigh. Is the best way to achieve the appearance I want not to increase muscle? I recognize that weighing 110 isn't healthy, and I'm not as focused on that…

I just looked at the picture on my phone of my gym training card...According to the handheld scanning thingy at the gym, I'm 18.6% BF. Or 17.4%, since those things aren't accurate and it changed 1.2% in 24 hours. I have never been told that my weight is unhealthy in either direction, except when I was pregnant. In one…

If that "extra" 10% of my carbs is produce, it doesn't make sense to me to eliminate it. Most of my carbs aren't refined sugar or flour-they're whole foods like apples, bananas, oranges, carrots or whole grains. I don't buy white rice-I use quinoa and wild rice. I make whole wheat flax bread, and typically only eat a slice…

Mindness eating combined with two pregnancies. As I've gotten older, my metabolism has slowed but my calorie consumption hasn't. I'm not young enough to sit down with a tub of ice cream and a spoon while I watch trash tv late at night...

My hens get sad when I waste their hard work. If I choose not to eat the yolk, which I have been doing frequently for no reason other than I don't like it, I add it to my dogs' food. I'm not wasting it and it gets my old man dog to eat. Win-win. I don't eat store bought eggs though. The eggs in my food are straight from my…

I won't/can't use fake sugar. Any suggestions?

I feel you. I'm technically at the lowish end of the weight range for my height, and my BF% is "normal". But I'm not toned, and I don't like the way I feel in my clothes. I get tired of people saying "You're so skinny...blah blah blah." Yes, I am height weight proportionate. But I'm not HEALTHY and I'm not toned. Making…

Those of you who are saying OP needs to just get over it are being pretty rude. I also don't eat most veggies, or most fruits. It's not because I don't want to try them. It's a sensory issue, and I only recently realized that's my problem after dealing with my kids' sensory issues. If a food smells the least bit…

I don't think it's rude at all. My older son was gluten, dairy, soy and fructose intolerant for his first few years. I have a severe allergy to olives. If I don't ask questions, my food may have to go back. I'm not going to pick off olives and risk my throat swelling up. I wasn't going to feed my son food that would cause…

Some of us are just messed up enough that we will never be "good enough". In junior high and high school, I weighed 104 lbs and was 5'5". I felt "fat". I've since had two kids and ten years go by. I'm still 5'5", and weigh 115-120, and still feel "fat". When I look in a full length mirror, I only see my "problem areas",…

Ehhh, I disagree. I have friendships with several men. Growing up, most of my friends were male. I just feel more comfortable trusting men. Women can be so catty! One of my closest friends is also my ex-fiance. My husband doesn't feel threatened by him in the least. He has no reason not to trust me, or my ex. There has not…

Mind if I quote that on my fb wall?
