    Someone who believes they are physiologically different than other human beings and thus cannot lose weight by eating at a moderate calorie deficit and exercising.

    It's a reference to the movie "Fight Club" I think, and the notion that some people think they are special and the rules don't apply to them.

    Ahhhh I get it.. Are those the same people who think there is some sort of magic pill out there?

    I am not a special snowflake.....
    The fact of the matter is:
    I just eat too much, (working on that)
    I Move too little (working on that too)
    and like to party (will try to work on that....or not...) But if I get the first two in check, I can still do the third... right?. :wink: :drinker:

    “You are not special. You're not a beautiful and unique snowflake. You're the same decaying organic matter as everything else. We're all part of the same compost heap. We're all singing, all dancing crap of the world.”
