And you just disappeared in a puff of logic!

First off, congrats on the first 4 days! It's rough to detox from sugar. :) Secondly, when I read your note I saw that you learned something. It was way too sweet and now you don't feel too well. That's a huge step in learning that sugar is not your friend. So I call this a win!

I actually find FB to be a fabulous way to keep up with the day to day of people you might not otherwise. I'm a single mom, with a full time job in IT (which means that 40 hours is often a dream). And my friends have their own lives and are busy as well. Finding the time to keep up with the little things in my friends'…

I lost 40 last winter, and then took the summer off. I was strict about maintaining my weight, and have just started back (a couple of weeks ago). I'm well on track again (4 lbs already), and am very happy with how it worked out. It's important to learn to maintain your weight as well, so I used that as an excuse to relax…

not having personal responsibility and trying to control my life.

You should be proud of yourself! Congratulations on a major milestone!

You want non-processed meats? Get 'em directly from your local farm. I live in a major metropolitan area, and I have the choice of 3 farms selling grass fed/pastured meats within an hour's drive.

THis! I will never own another HTC in my life! Nothing but hassles.

Do you really believe you're eating balanced meals? I see a lot of meals light on the veggies. Also, are you sure you're measuring right?

Congrats!

Great! Now don't forget to go. ;)

My 13 yo eats everything in sight too... I just feed him tons of veggies with his dinner, and tell me he can have more of whatever he wants when he finishes all of his first round. My advice is keep your fingers and toes away from the machinery while in operation! :laugh:

This is how I handled my son. "I'll be happy to talk to you when you're capable of responding in a normal tone." And walk away.

If you're not afraid of cooking: www.thefoodee.com has great recipes! Nuts are a good snack, but not every day. I also do almond butter with berries sometimes. If you have access to a fridge, try boiled eggs. It's hard to get things that have more protein/fat to keep you full, since the current mainstream eating is very…

How to calculate protein requirements based on lean body mass: Instructions 1 Take body measurements. You will need your height in inches and your weight in pounds. You will also need your neck (smallest point), waist (smallest circumference for women, at navel for men) and hip (widest point) measurements. 2 Use the body…

I'm sorry, honey, but it's a lot of hard work. What is it that's keeping you from believing in yourself? What are the things that you *know* to be great about you? Don't try to convince yourself that you're something you really believe you aren't. We know when we're lying to ourselves, and it has the opposite effect... we…

Minus the drinking, this is me (well add a few years too)... And yeah, I've struggled with this question. I finally came to realize that while we love people for *who* they are, we start talking to them for *what* that are. And, for all the guys that say they don't want a "high-maintenance" girl, there are a very small…

Who said you were ugly?

Definitely go to the doctor for a checkup. Have your CRP tested as well (C-reactive protein). It's a measure of systemic swelling, and will allow those icky LDL particles to adhere and create blockages. The other thing I can tell you is to do your own research. Your doctor is a resource for finding out where you are now,…

"And you'd be attractive if you weren't such an *kitten*," is my favorite response.

hehehe, I waited 20 years to get mine. I've had it about 5 now, and I still love it. It's very meaningful to me, and in a spot that can be either covered or exposed, depending on what I want and the venue.

Absolutely! I was a sugar-holic and hated veggies, and now I crave veggies! When I look at a slice of chocolate mousse cake (yum! right?), all I can think is, "oh, that would be so gross..." And on those days when I don't agree that it would be gross, and I get it anyway, it is gross after the first bite. Kefir and…

You look fabu! :flowerforyou:

What's your eating style/plan? It would probably make sense to hook up with someone who does a similar style. Regardless, best of luck to you! D

what chubswonky said too. :)

have you tried looking up tapioca and a smoothie separately? It'll get you in the ballpark.
