Weight Loss I wasnt going to share this but i think it may help me Feb 10 2009

Its OK =)

I had some phobias (which describes exactly what youre talking about).  I was fearful of spiders and heights, and while your situation may be more extreme, I worked wiht other people who had symptoms similiar to yours. 

It may have to do with postpardum, or it could possibly have to do with a little bit of irrational fear.  I studied psychology and I work in the field.  I recommmend going to see a Psychologist(not a Psychriatrist, unless he or she thinks so.)  and explain to her how you are feeling.  A regular doctor will only be able to give you a refferral.

let me know if you'd like to talk.

Best wishes!

Kae.

 

 

Original Post by lithium322:

This is kind of embarrassing to say but it seems like everyone on here is really nice and helpful so here it goes. Sence i had my son 10 months ago i have been extremely paranoid to leave my house. Im just so scared something bad will happen while im outside. I was never like that before my pregnancy. Its probably the main reason i havent lost any weight, im too scared to walk to the gym its only 2 streets away, i dont drive. I know if i actually got out i would lose the weight. all i do is stay home i do no activity at all. I live with my parents and they help me out with my son. I dont know what to do. I wanna go to the gym or just go for a walk to get some cardio in but im just too scared to leave the house. Ive tried working out in the house but i never stick to it. Any advice would be greatly appriciated :)

 

 

The Lounge Papillons (dog) question? Apr 01 2008

My step mom has one of those and she really likes it.  The one she has prances around and shows herself off.  I think you would like the dog if you got it, but be prepared to have a major lap dog.
Although, it was trained to be a show dog soo.. .i'm not sure about other circumstances.
Look up how they are with kids, if you have any
I don't, and my step mom doesn't -- so it worked for her.
Weight Loss Anyone read Skinny Bitch? Apr 01 2008

Skinny bitch is probably one of the worst books i have ever read.  It manipulates you to believe that our entire countries problem is that we consume meat.  If you're wanting to become a veggie, read that book.  If you want to loose weight healthifully and easily, don't.

Also, biggest losers DVD..awesome :)

Sorry I don't live in Las Vegas, NV.  Come on the boards daily, and find a local excersize partner if possible.  (I haven't been successful with that)

Let me know if you run into any hold ups and i'll see what I can do.  It's an awesome support system here.

I just read two Sara Gruen books, and while I am not totally in love with LONG novels I couldn't put the first one nor her sequel down.  Sequels typically aren't as good of reads but she is an AWESOME writer, and what I mean by that is that she writes about things that everyone can relate to.  Seriuosly to get me to read two huge books like that, it HAS to be good.

The first one is called Riding Lessons

and the second one is called Flying Chances.

Don't worry, not into horses? i'm not really either and they aren't even really about horses.  Also, she just put out another novel called Water for Elephants and although it has a murder and I won't be reading it, I hjave heard from the borders online book club video meetings that it's a great book!

You all haven't had bubble teas?

That is insane.  I live in California and there arent neccesarily shops that a person can go to specifically for a bubbletea, or at least not that I have found but you can get them at some vietnameese places.  Typically they are sold at businesses that one wouldn't typically go to unless they knew the area, sorry to generalize but just thought i'd add my two cents.

Obviously nobody that has viewed this does.

I have read some interesting books on meditation and I know from doing core excercises that it can be super helpful.

Check out pilates ;) good luck.
Weight Loss I'm really full but I'm craving an apple. should I eat one? Apr 16 2007

You are probably craving something that is in the Apple.  I would make sure you are craving it after 15 mins and then try it. 

By now, I am sure you have already either eaten it or decided not to, but that's the rule in general.

Miss snufflucks, how cute ;)

You are sick, I think your body gets special privilages for food.  Make sure you drink LOTS.  It's okay to spoil your body when you get sick, just don't bidge.  I'm the kind that doesn't eat when I am sick, so if that's the same for you, make sure you eat at least something!

Anthropology was NOT fun for me.  Good luck with that.  If I were you.  I would just skim my notes and do the best you can.  Besides, doing something is better than nothing.

Get well Snuffles!

that's like the biggest, most broad question that you can ask.

Use all of the tools.  Find out your measurements and your calorie intake and then in order to loose weight you will need a deficit.  High protein/low carb is a fad diet.  It probably won't la  st.

Have you ever downloaded comedy shows?  They crack me up!  When I was in Vegas, I went and saw Rita Rudner, and she was hilarious! She has some of her stuff on the internet, she'll crack you up for about 20 minutes!

Also, I just looked up "laughing and squeezing abs at the same time to lose weight".  And I found this site with tips of how to lose weight during the day by making little changes. 

http://webcenters.netscape.compuserve.com/hom erealestate/feature.jsp?story=CO_50habitsofth inpeople

Read it, it was also a good laugh for me.  "Before you do this, make sure your chair has wheels" lol!

Difference? In which context?

Sugar from fruit is fructose and refined sugar is sucrose.
