Back tattoos of the mother is that you are absolutely right - Ame

It's blocking your chakras or something.

Aren't you supposed to breath through your eyelids when that happens? Or wear a black garter belt. Something like that.

Or, say, finish cleaning your closet?

Good luck with Tiger, sarameg!

The first couple days are the hardest. The first few months of your first diet will be easy, because it's new, and you'll see quick results.

Does it really matter, if you're counting calories, what those calories come from? Like...maybe some carbs sometimes would be okay? Because I seriously love my carbs. But I've technically only committed to this thing for four weeks. So that's what I keep telling myself whenever my big baby whining gets too much for even me.

Thanks, Kristin! I would've responded earlier, but I only just got back home.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

IME it takes time to learn what works for you on a calorie restricted diet. I would try one thing at a time, and when you feel confident that you have a good handle on what you consume and what works for you, what satisfies you, etc. -- then maybe worry about carbs. But trying to do both is not very realistic for anything more than a crash diet.

Well, a calorie is a calorie in terms of weight gain. I think where the difference is is what satisfies you (physically, emotionally, etc.) so that you can keep to X number of calories.

Wait, I'm not sure I understand. Are you saying I should worry about the calories first, then worry about cutting out the carbs? Because I'm actually not finding it that hard to count calories. And I totally had a bean and cheese burrito that I felt a little guilty about at lunch. But it was only $0.99! And all my other meals were much healthier. And delicious. But will get boring over time.

Is that Mayan? Or Aztec? Never can remember...

I now want pie too, but I can't chew (new braces).

Huh. I don't want pie. This is something of a first for me. Normally if you dropped me in the Kalahari for a week and then offered me a choice of rescue or pie I'd have to think about it.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

The Mayans were the ones with hallucinogenic suppositories, which gets around the unpleasant fact that most of the magic mushrooms have a tendency to make you vomit.
