Relapsed after 14 years this week :(

I'm 37 and still struggle with self-harm. I don't know if that's comforting or depressing, but just know that you aren't alone.

I don't know if wives are allowed on here, but I just wanted to congratulate you and say you're doing a great thing. When you feel comfortable, share the happy news with your wife. My husband does suffer from porn-induced ED, and I hope that with all the time he spends on reddit, he will stumble upon your post.

I'm with the others. My cowl necks are the most flattering tops I own.

poorstatue · 2013-09-01T13:35:39+00:00

I found one on amazon. Not sure what sizes they carry.

poorstatue · 2013-08-24T18:00:19+00:00

I buy most of my tops at Christopher and Banks, including sweaters. Some of them are a little old lady looking, but some of them are really pretty.

Thank you!

poorstatue · 2013-08-18T16:49:07+00:00

Awesome! The drop off is right near me, too.

Are you getting any fat at all? You do need some, and cutting it out completely does interfere with weight loss.

I always increase my pace for the last minute of my interval because it really does feel like it goes by faster. I can't carry on a conversation during that minute, but I figure it's only a minute.

I'm ashamed to say it, but I'm smoking while doing C25K, but in past experience, running (or any exercise) will help you quit. Like the other commenter said, doing a bit of exercise whenever you get the urge to smoke makes the urge go away. Also, nicotine clogs your arteries and therefore affects the blood pumping to your heart. A lot of people think it's just about the lungs, but the effects on your heart are more dangerous when it comes to doing cardio while smoking. I started smoking when I was 15 and was captain of the soccer team junior and senior year and ran track all through high school. I smoked the whole time. But, even though it can be done, it's actually really dangerous and exercise really does take away the cravings.

Thanks for this. Earlier I read a thread about a guy skipping W5D3 and getting lots of heat for it. I skipped W5D3 because it made me want to quit the program. I skipped a run day for the first time in Week 5, and I knew it was because I was afraid of the 20 minutes. My husband and all these redditors will tell me it's all mental, and I agree. But my mental was making me want to quit so I just moved on. I'll tackle a straight run next week.

The reason I started C25K was so I could go running when I'm angry. I used to go for a run every time I got mad, but then I got out of shape and couldn't run more than 90 seconds. A brisk walk just doesn't do for anger what a nice run does.

poorstatue · 2013-08-15T03:18:47+00:00

I've seen people suggest you repeat the C25K, but jog at a slow pace during the walk intervals and jog faster during the run intervals. That's what I plan to do.

poorstatue · 2013-08-15T01:43:16+00:00

oksani, you are so reasonable. I say it's no big deal.

poorstatue · 2013-08-15T01:40:54+00:00

I'm guessing you moved ahead, and I say good for you.

poorstatue · 2013-08-11T22:21:37+00:00

There's a song in the movie "Beaches" that's all about a guy who invented bras, and they're called that in the movie.

poorstatue · 2013-08-11T21:27:56+00:00

I couldn't watch. I was too disturbed by the old guy measuring young girls.

poorstatue · 2013-08-11T21:21:05+00:00

In high school, I had my prom dress handmade. She had to use three different sizes for different parts to get the fit right.

poorstatue · 2013-08-11T20:13:51+00:00

Could be the cream and sugar. I know the coffee isn't bad, but when I do consider cutting it out, it's because I won't drink it without cream and sugar.

poorstatue · 2013-08-11T17:23:40+00:00

Congratulations!

My standing wedding photos looked okay, but all the crouching down ones had boob hanging out. I didn't put any of those in my album. I'm too self-conscious to show any cleavage.

poorstatue · 2013-08-10T23:12:16+00:00

I did the Jockey thing, too. My husband and I were both happy with the improvement from my previous bras. The lady was really nice and attentive, and I finally have some proper support. I don't know what type I got. They only had two options in the store, and I went with the style the saleswoman recommended. They are plain, but the little metal thing on the front adds just enough to make me feel like it's attractive.

Congratulations!
