Water retention
Does anyone have any ideas on how I could decrease water retention? I know fluid pushes fluid, but that doesn't seem to be helping. Thanks to being pregnant my feet are ginormous with fluid retention. I even have pitting edema around my shins. I look like I have elephantitis.

Why do I feel guilty? I didn't like how it tasted :( , the frosting was just blaugh to me . I didn't want to hurt their feelings though so I…

What is wrong with me?
What is wrong with me that I keep losing motivation? I'll be good for part of a day and then blow it all at night. No, it is not because I am undereating and my body wants more food, it's more like once I take that extra bite, I end up saying "oh well" and won't stop eating (if that makes sense). Tl;dr. How do you stay…

Kind of a dumb question but will ask it anyway
Can you weight rice after it's cooked by using the dry calories of the same weight? For example say a serving of rice is 50g dry, can you weigh out 50g cooked? Would it make that big a difference since the calories are actually lower per gram if that makes any sense? Trying to find a simpler way to measure rice.

Skin irritation in skin folds
Ever since I had my c section 9 months ago, I've been getting red irritated skin in the skin fold. I have also been getting it in the skin folds by my thighs (although not as often or as bad). Not to sound gross, but when ever I get it, it also smells. I thought it was possibly an infection, but doctor already ruled that…

Food locker?
Does any one else have a cabinet with a lock on it? Sounds weird but that is the only way to keep my significant others from stealing snacks that I purposely bought for myself.

Tonight I had the dumbest conversation with target staff
So my local target sell a select few items that are gluten free, which was a wonderful find for us. It's very limited but we love the selection (isis pizzas, breakfast sandwiches, applegate gluten free chicken fingers etc). So tonight we are there and I grab a whole bunch of udis breakfast sandwiches. I wasn't really…

Need cooler ideas... Again
I had asked this once before, but with the new forum layout on my phone I can't seem to find the old post. Anyway- I work 12 hour shifts in a vehicle (no access to microwave most of the time). I typically bring Greek yogurt, diced chicken, soy milk, cut apples with cut cheese, and/or peanut-chocolate bars with me to work.…

Autoimmune protocol? Elimination diet?
So I have been breaking out in hives and having itchy skin pretty much all day everyday. I am starting to suspect that I developed a new allergy to a certain food, so was going to try some sort of elimination diet to figure out what food (If it is a new allergy) is causing these annoying reactions. I don't really know much…

Some comedic relief
So I thought I would share this because in retrospect its pretty funny. Earlier today I was going to be baking chicken parm in the oven. However a friend called and I became a big distracted. Put the chicken in the oven and hit preheat (I normally wait for it to reach the temp I want, but oven was still semi warm lol.…

How not to mindlessly eat when emotionally numb
This upcoming weekend is hard for me. It will be the anniversary of my then fiances death (sudden from a car accident). While it happened many years ago and I happily have two amazing significant others (who are extremely supportive and try their best to help me through this time) every year, the nightmares return around…

Tips for battling with steroids and weightloss
I just started an long treatment plan that has me taking steroids every day for 2 months. Last time I was on them, I had not been counting calories or anything and ended up gaining a ton of weight. I also retained water like crazy (when I stopped them the water weight fell off quickly). I know the simple solution to the…
