I gained 6 of it back ): I love to cook and I love to eat and I love to feed people and eat while they eat. This is going to be hard...sigh.
My doctor told me to lose 20 pounds---I said I wanted a second opinion and he said "OK--you're ugly too".Kack-smoker.
NO, the BMI index says I need to lose 10-30 pounds, so i am def not bitching about nothing. I am a little complimented about how well I seem to hide it though. It will be nice to not shop for only long jeans I can wear heels with and anything v-neck. I try really hard to make it look like I'm not overweight.
you are taking it really well... a lot of ppl get all depressed and start eating more when theyre told they need to lose weight. good attitude, im sure youll do fine.
Thanks That's sweet I have a lot of shitty qualities about me, but the one good quality I do have is that I usually change something instead of just bitching about it endlessly.
What kind of a sexist bitch of a doctor do you have? Blaming Andy's weight on you...like she expects you to do all the cooking all the time? That's stupid. I know he knows how to cook and sometimes cooks as well, so his weight is not entirely YOUR fault. Ugh, that annoys me, because our family doctor used to chew my mom out over my dad's weight, like my mom controlled everything that went in his mouth and kept him sitting in front of the tv instead of taking walks. Grrr. If she has a problem with your husband's weight, she needs to let him know, not give you shit over it.
That's pretty much how the Navy is. The wives are really seen just as mommies. Most of the wives don't work outside the home and have nothing going outside of World of Warcraft and their husbands. It's frustrating because I work part-time and have an at home buisness. I don't have time to be a mommy to a 35-year-old man nor would I want to. I told Andy I can't make cookies tonight, really need to lose weight and he's bummed abotu the no making cookies. I told him he needs to support me even if he is happy with the way I look. Hopefully he'll stick to that and help me. I helped him.
I get really touchy about weight issues because Daniel's insanely underweight and I feel like people look at me like I'm the bad guy when I don't control when he eats or how much he eats, or what he eats. He's 26 years old, he's old enough to decide when to eat, and if he's toothpick thin as a result of his decisions, that's not my problem. It's insanely annoying, though. It seems for some it's just as hard to gain weight as it is for others to lose.
Yeah, I can't do everything. When we can afford to live the lifestyle Andy likes without me working at all, then I will be responsible for making dinner every night. But that's not the way it is and I am not going to set myself up only to be resentful, so sometimes I have to say 'no'.
Not me, I don't eat red meat. I could go for a donut and a latte though. I didn't have my reduced fat donut this morning. I had a leftover tofu roll instead. It pretty much sucked compared to the donut.
anyone know of any low-cal semi-high nutrient foods? Easy to make? I hate cooking healthy food because I don't get the 'ooohs and ahhhs', so anything microwavable would be preferred.
Mircowaves and nutrients contradict one another. Microwaves literally zap any nutrients out of food. Get rid of the microwave.
You know what?, it does and anyone who says it doesn't and calls themselves 'curvy' is full of shit. But yeah, having been thin most of my life, being fat does suck.
Fuck. I lost a lot of weight and did really well when I ate all raw food (didn't do it to lose weight). But I only did it for 4 months and then went back to cooked. I stuck to it becuase it was all convienent. But when I went back to normal eating once in awhile, I gained it all back. So, that's a no go. Alright, I guess I am going to have to set some time aside and look through our cookbooks for low-fat recipes that might possibley be good.
