Depends on what kind of pictures I could get. If I can't get a decent series with obvious cheating and clear faces I am keeping my mouth shut. No one ever believes the person who tells them their partner is going around behind their back. Even with pictures I'd have a hard time justifying saying anything. For one thing, I…

I have a horrible habit of jumping on the scale any time I'm in the bathroom. I have a weekly schedule for logging purposes though to maintain consistency. And if I notice I'm starting to worry too much about the number I drop a cape (like you wear when you get your hair cut) over it until my next weekly weigh in.

If he was just joking he would have stopped after you told him his comments were hurtful. At the very least he would have apologised. That he not only continued the comments, but tried to claim that you weren't viewing things "properly" takes his behaviour from insensitivity to emotional abuse. This is where you have two…

Yes, advertising targets children. It does so in large part because their parents buy them things when they whine. Parents have a responsibility to prepare their children for the world. That includes not giving them unhealthy things and teaching them how to understand advertising. Otherwise the child simply grows up and…

All leafy greens. I just don't like the way they feel in my mouth. I eat lettuce in salads only because it's a convenient vehicle for things I do like like cheese and avocado. I've tried putting them in smoothies, but I have a hard time drinking something green and I'm allergic to blueberries so I can't use them to mask…

When I was about three I told my mother I wouldn't eat anything but cookies because I was like Cookie Monster on Sesame Street. I even went so far as to colour my arms blue with magic marker and try to glue fur to myself. My mother told me that I was a human child and human children need healthy food to grow big and…

There are too many foods people make only during the Thanksgiving through New Year season for me to worry about calories. I just try to keep the best parts to the specific holidays and figure if I stall a bit it's not the end of the world. I can calorie count the rest of the year, I only get Auntie's delicious lemon…

Are you kidding? I'd snatch it right up. I'd make sure there were no blood splatters or anything, but if the only thing "wrong" with the place is that a kid died then I'd be all over it. Real estate is heading up again, homes below market value are hard to find. I'm also a very science-based person though. Ghosts don't…

I grew up eating kiwi, mango, and guava thanks to living in a warm climate. Now I get excited about fruits like Jonagold apples that other people barely pay attention to.

It's a basic math calculation. "We've estimated your basic caloric needs to be X. You have eaten Y calories below X. Therefore if you eat this exact same number of calories every day for the next five weeks you will have eaten 35Y calories less than your body used for fuel. Divide 35Y by 3500 to see that you'll have lost Z…

I don't find it odd to be friends with exes, but that's because everyone I've dated has started off as a friend. I feel like it's probably an easier transition to make than if you've only known someone in a romantic context.

Dude. Sit down and talk with your wife. Set aside a couple of hours to get to the root of the problem. Do not interrupt her. Do not offer advice if she is upset about something that has only to do with her (and if she doesn't specifically mention you don't assume you're included). Listen quietly, be sympathetic, and ask…

I kept trying things until I found ones I hate less. I don't think I'm ever going to *enjoy* calisthenics or running, but I like them a hell of a lot better than Zumba or weight lifting or anything that requires going to a gym. I do enjoy seeing how I've gotten stronger or faster and I use that to force myself to get…

I keep track of my sugar and sodium intakes because I have a family history of both diabetes and high blood pressure. Starting to keep track of protein, but it's not something I really worry about unless I've had nothing but carbs all day. Other that that I just try to make sure I have a healthy relationship with food.…

If you're concerned you might consider speaking to the instructor of your fitness class. Most teachers understand that exercise during prolonged fasting isn't exactly ideal and will make accommodations for religious observance.

Learning how to shop takes time. It can seem expensive at first because you don't know when your local stores have sales or what produce is better to buy canned/frozen or what the minimum you need to have on hand to make a decent meal is. Give it a couple of weeks, most people have a fairly standard set of foods they eat…
