| i think this halloween, i will give out little fun-size bags of dried fruit or unsalted nuts. that way, you can still participate in the festive spirit, but you won't hear those candy bars calling to you in the middle of the night! :)
as for chocolate cake, i think maybe weight watchers makes little individual serving cakes that are supposed to be pretty good. plus, like other people have said, those Fiber One bars are really yummy! |

| Weight Loss | Too MUCH Water? | May 21 2007 17:16 (UTC) |

| if you're drinking that much, and you're still really thirsty, you may consider having your blood sugar checked. one of the primary complaints of people with type 2 diabetes is being thirsty all the time. obviously, there could be plenty of other reasons, like you're exercising and sweating a lot, or whatever, or if you're eating lots of salt. just be really careful if you have any history of diabetes in your family. | |||

| tacos (with corn tortillas) can be a really good choice, as long as you don't eat more than two, and get them without cheese. also, avoid refried beans. lots of places let you get black beans instead, and they're somewhat better. i will usually order a two-enchilada plate (chicken enchiladas w/tomatillo salsa) then just eat one enchilada, half the rice and half the beans, and then you have lunch for tomorrow! doing that makes it about 400 calories a serving. | |||

| thrift stores can become your best friend!! some of them have perfectly decent, clean clothes for cheap, cheap, cheap, so you can buy "new" clothes without breaking the bank. also, it can be fun to have a swap-party with your friends! everyone brings over the clothes that don't fit any more, and then you all try stuff on and trade so everyone has clothes that fit without spending anything! | |||
| Weight Loss | Pear-shaped VS. apple-shaped, who loses faster? | May 18 2007 18:46 (UTC) |

| yeah, i don't think either one loses weight faster. the only thing i've heard is that apples will lose weight faster if they cut carbs more, while pears should focus on cutting fat. dunno if that is true at all, but it's something to consider. | |||

| yeah, definitely do not feel bad!! my mother-in-law is a MAJOR food-pusher. and if you turn it down, she gets all offended and upset, and to me, it's worth it to go a little over on my calories if it means not hurting her feelings, b/c she's a really great mother-in-law. the main thing is, you don't live with your aunt, so to me, it's not worth making a fuss over. some people just get so obssessed with calorie-counting and dieting that they forget to enjoy life and accept love from people in the way they know how to show it best. | |||
| Weight Loss | Tips for eating at a party? | May 08 2007 21:01 (UTC) |

| the only thing i do regularly is if it's a walking-around, snacking party, then i get the smallest available plate and fill it with mostly veggies and a few little cheese cubes, if there are any (i'm a cheese fiend). then, i get a friend to split a brownie or cookie or whatever with me, so i can satisfy my sweet tooth. | |||

| yeah, the two times i took prednisone, i didn't want to eat anything, and i had WAY too much energy. i think i only slept about 4 hours each night that i was on it. i'm sure it just affects different people in different ways. i think everyone is right about drinking plenty of water and not changing your eating habits too much. good luck with your surgery!! | |||

| Hey, MSN posted a really good article recently about how to eat healthy food without spending a fortune.
http://health.msn.com/dietfitness/articlepage .aspx?cp-documentid=100153740 What's really hard is if you live in a small town, where your only option for groceries is Wal-Mart or something. Then people are like, "whole-grain what?" Good luck to all of us!! |
