The Lounge	Question about tailoring pants?	Jan 24 2007 03:23 (UTC)
Hello - tailoring is cheaper. I've done it on some really nice pants that were just too big. I definately agree with the "mom and pop" type places suggestion. They'll do good work because it's their business. Good luck!

Here's a thought - next time you get the "you're always eating" comment you need to come back with "and you're always watching. Haven't you got anything better to do than monitor my eating habits?" Maybe that will get your point across.

I haven't finished reading all the posts yet but this is SO my club!! I'm 5'11 and 230lbs. This is an all time high for me. I love being tall but not so much being "big". I have heard the "you carry it well" comments before, too. Most ppl would never guess my true weight but that doesn't really make me feel any better, you know? I do weigh more than my husband and it bothers me that he might find out. Isn't that silly? Oh well, really great to meet you all!!

Great story, cmillington! I wish I could sit next to you at parties - anything that scares 50 year old men sounds like fun to me! So you're not the only freak out there!
The Lounge	How do you get over someone?	Jan 16 2007 03:12 (UTC)	23
Oh, I've so been there. SO been there. It just hurts so bad ... I still remember how shockingly painful it was for me and it's been almost 10 years now. Wow, I've gotten old. LOL! The only thing I can tell you is you need time. You need time and you need distance. You don't have to cut him out of your life but it's almost impossible to heal if you don't put some space in between you while you get your feet back under you. Best of luck.

Isn't it funny how the things we are taught in childhood stay with us even once we grow up and learn it is possible to do things another way? I, too, am a member of the clean plate club. It's hard for me to "waste good food" and boy, does it show! Another habit that carries over from childhood is I work very hard not to touch anything at all in public restrooms. Not even the doors!

Claire, that is so funny!! I honestly haven't ever known a cat that didn't enjoy stalking bugs. But I do have a beagle mix that is absolutely terrified of cats. Even tiny little kittens ...

I honestly didn't even realize that you could harm yourself by drinking too much water! Guess you learn something every day ...
Weight Loss	Anyone else a newbie like me?	Jan 16 2007 02:58 (UTC)	4
I'm a constant newbie. I joined and quit. I have a bad habit of giving up but I'm trying to stick with it. I'm hoping by getting more involved in the forums, it will motivate me more. Great to meet all of you!!
The Lounge	return of the binge eater	Jan 12 2007 03:12 (UTC)	1
I'm not sure if I have this disorder or not. I don't do it every night or anything but sometimes I will just shove everything I can find down my throat. Example - one night I ate an entire box of oatmeal cookies. Now I wouldn't find that so odd except for 2 things. I didn't like the oatmeal cookies in question AT ALL and I wasn't hungry. It's so strange, it's more like a compulsion than a craving. And the whole time I'm shoving them in my mouth I was thinking, "Stop that, you don't even like them. They're not even good, why are you DOING this?". But I couldn't seem to stop it once I'd gotten started. And afterwards, I was so disgusted with myself. I dunno, I can't explain it. I'm not even all that interested in diagnosing myself. I'd really just like to find a way to stop it for good.
Motivation	heartbroken... "i don't date fat girls"....	Jan 08 2007 02:41 (UTC)	3
I didn't read all the replies to this but the ones I did read are SO RIGHT. If a size 6 is fat, I will just swim out to sea now to be with my kind cause I am a WHALE! You need to tell his friends that you don't date guys with small "equiptment"! ;0
The Lounge	return of the binge eater	Jan 08 2007 01:59 (UTC)	6
Wow - it's really a disorder? I will read up on this and see what I can learn. I thought this was something that only I did. It's like being bulimic without the purging. Switching up is a good idea ... maybe every time I want to clear out the fridge (by way of eating everything in it) I'll do some kind of chore or something? I don't know ... maybe sedatives? LOL! Thanks for the responses ... I already feel a little better.

