LOL, you do that! Seriously, I do not believe in giving up food. If I like it, I''m going to eat it. I might have to eat smaller portions, but if I want it, I''m going to eat it. Cutting out carbs would hurt my soul!

You''re going to have to tell me what needs to get cut out, because I just plain don''t believe it!

I do hate when you''re trying to keep your mind off of something and then somebody just haaaas to say something.

It''s like, yeah, thanks for reminding me, I totally haven''t been thinking about that for the past 3 months!

Well for me, i try to cut out breads, and pastas and candy and anything that is a refined sugar. I dont drink any sodas and have natural juices.....sometimes it sucks, but its okay......i suppose...

.....no it really is, if i eat bad, my body goes all crazy and i feel like crap



Hahaha, SERIOUSLY!!Espically for LIW!!! Its like now im gonna start obessing over it!

 

[princesss]

Man, I would not be able to cut that stuff out. I''m a crabby miss without sugar. I don''t drink anything but milk and water (I did cut out soda at my dentist''s insistence), but if I don''t get something sweet each day I get

. It''s all just been learning how to control what and how much I eat.

And yeah, I get anxious about a few things, but mostly it''s when BF and I have been separated and I''m about to see him. "Oh, you must be so excited!" Well, yeah. But I was getting work done, and now I''m off in la-la land daydreaming about it, thanks.

I''m with you Princesss! I don''t eat/drink high fructose corn syrup, but for the most part I am a firm believer in giving my body what it wants. We eat a lot of bread/pasta/rice in this house and really, we''re pretty darn healthy. It''s just a matter of eating in moderation.

O dont get me wrong, were healthy here....but ive notice i feel better with less refined sugar in my diet....personally....hey Lady, how is the wedding planning comming along?

 

[princesss]

So, I''m feeling stuck.

BF and I are not happy here in our city. There are no jobs available in our city. We don''t have too many friends in our city. We are generally frustrated with life.

There are many jobs available in one of our top cities of choice. We could move relatively easily and be close to his family and many of our friends. I just saw a listing for a job that would be a great fit for me at considerably more than I am making now. It seems like it should be an easy choice, right?

HOWEVER, I am currently living in and taking care of a house my parents bought. In part they bought it because I had said I was going to live here for a while, and I could take care of it. We just closed in April. I''ve only been at my job a little over a year, but I want out of my job and out of the industry. I do have job stability. BF is a waiter, and would much rather be employed doing something useful...or even just something with health insurance.

What would you do? I''m torn between talking to my parents and trying to apply for things, and just toughing it out here without saying anything. I really have no idea what to do, all I know is we''re both unhappy here and if we could get jobs in this new city we''d be a lot happier. But I really don''t want to screw my parents over, you know?

 

[Jessie702]

hmmmm this is diffcult princess, on one side you want to be responsible to the commiments you have made, but than on one side you want something better. I would say talk to you parent and see about renting the house out, if you get the other job. That way the payment is being made and not comming out of your parents pocket. Maybe charge a little over what is needed for maintence and as security, just in case something should happen.

 

[princesss]

Well, I am talking to my mom right now, and she says, "We free you of your house prison. Be free little bird!" (Love you, Mama!)

So I think that clears up my mind a little bit. I think I want to tough it out a few more months and get my finances in order, but I am feeling much better about this...

 

[Jessie702]

O good, i am so happy for you, like i said, maybe rent it out, ya never know if you want to keep it and have a house or two, l;ike my bf......

Glad your mom was supportive! I figured she would be. Moms are cool like that.

Yeah. I just get stressed out when I feel like I''m letting them down and/or breaking a commitment, so it''s nice to kind of have the freedom to look around and see what''s out there.

 

[princesss]

Ack. I''m having crazy PMS cravings right now. Enough so that I''m thinking I should just run to Rite-Aid instead of eating lunch and get the foods I''m craving because it''s cheaper and easier. Seriously. It''s like the PMS monster is running rampant through my body and I have no control over it. Normally I''m only like this one day every two months, but this is nuts. I can feel it running through my veins!!!!!

HAhaa, somebody told me one time I should only eat brown rice. I know it''s healthier, but seriously...I grew up in Southeast Asia. I won''t give my Jasmine rice up for ANYTHING!

 

[sunnyd]

Princesss that''s great your mom is "letting you go". (<-- just for you

) Sounds like a good opportunity to leave!


My current fear: We''re currently renting a place from an owner who couldn''t sell. We''ve been here almost 2 years; our lease is up on Halloween...1 week before the wedding. Not good planning I guess, haha! Around this time last year is when they asked us to stay another year. We''re cool staying here because we''re not ready to buy, but if they plan to sell, yikes!! How could we move a few weeks before? All of our cash is being used for the wedding, so a first/last/deposit would not be feasible. Oy.

No way! Brown rice should not be allowed with Asian food. It can''t even touch it.

 

[ckrickett]

What... I love brown rice! Not as much as white but still

 

[Jessie702]

Jasmine Rice is good, my best friend is Thai and Kenyan.....so i know all about the Jasmine rice, Spicy Beef salad and Kobei Ribs.....mmmmmmm

BUT i do like brown rice too.....its not too bad with a little soysauce....but thats my solution to being able to eat everything......soysauce and ranch! I put soysauce on my rice,noodles,in soup, certain meats.....but ranch is for everything else. My BF thinks its sickening how much i love it for fries, if i have them,meats,salad,chicken.....pretty much everything! LoL...He will order my meal and forget the ranch and i ggive him the "what the hell about my face"look and than he makes sure they bring me a side of it.....lol.....

O BTW MORNING LADIES

 

[sunnyd]

I can''t do soy sauce. Too salty for me! Even the low sodium is sodium filled. FI did get me started with ranch with pizza. I still don''t understand it, but it''s good.

WHAT!? ladies ladies... I think I have issues with sodium, I cant get enough of it.

 

[Jessie702]

OMG....Ranch with Pizza is the BEST! its like the ranch bring out the flavor of the pizza but than adds a nice twist to it. Seriously though, ranch adds a new twist to every meal....okay, thats so lame, it sounds like a commercial.

SoySauce IS salty, but still pretty tasty. You sound like my BF he cant take anything thats too satly, or too sweet or too spicy. He has really senstive taste buds, so i cant get very creative with flavors.

 

[Miscka]

ohhhhhh rice. How I love it. I love brown, jasmine, or saffron. White, not so much.

Sunny I love ranch and pizza. yummmmmmmmmm. There is a place here that will deliver until like 4am (read: post bar hopping food) and their cheese sticks with ranch sauce are a local legend. So good.

You guys are making me hungry.

Elle, are you around? I have a dress q for ya if so...

Princesss, woot! Where are you looking? You live in my all-time fave state, I must say. Sorry you don''t love it. We are thinking of a huge move in the spring as well. It is scary as heck but exciting!

Ckrickett...will you eat salty stuff with sweet stuff? I love sodium that way!

Hahaha I do like salt! But something about the taste is just not good unless I''m period-ing.

I should start drinking it! My doctor keeps telling me to increase salt for my low blood pressure.

 

[Miscka]

I should add that I hate Ranch in any other context...on a salad, as a dip

, just with pizza!
