Yes sadly I am privy to your weight struggle, though you have most definitely lost more than me. I have been a size 10 since I was 17. There was one year where I was stressedorexic and couldn't eat I fit in an 8, and another where I ate 1,000 calories of vegetarian food and fit into an 8. Other than that I just fluctuate from a tighter fitting 10 to a looser fitting 10. That's all the lbs I'm losing. Maybe we are at a set point? Actually, yeah, we are. How do we change that?

IDK what to think about goals. Don't you want to be happy & healthy? Who cares if we can't parade around like Primal Barbie? I don't know about you but I am tired of dumping my anxiety into hating myself. Lets buy into the whole, "every cell responds to your thoughts" and sending happy messages. Was any of that self hatred working anyway?

I loves me some thrifting, though admittedly it was more fun before the hipsters pillaged thrift stores like a plague of locusts. Meats you can probably find some major scores in a city like Montreal. Go hit up some Salvation Armani. Become masterful at working what you've got.

Have you heard about these microneedles?

Lover,
Yeah I considered buying one of those medieval torture devices. But rumour has it they hurt like a beach (like when sand gets in your crotch and stuff). And I'm wary. I'd get them for my mangled face (acne battle scars) but I'm afraid it'll cause more damage than goodage.
You can always be my guinea-pig and report back with results! *evil scientist laugh*

Btw, I keep using those toilet fragrant concoctions and I don't know if my boobs look any better (I'd have to ask a boob expert; I know they all hang out at the bars). I'm sick of smelling like a gold fish tank and not seeing results!
I tried the x2 strengthen one for my face and I don't think it did anything. I think the scars are too deep, perhaps.

But yeah, in response to your insightful, philosophical questions: poop.

That's all I can think of.

Hey, at least you found someone who loves you and sexes you in your current form! I've got no one else but myself to love myself, if you catch my drift *eyebrow wiggle*. So. basically, I have no choice but to get my shit together.

I guess, if only we could love ourselves as much as others love us? Cause I love you unconditionally and think just your wit and sense of humour makes you hella shemxy ;]

Make friends with freecycle. Also, check out the free section on Kijiji. I have seen on plenty of occasions people getting rid of their computer part, etc, because they upgraded.

OR... I can marry a hot, rich guy and do all my shopping at Guess? Know anyone? ;]

[NoSaladWithoutMeat]

Gurl, I get this so hard.
(peacing out for ten more years, but glad to see you back around to lurk on)

Nooo! We need more riot grrrls for moral support!

There is no support on this end unless you're referring to the Spanx that's required to hold in the twenty pound weight gain I've managed over the last year :P

Slept for most of the day.

I can't do carbs. Not even the benign sweet potatoes. This sucks.

I also don't think I can digest meals that have both fats and carbs. Or rather fat and starches.

The soup made me so bloated and when I made cajun ribs (oh brother, fat dripping orgasm) and sweet potato fries, I woke up five months pregnant the next day with contractions (impregnated with digestive issues!). It could also be that the ribs were incredibly spicy and that sometimes causes my stomach to be upset (even though I ADORE spicy food) and I kept drinking water in order to keep eating the ribs.

Really, I'm like a sickly rat that needs carefully conditioned lab environment to eat. All these little factors can make me sick.
I had to take pain killers just to get through class, and I've never looked so bloated!
My stomach was protruding and I couldn't suck it in and had to wear a baggy dress ;(

So, I've devised the Steak & Chocolate diet~!
Join my revolution!!!

So far these seem to be the only things I can tolerate. Among others are berries, beef, eggs and bacon (but small amounts), and possibly pork and very few fruits like grapefruits (thanks Metsi!). But eating fruit makes me really hungry and increases cravings.
But so far it seems certain veggies cause problems (nightshades don't. At all. Love tomatoes. But broccoli, cauliflower, cabbage--these are lethal), chicken if cooked a certain way causes problems (I know. What the frigg.), nuts (if I eat more than a handful. One time I almost fainted from the pain after eating too many brazil nuts.)

So, really. Beef. That's all I can eat. I can eat beef all day, all night. Buckets of it, shoveled straight into my mouth, downing it with some melted chocolate and nothing would happen. Glorious beef. Glorious chocolate. *bows*

Did I mention I slept a lot? Cause I did.

Steak and chocolate has served me well. Dooo eeet (I've found I have issues with a crap ton of foods and it makes eating awesome-limited coconut products, all vegetable mass must be cooked, fatty poultry is out, and so on)

[Metismomma]

Steak serves me well too. I haven't really been into chocolate lately. Don't know why.
I have the same issue with the vegetables, they need to be cooked or I get stomach cramping, gas, all sorts of fun. Too much fat at once makes me feel sick.
Did I mention I haven't been taking digestive enzymes for awhile? Yeah...might be something to consider. It sucks that they cost so much for the really good ones.

GAPS is Gut and Psychology Syndrome, basically your guts are fucked up. I wrote all about it in this thread. The neuroscientist who came up w/ it states that there are very few true food allergies, and these allergies result in a histamine reaction, like a reaction one would have to a bee sting. If you are having food intolerance and digestive issues and a tendency toward depression you likely have a GAPS gut. It is Primal, but primal is not GAPS. There are just a couple differences: eat probiotics at every meal, take specific supplements, drink bone broth at every meal,yes to honey, and a few primal foods are illegal. You also need to be 100% compliant for 10 months to 2yrs depending on how long you need to heal as you are starving out advantageous bacteria and repopulating with good bacteria and healing leaky gut.

It is difficult at first but now I can't imagine eating any other way. My whole immediate family is on it and so far everyone loves it and feels really happy.
