Ouch! he cried

HAES… Needs to just go away… Fat Liberation, Fat Sexy, Body Positivity, Fat Spectrum are all socially damaging. Plus sized, Full figured are all phrases that are doing more damage than good. People need to feel fear, people need to feel guilt. Protecting everyone from that fear and guilt is literally like telling a druggy…

Hmm,a religious angle now. 🙃 I think most people recognise that a diet containing a good amount of whole foods is best - but that doesn't mean one cannot also eat things like aspartame or processed foods as part of an overall nutritious and calorie appropriate diet. I eat plenty of foods in their natural state - but even…

and float away.

Because everyone's weight fluctuates whatever diet type they are on

We often have salad for tea or sometimes something like chicken tenders on a salad base of course what you mean by salad can vary - and not all salads are equal calories, flavours, nutrition to others

I wouldn't quite call it vanity weight - when I was 10 kg over weight (about 22 lb) - losing that still improved my health and dropped my BMI into healthy weight range - from about 28 to 23 It is still about health not just appearance - unless you are already low to mid BMI range. However I agree the risks of 20lb…

I agree with theoldguy on this one.

^^ wouldn't it be rather hard to get the whole of Australia to change their standard terminology though?

wouldn't those general anasthetic operations be done in hospitals? GP ( general practitioner or your primary care doctor) surgery - is the name, while the standard term used here, perhaps misleading you since, other than very minor local anaesthetic procedures such as small skin cancers removed,it is not a place for…

could you explain what a doctors office is and then I can answer that one?

dental surgery? operating theatre surgery? hospital surgery?

did you know I work in a GP surgery?

They print them from computer and then just sign them or send the barcode to your phone - is this just a thing in my country? Have none of you come across this?

I just don't think it is that deep. sure, if you super analyse the body shapes they might not be exactly true to life but neither are they wildly out there either and the ad is making no claims about the pants influencing body shapes.

I'm not getting the issue - the representation of the bodies in the pants advertised doesn't seem abnormal to me, nor is any claims being made about the pants contributing to any body shape. 🤷‍♀️

do you not have scripts printed from computer there? and the other alternative - scripts sent to your phone?

given how atrocious doctors handwriting is, isnt it so much better now we have computer printed scripts?

like her dreams

"Where I am located the base EGFR test is included with any yearly blood-work I've ever done irrespective of other health concerns." yes ,exactly - egfr is a component of regular blood tests which arguably people over 60ish should be getting done yearly anyway for cholesterol, glucose etc checks This will easily show if…

of course it is possible - presuming you are not already under weight

is that not usually the case? . that left handed people then kick footballs etc with their left foot?

what if she types with her toes? is something strange afoot? 😜🙃

rise again tomorrow.

lunch break over!

Limit drinks to water, coffee or sugar-free tea. I get that you were only answering for yourself and that is what you do. But just adding to that - sugar free coke is available everywhere here and I usually order that as my drink. Followed by a cappacino at end of meal in lieu of dessert.
