So I just started Knights of the Old Republic because of my (somewhat out of hand) obsession with Mass Effect, and it is RIDICULOUSLY fun. Especially running around and recognizing elements/voice actors/concepts that were rehashed in ME. Only down side is I hate games that force you to sit back and watch while your…

Generally way more attracted to personality than anything else, but on a purely aesthetic level: Smiles, jawlines, necks, shoulders, hands, and hips. I'm a sucker for a great smile and strong angles (that probably sounds strange heh).

Can't wait for this to come out on Android, I hear they brought in a lot of familiar voices for the storymode. It'll be neat to hear everyone doing something new :D

Third play through of the Mass Effect series (currently on ME2). Thinking about moving on to something else but every time I try to start a different game my brain protests that it's not ME.

I agree, same here. I think one of the issues though is that, outside of falling somewhere on the LGBTQIA spectrum and being on here, there's not much else (known) common ground to build longer conversations on. Not saying that we don'tshare similar interests, but that when, say, I feel like talking about Firefly feels or…

I'm really glad you're my friend on here :) you took the words right out of my mouth. <3

Not new to Firefly but new to the group, hello! Planning to do a rewatch of the series sometime soon and trying to prepare myself for the feels.

Hey everyone, thanks for joining! I guess I should introduce myself as well. I am by far the most newb person to archery here, as far as I can tell. I started shooting on and off at my college's archery club during my first year, but scheduling conflicts kept me from continuing it until this semester. Now I'm in the class…

Another Runner 5 here! Ok, more like a Quick-walking 5, but working on it :) I LOVE this app, probably a little too much. Ahhhh Able... Sam... everyone...It's just so great <3

1tb of greek yogurt with a pinch of honey or like 1/2 tsp of jam mixed in. Enough to cover toast, satisfy the sweet and creamy craving, reaaallly good <3

Honestly it seems like you have a pretty good understanding of how your relationship with your mom needs more boundaries, and since you understand her eating is disordered I doubt you'll become "just like her" because you have a good understanding of what's healthy and what's not. Now you just need to find a way to keep…

I had this problem. I actually bought a bodymedia fit so that I could have a better idea of my real calorie burn every day. I still use endomondo to time my work outs and keep track of distance/elevation change/pace/workout history, but it's not that great for calories, so I usually compare my MFP results to what my BMF…

It depends on the event. I don't drink much (maybe once or twice a year) and I hate bars/clubs/whatever they call them nowadays. On occasion I've had acquaintances invite me to go to a bar for after class drinks and I've said no, but I usually tell them it's because I have class in the morning, which is also true. I just…

Found this on rippedrecipes.com, really liked it! I modified mine to add sriracha & some spinach with the arugula, and used whole eggs instead of whites. They were denser than if I'd used whites and really rich, but also highly satisfying. With my modification it still only ended up being like 35 cals a muffin or…

Be kind to yourself. Binge eating is a flawed coping mechanism, as is restricting/"punishing". You were stressed out about exams, and you turned to coping in an unhealthy manner, but that's ok: every moment is a new chance to try out healthy coping skills. If you fail this moment (whether it's eating a bowl of granola or…

I agree with a couple of the other posters on here. OP, from what you've said and your diary, it sounds like you have a very unhealthy relationship with food. You're overwhelmed by the enormity of counting or weighing your intake, yet thought and planning for food consumes your day. You're nearly in tears because you can't…

Honestly? Talk to your doctor. Drinking water is good, and a gallon isn't huge if you're working out and sweating a lot and need to make up the difference, BUT unless you're working out then such excessive thirst doesn't sound like a very good indicator. Even whatever other peoples experiences might be, excessive thirst…

I love all these things, but we're already friends on here now heh. That being said, welcome! And welcome to LA, it's got it's ups and downs but it's pretty ok. I see your photo is from Griffeth's Observatory, lovely place :D Yay for fat mermaid and rescue cat love <3 Edit: Btw there's a queer/LGBTQ community on here you…

Thanks for the replies! I really wasn't too worried but it's nice to see that it's probably not a cause for concern. I DO watch where the source of my fat comes from and try to limit "bad fat" sources to moderate/low levels, though some days are better than others (mmm cheese...). I appreciate the responses, though, nice…

Pretty well, yes, though my protein is always a bit under. My fat intake tends to take a chunk out of my carb ratio but not hugely, either. Main problem with that is most of the actual extra fat comes from when I'm on campus (I spend something like 9 to 12 hours on campus a day). I'll have eggs and oatmeal w/chia in the…

^All this. Even being a fully out bisexual doesn't really make it much easier to connect, mainly because there's a lot of hesitation in the LG communities to really accept and trust bisexuals (the BTQIA communities tend to be a bit easier but they also tend to be a bit smaller and that has it's own form of connection…

Definitely agree with the above posters. Talk to someone. Find a talk therapist if you can. If money is an issue, look for training clinics. These are clinics and the like where interns go to work under licensed therapists while they get their 3000 something hours of experience. Often times these places charge a sliding…

Ok, that makes a lot of sense. Swag is definitely a good indicator and reaaaaally attractive <3 I have no swag (and don't really mind, it's definitely not natural to me) so I think I'm probably not who this thread is looking for :p

LOL nevermind, I couldn't do it. Thought I could ignore this thread and leave it at that but nope. So lets talk about SOCIOECONOMIC FACTORS :happy: Please refer to google if you don't know what that means or believe that it's a synonym for "excuse". Please note: Not all factors affect "the poor" equally! Some people living…

There are so many ignorant or willfully hateful comments on here that it's just not worth the time, or other people have answered them better than I could. That being said, I take a lot of issue with the continued use of "the poor". It's a way of phrasing that is dehumanizing and removes community or society members from…

I think clean eating sufferers the same problem that a lot of things do in that the term itself conjures up a very moralistic "right vs wrong, clean vs dirty" kind of image, and that (coupled with the occasional but highly vocal minority of elitists who think their way of eating is the only "right" way) can set a lot of…

Posting this for people who want the reference: Height: 5' 6.5" Weight: 247 Bust: 47 Waist: 42 Hips: 52

I was going to post this too. The way the contestants are treated behind the scenes is reprehensible, and the longer the show goes on the worse it gets as they strive for new ways to "spice up" the same repetitive/episodic routine. Even in _front_ of the camera, the way that the trainers treat the contestants…

1.) Your body is amazing and awesome whatever the size, not disgusting, so like the poster above said, try to be kind to yourself. Loving your body and wanting to do what's best for it is far better motivation-wise than getting stuck in the self-critisizing cycle that's so easy to fall in to in our culture. 2.) The brain…

Quoting these because they're worth a second look: Thank you for mentioning poverty. A lot of people ignore the role of environmental and economic factors in obesity rates and disbursement. Just google "food desert" if you're unclear about how these factors play into health and body size. A disproportional amount of…
