    Morbid obesity and learned helplessness

    I don't think I was conscious enough of it to have put on the weight deliberately, but I'm pretty sure it was a direct result. The original abuser/rapist had a thing for my mom and when he raped me, said, "If I can't have her, I'll take you." My mom, in her boundary-less wisdom, told me when I...

    What's your hobby?

    I read constantly - get very anxious if I don't have at least 2 backup books. Haven't finished anything in a while, but I make jewelry. Mostly bead & wire stuff, like earrings & bracelets. I also weave chainmail - bracelets, mostly. I like playing with fire, so got into making glass beads. I do...

    who has met their partner online?

    My husband is from New Zealand. We met in The Reading Room on Excite/Virtual Places in 97, he came to visit in 98 and stayed 3 months, we applied for the fiance visa and managed all that horrid red tape, married in 99 and have been revoltingly mushy gaga for each other ever since.

My mom swore she would never be fat like her mom and was blessed with good metabolism because at 74, she has never been overweight in her life (the bitch). The bulimic grandmother did the...

    Need help with vite dosage for a normie

    Since she's a normie, is it ok for her to take the softgel K2? It's cheaper than the Biotech version by quite a bit. Is the 'dry' version more bioavailable in general or just better for us altered guts people? I don't mind paying more, but if it's equally absorbable for her, no point. LOL Glad...

    Need help with vite dosage for a normie

    My mom is a normie - no malabsorption issues. She's 74 and has osteopenia - had breast cancer & radiation 10+ years ago then took Tamoxifen & Arimidex, so her bones, while not honeycombed, are not in the best shape. And a couple of her meds cause constipation, so she needs the mag ox. Standard...

I lost from 350 to 215, then had bounce-back or regain to 230ish. I float within about 5 pounds of that no matter what...
