I would say practice being patient. To lose 5 lbs should take you around 5 weeks or so if you simply track your cals and don't cheat. Anything worth it takes time.

Shadow people are scary. I also try to run them over when they cross my path.

I frequently watch the wild animals that roam my backyard. I don't believe any of them have ever captured a fleeing McDonalds cheeseburger or sprinting Snickers bar. They don't seem riddled with disease or cancer and diabetes from eating naturally and are lean and strong. So I personally will choose to continue eating like…

Calories are still calories. If you eat 180 cals of almonds you still need to count it. I love almonds myself but I limit them because of the high calorie content.

I'm from Florida. I was at the beach last night and the sunset was amazing! It's a beautiful place and I've lived all over the country.

Of course McDonalds McCrap is killing you. It's all high-calorie processed food. But you try to tell people this and they label you a conspiracy nut. It's frustrating but whatever.

Well the joke is on them as I picked up a lovely 'Swine Pink' plus sized dress for half that price at Kohls.

Everyday is a new day to start over. You have the power to change everything and if necessary reinvent yourself. I would also be wary of the shrinks and meds, once I got away from all that my life dramatically improved. Go outside an take a walk each day. Sunshine and fresh air is the best antidepressant on the planet.

Ahoy Matie! If ye don't eat ur fruit, ye will get scurvy! Ye scurvy dogs!

You probably want to wait until you are on the hormones for a bit. Those will be the thing that actually effects metabolism. As for seeing the conflicting gender messages and markers, get used to it, that's part of the reality of being trans. I transitioned 10 years ago and I'm still hit with societies impressions on how I…

Morning run on the beach...

“I do my thing and you do yours. I am not in this world to live up to your expectations, and you are not in this world to live up to mine. You are you and I am I, and if by chance we find each other, then it is beautiful. If not, it can't be helped.” - Gestalt prayer

You may add me.

I think of the body like any machine. You wouldn't go putting gas or oil in your car all willy-nilly without knowing the amounts would you? Everything is calculated so you don't get stuck or have it completely seize up on you. That's why we have gauges and units to measure everything. Calculating calories is simply the…

I eat very paleo, hardly any processed foods. I also try to avoid anything common in modern agriculture such as wheat, corn, oats, grains, etc. (paleolithic man did not engage in farming) You can check out my food diary if you want.

I sleep 9 to 10+ hours a night. I've lost 11 lbs since beginning of December. I'm rarely ever hungry. If I don't sleep enough though I'm ravenous. Lack of sleep has been shown to increase hunger the next day. It's just your body trying to offset the lack of sleep with extra energy.

Watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer. It was an expression Faith used.

In the woods where I run. But who is considering there? The squirrels perhaps.

The right combination of intense eyes, apathetic outlook, and somber sociopathic demeanor goes a long way.

Some of us work very hard to look average. How else could we seamlessly infiltrate your society before the invasion begins.

This is why I try to not eat anything that comes from a bag, box, or can.

This is the difficult thing about anxiety. The more introspective you are, the more the anxiety multiplies and after awhile you have anxiety over having anxiety. Relaxation and meditation techniques may help you form a sense of detachment from the thoughts and sensations you are feeling and break the cycle. My anxiety used…

The term has actually been around since the early 1990's... http://knowyourmeme.com/memes/no-homo If someone uses that term and it really offends you why not just chalk it up to them being an *kitten* and move on? Is their opinion really going to stop making you be who you are? Your sexuality is nobody's business but your…

Reading all of this I feel so lucky. I actually love my job and feel fortunate to have it.

A calorie is a calorie is a calorie. Just go walk for an hour or something, then you can still enjoy it.

Sorry, I just had too....