1. Calorie Count Name (user id): deegarman 2. Name you prefer to be called in discussions: Dee is fine - it's short for Denise. 3. Age & Sex: 31, female 4. General Location: Richmond, VA 5. Married? Single? I've been married for almost 9 years now. No one is more surprised about it than I! :) 6. Kids? Furbabies? I have the most adorable fur babies ever (and I love that expression!!). My oldest "child" is Jenna. She's a springer spaniel/Border Collie mix and was abandoned at my sister's campus when she was about 7 because (we assume) she had heart worms. She's been with me for about 6 years now. My youngest "child" is Penny. She's a beagle/golden retriever mix and my husband brought her home from the pound on her last day before they put her down. 7. Favorite color? I love earth tones. Maroon is nice, too. 8. Favorite movie? I really don't know. I loved Forrest Gump ... it's been a while since I've seen something that really stood out for me. 9. Hobbies? Napping and reading. No wonder I'm chunky, huh? ;p 10. Favorite Snack? Anything high in fat and calories. 11. Favorite Beverage? Diet Coke and Coors Light. 12. Biggest Obstacle to Getting Healthy? Me - lol! Seriously, I was diagnosed with Ulcerative Colitis about a year ago. It's a disgusting chronic illness that, besides making me sick, has made me afraid to leave the house at times. 13. Weight/Fitness Goal? I'll never be "thin", I'm not that person. I just want to be able to feel normal again and get my energy and fitness back. 14. Least Favorite Household Chore? I hate 'em all but I think cooking or washing dishes must be the worst. 15. How did you find Calorie Count? I was looking for a low calorie reciepe for something and stumbled across it. 16. Anything Else You'd Like To Share? I'm just getting back onto this sight and I'm hoping to make a few friends and to get my eating under control. I'm excited ... but a little scared, too.

The Lounge	Does anyone know any good hangover remedies?	Aug 25 2006 04:31 (UTC)	8
My suggestion - call in sick! I know, that wasn't helpful. I try to head off a hangover by forcing down a bottle of Gatorate with ibuprofin before I pass out.
The Lounge	Real Names	Aug 25 2006 04:28 (UTC)	12
I'm Denise and (this may shock you) I go by Dee for short. I don't know what my name means. Does anyone else? I could look it up ... I guess. Maybe it means "lazy one".
Weight Loss	That skinny girl at the gym...............	Aug 24 2006 02:53 (UTC)	20
ohhhhh I so relate to this. There I am, slugging along all sweaty and greasy and along comes this supermodel!! I can't help it, I hate her. She somehow manages to look cute even while sweating. She never breathes hard. Who looks that cute in a ponytail??? Let's never forget the perfect matched workout gear ... Kelly - my supermodel blonde is always a multi-tasker. And she DOES scare me, too!!! ;p

I just wanted to tell you that my sister and I picked up a name for that uncomfortable sensation. CHUB RUB!!
The Lounge	i dont fit in :'(	Aug 24 2006 01:58 (UTC)	9
Hi Han! Is it possible that they didn't mean to ignore you? I've been at my current job 7 years now and sometimes we slip up and do leave the newer folks out. Not because we mean to or because we don't like them but because we're just so used to each other. Maybe they didn't mean it. I hope they didn't, you seem super sweet!

P. S. Had I known I could work drunk if I were a lawyer, I may have decided to go to law school!!

You guys are so great. Thanks so much to everyone who replied to make me feel better or to welcome me. Athena - I always knew I had an older twin sister out there somewhere!! I'm glad I finally tracked you down, sistah!! HK - Hi neighbor, I'm in Richmond VA. Seems like you are doing really great. I looked at your pictures, very impressive. I have posted a picture but I'm really not ready to see my own body in a picture. The last one I saw, I asked myself "who's that fat girl ... OH MY GOD, it's me!!". Terribly traumatic. Last but not least ... AM I the only one drunk on this forum?! ;) Ask again on Friday, maybe.

obsidyan - looks like you're doing great! I have never lost a pound in my life so you're already ahead of me in my opinion! And your dog & kitty are adorable. Thanks for everyone for the kind responses and encouragement. I already feel better and I'm going to really give this a try. P. S. Plume, good point. Guess I didn't think about the fact that some of the "small people" worked hard to get where they are now, huh? ;p
The Lounge	Just had my first Brazilian Wax	Aug 23 2006 01:58 (UTC)	16
Now I'm curious ... I've always thought about having it done but the only thing I've ever waxed before is my eyebrows. ;p So here is my silly question. Before you get this done, should you let everything grow back and go in "au natural"? I don't have any idea what the protcol here is ...

Wow - thank you all so much for your wonderful ideas!! I can see this forum is going to be a big help. I'll let you know my favorites once I've had a chance to try a few of the ideas you've all given me. Thanks again for the warm welcome! nubiker - I'm so sorry to hear of the loss of your mother. I cannot imagine how hard that must have been for you. (cyber hug!!)
