Nick.

I dont care if I dont get any points for this. but its the one thing I would give anything to have back. anything.

I lost him last night...and I already miss him. I'd do anything not to have to miss him anymore.

It's the hardest thing a human being has to do.

Hey all--I have never posted on this thread before but I come see it once in a while to get good ideas for uping my cals. But I just wanted to tell you guys that I found an item on a menu at the local pub we are going to tonight that CLEARLY is calorie delicious.  However I have been scared to try it because of the odd combination of foods...

It's called the Skippy Burger: It's a regualr burger, with you guessed it, chuknky peanut butter, bacon and provalone cheese.

Its sounds horrible, but EVERYONe I know who has tried it says its one of the msot amazing things they haev ever tasted.  Im a fan of peanut butter so I think Im going to give it a try tonight. After all, it's my birthday, so why not splurge!?  :)

Good luck and good eating!

I've tried to tell her that if she doesnt eat...and then decides to go out to the bar and load up on a lot of empty calories, or to eat a more substantial meal that its all going to just store in her body because her mind thinks it's starving (which it is) and will USE all of it, instead of burning it.  I think that got thru to her a little bit.

Also she was saying how she was hungry once and then said right after it, holy crap its cold in here (it really wasnt that cold) so I snapped and said "well if you ate something then maybe you wouldnt be so cold all the time!"...I think this offended her...but I just couldnt hold it in anymore!

Mine isn’t quite as bad as these but it was back in my senior year of high school. I had just gone through my first real heart break. Devistated, I started talking to a guy I casually knew who went to prom with one of my friends. I wasn’t really interested but I could tell he was.  The next week was Valentines day, and since we both didn’t have anything going on we decided to go see a movie together. Horrible idea. Never make your first date on Valentines day, no matter how desperate you are.  It totally skews your expectations into something WAY more than it should be.  It probably didn’t help that when we got to the movie my recent ex’s best friends were sitting a few rows behind us.  The ENTIRE movie my date just kept staring at me.  From what I could tell it was his attempt to try to kiss me, so I did the best I could to stare straight at the movie the entire time, if I had moved my head an inch his way I was sure he would grab me and try to make a move. That’s when I realized I totally wasn’t in to him. Or maybe it was when he kept commenting on the lead actors hair and saying how he wished his hair was like that (the movie was ‘Miracle’…if you know what I mean you know that it couldn’t get much worse) oh but how could I have been so blind? Besides, he showed up at my house wearing the same peacoat my sister had. Man was I oblivious back then.

Breakfast: pumpkin oatmeal, sf pudding

snack: apples and cream

lunch: chicken tortilla soup, whole grain roll, dry cereal

dinner: going out (again...this whole restaurant thing is not helping my cause)...im going to try to go for some lean meat and a salad (or both at once).
