The Lounge What exactly does it mean to "binge" eat? Dec 22 2008

Thanks for your responses.  I understand that there is a definition to the word, but I think that everyone might have there own definition.  Binge eating is referred to alot on this site and I was mainly wondering if we are just cheating on our diet or are we eating as if we will not ever eat again...

 

Fitness Snacking at Work Dec 04 2008

Vicki - I like the plan that you are on.  I definitely agree with the PLANNING part, but when I remember to plan it is too late.  My typical snacks at work are pretzels or peanuts or even saltines. I don't think they are bad, but I feel like I shouldn't be eating ALL the time. Food is seriously on my brain from the time I wake up until I go to bed. 

Is the 2200 calories to maintain or to loose?  How is that working for you?

Thanks so much for all the responses so far.  Vicki, I might try your diet. It sounds managable. I think if I get to eat every 2 hours just about, I should be a happy camper.  Smile

 

 

The Lounge Help - writing career goals Dec 04 2008

Thanks so much for the info and no it is not to detailed.  That is the info that I need and I still need more.

 I am writing a letter of application and one of the questions reads "Describe your career goals for the next 5-10 years".  I basicly want to continue educating myself with managerial courses or attend workshops, but at the same time, I am hoping that by year 3, I can be in a supervisory role.  By the way, I work in an office.  Nothing fancy, but they are offering a program for people who are interested in becoming leaders within the organization.

This is where I struggle... I do not know how I should start my paragraph on this.  I need help constructing a very nice formatted paragraph.

Would I start:

I hope to see myself....

or

My career goals for the next 5-10 years include....

 

And then I would need some filling to that. 

I feel like I'm the kid asking my parents to do my homework, but I really need  some insight on this.

If you were asked this question, how would you answer it?

 

Weight Loss Has any one noticed this or am I crazy? Dec 02 2008

I totally know what you are talking about!  It drives me absolutely crazy too. I have serious fat days about a week before my time and then near the end of my cycle and the week after, I feel like a million bucks again and all the diet and exercise goes down the drain.  I not only feel bloated during my cycle and a few days before, but I feel "puffy".  I feel like my face even looks fatter.... does that happen to you? I honestly think that it has to do with water weight gain before you get your cycle and then after the water weight leaves and you feel skinny again.  I used to take diuretics to control the water weight gain and it helped, but I do not take them any longer (my hubby tells me know more "diet pills")....

I am definitely open to more suggestions on how to control this monthly feeling.
