The Lounge	Victims of Thought- a LONG rant.	Apr 19 2007 14:08 (UTC)	2
You know what can be counted on when terrible stuff like this happens ? Inevitably, all the opinions come out of the woodwork.. pundits and wannabes all point fingers at our society, technology, lack of values, fast food, (the twinkie defense) everything and everything. Its normal. Our minds are trying to come to grips with the fact that terrible things happen in this world to people - and we have no control over it. This lack of control terrifies people - Its much easier to believe that the rape victim asked for it - or the parents are to blame - that way we give ourselves the illusion that we can protect ourselves and the ones we love - Bottom line - the man was CRAZY - and crazy people have always and will always do crazy things -

Fitness	too many crunches = thicker waist?	Apr 11 2007 20:27 (UTC)	8
I do 130 - 150 crunches in a day... varying the type (obliques), reverse, etc.. and it has not made my waist thicker. What it does is make my core strong... and I have no tummy bulge...

Hey all.. check out my default photo... I have no idea what I weigh these days cause I havent been on a scale for over a month... I will get on in a bit... but I just turned 49 and 4 days later I passed the belt testing... I think I look pretty hot for an old lady :-)
Weight Loss	My Grandmother!	Apr 07 2007 15:01 (UTC)	11
Its not OK to do anything to a rational adult without their consent. At 82, your gramma has forgotten more about life than you know at this point. I know you love her, so discuss it with her.... respectfully... see what she thinks.
Health & Support	Anyone here have Type II diabetes?	Mar 05 2007 20:50 (UTC)	14
My husband was diagnosed 3 years ago. The diet for a diabetic is very healthy. I made the decision at that time to change my eating as well... Its been a wonderful change for both of us. His A1c was at 13 - it was very very very high... we got it down to about 8 with diet and exercise... pills helped with the rest... now its at about 6 which is pretty good. It started me on the road to healthful eating so it was a blessing in disguise. Good luck to you.
The Lounge	I have made a mistake - Friends questioning my loyalty.	Mar 05 2007 15:56 (UTC)	2
Let a lady chime in here... Your "friends" appear to have the emotional maturity of highschoolers while you appear to be a decent genuine human being. According to your set.. a human being that has suffered the loss of a relationship deserves to lose her social set as well.... Just cause someone is no longer a GF doesnt mean they cease to be a human being. Your "friends" need to get lives.. they appear to thrive on drama... contriving it when required.

I did too ! I love it when the non-winners do well... its so great that these kids get a break. There is sooo much talent in this country. I was sorry to see AJ leave tho.. Sanjay is cute as a button but the kid is not a great singer.
Weight Loss	Loss of patience for overweight people?	Mar 01 2007 23:33 (UTC)	25

Weight Loss	Loss of patience for overweight people?	Mar 01 2007 23:20 (UTC)	28
I look at fat people and I realize how difficult a problem obesity is to solve. There are so many different factors... for me, childhood sexual abuse led to eating disorders, including anorexia, bulimia and compulsive overeating. (also cutting, addictive behaviour, no self esteem and PTSD and depression). I've been thru the mill, getting better and better as my spirit, my mind and my body have been healing. I am so grateful for CC and the CC family. I am almost 50 years old and I am finally eating like a normal person - rebuilding my relationship with food, reclaiming my health and learning to love my body. It hasnt been easy.. and NO ONE looking at me would ever have begun to guess what its been like. I dont judge fat people... or skinny people..... or any other person... you cant tell looking at a person what they are like.. and your impatience and lack of compassion for others is really impatience and lack of compassion for yourself.
The Lounge	American Idol..	Mar 01 2007 23:02 (UTC)	30
I think Lakisha has an amazing voice... that woman hangs in there and she will have a story like Fantasia's - single mom and can now provide a real future for her child.. gotta love that... Melinda can really really really sing - and I love 17 year old Jordan... The last woman to sing is very good.. the rest are sort of forgetable.. it remains to be seen who grows during the show... I mean.. that happens... Its like 10 years of singing gigs compressed into a few months... all the expert coaches, stylists, etc.. not to mention the time and the focus... Great chatting with you guys...
The Lounge	American Idol..	Feb 28 2007 23:04 (UTC)	41
Im still having a hard time with the guys... there is no standout singer IMHO - even beat box guy is too.... I dont know... doofus hipster maybe... for me... Personality.. curly haired guy is very cool.. and I guess he can sing... sunshine head or whatever child of hippy parents who did RIDE SALLY RIDE I like... cause of the name... 17 year old Indian/Pakistani guy sang badly.. .but will probably stay cause he is adorable.... Im waiting on the girls.. hope they knock it outta the park again tonite... great chatting about AI - addicted to the show...
Fitness	Toning lots of flab (former muscle)	Feb 27 2007 20:51 (UTC)	2
I kinda heard that in your post.... and there is no question.. it is very hard to do the things you love when you are a working mom.... Its very easy to put yourself on the bottom of the list... Do you live in a large or small center. I know that in my community, they have a health club with a day care attached and pickup volleyball games going on for most of the day. I realize its a challenge. I hope you find something you love to do and can work into your schedule. PS - good tip about the utube videos... very cool
Fitness	Toning lots of flab (former muscle)	Feb 27 2007 19:52 (UTC)	6
thats a tough one... see.. I used to lift weights 3 times a week (big weights - stuff a lot of the guys couldnt do) and I would run 7K (4 1/2 miles) 4 times per week... I did it for a decade... then one day, I just got so sick of it.. life was too short.... after that, I would only do exercise if I was doing something I loved... I built a pond, worked for a landscaper, rode horses, etc. Now, I am doing Taekwando. The point is... if I dont love it, I wont keep up with it... We all have so much stuff we think we HAVE to do that exercise is something I want to love... So.. my daughter belly dances, lots of people do kickboxing, they have workout DVD's - you can hiphop your way to health, there is pilates, etc... Maybe you can go to your library and check out some workout tapes - find one you love... do you have a communty center ? maybe water aerobics is your thing... how about yoga ? I guess what I am saying is the key is consistancy and commitment.. get creative and have fun ! Good luck

