Thank you! It took literally years of slow progress (and reverse progress with pregnancy) to get where I am! Luckily THAT setback can't happen again. ;-)

No, no. DH was nice enough to take on the prevention. Dr. Said his method does. not. fail. Hopefully it's true! Love my kiddos, but two is a perfect number for me.

Let's just hope you don't end up as one of those "OMG I'm 5o an pregnant" woman whose hubbies pipes manage to fix themselves.

Yeahbut... if she did, then she'd be able to get her own "reality" series on Fox!

Why are you on a diet?

Stupid Candida!
No wheat, no yeast, no milk, no sugar, no fruit, no meat (actually meat and some of milk products is allowed but I personally can't have milk and I don't eat meat) ... nothing!
So... it's tough to balance a meal. It's the seven't day and I already lost some weight.

Tomatoes are my FAAAVORITE. (and cucumber tomato salad) Ive never had a European tomato, I now feel like my life is incomplete. Ill send you a picture, if you send me a tomato from Europe. ;-)
.....Now, I'm waiting for my tomato..........

A few years ago when I was practising food photography tomatoes were my favorite subject, because they're demanding subjects. Too bad I deleted every picture I had.... Yup ... fool...

No tomatoes now here, but I'll send you a few sorts when it's their season

For you Maria; I will spare you my high school photos, and jump to a standard before and after.

That's simply an amazing achievement!
You should be proud of yourself... and I know you are!

and this is even worse! I don't care if I'm 50 and pregnant with twin hippos, I would NEVER EVER have my life turned into such smut! There isn't any tv more pointless, and poisonous than reality TV.

That doesn't sound like a diet, it sounds more like creative torture! Is this a long term tragedy? Or more hopefully, temporary.

-thank you! As usual, I have a few more lbs to go, but I'm in no big hurry. ;-)

hmm ... thought this was a thread about coffee.

I see dieting and non-creation things ...

was going to ask .. when did Starbucks start making coffee again ?
I thought they stopped that a long time ago when they made syrup based, high calorie hot drinks instead.

I thought when things were posted in "off topic" the thread was SUPPOSED to be detailed OFF (the chosen) Topic :heasdscratch:

My basic attitude toward this stuff is... it's about "healthy" and not about a specific look or body shape. I have the same body shape as I did 40 years ago, same height, weight, and general body distribution. My wife has a "pear" shape, but in terms of her health and biochemistry, everything is good. One of my daughters is tall and lean. Another has "big bones" but is healthy and in excellent shape. Another is "womanly" but also in great health and shape. Food-wise, we all stay away from junk calories and focus on mostly vegetables and fruits with some lean meat from time to time. All of us exercise to a lesser or greater degree. And yet, each of my female relatives expresses some dissatisfaction with their "shape". I do get why, but I hate the brainwashing that they have absorbed from the media and society. All this to say if you are healthy, and your shape/size does not prevent you from doing any activity you want, then your "shape" is fine. We as a society are too obsessed by superficial appearance, as the expense of deeper and more important qualities.

Ok. Rant over. Carry on.

It's unhealthy to keep rants inside!

It bothers me too that so many women obsess over trying to fit into an increasingly impossible standard of beauty (thank you, Photoshop).

But what ALSO bothers me are the massive marketing efforts directed at helping us feel beautiful no matter what our shape is, because these efforts are STILL trying to get us to believe that our self-esteem and confidence should be derived from our perception of our own appearance. The message is still the same: your sense of self-worth stems from whether or not you believe you are beautiful. Appearance is still more important than intelligence/compassion/character/integrity/strength/[insert positive quality here].

Of course most of this marketing is just to sell products (Dove, Special K...) but I've seen this kind of "campaign" from plenty of different organizations. I'm really tired of them.

If it's important to someone to feel beautiful, then she should, no matter what she looks like. But if she doesn't give a crap, she shouldn't feel like she has to "work on her self-esteem" because maybe she already feels good about herself regardless of appearance.
