But but but...I really like bugs, so that wouldn't work for me. There are 14 Tarantulas and a scorpion in this house.
However, heights and murderers = anxiety.

heheheh this reminds me of suggesting to an MFPer one time if I pushed her off a 10 story building she could yell back "My HR is increasing. . . .so fitness!" SPLAT. It would definitely work one time.LaceyBirds wrote: »While not bug-related, I've been thinking about doing bungee-jumping-using-company-with-spotty-safety-record for the exercise portion of my weight-loss program. The thrill of wondering "will I die this time" might be good for a few kcals.
Did you get a warning for that? Lol.
Back then...no. It was a thread arguing how many cals someone burns lifting versus cardio. One poster 'knew they were burning more' just by bending over and picking up the weights 'cause their HRM showed an increase'. People and their gadgets. . .smh.
My heart rate goes up when I watch a scary movie too. Should do that more often....I could probably eat more popcorn than watching a romance because, you know, calories burned and all.
Exactly! It is October so scary means more calories.

Yes! And we can start a new website with forums for support, and a place where people can log all their fear calories! We can call it:

And with Halloween coming, it's the perfect time to launch!1 -

I bet I can find you a 2 mile path full of spiders. They are EVERYWHERE right now. There's also a route that I sometimes refer to as the 'slug slalom'.0 -

Summertime late night slug stepping is just......a crappy feel under a barefoot.

The wolf spider is common around here and while it does get my heart up a little, I am able to keep fairly calm. It was the picking up the laundry and finding the snake that sent me running. Oh and the critter that found his way into my bed one night. Anxiety attacks and not sleeping and keeping the lights on 24/7....does not a happy person make.0

So, out of curiosity, how close are you to the NC border? Spent some time west of Asheville this summer and saw deer crossing the Fork(?) or another river where we stayed.

Never measured it to the border, but we do connect. I live in Tennessee.

It is a beautiful part of the eastern states. And Asheville for foodies. . . .wow! So many great restaurants.

LOL Love it!
I don't think I've ever been frightened into burning calories (yet! maybe i'll do one of those Halloween Terror walks this month!) but I have unintentionally been completely horrified or grossed out into a total loss of appetite a few times.
One time also involved a grasshopper. Around here, we call it the Grasshopper Incident.
(WARNING: Read no further, faint of heart!)
When my kiddo was little, he caught a grasshopper and tied a piece of yarn around its neck to make a "leash." And then he tugged on it. Let's just say...he should have named it Marie Antoinette.
And I think it was that same summer, he was running around in the back yard at twilight, and I noticed he had a glowing circle around his wrist. I asked him if someone gave him a light-up thing, only to realize he made his own, with a firefly.
And no, he didn't grow up to pull wings off of flies, thank goodness. 0 -

I find those stories highly entertaining, but being a farm girl and a nurse, very little grosses me out.
As for fear:
