I think registries are SUPER tacky. It’s an outdated tradition that made sense when people got married at 18 and had nothing. If you’re in your late 20s, have been living together for years, then you really have everything you need and if you don’t already have a specific house ware by now you probably won’t really…

Maybe this is because I grew up as A Poor but the whole concept of wedding registries seems kind of weird to me. I mean I realize people do this all the time so it’s technically normal, but I just can’t wrap my mind around it.

So stupid. The reason their sales are plummeting is the same reason Lululemon etc sales are plummeting: they got too greedy. The price of the clothing has crept up while the quality has dropped drastically. I’m not spending $150+ on some paper-thin piece of sweatshop crap that will pill and unravel after two washes.…

NO, THIS IS NOT WHY. The REASON is that you introduced a ton of new cropped pants in DECEMBER, forcing everyone with an inseam of greater than 28” to find somewhere else to buy work-appropriate pants, nevermind that ALL of your blouses, sweaters, tops, etc have been structured like weird, cropped boxes or ponchos. The…

That’s the best part!!

I’m on day 2 of not smoking, and fuck you all

I would add that, unless they ask you to, don’t heckle them when you see them smoking or slipping up. We know we are slipping up, and your shaming/scolding/literally slapping a cigarette out of our hands (may god have mercy on your soul if you do this) does not help one bit.

The whole language around smoking cessation needs to change. We don’t tell alcoholics to “quit.” We don’t tell heroin users to “quit.” We tell them not to feed their disease this minute, and then this hour, and then today, and so on.

I actually have a pretty darn flat stomach, am slender, and 99% of those jeans make me look like a sack of fat tied with rubber bands. Fuck those jeans. I vote we steal them all in the dead of night and make one hell of a bonfire.

Mmm, pasta...

Seriously. Crunches will develop your underlying musculature, not reduce fat. I wish the idea that you could burn fat from specific areas would go die. If you wanna burn abdominal fat you have to reduce total body fat, so do HIIT and start lifting heavy weights.

Guy walks into a bar at 1:55am as the lights are getting turned on and drunk people are filing out.

Swap diet pills for laxatives and I’d swear you were me.

Yuuuuuup. I got so many comments on how well I looked and attention from guys (which I was *not* used to) when inside I was screaming for someone to notice something was wrong. But it was like a drug, I fed off the compliments as well. God. That was years ago and I still struggle with my body every single day.

I’ve never really gone through too much problematic eating, but I have a pretty low body/face self esteem. I have pretty much always been slim but when people dote over my weight I feel so uncomfortable, especially when they use my body to complain about their own (my boyfriend’s mom does this). I don’t know how to…

When I was starving and abusing myself, I got “wow, you should model!” comments. I knew they didn’t know what I was doing. My friends were really concerned but didn’t know what to say. I never comment on someone losing or gaining, unless I know they’re doing it healthfully. I know someone doing Weight Watchers and is…

I think this is exactly what many people don’t understand. They’ll see an overweight girl and dismiss anorexia as attention seeking behavior but not an issue because if she’s not rail thin. I’ve heard the “if she has an eating disorder she’s not very good at it” said about a friend of mine.

And the whole speech Amelia gave her about how she can’t say anything until the person she cares about the most in the world dies? I was like, oh, Derek is dead in 2 episodes.

Yep. At the end of the episode before the death episode when they showed 5:00 and the flashing police lights, I was like, welp, McDreamy is dead.

I think you have to feel out your particular stylist. My current one is not a big chatter, while the woman who works next to her is. It’s hard for me because I combat my social anxiety with constant chatter (weird I know), and I hate having to be quiet. But I’ll do it for the gorgeous job my stylist does!
