- I Feel Good But I Barely Eat
Yeahhhh I'm so happy to hear this!!! I think I may have something wrong cause it is so hard to eat, but I do not have any voimiting.- Please Make Sure You Vote
We should be really careful about making general statement about any groups of people... No one race or person can be lumped into a group because there are hard working Americans from every race. .. I'm not sure about this free stuff? I don't think anyone would choose to be broke if they had equal opportunities as everyone else. I think no one will agree on politics, but i think it's important to stay respectful. Normally, we only speak of what we know and grew up around, but the world is just a much bigger place than that with bigger problems. And we would all do anything for our family.- Pickle Juice
I eat a pickle every week, but I would be worried about the sodium.- My Quick Stoy

What is a typical menu for your day?- Doctor Office Nightmare
- (Very Long) Hubby Double Personality Need Out!
I'm so sorry your going through all of this. Taking care of your kids is such a full time responsibility and a job all by itself. I applied for social security and it is taking a very long time. . I think you brining in a little extra income would help, but not cure the problem. It seems like he has always been a little on the controlling side and you were able to deal with it in the past. Did everything get really bad right after surgery? I think having someone lease to talk to and bounce ideas off of is very important or it will help you keep a little sanity! Your strong, beautiful and powerful. I know you make these choices for your kids and not just yourself. Do you really want to find another way out or just try to work harder on staying together? Can you make it 2 more years? Stay Strong!!!- Protien Shots?
Yeah. They ate gross and most do not have the GOOD source of protein. There is a previous thread on it.- (Very Long) Hubby Double Personality Need Out!
Hey. I'm up. To be honest, it doesn't sound like your going to leAve him for both emotional and financial reason. You've put up with him for this long and you want your kids to keep their same lifestyle. The bad part, he knows all these things as well. I'm not one of those types of women who tell other women to leave their husbands because no one knows the whole story and I can't pay your bills. Lol. I would recommend that you still get counseling because one day your kids will be older and may not need as much care and you won't have the same reasons and needs to stay. There are a few jobs online you can do from home, you just have to find something you are good at. It's never a good sign when they run all your friends and/or family away. Why do you think he has such a huge problem with you or working?? Most men would like a woman at home to cook / clean etc...- How Long Before Chicken?
I just tried a small piece of chicken thigh and it went down. I'm just so use to chicken breast. Ughh. 2 1/2 months- The Latest On The Obesity Epidemic
My sister has 3 kids and they all eat the same things. 2 are super skinny like size 0 and 1 and the other is a little fluffy . Why don't they ever say genetics?- I Feel Good But I Barely Eat
I can not hold down any freaking eggs!! It would be such a cheap lunch .- Super Excited Moment!
Yeahhhhhh great news- I Think My Pouch Is Broken:(
I'm realizing protein may have been my problem all along. . I absolutely hate it. Meat, shakes etc. ughh.- Straws!
I've never had kids. I was pushing 280 and could not imagine being pregnant on top of that. I also have tons of health problems and was taking a lot of medication that would not be healthy for a baby. I hope after I learn the correct way to eat and exercise and enjoy my new body for a while, I can have a baby at a lower weight and loose it through a healthy lifestyle.- Does Anyone Take Antidepressants?
I think mental problems ate real health conditions and therefore have to be treated medically. Just like how people think WLS is a easy way out, others think you can just force yourself to be happy. Sometimes, it can be genetics and a condition that runs in the family. I didn't know if I was overweight and then depressed or was the depression causing me to be overweight? Catch 22 right!!- Emergency Room Visit
I actually leave bottles and cups everywhere in my house and I put a 30 min reminder timer on my phone. This one is a struggle!!! Ughh - I Feel Good But I Barely Eat
