That's just a scare tactic. Don't let him frighten you into giving up wine.

Fact: alcohol and free food have no calories.

1. Pregnant != fat 2. Boobs are indeed awesome, but not a substitute for being funny.

I am so effing jealous. I am disconnecting and removing the sodding water heater, that picked today of all days to die, so that I am ready to install the new one I am going to buy when Lowe's opens at 5am. Happy Holidays!

NEVER!!! I only feel safe if I have a full wardrobe in every size I have ever been in the last decade. (I am beginning to suspect I might have a slight problem.)

Me too. Sexy dreams.

Free will and autonomy, baby. If it makes you happy, and doesn't hurt anyone else, go for it. More to the point, if you feel good about your choice, and feel like it is helping you, (and, I suppose, that you appreciate that it may be helping you because you like it, not necessarily because it is an otherwise superior…

I think it is possible to find a balance so that you can still exist in the real world and lose weight. The thing I keep reading is that sustained weight loss is about making lifestyle changes that you can stick with, not about a short period (short compared to lifespan, I guess,) of deprivation. Social isolation would not…

I really believe the secret is not to fight it, but to embrace it. Don't resist the futility; trying to give sufficient meaning to everything will crush you. Accept that no thing has a purpose, a meaning, a reason, save what purpose, meaning, and reason you give it, and you will be free. (Don't forget that if you ascribe…

Congrats OP, this is called depressive realism! The secret is to find meaningless, bullsh!t ways to pretend otherwise, and to block the truth from your mind, (eating cookies, not eating cookies, sex, drugs, religion, video games, football.) There's no reason not to eat the cookie, unless you find that you will get more…

I drink a lot of diet soda. I switched to soda stream, which sweetens with Splenda, and I drink probably about 3 litres a day. I have lost weight despite this. I might lose weight faster if I quit drinking soda, but I need caffeine. Lots of caffeine. I am allergic to coffee, and tea is a pain the *kitten*. So, soda.

Has anyone really been far even as decided to use even go want to do look more like? I would take the figure in 35% or 40% in a heartbeat. If I can't have that, I want to look like Chyna from the WWF at the height of her d-bol derived glory (pre-implants.)

Not a single shred of shame.

I live in the magic world of tomorrow wherein I carry a tiny computer in my pocket that connects me to virtually the sum total of human knowledge; I like that we a re genetically modifying things. I wish we were genetically modifying more things. I also wish that I had a jet pack.

This happened to me, too. :fist shake: Papa John's!!! I just try not to think about it when I go over. If I try to "make up for it" I am sure that I will end up doing all sorts of strange and unhealthy math-related things."Yesterday" is over, and as long as yesterday's failures do not become justification for today's…

I believe that I am losing weight because I have reduced my caloric intake and have increased my activity level, but it could be disease or parasites.

Mildly buzzed, awake, and actively avoiding writing a program AND painting a room. I have been through my comedy forums and failblog, and now I am browsing these forums, trying to bribe myself to go downstairs and paint in exchange for one of the large cans of cider in the beer fridge downstairs. I am not really very…

Crack a tube and ask 'em to cut me a line? Serious answer: It has been my experience that self-destructive behaviors are a symptom of other problems. I think that trying to figure out why someone hates his/her life so much that they need beer/coke/cookies to cope with the unceasing nightmare that is his/her life will…

I have one tattoo, on my left ring finger, in the shape of a ring with a black rose. It represents my (hopefully youthful) inability to make good decisions. I have had the first two rounds laser removal done so far, and I expect to need one or two more before it is undetectable.

I have cut ties with people for this. My weight and my body are my business, the same as my alcohol use (rare,) smoking (quit,) love of bmx racing (not really,) career as a professional race car driver (definitely not,) and Summer internships as a mercenary for various warlords (I'm not going to speak about the validity of…

<3 It seems to me that someone who lives in the first world with access to media and education who is obese, and doesn't realize it, is either: . -willfully preserving his/her ignorance of the state of affairs, in which case, he/she does in fact know that he/she is obese, and is making a choice to avoid thinking about it,…

Aside from BDD (I'm not sure how it could be "reversed"; wouldn't that be a hyper-acute understanding of one's body?) these sound like behaviors of someone who knows full and well that they are fat and don't want to think about it. It may not be a good choice or a smart choice, but it is their choice, and they have a right…

In my opinion: Unless you are a medical professional, and the person is your patient, the correct time is never. If you are a medical professional and the person in question is your patient, it is really only necessary to tell them if you honestly and truly believe they do not already know. You may, as a medical…

This. These types of garments also make running way better for me. (I like the Wear-Your-Own-Bra torsette.)

:beaten like a recalcitrant cabana boy:

Current job: Research assistant (code monkey) Dream job: Professional mattress tester Napsite evaluator User experience expert (sleep experience specialization)

I shudder every time someone says "new-kyoo-lur".

Congratulations on being so brave, and thank you for the update. Good luck!

Awesome!
