This girl at school? She told me that gelatin is made from ground-up cow's feet and that every time you eat Jell-O there's some cow out there limping around without any feet. But I told her that I'm sure the cow is dead before they cut its feet off, right?

I know my own heart and understand my fellow man. But I am made unlike anyone I have ever met. I dare to say I am like no one in the whole world. - Anne Lister

I need to get a smaller laptop. My back and neck are killing me and I'm pretty sure it's because I'm lugging my 8 lb. ThinkPad plus books in a backpack. I noticed pain last quarter but didn't put it together with the load on my back until the break, during which my pain ceased. Now it's back with a vengeance (in 5th week of 2nd qtr). GF says I should use a rolling bag but I am vain and already feel like the oldest lady that ever was on campus. So, I need a new small-ass laptop.

Shit's all sorts of different now.

Although I almost expected you to have had one made for yourself as well.

Heh. Not a bad idea. Sadly, the dresses came from American Girl. I could make a reasonable facsimilie, I suppose.

I think I'm going to try to make a bunch of summer stuff for her.

Probably not. Because I haven't told anyone but you guys.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

So... Did we know tattoos hurt? Because I feel I should have been warned given narcotics.

Oh, man. I had expected mine to hurt, but not as much as it actually DID hurt in parts.

But the endorphin rush afterwards was SPECTACULAR.

I've been doing the Weight Watchers Core diet lately, which seems to work pretty well for me.

I just started Core on Monday, and I'm having a hard time with the "stop eating when satisfied" part of the plan. Because I don't know what that feels like. I know what hungry feels like, and I know what stuffed feels like. But no in-between.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I know what hungry feels like, and I know what stuffed feels like. But no in-between.

Experiment with stopping halfway through your portion and listen to your stomach. If it isn't asking for more food, see how long it is before it does, and only eat again then.

It gets easier.

I’m responsible for my own happiness? I can’t even be responsible for my own breakfast! (Bojack Horseman)

Is that all in one go, or over the course of the day (I'd expect the former)?

Over the course of a day... so, 1 30 minute walk, 2 15 minute walks or 2 10 minute walks.

Any day I walk into Salem town and back, there's my 30 minutes!

When it gets nicer I'm going to start walking more to/from both train stations.

The key is figuring out that "not stuffed" =! "hungry". Which sounds stupid and obvious, but it's something I'm always working on reminding myself of.

(am I doing the thing with the not equal sign right?)

I'm doing a different plan, but I find that planning portion size before is key. Like my lunch yesterday. We had this Meatballs Stroganoff recipe from their book. 1 portion was 4 meatballs. I look at it going "Four! You're kidding, right?" I would neverever stop at four on my own, but I was fine. Ready for the afternoon snack, but that's actually good, because otherwise I have to make myself eat all 5 meals/snacks. Or, I had seven cheese puffs this weekend (actually about 1/4 of a serving, but since they're not on the diet at all...). Since I put seven on my plate, then walked to another room to sit down and eat, I only ate seven. (Really hoping I'm sounding helpful and not sanctimonious).
