I realized that I need to give up one of my favorite vices in order to help me lose some weight. Dirty martinis with blue cheese stuffed olives. I only allow myself a couple a week and I don't drink any other alcoholic beverages but apparently all that cheese and salt is adding up.

I'm a healthy 32 year old woman. Or what used to be healthy. Average weight, ate healthy, exercised moderately, didn't smoke or do drugs. My health all came crashing down a month ago. I'm now on oxygen. What used to be something so simple such as walking around a grocery store has now become a difficult task. I'm left breathless, as if a 20 pound weight is on my chest. Nobody can tell me whether or not I will fully regain all of my lung capacity or if I'm going to have to be on oxygen long term or forever. I have no idea when I'm going to be able to return to work. I feel like I took my health for granted. I guess I never thought something like this would happen to me. It sucks that doing something that is so easy for others leaves me breathless. I'm trying not to feel sorry for myself but I do. I feel angry, feel like screaming at God why me and what is I did to deserve this?

It was nice seeing 39 faves on someone's a confession. Especially since it was a positive confession. Congrats on being able walk for 30 mins even if you are overweight. Keep going and don't let anyone knock you down :)

Your house is a wreck, your kids are filthy animals, you haven't lost any of the baby weight, you sleep until noon and eat McDonald's and Taco Bell daily. But hey your Pinterest account says you're perfect so it must be true.

True Dad sounded like many of the gripes I over head from men IRL.. Wife complains he isn't making enough money. He's gained too much weight but she can eat a whole pint of ice cream every week even though she gained a lot of weight and won't shut up about it or exercise. Get into an argument, he tries to walk away and she follows and keeps screaming like a nut case. She wants to go to a male strip club but he isn't allowed to go to one himself. Having kids sucks. Can't wait to leave. Wants to drive away and never come back. Only wants sex when she's got baby fever. It was not much different than TMC only with differing genders. Women were "in tears" reading that stuff (yet I'm sure men loved reading how the women on TMC wanted to kick many in the nuts or punch them in the face) so it was nice seeing the double standard get put out in the open.

So Giuliana Rancic doesn't think she's too thin. Um, okay then--that makes me a regular whale. I don't understand why a doctor would even try to do IVF on a woman that thin. It just doesn't seem very responsible to me. I don't see why they wouldn't ask her to just gain 10 lbs and do it when she is at a healthier weight.

Well sure, friend, you'll lose weight if all you drinks are shakes for 8 weeks. But you'll also gain it all right back. When will you believe there's no miracle quick fix for weight loss?

I had a roomie in college whose parents would be upset if she hadn't lost weight every time they came to visit. She was a swimmer with powerful legs, and wasn't in the least bit overweight. Her Mom would bring Slimfast and lecture her about "getting fat". Well, my roomie did lose weight and her Mom was ecstatic. She became a size 00, and was diagnosed with lupus. She's doing well enough today, but she hasn't had the power to swim since.

Going home for another visit. This time I didn't lose weight. It sucks to know that my family may not love me because I didn't lose weight.

I have to lose weight, mainly for health reasons, but also to be more active with my boys. They have so much energy and I feel awful that I'm so tired all the time. My dilemma is that while I can do very well during the day sticking to my plan, I completely EFF it up at night! :( I'll eat anything I can get my hot little hands on! it is so frustrating! *sigh* all my hard work for the day is totally undone in just an hour...you would think I could just not freaking eat, but I have no will power. :( fml...
