I can confuse the heck out of people because I can do so many accents from having traveled alot in my youth. The one that gets people down here in Jacksonville is my Baltimore accent, you know Bawlmer, Merlin hun? I tend to default to that accent when Im frustrated so I say zinc instead of sink, worsh instead of wash,…

Unless you're my wife don't touch me. Some people are a bit touchy feely these days.

Always funny. My cat still hasn't figured out the mosquito net on my bed. It's like a cat force field lol.

I'm abby normal, no denying that, love to meet people like me.

It's hard to get over someone cheating on you, it happened to me though thankfully with a girlfriend of 2 years and not a marriage. I was so gunshy of relationships after that I basically went MGTOW for the next 5 years until I met my wife.

Rant: Southern Style Sweet tea or "would you like a splash of tea with your bag of sugar?" Rave: Southern BBQ

Dogs aren't the only ones... I spent and hour cleaning the other day and vacuuming, only to have my cats tear up a catnip toy all over the living room carpet. Then they have the audacity to look cute while stoned and covered in catnip.

Not really, just hitting rock bottom usually does it.

Thanks, I intend to stick around and well about them, I should have known better than to express an opinion these days.

I verbally tore the ears off an Indian scammer that called me. I think I would have set a sailor on fire with my language he was coming right back at me telling me he was going to *kitten* my mother. Guess ur into necrphilia buddy cuz mom's been dead since '07.

Now that you mention it... I was a Civil War Reenactor back then so that's why I wore my facial hair that way. These days it's either clean shaven or a pencil mustache.

Thank you, my goal is to buy a suit when I get to 250 as a reward for losing so much weight.

Ok, final one, not exactly a suit but a Barong Tagalog, Philippine formal wear woven from pineapple fibre. This is from my wedding in 2007, next week will be 11 years for me and my wife.

Taken c2003 when I was still in my 20's but weighed about 320.

I took this a couple years back when I was still 340ish before I ballooned up in the last year. The jacket is wool, 1940's Union Tag, an amazing find since vintage clothes in my size are a true unicorn.

Oh I wasn't talking about the chit chat group, I know it's all in good fun. My problem is fitting in with the rest of MFP. I've found a couple friends like me that are here to lose a metric ton of weight but Im not gonna fit in with the people who exercise all the time nor the ones who want to lose a bit of weight. I know…

SAD doesn't exist, we are too diverse of a culture, each bringing our own norms to the table to even begin to define SAD. Now what we could do is instead rebrand it as DAD or the Dysfunctional American Diet, one that is heavy on greasy foods, fast food, junk food, soda, etc. These foods don't hold the nutrients we need as…

Yes true, cleanses were the in thing a few years back.

I used to work in the produce dept of a grocery chain. Bananas are indeed kept cold during transport, it doesn't hurt them as long as they don't get frozen and rethawed. This sounds like what is happening with the OP's bananas because we had a "bad" batch one time that was temp frozen then thawed out. Still a touch green…

I admit to feeling a bit intimidated because I have so much weight to lose.

I give up!

I started out at 396 and have gone down to 377 so far, my goal is 200. Going to be a long journey I'm afraid.

My wife has PCOS and since she's half my size I'm afraid I've led her to some unhealthy eating habits... that and I'm a cook by trade. I'm just restarting on here myself and I need to lose 182lbs.

I have an open diary and I log EVERYTHING.

If he's drinking to the point of slurred speech then "Houston, we have a problem". I used to be an alcoholic for 2 years but I was able to step away from it 17 years ago.

Back when I was single it was me and my overweight friends and for the record I do look for personality, my statement was in response to the fat acceptance movement. Also for the record I'm married so I only have to answer to my wife now. And yes it is mean, everyone views the world from their point of view, I can't step…

It's cliquey enough I'm afraid to ask for friends. I'm not here to get ripped or lose a few pounds for Summer, I'm here for a life change, lose almost 200lbs, multi year commitment.
