Original Post by elle909:
According to this article, if you are going to the toilet more than once every 2 hours, and your urine is colourless, then you are drinking too much water...so i've come to the conclusion that I am drinking too much!
God if thats the case then I am drinking too much - I work at a desk, and sometimes I have to go 2 times in ONE hour lol. Ugh.
And to whoever just posted that you aren't supposed to drink while eating - there is so much conflicting infomation. Why, then, is it recommended that to help combat overeating you take a sip of water in between bites? Idk. I throughly enjoy drinking water while I eat, need to actually. |

So here's my solution: Lets legalize nudity in public and marijuana while we're at it. Then, when the Rapture happens, all the die-hard Chistians can go on up to thier boring little heaven and listen to Lawrence Welk and drink Earl Grey tea and remain sexually-repressed, getting-off on feeling 'naughty.' Then the rest of us can just get on with the business of being human.
LOL I love it . All of it.
Because its pretty much the way I feel.
Also, I think it was you lorik who made the reference about Canada being more liberal than the USA - and I think you are absolutly correct. Being a Canadian who ends up in the US multiple times per year, I see it first hand. A great example (though unrelated to the discussion topic) is marijuana usage. I'm not going to lie - I partake in said usage on a regular basis. It curbs my anxiety. It also makes me binge - but the anxiety is a far greater evil then the binging (I just don't buy junk food anymore when I buy groceries for that very reason). I live in BC, where marijuana use is even more liberal than the rest of Canada. Hell, we have a cafe in downtown Vancouver called the Amsterdam cafe - where you can not only buy pipes, bongs, endless rolling papers, vaporizers, etc., but you can roll and smoke your pot right there in the cafe, while you eat your sandwich. Yes, police/law enforcement know about it, however they are far more involved with the herion/crack/cocaine usage just a few blocks away, and generally leave the stoners alone :P I think nothing of walking down the street downtown and smoking one with my boyfriend, because chances are there is somene within a block of you doing the same. And this is the nice part of town. Then again, its extremely common to see two attractive, well-dressed men holding hands walking down the same street, and not one person even giving them a second glance.
With regards to the OP again, I agree that being lied to is not acceptable. My boyfriend knows where I stand on the topic (not even white lies are acceptable - I am brutally honest and couldn't lie to save my life, so I expect to be treated that way). However, I do think your husband shuld be allowed his own freedom of choice. Blocking his internet usage is, like others and myself have already said, something you do to a child. Not your partner.
If he can't respect your wishes, or you can't respect his, then there is clearly more dysfunction than you let on. |

What is your FAVORITE sushi? |

Love the rainbow roll, order it everytime - though I order it with half the rice (something I think Eva Mendes does, read it in Cosmo a couple years ago - cuts the carbs/calories from the rice in half obviously xD). Red snapper is my fav sashimi/nigiri, though I love salmon and most of the rest of them too.
I also always order a sunomono salad (those clear noodles in rice wine vinegar - so tasty and refreshing).
Beyond that it depends who i am with. I LOVE yam tempura, and gyoza. Only get those if I am with my boyfriend though, since he *must* have something fried lol.
Usually I order another roll of some sort if I am with somene else (so many delicious options!), or if I am alone sometimes just the sunomono and the rainbow roll. "
I love edamame as well.
I just love sushi in general.
God now I m REALLY craving sushi, thanks a lot lol |

Being a doctor who has a bank account, and a model body after 3 kids does not mean that you are not insecure. JMHO. |

