I was mixing and matching things from the planned daily diets

I considered this, but thought - "Nah, too much thinking." Just trying to figure out substitutions for the things we WILL NOT eat is more than enough extra thinking for me.

Doing it with someone else would be so much easier.

If I do the diet again, I may skip the first week and just do the Phase II section.

You're more than welcome to join Mom and me next Monday! (I don't know that online support would be enough for me, but, well, feel free if you'd like!)

Rounding out my diet with fruits and veggies and backing off on the sweets is what I need more than anything, so...

See, I'm more savory than sweet, plus a Carb Fiend. So, I needed specific recommendations on amounts of bread, or crackers, or whatever, allowed. I think the portion control is a good lesson as well. We are just trained to eat ridiculous huge portions.

And I think everyone realized that I was about to lose it, because I've seen hide nor hair of anyone else since The Meeting Of Most Certain Death.

Perhaps not as cathartic as actual bloodletting, but no doubt a relief nonetheless. (And no extra drycleaning!)

I think the portion control is a good lesson as well. We are just trained to eat ridiculous huge portions.

Portion control and what an actual portion size looks like are the two most useful things I've learned from Weight Watchers. Plus the just go for a walk. No, it's not a hard-core workout, but it's better than sitting around mindset. Which I slack on sometimes, but sometimes is better than not at all.

Any other week I would, but with all this shit, the answer is a resounding "hell fuck no."

People are climbing up down and all over my ass, and I shouldn't be defending myself this much, since I am an HOURLY EMPLOYEE, for the love of the crying Baby Jesus.

Hey GC - have you heard the new Kristin Hersh album yet? It's awesome!

I have heard snippets and it does sound great! Kristin can pretty much do no wrong.

I have to wonder if Aimée will ever do anything else ever again.

Great. Thanks, Robin. Now she'll be up all night either

a) Muttering "Let me help you with that wand"

or

b) Trying to come up with some faux Latin spell that means "Quidditch robes evaporate!"

Silly Miracleman, Aims will merely join us all in becoming even more vocal about "Where's that damn teleporter you promised?!"

And not all that special. Age of consent in England and California is 16. IJS.

This doesn't stop you being a cradle-snatching perv, you know. Same goes for you, Cass.

Huh. I guess it is 18 for California. Ooops.

Okay, start running, Aims. I'll find some one-armed man to pin it on.

Never in my life have I ever wished to be a horse before.

Nope. Too easy. mmmmmph. nnng. *titter*

I have to wonder if Aimée will ever do anything else ever again.

Nope. Never. I'm going to quit my job and see if I can't make living being a cradle-snatching perv.

Nope. Too easy. mmmmmph. nnng. *titter*

I'd be interested in seeing the reaction to a full frontal Emma Whatshername.

I'd probably say "Needs more meat on her". I like curves, me.

And do you really want to rake up gender comparisons considering the odd looks any adult male would get letching after an under-age girl? I thought not, Empress Pervy I.

P.S. Neener.

You are a good man.

And do you really want to rake up gender comparisons considering the odd looks any adult male would get letching after an under-age girl?

You are right. It is a double standard and that is sucky.

Empress Pervy I.

I need the t-shirt.

PS. Neener right back.

Oh, you fiend. You have totally nuked my kerfauxful with all your damnable agreeing.

Humph.

Don't forget to give Joe an earful about the teleporter.

Don't forget to give Joe an earful about the teleporter.

You betchum

And I have to agree when people are with the sense making!!

(Besides, I knew that'd chap yer ass more than me trying to argue with you. Muah. Ha. Ha.)
