Actually, I think everyone should just be referred to fitday. I learned a TON just tracking what I was eating.
Kaylee: So how many fell madly in love with you and wanted to take you away from all this? Inara: Just the one. I think I'm slipping.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

So true. But I found myself going, "OMIGOD! I DID NOT EAT ENOUGH PROTEIN! I MUST EAT A CAN OF TUNA BEFORE MY MUSCLES WITHER AND DIE!"
Because, as I've stated before, I am a fool.

Or, you might possibly be my mother.
When it comes to food -- or any personal habits, really, self-flagellation is so much more decorous than the flagellation of others.

Well, you know, where's the challenge in the "Eat Better and Exercise" plan?
My work-wife (okay, work-'sband) would go through these phases where he'd skip breakfast to lose weight. So he'd be pissy until he carbo-loaded at noon. Whenever I tried to explain the basic principles he be all "No, that can't be. Just not eating should do it, so I'm skipping breakfast!"
Of course, I seem to be having a problem with the eating-right-and-exercising thing at the moment myself.

Me, too. I'm thinking cutting out the half-pint of whipping cream that I put in my morning quart of coffee will help fairly dramatically, though.

My dad is like that. He truly believes that eating as little as possible is the only way to lose weight. He's a 160-lb man, and he thinks 1200 calories/day might be too much for him. I've tried to explain the whole thing where if you don't eat enough, your body thinks it's starving (because, you know, IT IS), and therefore hangs onto every last calorie. And the part where you need to fuel your body so that it can continue to, you know, EXIST.
Fortunately his willpower is weaker than the grip with which he clings to his insane notions, and he eats way more than 1200 calories/day. He has one hell of a sweet tooth.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
Ignoring all the healthy eating talk for a moment
I just discovered that a) today is ice cream day here, and b) they had the ice cream shipped in from Graeters.
Mebbe I'll look at Fitday tomorrow.

WOOT!!!! What flavors??? Eat the chip flavors. And then move on to the non-chip flavors. Eat it all. Especially if they included pumpkin.
