Actually, go back and re-read, there was at least one reply I saw who was from a "newbie" thanking OP for the post. If one person is educated and assisted by a post then it is legitimate to have posted it. Plz stop trying to shame OP for writing a post that other people have posted... gasp, shock, it's a public forum where…

Because heaven forbid people try to educate or help other people with their frustrations instead of ignoring their naive cries for help... *eyeroll*

Not giving up completely when I do slip up. I just have to accept that I'm human and that I make mistakes, but instead of beating myself up and caving for the rest of the day / week / month, I come back stronger instead. :smile:

I have to agree with these comments -- as awful as it is, he was probably just an idiot littering, not attacking you. It's definitely a rattling experience though, and you might want to consider a different walking route... just saying... but this is one of those instances in life where you be thankful for the fact that it…

You never had drama growing up? Must be nice... :tongue: Haha, but I agree. There is far too much silly drama at my workplace currently, hence the "pick your battles" method and I just try to stay out of it for the most part... though I do have a nasty tendency to gossip. I can't keep a secret for the life of me... :X

It's not really just "people pleasing", if you have a crappy boss or co-worker you can't exactly just b!tch them out whenever you feel like it. There are certain situations in life where it is prudent to not be 100% "real"

I grew up obsessing over what people thought about me, and it continued up through college (because let's be real, going away to a university is extremely similar to high school) But a few years ago I finally stopped giving a *kitten*. I'm pretty darn real, I say what I think, I share real things about my life, and I'm not…

It's one thing to instill your religious beliefs on a child (I was brought up going to church) -- it is quite another to put your child's life in the hands of your God, especially when that child doesn't even have a say or understand what is happening. This was painful for me to read, too. Then again I never really…

On the contrary-- horrible as it is I think things like this SHOULD be brought to light every time they happen (and they do happen more than we would like to think about).

Me too. I LOVE my red, red lipstick from M.A.C. :heart:

I have a love/hate relationship with makeup. I find it's very fun to put on -- but horrible to wash off / correct if I make a mistake (which I often do), plus it never wears well all day so I find myself wiping off lipstick or eyeshadow in the bathroom or in the car after a few hours of use. I also generally dislike the…

Awww, that's sweet. And I hope you feel better soon! I was running late getting out of work today, and knew I wouldn't have time to make a lunch for myself for school. So I called my boyfriend and asked if he could please make my salad for me, and he did... he even cut up the strawberries. :smile:

^This, except body fat % instead of BMI. (They're similar but not quite the same) All I'm really concerned with in the end is being healthy and happy with myself!

My goal is currently set for 160-165 (I don't want to stress over a few pounds of weight fluctuation), but seeing as I haven't been at that weight since elementary school, I'm not really sure what it'll look like on me now. Maybe, if I lift heavy enough, 175 or even 180 will feel right for me. Maybe I'll get down to 155 or…

mmmmmm yes I want you inside me, water

Smart-alecks aside, really it doesn't matter. The only tip I have heard insofar as "monitoring" your water intake that I abide by is that if you drink more than 8 oz at a time, it will pretty much go straight through you-- so try to only drink 1 cup at a time, instead of chugging. You'll feel more hydrated taking a few…

I walk a lot (not on a treadmill, just outside on flat sidewalks), but I go up and down stairs a lot too, so I'm hoping that cancels it out :P

And yet you're here, still, instead of applying for another job... lol

What's that you say? You had a job where you could use the internet, and you chose to d!ck around here instead of doing what you were actually being paid to do? Cry me a river, the only time I get to use a computer at work is to scan an item and find out its location and ordering history, and I don't even get to sit down…

Beating the dead horse again, are we? Why are you so offended by the notion that some people don't want to eat EVERY food available on this planet? What about a diet that someone chooses specifically for themselves (that may be based off of a diet such as paleo/primal or "clean" eating but with personal tweaks and…

Neat! Good luck with it, I am horrible at growing things...

I have NEVER been able to run a mile non-stop... I was always the last to finish in gym class :( but you'll get there soon!

Oof, that is rough! I would never work another overnight job as long as I live, it was hell.

Good for you lol! And that chicken dish sounds yummy despite the brussel sprouts...

Haha! If I were able to, I would give you a high five.

Thanks for the replies! I just like to get all the perspectives when it comes to health, because new things are being discovered and tried every day and some of them work. I never thought of using coconut oil for a lip balm, haha.

I'm about halfway myself -- at my highest weight in January of 2009 I was nearly 300 lbs, now I'm down to 236, but still have about 75 lbs to go. Feel free to add me!

It was definitely worth coming to this thread for this gif. Oh, the cuteness... :heart:

If you don't understand more than half of the ingredients list... it's the bad kind of "processed" to me :tongue:
