Wouldn't these people get their panties in a bunch if you replied "you're too fat" or "you had better lose weight"?? Not that the above is an appropriate response, BUT I'm trying to make a point. It's actually none of their beeswax. Simply smile and say something like "thanks for noticing".

I tried it. Weirdly, it made things taste like raspberries to me, which I truly hate. Maybe that is the "neuro-science". It makes you think your food will taste nasty, so you stop eating it? For me, I just stopped using Sensa. Waste of $$.

This is excellent advice. I am older than most of you and my body doesn't stretch the same as it used to. My Sensei has instructed me to imagine a long table, pick your knee up to your chest, try to point your kicking hip to the floor and "swipe" imaginary stuff off of the table. (This creates the pivot others talk about).…

First of all, while pregnant, you should not be "dieting". You are responsible for consuming nutrients that are working to build a human. I was blessed with an obstetrician who was way ahead of his time and had a holistic mindset. His advice to me at our first consultation about food was simply this: "If it has no…

I would change just a few things: I wish I had/could: 1. Finished college (for I only quit to piss my dad off). 2. Realized much sooner that my dad truly loved me and spent time with him; he has been gone 4 years now and I miss him deeply. 3. Lose the stubborn streak at an earlier age. It would have made my life much…

What is PCOS? :embarassed:

I thought my husband was doing the same thing. It turns out that he just didn't like the new recipes I was making. He liked the pizza, fried food and lack of veggies that was on the "before" menu. So, I cook for ME, and I cook for HIM. We eat out occasionally and I make sure it is at a restaurant that will work with my…

Dear OP: I don't know how long you've been married, but it sounds as though it has been under 10 years. Why do I guess this? Well, after being married for 30+ years, you learn that the best of marriages happened because each partner learned to ignore all the dumb @$$ comments or attitudes or remarks made over the years. I…

Since I do not consume alcohol (personal choice & not judging), Dad's Old Fashioned Root Beer. LOL.

Agreed. The only drug tests that were ever questionable were when he was in the middle of treatment for testicular cancer. He has passed all of the other tests. Not fighting doesn't automatically equal guilt. In my mind it equals exhaustion and frustration. Speculate all you want. The man has turned the page and doesn't…

AMEN SISTER! My husband has emphysema. While you are worried about if your husband will be at a weight that is "attractive" to you, I am worried that my husband is at a HEALTHY weight. He lost 60 lbs in 3 months and was practically a skeleton. Weight should not be the thing that attracts you to him anyhow. Love him and…

I would like to point out that YOU are the one who decided to become fit. He went along with it, and is only 10 lbs away from this supposed magic goal weight that will make him the Sex Machine you want. Ten pounds could not possibly make him an obese flabby mess of a man. The thing I think you've forgotten is that the most…

I'm laughing as I read this.... Heck, I don't even talk to my husband that long IN PERSON. What ARE they talking about? Sheesh.

This. ETA: she LETS you go to places & LETS you D&D? Is she the mommy? Hmmmm.

THIS is the best advice so far. I have children and have a VERY different life than what I would have had without them. I never have any extra money. I can never find my scissors. I am forever picking up after everyone, worrying myself silly and generally being a mom. HOWEVER, there is NOTHING like your child looking up at…

hahahaha Just wait until you have kids. NONE of your glasses and dishes will match since they will all get broken. LOL

OMG ROFL this is funnnnnneeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee eta: they didn't try to charge you extra for the fly did they?

I love my Enell. I have always been "busty" and never liked to run because it hurt. I put my size 3 on and while it isn't going to win any fashion contest (so what), it is the most comfortable secure bra I've ever owned. I paid $55 for mine, but sometimes they run specials on them. Highly recommended.

I ♥ this! She looks AMAZING! My mom is going to be 75 next month, and I would never have guessed this woman is the same age. WOW! Thanks for sharing, this is truly motivating!

I would invest in a "spy cam" that could record video and audio, and I would set him up. I would simply turn on the recording device and listen. Then I would report him to his boss, Human Resources and the local news channel. A bit of publicity would force your employer to do something immediately. But then, I'm kind of a…

I think you look good! Keep going to attain your goal! :happy:

How long have you been on graveyards? If you think about it, you still have the same 24 hours everyone else has, you just work at a different time. Sleep for 8+ hours & get up an hour or so before you have to work..... eat your "breakfast" (around 9:00 p.m. guessing you work 11:00-7:00.). Go to work for an 8-12 hour shift…

LOL, I've read so many today I can't find it now. If I do, I'll get back to you. Thanks for your positive comments. Add me as a friend if you like!

While I'm no expert as I'm just beginning my journey, I peeked at your diary. The first day I looked at you had lots of leftover calories. The second day you didn't drink (or log) water. If everything I've been reading on this website holds true you should 1) eat all your calories, and 2) DRINK LOADS OF WATER. Are you…

I am a parent of a college student. I admit that I have "pushed" food at my daughter, even when she said she was watching what she eats. I think my reasons were : 1. I love her and want to be sure she eats (since I don't know if she can afford much when she is away at school), 2. I love her and want to spoil her with…

I've played the flute since 6th grade (I'm 53) and am learning how to play the bagpipes. Yep, I'm Scottish. ☺

Agreed. I work for a GM dealer. 98% of the parts on our products are produced OUTSIDE of the United States. I also worked for a Toyota/Subaru dealer. ALL of their parts are manufactured in the US AND they are ALL assembled in the US. I hear arguments like "yeah, well all the money goes to Japan". Um, so where do you think…

For some reason THIS really makes me think. Thank you. Seriously, THANK you. :-)

Alien (was NOTHING like he said, so Liar Liar fits too). Oh, and The Blob. (dude wouldn't hold a job).

Our Sensei tells a story about the founding father of our style. He says that he only had ONE kata, and did it over and over until he died. He believed that it's more effective to learn and master one kata really well than to learn many kata but not know any of it's bunkai for specific self defense situations. It is very…
