I'm sorry, shrift. I hope not much herding is required.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
I'm so sorry, shrift. Good luck with the relatives.

I'm not watching the SotU. Obama wants to freeze non-defense discretionary spending for five years? That's idiotic.

He's talking numbers and I'm getting confused.
He also had a laugh line that went over like a lead balloon.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
Shrift, I'm sorry for your loss, and wish you mighty herding-fu.
Also not watching the SotU. Just...meh. I assume if snakes fall from the ceiling, it will be on YouTube within 20 seconds and then I can just re-watch in the comfort of my laptop.
And I do prefer bacon to oatmeal, in general, but I don't want bacon every day, which is what she's saying is okay. I think.
Yeah, that's what I took from it.
Me, too. I really like Michelle (Fat Nutritionist) and what a moderate, gentle approach toward food she takes.
Actually, this relates to a conversation I had recently about knowing the calorie counts at restaurants -- it made me feel fine about my occasional McD's meal, because on those days, it is the bulk of my food, and that actually works out to a reasonable calorie number in the end. Not a weight loss number, but I don't care about that.
I started tracking what I eat on Livestrong's MyPlate back in November (and then stopped when I got really sick, and re-started a couple of weeks ago), and what it always reminds me is that EVERYTHING COUNTS. I don't mean that in an obsessive way, like, "I can't have cream in my coffee because it adds 20 calories OMG!"
I mean it more in the sense of...it all adds up, like monetary debt. And faster than I think (also like monetary debt). And it's cool to see how exercise gives me a margin of more to eat (and yup, that's exactly how I look at it, which I don't think is a bad way to view exercise -- want to eat pumpkin cheesecake ice cream? 30 minutes on the bike is a fair tradeoff in my book).
And, honestly? It's shifted my perception a little bit about weight and/or weight gain. I am still all about fat acceptance, and I will cut anyone who starts in with me with the fat-hatin'. (Not here; I mean in general.) That said -- tracking my food has made me realize how easy it is to eat more (sometimes...uh, probably often...WAY more) than I think I'm eating. Because, like I said, EVERYTHING COUNTS.
None of that is in any way an attempt to explain why anyone other than me weighs what they do. People's bodies are their own, and I have no desire to accuse them of habits that I have no way of knowing whether they engage in. I'm just saying that, for me, I really had ignored how much I was really eating, because it's freaking easy to do.
(Also? Pumpkin cheesecake ice cream? Oh my god so good you will cry.)
