It's petty and wrong of me to take so much delight in seeing my sister, and oldest brother, both of whom used to not only be skinny but make fun of my pudge, wearing double chins, isn't it?
We're not gonna die. We can't die, Bendis. You know why? Because we are so very pretty. We are just too pretty for God to let us die.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.

Only in as bad as it is for me to be horrified by the fact that some neighbor boy I went to high school with (but don't remember) who bought his parents' house, and saw my little sister at my parents' house, thought it was me. And these days, she and I don't really look anything alike. And it makes me want to go home and be fabulous, and loiter about, and be like "HELLOOOOOO, silly neighbor boy I don't even remember! No! Look, I am WAY more fabulous than you remember, and have turned out WONDERFUL!"
But then I feel terrible, because clearly, that is saying terrible things about what I think my sister looks like these days. Ahem. (She did that whole "get married, and get fat and happy" thing...)

It's petty and wrong . . .
Then I don't wanna be right.

omnis, pursue. That's an order from a shy woman who can use M-16. - Shir
Clearly I skipped the married part of the equation, damn it. However, I am burning more calories and riding farther, and my legs aren't all wet-noodles! Plus, the belly has lost the shelf ability. And I tried a third machine, rowing, tonight! Maybe I'll loose this belly yet! And I am *not* stepping on a scale anytime soon. I'm sure the actual weight loss is less than what I think, so no need to depress myself with how little I have done.

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!
weight isn't the issue ,o_a. because you could be gaining muscle ( and non noodle legs says you are) so the weight could be the same , even if you have lost fat. making yourself stronger is a good enough reason to go forward.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
The actual weight loss is less important than the rest of it. Good for you, omnis.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
o_a, what beth said. Exercise to make yourself stronger; if the weight happens, it happens.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
Barb, thanks for the research! I think I'll send an e-mail to that address and see what happens. I will say that if I don't get a response within the week, I will be calling Mazda.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
...interesting. I bought a package of vegan bleu cheese today. I just tried it, and it does taste just like bleu cheese. Well, just like cheap bleu cheese, but still. I crumbled some of it into my salad for tomorrow's lunch.
