I think you burn about 20 calories in an hour of chewing- that is an estimate I've heard among others.

Regardless, I always just assume I've chewed off the calories and even if I didn't, it most definitely keeps me from eating something high cal I shouldn't be..

I have recently become obsessed with his show. Oh yeah, and I totally have a crush on him too. I can't quite comprehend why I am so extremely into him, but I am. Weird, yes. Maybe?

His character on the show reminds me a bit of Mike Scott (Steve Carrell) from The Office. Do you know what I'm talking about? He does the whole "I'm God's gift to the world" thing....haha.

Oh m-m-m-y goodness- pinkberry!! I eat it anytime I'm in NYC. They have so many toppings to choose from like my favorite mango. Also pomegranate seeds, coconut, any berries... They have a regular yogurt and a green tea (which tastes sort of funky in my opinion) and supposedly are getting another as well... I personally find the price fitting for such a delicious treat. I don't think I paid 5 bucks though...

I've seen that 101 Cookbooks recipe before- I love her blog. David Lebovitz has a lot of similar recipes as well (ice cream too). You should totally check out his blog. He has a cookbook (The Perfect Scoop) if you're really interested- not that it'd be helpful for dieting.

And this recipe from Vegan Visitor similarly sounds delicious.

Wow. This is such a surprising post honestly. Every single comment essentially describes me perfectly. No matter the degree of "down-ness" I am feeling, I will personally sabotage diet. It has gotten so bad that I cannot even keep food in the vicinity or else I will find a reason to make it ok to eat it. It really is so awful and the food I reach for is food I would not normally eat really.

Like you lucyluck, I too have recently gotten really bad and have gained about ten pounds from eating entire packs of cookie dough or boxes of cereal. I have the "finish the package" complex going on in my head and obviously it is not working out for me. While I am stil a perfectly acceptable weight for my height as well, it is definitely not going to last until I get myself in check.

I like that mns.

Mine is "Why be fat if you don't have to." Its very basic but it works for me at least.

Oh my goodness yes. Love my DC and vodka.

  Unfortunately I recently gave up diet sodas and artificial sweeteners, so now I am learning how to take my shots straight...all the time...from the beginning of the night. I really need to invest in some club soda or figure out a legit drink option.

 I am so whack- I whip out my little zebra flask at bars/ frats. I am so that girl in the corner of the room.

I agree though. I feel like this is our only chance to experience college. Its not going to happen again. Is alcohol necessary?? Absolutely not. But does it make parties, etc so much better.

YES.

We do all have our own problems.. its the way of the world. Your mother will come around in time. It is a lot to take in- especially if she does have something to deal with that is difficult herself. Give her time and you two will then work together to find someone else to help you or wait the three or so weeks.

You have lasted this long on your own, you know you are strong enough. Have faith in yourself. Even alone, you obviously know you need help so you have already taken the biggest step. Seek out someone else for help. From experience, no its not easy, but you can do it.

true. all the time.