"Its not unrealistic body images...its simply what some people are like"
So you think there is an elemnt of truth to the images you see in porn? That thats what some people are like in the bedroom? Interesting.
I'm not going to lie - I have learned a lot from porn. I know what my boyfriend likes when he watches it, we have watched a fair amount together, and if he sees someone do something while we're watching (or even by himself), he will tell me and we can try it out together. It keeps our sex life interesting for sure. We have also discovered a few new really great positions and other 'techniques' we both like, once again via porn.
Definitely an element of truth to some of it. I would hate to be our landlord.
Seems there are at least a few liberal-types on this site, which is good to see.
Vievien - the age thing - I am not so sure what way to consider that in my mind in relation to him watching porn. The way I can sort of see it, is that he more than likely is not thinking of other women while he is being intimate with you. Hell my boyfriend is not shy and very honest with me, and tells me often even when watching porn on his own he is thinking about me instead. Particularly given your age gap, I would think your husband probably does the same - any older guy with a younger woman generally 'can't believe his luck'. My boyfriend is 34, I am turning 21. Women that are around the same age as him always try and tell him that I'm "too you for him" (he is such a charmer - no joke he could have pretty well any woman he wanted - if you met him, you would understand. I feel lucky to have him, he's amazing). He always politely tells them that they shouldn't judge me before they know me. Meanwhile, all of his male friends think he's the luckiest bastard they've ever met haha. Sorry, small tangent. But you get what I'm saying? Likely he is not thinking of the pornstars when he is with you. Because if he would rather be with another woman, he would be. |

I agree with you nomoreexcuses. My boyfriend and I have a great relationship for that very reason - he doesn't try to control me and I don't try to control him. It makes it very easy for both of us to be honest with eachother. We do, of course, know what the boundaries are, but being restricted does not make for happy, long-lasting, honest relationships.
Vievien, would you like it if your husband decided he didn't like something you were doing, and prohibited you from doing it, particularly if its something harmless?
Once again I refer to my original post. Men get bored easily. And by locking your husband out from porn sites it makes him feel disrespected, guaranteed. You are treating him like you would a child. All you are going to do is force him to spend your hard-earned money on other outlets, whether it be magazines, DVDs, renting movies over the cable/satelite box, going to the strippers, or worse.
At least you can find free internet porn pretty easily.
That, and what about the days/nights you are not "in the mood"? Should that mean he has to deprive himself because you;re not interested?
Idk, I just like things to be smooth in my relationship. It is so much easier if you can be acceptant of your partner. |

Belly Button Jewelry |

Personally, I avoid Ardene's, or any other store that does not specialize in carrying body jewelry. The stuff they carry at Ardene's is VERY LOW QUALITY. I have over 30 different ones for my belly button, and each and every one of them has been bought from either a piercing/tattoo studio or one of the speciality body jewelry stores/kiosks (body mods, culture craze - 2 we have here in BC). They range in price from about $25-$60+, but at least I know what they're made of, and that they have been properly sterilized.
You get what you pay for. |

I'm with Jules. Men really are visual creatures. They also have a tendency of getting 'bored' with the same thing all the time. Think of it this way - at least he is watching porn on the computer/TV instead of going out and cheating on you. In his head he is still getting some variety, but not compromising the integrity of his relationship with you.
My boyfriend owns a number of porn DVDs, as well we have an open satellite so we have about 40 diff porn channels (i know, i know). Quite frequently I will turn on either the tv of the dvd player and porn will be on. But it doesn't bug me, because like I said, I am just happy he is at home 'taking care of business' (nice wording Jules haha) instead of out at a bar somewhere trying to hook up with some other chick. I have watched with him on occassion as well.
he is not shy about the fact that he watches, and I know if I did care/make a big deal about it, that he would tell me I was being ridiculous. And I think he would be right.
I used to have a problem with one of my exboyfriends watching porn, until I considered the other alternatives and realized its no big deal. I would rather he sit at home and watch a dvd then go out to the strip bar and stuff money into a stripper's g-string. |

Original Post by makenasmom:
I never really thought about it before, but I prefer the lowfat or light versions of most dairy things, like light cheese, skim milk, low fat frozen yogurt, FF sour cream, light cream cheese, even light mayo, I can't stomach the richness of the original. These foods in their full fatty goodness, actually give me a tummy ache and always have. I can drink 2 litres of skim milk and thoroughly enjoy it, but one glass of 2% and I'm doubled over in pain... So I have been buying the "light" version of all those things long before I started "dieting" I also prefer the taste of diet pop, regular makes my teeth ache it's so sweet, but for the 4-5 glasses I drink a month, I'm not too concerned.
But there are definetely foods that have to be real! Pretty much anything non dairy, lol
I am exactly the same! Full fat dairy makes me feel very ill. Whipping cream does it to me as well. I can handle rich ice cream though... |

