omg I'm having something delicious but so not gluten free coconut twix! They're like girl scout samoas !
Now I did a job. I got nothing but trouble since I did it, not to mention more than a few unkind words as regard to my character so let me make this abundantly clear. I do the job. And then I get paid.

Spike's Bitches 46: Don't I get a cookie?
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.

I don't mind the TJ's gluten-free bread. It smells...of something. Not sure what. Yeast? But like it's not quite DONE. However, it tastes fine, and I have eaten it with butter and jam as toast, and it holds up well. I also like their corn crackers, but I hate rice crackers, so a lot of "gluten free crackers" are ricey and I don't like them.
Not that I've really been at all gluten free lately.
Anyone know what, besides medication, could cause random weight gain? Especially all in MAH BELLAY. Seriously, though--according to the scale at the gym last night, I've gained even MORE weight. That's a good 30 pounds since September or so. And 10 even since I've been working out 3-5 times a week. And no, that's not all muscle, my clothes don't fit super better! I'm starting to poke at my belly and go "TUMAH? AH YOU IN THERE?"

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
meara, do you track what you eat? Because when I haven't tracked my food in a while and then resume tracking, I am generally surprised at how damn much I really am eating. It doesn't seem like it should add up, and then it does.

Well, your metabolism changes as you get older. One of my friends described her thirties as "The Thickening."

Hrmph. Do not want.
Steph, I haven't been assiduously tracking, but the times I do, I'm definitely going over "diet" (1400 calories or less) but not, I think, over enough that I should be gaining weight like crazy!

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
Belly bloat is menstrual for me. *pokes* And maybe cheese. I really would weigh less if I broke up with cheese.
I think I am freaking out a wee bit more than I want to admit about getting over when the clock ticks over. Drat. I was pretty zen for the thirties too. Now I don't want it to be tomorrow cause OLDER.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
meara, belly weight gain for me is all about the white carbs. Even if I'm eating in the "diet" range (1500 calories or less) if I'm eating sugar or potatoes or bread? Belly expands, regardless of calories ingested.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
meara, if you are also tired and/or having a lot of hair loss, then you might consider getting your thyroid checked. Weight gain is a classic hypothyroid symptom.

Being 50 has been seriously kicking my ass. Just seeing that number and realizing it represent my age is painful. I have a mental image of what 50 means, and it doesn't match the inside of my head. Instead of letting that redefine what 50 means to me, my head is freaking out. I keep running the math of average life spans, realize where I stand in regards to that, and get obsessed about what my life could have been etc. etc. I'm supposed to have achieved *something* by now, but . . .

All of that, yes, Connie. How did I get to 40, why is't my life different or better or ... I don't know. Blergh. And really nothing is changed from a week ago or a year but that damn number sure feels bigger than it used to feel.
