I <3 Breakfast. I don't get as snacky all day long when I eat in the mornings.

Emo is over now. The new thing is vampire.

Lawl, truth.

Fortius is deffo my new hero. I needed a good laugh. XD

Yeah, I lie about little stuff to make people feel better sometimes, but most often than not I am blatantly honest.

Alright, thank you. I figure there's going to be many interpretations, but hkellick summed it up for me. Basically my facebook status: "complicated" of a man said something he wanted me to misunderstand as the truth as to avoid me finding out what he really did (because he thought I would be upset), but I wouldn't buy into it, because I could tell he was acting shady. He's never lied to me before... that I know of... and I could tell something wasn't right.

That's just it.. I wasn't even mad at what he did. I had gotten mad over it in the past, but I had since then learn to tolerate it so as to avoid going through fights about it. I didn't freak out until he lied to me.

I've been like that too. I've just been attributing it to hormones and seasonal changes, though. I always get a bit more depressed when winter comes around. For a night owl I really thrive on light.

If you're not too crunched for cash turn a few extra lights on, you might be amazed at the difference.. or go for some walks during your lunch break. It'll boost your mood and get you some much needed sunlight. Fresh air is allways good for the mind. Just try it once or twice and see if it helps.

And don't fall into emotional eating! Find a set schedule and stick to it. I eat breakfast, snack, lunch, snack, dinner. Some weeks I stay in the 1300 cals range, with a day for 1500, and some weeks I do 1500 cal days with one or two 1300.

It's important to address the problem at hand, that's why a routine (with vaying calories so that your body doesn't get bored) helps out greatly. Your emotions don't need to be connected with your food intake at all! Feel free to message me if you just need to vent over crap happening in real life. Sometimes it helps just to have someone listen to you!

i totally agree with the op. 

i really just don't understand how a very overweight or obese person can go from taking in 2500+ calories a day, to having to "stuff themselves" to get 1200. i actually get a little annoyed when i see those kinds of posts.

 

It's like everyone else said, it's a change in eating habits. It takes more nutritious foods to build up the calories. Some days I struggle to get to 1300- those are my oatmeal/salad/fish days. Some days I eat out for lunch like yesterday, indulge and get very full because i'm not used to restraunt sized portions, so I end up with 1400-1500 calories.. but I'm full at the end of the night, and only eat a small snack like half a pb&j or some yogurt just to stay in rhythm. I only go butt-wild on holidays and birthdays.. but even then I really doubt I do too bad.

I've trained myself to look at food and not think "must eat ALL of it" but to think "that looks really delicious, but I only need a little bit to be happy".

I work in a medical clinic, and Drug Reps bring free food and sweets ALL the time. I allow myself to always try something that I haven't had before, even if it's some sort of doughnut. The difference is I ask someone to split it with me. That way I don't miss out on life, but I can still work toward the life I want.

Honey, if he's already getting the sex, then he has no reason to commit.

I like the cookie idea. Cheap, not too showy, but still says that thought about him and you took time out of your day to show make him something for him alone to enjoy.

I don't know if you have a wooded area anywhere around, but some friends and I recently had a lot of "active" fun by raking up an epic proportion of leaves (think 4-5 ft tall, 4-g long, 3ft wide) and then jumping off of something high on to them. We used a trampoline mostly, but there have been times before that we have just used the deck. It's a lot more fun with the trampoline!

Whoever said playing in the leaves is just for kids is missing out!  I'm a 19 year old woman and I had a blast.

Well if you normally have a small lunch and a small snack, and you aren't hungry, I don't see any reason to have the snack.

Hmm... well this really all has to do with genetics, you know that right?

When I was 15-17 I was 5'10.. I'm 19 now and after some back problems from sports and boobs and years of bad posture i'm 5'8.

Sit up straight when you're young!

# 1  Islam is is a monotheistic, Abrahamic religion originating with the teachings of the Islamic prophet Muhammad, a 7th century Arab religious and political figure. The word Islam means "submission", or the total surrender of oneself to God (Arabic: الله‎, Allāh). An adherent of Islam is known as a Muslim, meaning "one who submits [to God]".

#2  According to early tradition, the writing of the book of Revelations took place near the very end of Domitian's reign, around 95 or 96 C.E. Others contend for an earlier date, 68 or 69 C.E., in the reign of Nero or shortly thereafter. The majority of modern scholars also use these dates

so: FAIL

there was no such thing as a muslim when Revelations was written

the term would have been totally and completely meaningless to the people alive at the time, it would be like saying that McCain and Palin are Barracktilian (a word that doesn't exist and has no meaning)

Tell your anti-christ preaching friends to go back to the Bible and read it again and come back with some better information on this.

I actually took that route. It was after her reply that I finally gave up. She said that the bible didn't mention it by word, but that it predicted the muslim religion much like it also predicted the 9/11 attacks etc etc and that many of the things predicted have been proven to be accurate.

I replied with "The Book of Revelation can be considered accurate.. yes.. but so can my horoscope for this week" and then we moved back to more neutral topics.

You've made your point about how some of the weirdest rumors are spread about the candidates. However, it was really frickin' rude of you to bring up the special needs child Trig and say "well IDK, he might could do just as well as any of the other dumb ducks currently in office." If you had a special needs kid, I don't think you would consider it funny even if the child were of a parent of a different political party. To be so partisan that you lack empathy or hope for these kids is pretty sickening.

 

You are the only person out of all the people I've shared this week who found fault in that. My little sister has autism, I'm fully aware of situations reguarding special needs kids. I was not judging Palin's child, I'm recongizing his limitations and poking fun at politicians.

You may think I'm rude and sickening, but ma'am, I think you need to let loose a little bit. Laughter has what has gotten my family and myself through hard times, both economical and medical.

Don't be so quick to presume that I'm lacking of empathy or hope. I also don't live in the clouds, and take a healthy dose of reality with every wish or dream I make for my little sister.
