"I will make you love me"
This phrase often comes up in popular culture (TV programmes, movies, etc). Usually uttered by a delusional woman to a man who has little/no interest (or may have done in the past but has moved on). I have never come across this in the real world and wonder if such people really exist. To think that you can get someone to…

Eating my emotions
Currently I am not eating right as my head is not in the right place and the only way I can cope with it is to eat my emotions. I now snack endlessly at night to deal with my general anxiety and insomnia - this is related to insecurities about my performance at work (very poor at the moment) and life (I am thirty years…

knee pain when running, depressing
I have a love-hate relationship with running, and I recently moved towards the 'love' phase. I've been running consistently for about 3 years now and never suffered any injuries before. I'm 30 years old, female and fairly physically active (about 7-10 hours a week of physical activity in addition to all the running around…

Too old, too tired and too blind
Just like Al Pacino in scent of a woman. Okay maybe not the last one... A month to the big 3-0 and holed up in bed watching TV on my laptop, waiting for a 'decent time' to fall asleep. Time to buy a zimmerframe I think.

I JUST have to rant
Arrggghhhh!!! Siblings (and mothers). Never thought I'd be ranting about 'personal' problems on this forum, but hear me out. My sister is getting married in just over a month. About three months ago without checking with me or getting my consent she decided that she had found the 'perfect' bridesmaids dresses for my…

Day off work and fluey
Just felt like moaning. Sod's law. Been working a lot of hours recently and was getting a bit burnt out. Had some random leave days left to take so I'm off work today. Woke up with raging headache, sore throat, total body pains, bad temper and major cereal cravings! So been ranting in the forums and making my way through…

Failing at maintenance
It seems that every few months I hit a mental block with my diet, start eating all kinds of rubbish, panic as the scale shoots up and struggle to find my self-control. However, this time I have been in a 'funk' for a least a month. Ever since I transitioned into maintenance mode I've found myself eating very badly (eating…

strength training and overeating
Hi everyone, I hate to keep asking stupid questions on here, but this keeps bugging me and I can't make any satisfactory resolutions in my mind. Stats: Female, 29, 5'9 and at last weigh-in a month ago I was 70.7kg (155 pounds). I probably weigh a bit more now but too scared to check! I use the MFP method, eating back…

Weight lifting turning me into a T-Rex
What it says in the title... I only got into lifting fairly recently thanks to its popularity on these boards, but in the last two weeks I've begun to really enjoy it and to 'lift heavy' (nowhere near as some of the ladies here, but certainly a big jump compared with Pump). HOWEVERR, for the last couple of days I've turned…

About to give up
I wrote a similar post a few days ago but got no responses. I'm female, 5'9 with a goal weight of 150 lb. Currently I weigh probably 155-160 (haven't weighed myself over the last week). I''ve been stuck here for over a year! I have reached my goal before but found it difficult to maintain. Also, I began to feel that it…

Should I quit trying to lose weight?
So...a bit about myself. I live in the UK. I'm female, 5'9 and currently weigh 155-160 lbs (my weight fluctuates several pounds everyday). Until about three years ago I never cared about my weight/diet, ate what I wanted, was reasonably active and maintained a weight of about 165 lbs. (I was athletic as a teenager and I…

Very sore muscles
I have been lurking on these forums for some months - this is my first post! I am a bit of a gym fanatic and a greedy cow, so I tend to exercise to eat. I only joined MFP about a month ago. I live in the UK. I am 175cm (5'9) and currently weigh 72kg (158lbs I think). When I first started this crazy fitness/weight loss…
