Yes, but my brain gets in the way so often. Well, I shouldn't say that actually. The tools of the brain get in the way. The brain alone is a very beautiful organ, it is true. But the things that live inside it.... That haunts me.

My liver. It's just so useful.

No. In real life I look just like Roseanne, although that is a picture of me. It's a conundrum.

Roseanne. Oh, and yeah. I mean, I guess considering everything, it's a compliment.

I just took a test, and it said I was INTJ. I began to do artistic things when I was about 14, but before that had always felt that I had a somewhat scientific mind (even if I'm horrible at math). It's weird, because I'm not strictly a science-mind, or rather, because of my interests (literature, singing, acting, etc.) it…

I am going back to school this fall, and hope to take the world by storm. I figure looking better will help!

I have mentally ill almost everything. I think you sometimes have to finally just restrict the amount of time they are in your lives. I know that is hard for a lot of people to accept, but you can't force anyone to do anything. So, you just...leave them be.

I'll be 25 in September, but I look 30, so I'm thinking it's basically the same thing. I would like to be in better shape for 30 though, because that will pretty much be the end of my existence and I need to get life settled before then.

You inspire me!

To astound everyone with my Beyoncé-ness.

Umm, my face pretty much looks the same even when I'm down pounds (or at least, I don't look like a especially overweight person), but I would NEVER NEVER EVER post a picture showing any part of my body. I would die of embarrassment.

I don't care if starvation mode exists or not! I'm eating more than I ever have before, and losing weight. And I'm okay with that! Really, I am! This sandwich is delicious!

I agree with others on upping calories! I'm sorry to tell you, but with this consistent level of exercise and eating well you are now sort of an athlete--embrace it! Also, work on giving up on guilt! Perfection is the enemy of the good! I know it's hard--it's taking me until this year to realize that if I "mess up" I just…

It takes me losing 40 pounds before anyone can tell any difference, because my face stays slim whether I gain or not. And I have the same problem with pants. But...I guess it's different, cause I'm a guy. When we get fat, it just goes to our stomach usually.

Wear a HRM?

I have "Mi tradi quell'alma ingrata" stuck in my head.

Amen!

I also have to remember that some people have really judgmental friends on here, which I don't get--then again, I have tried to have friends, and just stopped trying, cause I find it pretty pointless. Some random person saying "Way to go" on something I posted isn't really gonna change what I do--it may help some people…

I think mine is open---though I have seen several people think there diaries were open when they were not--I don't really care. I can see how some people could have been raised in an environment where it may be impolite or rude to talk about that sort of thing--we are all from different cultures/regions with different…

To get myself into full diva mode by August 22nd, so I can dazzle everyone with my Beyoncé-ness.

I know people who always complain about not having Nicholas Sparks romance in their life. I'm like, Are you crazy? This is REAL LIFE. Just accept it, and you will be much more content.

Yeah, and that's why I've been trying to do somewhat good. I kind of let everything else go where it wants and just focus on calories and protein. Ugh, I just need to get in the car and go buy some more whey. Blah.

I think I need to give up on this whole trying to meet a protein goal for a while. I don't think it's really necessary for me at this point in time, but I guess I'm not a registered nutritionist or anything, so maybe I'm wrong. Maybe if I don't eat enough protein my organs will all dissolve. Maybe my skin will start…

I would assume most of my book collection made up of contemporary American Poetry. So far, of the people I've met here, there doesn't seem to be a big "poetry" crowd. I don't think there are many people with similar interests to me on the entire site. I feel very odd most of the time, so just keep to myself.

Yes, but you sound happy and content! First and most important step! You rock!

Hey, just something to keep in mind for those of you who weigh in at home, but also weigh in at the doctor--or those of you who wish you could weigh naked at the doctor! Just remember it doesn't matter what your number actually is...unless you are SUPER close to your goal weight (like 5 pounds away), it's just about…

Naked! Only once a week am I naked and it is for this!

No, no. I'm much too old now for that sort of thing. Alas! The spring of life has passed me by.

This inspires me to new aspirations.

Underwear. Then shorts and a shirt. Socks. A hoodie. And finally a parka.
