sounds to me like you were hoping for some crazy fad diet and a lunatic who pushed you until you either gave up or got ill.

my doc found nothing wrong with my heart the first time it was checked out. I have a benign sort of heart arrhythmia, and it had to actually be fluttering at the time for them to find it. they can put a 24 hour trace on you, if they're so inclined, that would pick something like that up. I wake up in the night if my heart…

if you move into their home, and they accept you, throwing a hissy fit about having to boil two pans of pasta is petty and stupid. cooking just for herself and her partner would send a very unpleasant signal about how she views the family unit. looking for compromise meals is a reasonable first step.

if all guys were like that then I would still be a virgin. at 38.

i'd delete without replying if I were you.

you sound like you're the one with issues, not him. multiple issues. I hope either you change or he leaves before he ends up emotionally damaged by you.

unless we're going to use proper scientific terms. which, in this sort of conversation, nobody ever does.

''how do you figure lead weighs more than cheese? a pound is a pound!'' if a cubic inch of muscle weighs more than a cubic inch of fat then, duh, muscle is heavier than fat.

if they get caught packing too many people in they might get into trouble, but this really should've been something they told you at the start of the class. poor customer service = lost business. I suggest writing to the big boss, not complaining about the policy but airing your concerns about the insensitive way it was…

it's therapeutic. it makes me relax. my frustrations melt away. it improves my bone density. it makes me less susceptible to injury at work. I like how my muscles look. i burn more even doing nothing.

seeing as you're, what, 99.9% populated from the rest of the world... how would that work? roids in mcfries?

your 'merican football team. whatever one you follow. actually, you do enter the football (soccer) world cup. not won yet though.

if you think about it, how often do you see your team playing a foreign one? football (soccer)... I suspect it's the most popular sport in the world. the world cup really is a global event. also, I hate bloody football :smile:

American football never really took off in the rest of the world. football (what you & ozzies call soccer) seems to be popular pretty much everywhere. ...football (soccer) was football before American football was invented.

no, what you call soccer is called football in the rest of the world. sheesh!

the situation blows but there is nothing much you can do. it's her house and you don't have the right to override that. I would be making life there hell for him though, confronting him with his inadequacy constantly.

it's called football in most of the world. what you call football, we call American football.

do crunches and leg lifts, not sit ups. that will reduce friction & pressure, and they're just as good.

i'm always dubious of stories that evolve depending on the reaction.

it's been known for decades that rubbing faces in pee doesn't work on dogs and is abusive. if I posted ''I hit my child with a belt because I heard it made horses behave'', would that be reasonable? abusive behaviour is more about the inability of the abuser to contain their own frustrations than it is about the victim's…

there is no excuse for abusing animals, even if they're peeing inconveniently. you shouldn't own pets.

diet clubs make their money on repeat customers. so do gyms. to decide whose repeat customer you would rather be, park outside and look at the people coming in & out.

i'm no more likely to be fat positive than I am to be pro-ana. i'll accept people, whatever their size, but i'm not going to start thinking unhealthy is a good thing.

all fruit is yellow and every post you disagree with is clearly directed at you or whatever group you represent. I would like to explain to you what i'm saying but I lack the patience it would require, so i'm going to the cinema instead.

lemons are yellow and lemons are fruit, therefore all fruit must be yellow. true story.

nobody has even implied that, but if you would rather they had please feel free to just invent stuff. I can tell you have a lot to prove so I suggest you assume I provided all the fuel you need.

I love the judgyness of people who have never had a close call, never been grabbed or attacked or intimidated. it must be lovely to come from a perspective of never having been in sexual danger and tell those who have that they're silly ###'s for following their gut instinct when somebody makes them uncomfortable.

do you even science?

calorie count him for one, whole, typical day. work out how many hours running he'd need to burn off the excess . show his mother how stupidly unrealistic this expectation is and tell her she is a selfish ###.

this thread reminds me of the reasons I gave up on dating.
