  • I just did this yesterday, and it was really tasty! I have Kashi GOLEAN Crisp Cinnamon Crumble cereal - which is really yummy by itself - but I take 1/2 cup of that and 1/4 cup of All-Bran, crush up the All-Bran really good and mix them together. Add 1/2 cup of Bolthouse Farms Protein Plus Vanilla Bean, 1/4 cup skim milk,…
  • This is a recipe I found online and tweaked a little bit as I learned, as well as using tips my aunt gave me. I LOVE a good curry, ever since I was a kid and my aunt made it for me when she came to visit from England. Anyways, this recipe is pretty time-consuming but fairly easy and so delicious! I also like the fact that…
  • I was kind of irritated at first when I saw this post, because it was right after posting my own thread for support / advice... but... yeah, you're completely right. I have known for a long, long time that the only one I can count on to do this is me. If other people I care about want to cheer me on or offer kind words,…
  • American Psycho Patrick Bateman: "There is an idea of a Patrick Bateman; some kind of abstraction. But there is no real me: only an entity, something illusory. And though I can hide my cold gaze, and you can shake my hand and feel flesh gripping yours and maybe you can even sense our lifestyles are probably comparable... I…
  • I don't know how it's hypocritical then. Also, nicotine is a stimulant. Typically, stimulants don't reduce stress, they add to it. Why are people trying to promote smoking something that is KNOWN to cause cancer? I mean, really? It was one thing when we didn't know better, but now we do. Time to change.
  • Marijuana isn't deadly, doesn't cause cancer, and actually has health benefits... soooo...
  • The other day my husband was smoking outside of a playground, where our son was playing at the time, and a couple with their child was walking out of the playground entrance. My husband, being polite, moved off the walkway and out into the grassy area. The man walking by nodded to my husband and thanked him very kindly for…
  • OP, might I suggest resistance bands? I don't have access to a gym currently, nor the money to buy a set of weights, but I do have a set of resistance bands. They cost between 10-20$ at Walmart and are much easier to start out with if you're intimidated by lifting free weights in public. They're compact and you can use…
  • Milano cookies, too.
  • Well... until cigarettes and other tobacco smoking products are no longer sold / illegal, yeah, it should be allowed in designated public places...
  • Nutter Butters with chocolate milk... and pretty much all cheese.
  • You don't have to be a bodybuilder or have huge muscles to reap the benefits of being strong. Lifting weights has so many health benefits, I don't know why anyone wouldn't give it a go. It's definitely worth it, that's not even a question. Stronger muscles, stronger bones, joints, and mind. You will gain confidence, burn…
  • Anything from Max & Erma's. :3
  • If you can make room for it in your daily calories, just have it if it's extremely hard to give up. Me, personally, I cut it out because it made losing weight easier for me, and it only took about a month of not drinking it to become disgusted by the taste of any soda. It frees up a lot of calories (at least if you don't…
  • I go to Taco Bell when I want to *kitten* rocket fuel.
  • I have a bit on my thighs and I hate it - but I did notice some improvement after doing a strength training routine for several months. Mind you, the improvement was minimal, but I take what I can get. Good luck to you.
  • Of course it's okay. Is it ideal? No, but you are working on it. This isn't going to be something you can fix overnight or even in a month, you're going to have work on this every day for a long time, possibly for the rest of your life. I think your biggest concern, for the here and now, should mostly be getting enough…
  • If you're trying to gain, why are you worried about over-eating? Also, worrying about the kinds of foods you're eating probably isn't the best thing for someone with an ED to do, when trying to gain, at least. I wouldn't recommend MFP to anyone recovering from AN or bulimia, personally. But this site does have resources…
  • Mmm, young Anthony Perkins.
  • I like you. (Even though I'm sure OP was being facetious with most of that stuff.) I like this post, especially your last 3 sentences.
  • You crack me up... sending a friend request! :drinker:
  • Don't do it. Not worth it. I drank wine and tried to work out once, was awful. I thought I was doing great for about 10 seconds, then everything was super hard and I wanted to puke, got a headache, and passed out in bed.
  • Counting calories is absolutely a solution to the problem, and also allows people like me to continue eating foods they enjoy, such as ice cream, burgers, fries, and cookies. If I couldn't count calories for some reason, I'd still be able to reasonably assess what I eat, and know if I was eating too much within a certain…
  • Hormones may make people WANT to eat more, but they can't force people to eat more. Eating more than you burn is what makes people gain weight, period. WHY they choose to eat more has nothing to do with that equation. No one is arguing that hormones can make people hungry - at least, I'm not. I'm well aware of that.
  • I don't think you understand what overeat means. Also, assume I've never binged in my life if you want. But, I know that if I did ever binge, it was my choice to do so.
  • OMG I get it now! I didn't CHOOSE to shovel second and third helpings into my mouth every day until I could barely get up the stairs without losing my breath, SUGAR made me do it!
