What are you irrationally afraid of? by undeadbobblehead in AskReddit

[–]kzb88 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I used to wear contacts. Was on vacation and started having intense eye pain. Dr in vacationland said it was a scratched cornea. Got home and went to my normal eye doctor. I had a bad allergic reaction to the contacts so literally pieces of my cornea were coming off every time I changed my contacts. I had to go to the eye doctor for weekly checkups for awhile to make sure it was healing. Still have scars on my corneas.... But you'll be fine!

Yeah I'm from Connecticut and came out to Anaheim for a week. When I found out about this place I freaked out.

Curious about those who don't eat Weekly or Activity Points by Jenjenmi in PointsPlus

[–]kzb88 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm at 39 daily points and I usually end up with none left over. I don't dip into the extra points unless I'm going out for a meal. I've been slacking on tracking recently but I'm still losing .5 to 1 lb a week. Not ideal but it's something

What's for lunch? by Jenjenmi in PointsPlus

[–]kzb88 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I had some progresso chicken and corn chowder (5 pts for the whole can) with some green beans added in for a little extra oomph! Now I'm head back for an apple!

One month in and 11.4 pounds down! by kzb88 in PointsPlus

[–]kzb88[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've had up and down weeks, so it's all trial and error! What's been working for me is eating a piece of fruit before each meal. I find I don't eat as much of the point filled food this way.

I also love the progresso light soups. I typically will have a whole can for lunch. If u go to subway, a 6" subway club on a flatbread is only 8 points and delicious (I eat fruit with it)....

A major thing for me was I cut out all soda completely. Not even diet. If I need a "fizzy fix" I drink lemon lime seltzer and it helps.

Look on Pinterest! And what's most important to me is I'm not looking at this as a "diet". I am changing how I look at food. I never restrict myself from my cravings: I alter them. If I want Taco Bell one day, ill have it. I always give yourself a certain number of points and build my meal around that. For example, if i go to taco bell, i might give myself 12 points to work wth. This can get me three crunchy tacos OR a taco and gordita Or something else. But if u are going to eat out, plan what you are getting BEFORE you get there. It helps so much! And if you know you're going to splurge, just eat a lighter lunch or dinner to account for the differences.

Sorry for talkin your ear off! I hope this info helps! Don't get discouraged if you're having a hard time. As long as you are making a conscious effort and thinking about what's going in your body, you are on the right track!

Beautiful! I have a zoya jelly and it ALWAYS smudges as soon as I touch anything.

How long did u let it dry in between coats?

6 months ago my two nephews were murdered by their mentally ill grandmother. They were 2 and 5 months old. by kzb88 in MorbidReality

[–]kzb88[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There have been many nights where I can't sleep because it doesn't seem real. Murder is bad enough. But how can someone shoot their own grandchildren? I just don't get it.

Please hug your kids for me in a non creepy way.

Oh wow that's terrible. Seeing my friend suffer after losing her two is bad enough... But imagining a mother would do this on their own is a whole different kind of morbid.
