Guilty/ I get one of those big Starbucks drinks before work. I get it with soy milk and sugar free vanilla and still feel terrible about it. Also, I wonder what they use as a sweetener. Unless its xylitol i'm trashing my body.... oh well

Hey if you have the calories in your budget for it, so what? It doesn't look like it's hurting your efforts.

Really, it's just my jealousy being judgy. Maybe once I get to a level of maintenance I'll work things like that in, but I just can't do it now.

Don't think it's physiologically possible to get fat eating leafy greens.

Well. I'll respectfully disagree. Too much of anything is just bad news.

"An African elephant can weigh as much as 16,500 pounds, making it the largest terrestrial animal.³ Keeping a body that massive moving requires many football-fields-full of vegetation. It also takes huge amounts of water. Elephants are both grazers and browsers; They eat plants of almost any size, from grass up to trees."

I know, I know! I'm a Starbuck's nut. Their sugar free syrups use Splenda, although they have tried a few pilot stores with a stevia base for their frappuccinos. However, for the most part - it's Splenda.

As a point of order, I believe elephants are "big boned", and I'm sure PETA would have something to say about your insensitive implication that they are fat.

You're totally right. And y'know, "big" doesn't mean unhealthy - they are extraordinarily physically fit. And not fat... undertall, maybe, but not fat. I hear they tear it up on the stairclimber.
