| Foods | Anyone else obssesed with cooking now that you are counting calories? | Oct 06 2009 12:55 (UTC) |

Yeah, I am still absolutely obsessed with cooking. After all, I had to find new, healthy, tasty things to replace all those cakes and fried bread, right? I love cooking now and finding new things to make. |

| Vegetarian | Considering Going Vegetarian | Oct 04 2009 10:56 (UTC) |

I went vegetarian a couple of years ago and it wasn't for moral reasons. For me it was a way to coax myself into a healthier diet and to cut down on eating out (a couple of years ago in Estonia it was near impossible to find decent vegetarian food in restaurants, it's still pretty bad now). I eat milk products and eggs, but not fish or any kind of animal/bird. I guess that classifies me as a parasite:D The difficulties would be getting enough protein and iron and B-group vitamins (eggs help, a lot), I also took supplements for a while. It was also hard dealing with other people, especially here, where vegetarianism was pretty much unheard of. Friends birthday parties were also hard because some of them only bought/made meat-based snacks and crisps. Since I'm a student in my hometown, I still live with my mum. It was hard explaining my new choices to my family, but they eventually accepted it and became more accommodating food-wise. Overall, I feel good about my decision, I started to like veggies a lot more, I learned to cook tasty things, I feel better, my diet has improved and I lost quite a bit of extra weight without too many problems. If you're not that into meat, I would definitely recommend going vegetarian. Sorry for rambling, if you have any more questions, ask me:) |

| The Lounge | Talk to me about passive aggressive | Sep 30 2009 20:47 (UTC) |

Oh, man. I *am* passive aggressive and it's horrible. I'm trying to deal with it and say things out loud if i have a problem with something and avoid guilting people into doing things, but it's so hard! Out of all possible methods to get something (anything!) out of someone, this works the best. Asking nicely rarely works. I'm also a "forgetter". I learned it from my mother. Our arguments are weird. I really want to stop because i don't want to torture my boyfriend.
So yeah, stone me:) |

| Weight Loss | For the Pears- Waist to Hip Ratio | Jun 07 2009 20:54 (UTC) |

I'm 5'3, 24''waist and 37''hips. All my weight loss is behind me and I'm on maintenance... And I wear european size 34-36 (US 4-6?). It's nearly impossible to find non-low-rise trousers that fit my nonstandard figure, the outlets that sell stuff for people with curvier figures don't carry my size. I've had to sew darts in 90% of my trousers and even skirts! |

| Foods | Eating for your ancestry? What is your take on it? | May 27 2009 03:55 (UTC) |

My ancestry... That would mean eating bread with salted lard, perhaps with some potatoes. Times were tough for peasants in northern Europe :D |

I think you did well. If she's normally like that, she'll write you off as another one of "those" people, because I'm sure you're not the only one who has expressed concern. No harm done. However, if she does have a problem, it could be her wake up call. So even if she got angry, you may have helped her.

| Weight Loss | Does dieting make you miserable? | Mar 26 2009 12:17 (UTC) |

"Dieting" forces me to enjoy every bite of my healthy, well-rationed food. As a result, I enjoy every meal and am a happier person. |

| Motivation | I just bought size 14 pants! | Mar 23 2009 17:31 (UTC) |

This is a great feeling indeed! I just bought UK size 6 jeans (don't kill me, i'm very short and they're stretchy)! Last summer I wore size 12... :D I think it's about time to go on maintenance, mission accomplished! And just in case again, no, I'm not underweight :)

| Weight Loss | do you think the size of your friends influences your weight? | Mar 16 2009 20:58 (UTC) |

Oh yes! I had a friend who was morbidly obese, so i felt so very skinny with my 10 excess kilos! When we stopped being friends i realised I had ballooned and lost it as fast as i could. The only skinny friends I have hit the gym 4 times a week, so that's perfectly reasonable. One day, I will pull myself together and go with them.
