I don't see why people would care as long as you don't complain loudly about how easy it is for you, blah blah.

Want to solve the obesity problem? Make gyms friendlier to fat people. I love to dance, play soccer, field hockey, do yoga. But I am always the only fat girl. It would help if instructors showed modified options to really high impact moves like jumping jacks. I never see it.

yeah, it didn't really come off as funny. He spent the whole night watching what he wanted, and ignoring what you said. That's different than you saying that you were on your computer while he was watching sports, but this was an activity you were doing together. You said you wanted to watch a movie and he ignored…

um. So I'm not really sure how you want us to react. I would not want to spend my time with a guy who basically ignores my wants and needs, mocks my eating habits and then wants naked cuddling.

I just want to say this was such a useful thread - no one EVER told me that PF was related to the IT band or that rolling calf muscles helped. But it makes total sense.

If you can afford them - Fluevogs. Also Allegra makes cute sandals and they're orthopedical.. if that's a word..

Let me just say that I'm the same age and single. After watching all my friends get married, I'm really not sure marriage is for me and I don't want kids so I'm in a similar situation.

It's so crazy. I'll easily have a couple meatless days, as long as I have beans or something filling, but once in a while I MUST HAVE RED MEAT.

some of us don't have that option. We have to put on our big girl pants and kill the crap out of them.

I had one of those for the first time last night too!! Also on my bedroom ceiling. I wish there was something we could spray that they didn't like - like how cats don't like citrus smells.

One of my two goals for the new year is for two of my three meals to be vegetarian. I'm pretty good about it, and I try to only have red meat once a week.

Fast forward to Bea hiding food because she knows they are bad. Cutting herself because she knows she's bad for eating those foods. Gaining tremendous amounts of weight because food is the only way to self-soothe. And then beating the crap out of yourself full time because the only valuable thing about yourself is…

Fantastic! So trying this tomorrow..

nope, no kids, no husband. So if I stroke out, I'm on my own..

The past couple weeks I've had random conversations with three people who said a friend die of a heart attack in their early 40s. It's freaking me the hell out. My dad had a quintuple bypass at age 39, so last year (at the same age) I had a full workup and I was fine, except that I need to lose 75 pounds (which is…

I'm so sorry. Do what you can to take care of yourself..

I'm trying to ask this kindly, but what is your long-term situation? I work with students and they are always talking about getting animals. And then they graduate and abandon the cat or dog because their parents don't want them or don't want to bother finding housing that takes animals. It makes me really sad.

You're alone, but you don't have to be lonely. We're here! (( hugs ))

First of all, I'm really sorry. I know how stressful this is. I ditto what others said about calling the various companies. For example, I was able to cut my cell phone, cable and internet bills simply by calling. They don't TELL you when there are specials. Same with car insurance.

OMG now I feel super cheap. My hair cut costs me $50 and takes 30-45 minutes. I tip $10 and give the hair washer $2-5 depending on if they were snotty or not. I get my hair cut like 3x a year - no highlights or color.
