    I've learned that there are some ugly, nasty people on this site. But most of the people here are wonderful. And if I let the awful ones drive me away, they win. Plus, I've learned if they keep it up, they'll get banned eventually.

    your you're ur
    its it's
    their there they're
    loose lose
    two too to 2

    None of those mean what I think they do, They are, in fact, interchangeable, and I am a grammar Nazi for believing otherwise.
    I am a demon for using the word Nazi.
    Everything IS better with Bacon...
    My method of working out and eating is DEAD WRONG despite the fact that I have more endurance, more energy in general, am stronger, have lost 40 pounds, and have more definition to my muscles.
    You are NEVER. EVER. EVER. allowed to be upset with any aspect of weight loss. EVER.

    I've also learned there are four things everyone loves:

    1. Beer
    2. Bacon
    3. Boobs
    4. Butts

    It's crazy!

    Define nonsense and who gets to judge that versus a difference of opinion. I've had people praise the Atkins diet and other swear it off as nonsense (just one example of many). Can you further quantify what you're defining as being eligible for attacking?

    You'll most likely see nonsense around these parts in the form of demonizing a single maconutrient, food or ingredient with no regards to context or dosage. Other common nonsense is talk of starvation mode from skipping a meal, special snowflakes who think they can operate out side the laws of the universe, post hoc ergo propter hoc fallacies etc etc


    Oh wow...I understood that. I agree. :bigsmile:

    Let's not forget you don't need to count calories from fruits and vegetables because they are 'free'. This drives me craaaaaazy! X

    I've learned to abhor the phrase "special snowflake", and to hear it spoken in a snotty tone in my head when I read it in a thread.
    Also, the thread ain't over till it's been saturated with memes. :wink:

    THIS

    Home Depot. Just saying. Gardening section, everything you need to make a barricade, everything you need for makeshift weapons, and enough snack food to get you to the point where your own is growing out of the gardening center.

    No, I don't spend too much time contemplating this.

    It's crazy!

    What's even crazier is that they ALL start with the letter B!

    Mind. Blown.

    1) Barefoot or minimal running is best.
    2) Barefoot or minimal running will destroy your feet.
    3) You should eat back your exercise calories.
    4) You should not eat back your exercise calories.
    5) Starvation mode is real.
    6) Starvation mode is a myth.
    7) It's about eating healthy, not calories.
    8) It's about calories, not eating healthy.
    9) Losing a certain amount of weight (.5-2 lbs) per week is best and the only right way.
    10) Losing any amount of weight is okay if you're permanently changing your lifestyle.
    11) It's okay to be classless, hateful, ugly, and just rude to anyone who disagrees with you on the above opinions (or anything else for that matter) as long as you're just some anonymous person behind a computer.

    So, what I've really learned...

    1) Discover what works for you personally and that you feel you can sustain for the long-haul.
    2) Most people are trying to become healthier to feel better about themselves, but some find it's just not enough and need to try and do so at the expense of others. This is really sad no matter what you weigh.

    Nawwwww crud....I've been going about this all wrong!!! :noway:
