I've been reading a lot about intermittent fasting recently. For those who don't know this is a system where you fast for a certain number of hours and then eat a normal day's calories within a certain window of hours. There are a...

trenea7 The idea of eating all day is what the intermittent fasting books say is wrong. Because your body is constantly being fed, your metabolism levels off. It also makes us feel hungry all day because as we spread our needed caloric intake over 5-6 meals, we...

trenea7 Is your fast for spiritual reasons then? Any good health benefits you've noticed as a side effect?

trenea7 This is something new I haven't heard of in my research. Can I ask how long and how often you were doing the fasting? And did your doctor tell you the ulcers are attributed to your eating patterns? This is definitely something I don't want to deal with!

Some people have an auto clock in them and they wake up exactly at the same time everyday even without an alarm clock. Do you belong to such a category? Of late I seem to be doing this quite regularly though it was not so...

trenea7 I wake up between 3:00-3:15am every morning. Then I lie awake for at least an hour trying to go back to sleep. It stinks. I don't know what started my waking at this time. My husband's alarm starts going off at 4am, so often I just drop off to sleep and his...

I was talking to my neighbour today. I had baked a cake for her and delivered it and we were chatting in her front yard. My cat, Banjo, was there as he usually follows me. He is often over there and she encourages him and has him...

trenea7 I think I've read that coffee grounds will keep cats out of your garden as they don't like the smell. That being said, we have several neighborhood cats that just roam free and it aggravates us to no end when they poop in our yard or walk up and down the...

trenea7 I do enjoy being a mom (most of the time) and while I would enjoy the intellectual stimulation of a job, I feel that it's important for me to be home with the kids. My husband has frequently said if I could earn enough income, he'd gladly trade places with...

trenea7 My husband laughs when I tell him that just going grocery shopping ALONE is like a holiday for me. I can just wander the aisle looking for new things and just enjoy the quiet shopping trip. None of the "Gimme's" as I call them are there to interfere. It's...

trenea7 I know I always wonder if my husband gets bored with my conversations since most of them center around something the kids did. I got a 4.0 in college. I do have a brain--it just doesn't get used these days!

trenea7 No biggie. That was probably my fault in how I wrote the discussion topic. Sometimes we really just need to hear those inflections that we miss out in this form of communication.

trenea7 Truthfully, I haven't tried any consistent method of stopping either of these behaviors because I hadn't found one that I really felt like was the right choice. I like your ideas though. I use similar methods for other behaviors. I've had my daughter put...

trenea7 I've never heard about the going to bed after eating. That's interesting. We usually eat at 6pm and they go to bed at 8pm so I guess they're just outside the 2 hours by the time they lay down to sleep. Thanks for the ideas. I might try the warm...

trenea7 I tried putting them to bed at different times, but it didn't work. They already go to bed at 8pm so it cuts into the evening to go much earlier. Also, whoever goes to bed first just lays there waiting for their sister to come in. I also tried the reading...
