You
Yes you, standing there, unsure of yourself. "Me? What did I do?" You did absolutely nothing today. Why? "Because I'm depressed. I have so much weight to lose, and I just don't see the results." So you're going to give up, not make an effort just because you're depressed? "Why not? It's not like anyone really cares anyway.…

The reason you fail at losing weight
Disclaimer: I am not a doctor (yet). Anything I may state in here is merely suggestion, and should be discussed with your personal doctor. With that disclaimer out of the way, let's talk about why you are failing at losing weight. I bring this up because I've seen posts on here saying, "I'm doing this and that, but I'm not…

I was curious…

A letter to you: Daily reminder
Dear Friend, Enemy, Stranger: Today, I logged into MFP only to find that you were having a tough time. Today just wasn't your day, and you felt the world crushing down on you as you contemplated weight loss suicide. You were either stressed out from work, school, home, depressed for your own personal reasons, or just felt…

So, why not?
I suppose it's time I introduce myself, though I'm often a shy, awkward person at times. I come here because a friend of mine came here. I've always toyed with the thought of losing weight, but never put much interest in it. A large part of that comes from the lack of support. Sure, I'd get family members who would say,…

Delicious egg recipe, no seasoning needed
I'm not sure if this has been posted before, using search for "eggs" returned quite a number of pages that I wasn't really going to go through. I decided, however, to post it just in case. The only thing you'll need for this delicious meal (at least, I think it's delicious) is eggs, however many you like, and heat. I got…
