The internet.

You can raise kids without yelling at them to do things, or when they **** up, or when you're mad, etc. Everyone slips up, I know that. I made my parents frustrated as hell because I like being difficult. But when you're yelling at them more often than not, they learn to fear and often resent you. I can't count the amount…

I'm going to be really curious as to how much boob I'm going to get rid of when I get my reduction. And then possibly do a little jig. Possible the easiest <10 lbs. I ever lost! Hahaha.

A lot of doctors still believe things that have long been debunked. Doesn't mean all docs are bad though. Many keep up with latest health science information.

It's really good, and brave, that you're going to go to a doctor. I know a couple of people who are on meds for anxiety, and it's improved their lives a lot (although there can be issues when skipping pills or weaning off. But that's something to discuss with your doctor). You've taken the first step to taking control of…

I found the segments on advertising by McD's and other fastfood companies really the most fascinating parts of the movie, besides Morgan's deteriorating health. Then again I find studying advertising interesting, as this entire industry is designed in convincing you to believe that if you buy X product, your life will look…

:( It enrages me every time I see these kinds of things directed towards very young children. And where do they learn it from? Their parents and a very racist/white privileged media. It makes me sick. I think it's very good that you're going to the next level with this, because it's completely inappropriate. You also sound…

... And McDonald's doesn't? While I may not have agreed with Morgan's methods in "Supersize Me", he did show the amount of advertising McD's, as well as other fastfood joints, puts into making sure people WANT their product, and everything that goes along with it. Subway is HARDLY alone in asking people if they want sides…

I drink one after my workout, which is in the very late evening. Usually it's that thing that gets me to my calorie goal, and keeps me full for the rest of the night so I don't over-snack. Plus I use it so I have more protein, which I have issues sometimes trying to eat it every day for more than one meal. I don't really…

Cats are technically obligate carnivores. It's how they survive on most kinds of kibble, which contain mostly plant products or meat by-products (not, y'know, meat). Kibble is basically useless for cats, and why there are a number of problems with their digestive tracts or bladders (they absorb most of their water through…

This. All of this. Although an addition for me: I don't disassociate between animals and the effort to "turn" it into food.

Possibly. I just see him time to time doing it and it looks really unsafe.

I see this guy every time have the treadmill set to like 6+, and he frequently lifts himself up by the side bars to stand on the non-moving sides of the treadmill for like a minute, then "hop" back on and keep running. Really?! You're not impressing anyone... just turn down the speed, take a swig of water, breathe, then…

I have it maybe a couple times a year when all other food options are crossed out or just too fatty or high in calories (there is one close to my downtown campus, but I found out Pita Pit is just a bit of a farther walk, it's cheaper, and you get more veggies! Good gods does Subway stinge you on the veggies!). I also have…

Mix with macaroni (2.5-3 cups of uncooked pasta) and cheese. You can choose to add onions, red and green bell peppers, celery, and garlic as well. Usually makes about four heaping platefuls for four people (my family), but I'm sure that can be stretched to five with no problem.

I take it to fall asleep as well. If I take it more than a week in a row though I start waking up after 5 hours and have a very hard time going back to sleep afterwards. It mostly just makes me a bit sleepy enough that I can fall asleep at a not-so-late hour.

I eat? If I'm hungry, I eat. Otherwise I get cranky and start on a slippery slope of disordered eating. I just choose to eat something healthy, like melons or apples. You metabolism doesn't slow down until you're lying in bed ready to sleep anyways. And not everyone goes to bed at the same time as others anyways, so I…

How do you figure out the calories for the whey? I'm thinking of making this for myself for sammiches, and I want to put it on my recipe list. But I'm a little unsure of how to figure that out.

I just add a bunch of stuff to it. Like apples. My oatmeal was basically 80% apple, 20% oatmeal. Heh. You could also try added skim milk to the oatmeal as well?

I use real sugar, as well as honey. I can't stand artificial sweeteners. They taste funny to me. I once accidentally has some Coke Zero and kept wondering why the hell it tasted so funny until I figured out what it actually was. XD

You'll lose breast size depending on how much fat you have in there. Contrary to popular belief, breasts are NOT all fat. There is a lot of muscle tissue in there as well. As for me, I hope to gods I lose fat in my breast. I'm having a breast reduction sometime next year, and i want to avoid the more... riskier reduction…

That the stretchmarks I had were getting worse and were now above my belly button. Clothes I used to own I could no longer fit into. My breast reduction surgery coming up really soon.

I swear quite a bit, but it's not a regular part of my vocabulary. Good thing I'm not a woman. Wouldn't want to be "unlady-like". Pffffftt.

... Humans can't really be carnivores. The word implies that you only eat meat.

I never add any random people as friends. If I don't know you, tough ****. I'm on Tumblr as well, so I also try and follow on healthy (or recovering ED) tumblrs as well.

I don't want the opinion of random strangers telling me what to eat or how to eat. Which is different from me *asking* for opinions/help. Plus, I just like my privacy. I have a different place to discuss with people and who help keep me accountable for getting more active, rather than eating (which I think I do pretty damn…

Wow, classism. Nice.

Naked. :)

There's an image with a quote floating around Tumblr that I reblog at least once a month. It says: "It took more than a day to put it on; it will take more than a day to take it off." It keeps me in focus: Having a minor splurge once a week will NOT wreck my diet plan. But I also have to keep in mind that the changes will…

I was told once that a lot of North American coffee is ****, and that's why most people sweeten it. If it's done "right" (whatever that is) you can actually stand to have it black. Then again, I don't drink coffee. :)