super cool .. thanks for posting ... (I dont get prevention)
Weight Loss	One measley pound!	Feb 27 2007 19:44 (UTC)	4
I'm losing about 5 lbs a month. I posted in my journal that this is sooooo slow and how can I speed it up. The people on this site straightened me out quick. I mean, I can do this for the rest of my life.. eat like this that is... and its 60 lbs a year... If I know that in 6 months I can be 30 lbs lighter and not have to worry about it coming back on then that is GREAT ! Congrats on the pound a week.. that is good work ! Celebrate !

Look.. the last thing that an incest victim needs is confrontation... that is effective for a lot of issues BUT NOT incest. There are sooo few experts in this area and it is fraught with danger... cusonat.. the cutting is something that relieves the pain... but it just gives you one more thing to be ashamed about... and it blows people away.. they dont know how to deal with you anyway and the cutting just adds more to the pile... The big thing is that you are a survivor... You know that deep down inside you you have a special guide... that spiritual being that keeps you safe... You know what you need right now... Ask yourself what it is and try to give it to yourself... Take care honey... you will get thru this and it does get better.
Fitness	Cycling question	Feb 27 2007 04:44 (UTC)	3
I think commuting to work on your bike is wonderful. You are helping with the environment and your health is benefitting tremendously. I dont think the change in calories burned matters a whit ! Good for YOU !
Weight Loss	Appetite control	Feb 27 2007 04:41 (UTC)	3
some work for some, some work for none... I understand wanting a little help with appetite but if you take pills you wont learn what you need to know to control your weight for the rest of your life. You will also be paying the price in money and who knows what side affects. Remember ephedra ? worked good but killed people. Drink lots of water - eat high fibre foods - veggies and protein... take a walk - take a shower.. learn what works for you and stay away from pills...

Darn.. I live in Wisconsin 9 months of the year.. but I dont get back there until April 10th... I would have come...
Foods	sodium intake	Feb 25 2007 18:24 (UTC)	15
Im not sure about dieters, but my husband is diabetic and his nutritionist says to keep it between 2 an 3 thousand milligrams per day... Its totally doable if we watch it...
Motivation	The Secret	Feb 25 2007 18:17 (UTC)	3
shakti its not science either... science has double blind reproducable tests and published results.... Im not saying anything about the validity of the Law of Attraction ... it may be everything people claim it to be... but its not science. .. yet
Weight Loss	how oten should i weigh myself?	Feb 25 2007 18:14 (UTC)	1
I agree with shesbeautiful... if I weigh everyday and I lose a pound, I dont believe it... and if I gain a pound I get discouraged... cant win... so I weigh every two weeks... I am losing weight very slowly, and this way I dont fixate on the numbers. (I have a history or eating disorders). Whatever works for you is what you need to do.
The Lounge	Irrational fears - hanging my neurosis out to dry	Feb 24 2007 02:27 (UTC)	5
I am 6 feet tall and when I went to Europe 4 years ago I weighed 248 lbs... An idiot beside me on the airplane did the same thing... so.. its not your size - in fact, its not you at all... the guy is an idiot...
The Lounge	I think I'm crazy? Am I?	Feb 24 2007 02:25 (UTC)	5
You are not crazy hon.. but you are on your way to an eating disorder. The chewing and spitting is actually quite common with some of the EDs. Your inability to distinguish how you really look is another sign.. you see yourself as fatter than you really are... You need to get some help.. see an expert in eating disorders. You may be able to nip this in the bud.. before it gets really serious. Good luck. You are in my thoughts.
Weight Loss	I never introduced myself.	Feb 23 2007 20:50 (UTC)	9
I am using my willpower to stop the purging Smart girl.. thats the key you know... to stop the destructive behaviour... sometimes tho.. willpower is not enough.. and there is nothing wrong with stacking the deck in your favor.. getting all the help you can.. for example, when I quit smoking, I researched it - read all the stats and opinions to find out what made people successful, made a plan, involved my doctor, my family and my friends.. and then quit.... Eating disorders are powerful and sneaky... read all you can, learn all you can and for goodness sake... ask for help when you need it... even if you dont need it... wont hurt. Good luck hon.
Motivation	thanks cc buddies	Feb 22 2007 20:49 (UTC)	4

You are invisiable.. you cant yourself in a mirror, the invisiablity comes and goes.. at your big presentation you have spinich in your teeth and you caught your skirt in the back of your panty hose after a bathroom break where the TP got stuck back there as well..... and your invisiability becomes visiable.... I wish I had my dream job
