I was a meat eater. It was only by accident and good healthy eating that I discovered how much better I felt when I cut out meat from my diet! I have Fibromyalgia and I discovered that consuming meat and fat products caused more pain. I am not pain free but if I do eat a burger or steak I feel it Ouch!

WOW! I just found out I am a Pescetarian! I never knew there was a name to my eating habits! How the heck do you pronounce this?

Sweet! I have been thinking about this because I think it will be something I can do. I have Fibromyalgia and I need to stretch. I think the Yoga stuff will be nice. Thanks for your fast reply!  

Hi chubbygirl82,

I don't think I will ever date again. I would feel so guilty maybe, I am not sure. I am not looking for anyone anyways. I guess it burns me because my friends said they would stick by me....yeah right! I guess I need to make new friends and get on with my life. That is so hard to do because everyone associates me to my Ex! Many people don't know that we have even split up and when I tell them, they are floored! Oh well....Onwards and upwards as the saying goes!

At 23 years old I would get a second opinion. You may not need a Hysterectomy at all. If they are fibroids, they can be treated with medication.

You are doing very good by recognizing your eating habits! I didn't realize I was an emotional eater until I weighted about 300 pounds! Yikes! I had to replace eating with anything that I enjoyed doing to take my mind off the emotion. Then I came back (regrouped my thoughts) and self-talked to myself or someone who would listen. With my soon to be ex-husband, I became an emotional eater. AND AN EMOTIONAL WRECK! I am well on my way to a healthy weight now. Slowly, but steady....

Figuring out the emotions and doing something about it is the key!

Good luck!

I believe your claim would make sense. I have Fibromyalgia and I have read cutting out all red meat and dark cola soda-pops. I am not sure why or how it works but it has helped me. Only do the 10 days worth because your body needs other nutrients.

Make sure all your veggies are organic and this would be even better!

Honestly this cracks me up! I really did not know what a "ho" was until I read this!

Original Post by jen32966:   Been there done that too!

If I'm the last person to leave work I have to double check the back door that it is locked at least a few times. And as I'm leaving the front- and locking it- I have to say out loud- "locking door"- otherwise when I get to my car I will wonder if I locked the door. I've been known to get out of my car and walk back to make sure that the door is locked. And when I turn the alarm on I repeat what the voice says- then I know I turned the alarm on- and I have to check at least a few times that the answering machine is turned on- I would probably check more but I close with another co-worker and I don't want them to think I'm that crazy.  I have also been known to drive almost all the way back to work to make sure that the door was locked and that I did turn the alarm on! Luckily- I only live 10 minutes from work....

I also count stairs when I'm walking up and down them- but usually in my head.   And if I'm waiting for an appointment in a doctor office- I will look up at the ceiling and count either ceiling tiles or the little holes.   But I was never that good in math so I don't know why I have a little obsession with counting things...or if there are different colors in a room I will go back and forth and say the different colors in my head- like, brown, green, red, brown, green, red...

I don't need an alarm clock though- I can just mentally tell myself before bed what time I want to wake up and I usually wake up at that exact time or a little earlier.  I know that isn't ocd but I think it is a great power.

Oh yeah,,,I forgot counting for me too! I even look at license plates and have them go over and over in my head! At my last job I did the same thing with the doors! Oiy...I better stop now!

Original Post by nomoreexcuses: this is funny... because no one has said that they're offended and kept to that position.... so far, everyone has said that they're OK with whatever greeting is offered to them...

It's a long thread. Start at the beginning and you'll see them.

i.e. "Well, for me Jesus doesn't exist and you telling me Merry CHRISTmas would be as offensive as me calling you stupid for believing in him."

I was the first to propose that however you want to greet me is fine. It still is.

 nomoreexuces wasn't expressing offense at "Merry Christmas", but rather at coffee's emphasis on saying "Merry CHRISTmas", which changes a friendly and festive holiday greeting into some sort of loaded political challenge and religious test.  Correct me if I'm wrong, nomorexcuses.

Excuse me udokier! I was not implying any negative challenge to how one says Merry Christmas. I would not intentionally say it negatively just to get someone angry! I am better than that! Lets not start this whole thread all over again! And again for the record...I would say Happy Holiday's, Happy ( whatever) to be nice and wish them back the same. I would also say Merry Christmas when ever I had the opportunity.
