Question for married men with kids
What's the relationship with your daughters about? How is your love different for daughters than sons? What about your wife? (Noticed a thread here where a married man listed his daughter as his favorite person).

NSV - huge for me
I was once so large I didn't know what size I was - somewhere between 2x and 3x. I wore long skirts that stretched with my huge pregnant body. I'd take my kids to the park, and people would ask me if they were my grandchildren. I got this constantly, and it made me sad and sometimes angry. I thought it was the clothes, but…

Food rules for your kids?
This morning my 3yr old tried to take the peanut butter in her room. She likes to eat pb out of the jar but she isn't allowed. Today, I told her why: "You have to watch what you do - if you eat pb out the jar 2 times, you might do it 3 times and if you do it enough, it will become a habit, where you do it without thinking.…

Silly NSV
So, I'm sitting on the couch getting some rest after the morning rush of taking care of little kids and cleaning up. I start wondering why in the world was I so hungry - it wasn't lunchtime yet. I wonder and wonder and realize, oh yeah, I forgot to eat. So I haul out breakfast - some cottage cheese, toast, green tea,…

Beauty treatments
Anybody doing other stuff besides food and exercise? How is it working so far? I take vitamin e, c, d, cod liver oil and aspirin. Thinking of adding b vitamin. Use a firming lotion on tummy, then wrap for 2-3 hrs with neoprine, sometimes a body shaper over that. Sometimes I use an aloe lotion, Crisco, nutrogena body oil…

Upsetting moment
Ive lost a bit of weight. Yesterday, I fit into a size I haven't seen in more than five years. I was putting on this firming cream on my tummy and thought it did seem tighter. I decided to take a look. I've avoided full length mirrors for years. What I saw was very upsetting. Fat bulges on my upper thighs, belly hanging…

Hurray!
Wearing size 16 jeans! My short term goal was to be in a 14 by the end of August - God is so good, I think I might actually reach that goal! Other victories today: kids ate pb&j with milk, carrot sticks and apple slices (I usually get loud requests for chicken nuggets and ketchup). Picked the first good cucumbers from my…

Reasonable
When I was in college, I took a biology course from a professor involved in the race to map the human genome. He taught me something I rember to this day: the field of science isn't what it used to be. There was a time when science questioned its own assumptions. Although he was a geneticist on the cutting edge of science,…

Help for the night munches
I do pretty well during the day, but find a strong desire to eat right before bed. When I fight this urge I lose weight...but I feel very hungry and irritable when I do. Any suggestions?

HI
Just introducing myself - CJ. I've lost about 40lbs after my last pregnancy, but put back on 14lbs and have been losing the same five lbs for a few months. The good news is I've gone down 3 pants sizes thus far! I've been very thin and fit and I've been very fat. I'd like to find a way to be fit without being obsessed with…

Looking for support
Hi, I'm Cj. Been thin before but had problems with under eating and over exercising. Got tired of obsessing, gained weight, then got pregnant, again and again. During this time I tried various methods to lose weight, but after a few weeks I'd quit, only to try something else a few months later. Last year, I started…
