From someone who has been through a year of tremendous physiological change, I agree the best thing to be is 'Zen'. I have learned that I have only some control over my body shape and it's better to be zen than drive myself nuts. Like your Mom, I started out with a 24" waist. It is now 26.5...

RE: why take a chance?. I had an IUD for 13 years and loved it. I had already given birth, however :-)

Nancy, I beg to differ. But, my problems started at age 42. It appears you have not had issues yet which I would take to be a good sign. I turned 52 this year and as each year passes I need to be more vigilant with exercise and what I put in my mouth. That's not to say I am a saint but...

I am 52. I have no sympathy for you ;)

With all due respect, I never took naps when my daughter was that young. I can't imagine leaving a 6 year old unattended. But that's just me. It may be because my 7 year old cousin set the drapes on fire when my aunt was napping. He got ahold of some matches and half the house burnt down :o

I don't weight myself. I go by my clothes and how I look in the mirror.

To answer your question, I've done all of Jari's workouts and never felt like I might not be able to finish. With Cathe, there have been times when I didn't think I was going to make it. They are both challenging but I always return to Cathe. Actually, unlike Nancy, I have been needing...

I had panic/anxiety for 20 years. Counseling paid off for me in the end. Medication wasn't something I went for. My problems stemmed from childhood issues that carried on into my adult life. Like the previous poster said, your counselor is not there to fix you but to guide you. I found...

Lorrie, You probably know Ruby Tuesday did start adding the calories to their menu's a couple of years ago. I loved it because it helped me make an informed selection. We were there the other day and the nutritional information was not on the menu anymore. We asked why they took it off...

You know, Robin, I'm thinking that's the route I am going to take. The portion size is big. I've asked about a half portion but they don't do those like some restaurants do. I did see other salads on their menu that had half the amount of calories so I may venture out of my comfort zone and...

The talk about Cracker Barrell made me look up the nutritional facts of my favorite salad at Crispers, the Turkey Harvest Cobb. I almost fainted...over 800 calories WITHOUT the dressing. I knew it was a little bad so I always got it without the Blue Cheese but that probably only saved me a...

"I'm shocked by women who don't seem to mind pornography. I can only guess that you don't mind being degraded or thought of as merely an object for sexual gratification." This is the comment I think is judgmental and insulting. It would be like saying to the ones that do mind porn...

Diane, In our family, I'm a little more uninhibited than DH. At 48, he still blushes when I pull him towards the bedroom in the middle of the afternoon. How cute is that?! I'm working on him, though :D

diane57, I applaud how uninhibited you and your DH are about sex. I think it's wonderful :D Good for you!

db5, DH and I eat lunch together and he asked me, "What's up on Cathe today?", so I discussed this with him. Keep in mind he is a licensed mental health counselor in the State of Florida although he is not currently practicing. He said that regarding my theory that there may be an...

Michele, It's not that I don't mind porn, it's that I am a realist and know that it exists. I also think it has therapeutic value in the right setting. Your comments are judgmental and insulting. I thought we were trying to get away from that behavior here on Cathe's site. Just wanted...

The reason I think it may be the beginnings of an addiction is because: 1) he is viewing the porn behind her back in a sneaky manner 2) knowing full well she would probably find out 3) money is tight, knowing this, decided to spend money on the porn movies anyway This is behavior...

I love breakfast at Cracker Barrel but I'm not as good as the rest of you. I order the pecan stuffed pancackes, two of them, with SUGAR FREE syrup and then a side order of two scrabbled eggs. I figure this is kind of middle of the road. The days I do this, I skip lunch cause I know the...

I see a trust and possibly an addiction issue here. A man viewing porn is not that significant and typically has nothing to do with the way their partner looks. I think your marriage is suffering from something less superficial than your DH viewing porn. Knowing that money is tight and...

Everything that was said and also DENIAL!!! And I don't mean the river in Egypt }( I'm mentoring a co-worker through a divorce situation right now and I see in her all the things I went through but refused to see. Most times it's right in front of our noses but FEAR is a great unmotivator!
