I just really do not even know what to call it.  He never hits me or anything. I just need support group to help me understand what is going on, an maybe get the courage to do something about it. I feel so small every day.

I am suffering from depression as well. I have yet to come out with it in the real world, but it is something tha stays with you. Sometimes when I drink coffee I feel better.  Sometimes us silent suferer's use everything an anything to make it feel better. I don't have much advice since I am still in it, but I am here if ya need to talk.

I think anything I do would make my  bf feel jealous. If I could cook better, clean better, dress better, take care of my son better....make more money than him. Jealousy isn't necessarily always about boys an girls. although he would get jealous if I talked to other guys too....... Hmmmm >>

That is really true. It wasn't like they were goin to keep commenting on it. She really needs to take light of situations like that. In most office setting they say the only way to compliment a female is by suggestions of weigh loss. Otherwise it is deemed sexual harassment.  She can't punish or scorn those trying to help. Sounds to me as if she has more problems than just her weight. A good manager should know how to seperate herself from that which is buisness, and personal issues.  If she doesn't want people to notice than she shouldn't have lost the weight, LOL j/k

Some people like it an some people don't. One girl may think,"If they notice my weight loss than maybe I was really fat an unattractive, oh I can't believe it". She may still be in the "sensitive about her wieght" frame of mind.  It takes awhile to get used to the change an feel confident.

 

However, some girls...like me...love it when someone notices my weight loss. It makes me feel hotter an more attractive. For me an others, it is empowering.

If you got it flaunt it. I am no beauty queen or nothin', but I ain't gonna hate on those who go all out to look sexy one day a year. An that is all it is. One day a year when a girl is allowed to go out of the ordinary. Honestly it is a little empowering. I am proud of my body so I don't have to hide it. I give props to those girls. Would I personally show off my mid riff or something?? No, but I have great legs, and breasts. If you gots it flaunts it ;). An no, I don't do it for attension. It is about having fun. Not gettnig F***ed. I wouldn't take it too seriously.

Fruits an Veggies are really healthy, and anyone that eats them need a round of applause. I barely get any of that stuff. An I if I did I would count them either. ^^ An eating under 1200 is not very healthy for you, but as that girl said, your veggies an fruits probably make up for it. ^^

Of course I have a life, LOL. I am a single mom with a great job working with diamonds, I have a great boyfriend, and I go out an do things all the time.

Just because I have a great life filled with friends an other things doesn't mean that I like what I see in the mirror. an it sure as hell doesn't mean I am not going to be curious about my wieght. It is something I have been dealing with before my so called glory years.

Some people have the urge to throw up or stop eating. I just have the urge to eat less / see faster results.

 

Weight Loss water drinking Oct 19 2007

Well, cranberry juice is actually more proficient for your kidney's to use. As someone who used to get a lot to UTI's water NEVER worked as well as cranberry juice.

However, water does help you lose weight, but not because it is some kind of miracle exlixer that you have to drink 2 gallons of a day.It is because it helps you digest, and it also has a component that helps suppress your appetite.

Honestly though, drinking water until you piss clear is retarded, and any Dr that has done the research can tell you that.

I am not saying water isn't good for you, I am just saying you don't need much to stay hydrated. Most of our water intake comes from the foods that we eat every day. that is were the FDA gets their numbers. Even without a bottle of water we are taking in a hefty amount of it.

Actually the info was mostly formatted from a nutritionist, and  Dr.'s

An with my own experience I actually lost most of my wieght when I was eating eggs, chicken, and other meats, and had set myself on a mostly protien diet. I am type B. So through my own "study" I find it to be very true.

Weight Loss Down 37 lbs. in 7 mos. -- Every-Other-Day-Fast modified Oct 16 2007

Well, as long as your Dr's are tracking it closely *closer than every 6 months* it should be OK. I personally lost 9-10 pound in one month just by eating right an staying active. Although, I have learned that if you restrict it too much you can leave your body vulnerable to certain conditions. As it is regulated it may not have the same effects as a diet that is not regulated, but in-case you think of taking it another step consider this article. http://www.agale.com.au/FAST.htm

Congratulations on the wieght lose. :)

Personally I do not like them nor would I ever recommend them. It may be different for some people, but it is hard for me to control my cravings. It wasn't about calories...it was about not starving to lose wieght.

 I tried this product an really tried to dive into it. Even got on their site. I didn't last though. I found myself hungry an the chalk taste did not satisfy. In fact I was always hungry. An I would then go on binges because of the hunger.

 An the cost? Following the regular diet they had cost me a bundle. I couldn't imagine making that a life style. Especially because of the cost.

Now I just keep in mind never to drink my calories. It might be right for some people, but the cost, taste, and hunger was not worth going through it for me. Espeacially when I could just as easliy have a regular fruit shake for the same cals.

 

Just try it for a week or two an I am sure you can descide. Just don't go spending a billion dollars an expecting it to be a miracle drink.

Weight Loss Office candy attack! Advice needed Oct 16 2007

I work in an office w/ a candy bowl on my desk  XD an it is the hardest thing to do, not eating it. However, I find that if I take one of the slow melting mints it curbs the urge. then I dive into work an forget about them. It is not until my next break that I think about them. The star peppermints are kinda low in cals. An I allow myself a limit of 3 a day. Maybe that would work for you. Have one for your morning, lunch, and afternoon snack. Savor it, and keep your mind off grabbing another by diving into your work^^ Hope that helps.

If you want to stay in shape, eat what feels right. I am sure you probably won't reach 3500 cals. I get full around 2000 to be honest. If you are going to be active take some healthy snacks for you. An if you really want to lose wieght go with the majority of your sites. an just cut back some if you are stuffing yourself.
