Sticking a knife in my eye, what are your thoughts?

THIS is my way of "answering" some of the posts I see without violating any MFP rules.

    If it fits in your calories go ahead?

    Should I soak the knife in cider vinegar 1st or wrap it in saran wrap? Or, poke my eye while I am on the treadmill eating a turkey leg?

    Losing an eye is going to really mess with your depth perception. Not sure if you're a runner, but it could be an issue.

    Now, sticking the knife in their eye? Hmmm.

    Yes, but how much do eyes weigh? I need to do a depth perception/weight loss analysis and then decide what my best plan of action is.

    Getting rid of the eyes may make a difference on the scale. They are surrounded by muscles, and muscles weigh more than fat. Get rid of those.

    It's your journey hon, and every body's different. I say absolutely go for it and don't let any of these haters tell you any different.

    No you should absolutely NOT stick a knife in your eye. I once stuck a knife in my eye and I can tell you now not just based on my own personal experience, but that there are thousands of studies out there - none of which I will link to - that show that sticking a knife in your eye is FAR less effective than sticking a knife in your thigh. I've also worked as a knifer for 6 months and have a Certification of Stabbiness, so you can take what I am saying to the bank.

    You might as well chop off a leg. Then you'll really be able to *LOOSE* some weight

    Since I don't have personal experience of sticking a knife in my eye, my opinion means nothing.

    knives are used to cut meat. meat is bad. therefore sticking a knife in your eye because you don't want your eye to be meat. then your eye would make you fat.

    or something.

    Well for me I like a nice stainless steel knife in order to stick it into my eye. Some people prefer plastic but I say go with stainless steel because it's worth it. Now go with it and don't forget to post picz!!

    I read somewhere that someone with a degree said that sticking a knife in your eye is a great way to lose weight. I heard a friend say their friend was doing it and had great results! Anyone who says otherwise is just jealous that you are better than them!

    Why does everyone have to be so mean.. it's her eye. I mean she can do with it what she wants. Plus, everyone's eyes work differently. A few questions.. do you wear glasses? Do you have dry eyes? What kind of knife are you using. We really should know the stats before we answer this.

  • yes do it, but you might need to adjust your caloric intake for the day since the whole process (hospital, rolling around on the floor in agony, etc) will burn up a lot of calories.

    I suppose weight loss would be more significant. It will be more difficult to find the fridge if you're blind. ;-)

    As long as you do it on an incline...burns more calories that way.

    It doesn't matter if you're stabbing it with a knife all at once or just kind of scraping it slowly with a toothpick. As long as you take out the same amount of eye you'll burn the same calories. I've always thought about sticking a knife in my eye but I was too scared to try it cause it looks hard. You're an inspiration!

    I'd only stick a knife in if I ate a bunch of celery so the knife had negative calories. It could have food on it. You should have at least 10 stalks, I think.

    I heard that in Asia they do it with a chopstick. It's more efficient and not as painful. Plus you get to play with the eye on a stick after. Apparently girls like that a lot.