I know this sounds counter productive, but I think you should increase your calorie intake. Time and again on this site people have posted the same/similar things as you. And basically they put their bodies into 'starvation mode' by eating far less calories than they need. I will allow someone else to explain the science behind my suggestion, since I have a broken hand and its a real pain to type with one hand ;) |

I have not tried the actual slimfast plan, though I love having a box of the meal bars in my car, desk, purse... It helps to have something that tastes alright at my fingertips all the time. Especially having it in the car - nothing worse than cruising the fast food district on an empty stomach ("I have 2 minutes to spare to go through the drive thru...").
JMO anyway. They seem to make a relatively balanced snack/meal. |

Why doesn't someone just go look on their official site?
Pretty sure there are laws that state that a restaurant can't post false nutritional information. I looked up the meal I was planning on having at the Cheesecake factory when I was in Portland 2 weeks ago and opted to order a pizza from Pizza Hut instead, because I figured out that I could eat the ENTIRE pizza for the same calories as the pasta dish and a piece of cheesecake that I was planning on having. And I only ate 2/8 pieces of the pizza when it fially got there lol.
That law varies from state to state and even city by city. Most states and cities do not require that restaurants post nutritional information and the Cheesecake Factory is notoriously close to the vest about its info, likely because it really is atrocious.
However, there's another post up now that links to Washington state's CF info.
Thanks for the clarification. I am Canadian so I don't know how all of the laws work down there. Though I did notice that the calorie amounts were listed on a lot of fast food menus, including the stabucks drink menu... I thought that was super cool as we don't have that here. I would love (and most of you too I'm sure) if it was mandatory for restaurants of all kinds put the calorie count, fat, carbs, protein values of each dish. it only takes one small print line underneath (or even beside) the title of the dish. In a perfect world... |

what can i do so that my inner thighs don't touching!? |

I am definitely not here to critisize, or even offer much of a suggestion. However, Just wanted to comment on the goal of reaching a certain size at a store. I fit into a variety of sizes at different stores, and a big factor is 'cut'. Haileyy, I see your goal of not wanting your thighs to touch. That one may or may not be possible, like many have said it has a lot to do with genetics (in HS I had a girlfriend who was absolutly obsessed with her thighs - did endless spot training and never did succeed at what she was trying to get to).
Trying to reach a size 0 may or may not be a good goal for you, depending on your motivation, and your commitment.
For the record, I own a pair of jeans from hollister in a size 0. And a pair of size 2's. As well as 2 pairs from Abercrombie in a 0. I also own a couple of pairs of size 2 abercrombie jeans, and a couple of size 4's from there too. And guess what? All of those jeans (except one of the size 4's which are now too big), fit EXACTLY the same on my body. They are all different cuts, and all of them were purchased within the last 2 years. So trying to reach a goal of being a size 0 may be somewhat of a false achievement if the number is all you are after. When I go into hollister or abercrombie (or even if I am at guess or true religion) I grab a range of sizes in each pair of jeans I like because I never know how a certain model of the jeans are going to fit on my body. I don't worry about what the number is on the pants, I just want them to look good on me.
I have a bit of a shopping problem, in case you hadn't noticed. I own about 14 pairs of jeans (no joke) that I wear regularly, plus a whole host of older ones that I wear when I ride. Plus dress pants (for work)... I take up 2 closets in my house plus a whole wardrobe at my boyfriends house. I know, I know. lol. You know whats worse? My horses have almost as much different clothing as I do (blankets galore, saddle pads, etc.) XD
But the bottom line is - in whatever I buy, I just pick the item that looks good on my body, regardless of what the size says. I even have a couple of pairs of dress pants in a size 6 and a size 8. And guess what? They fit the same as the size 0 hollisters lol. |
