Not necessarily. There are lots of people, like my husband and me, who save up for one big splash-out meal per year. Not that we would choose Per Se when there are better places for less money in New York, but don't write off everyone who spends money on a food experience as a coked out hedge fund dude bro.

It’s similar with my sister, and really frustrating because she’s always treated like some paragon of virtue. It’s quite clearly orthorexia, and exercise addiction, but because she’s extremely thin and healthy looking, no one says shit, yet I still get crap for my weight even after losing 50 pounds. Sucks.

Haha yeah right. They will start raising a huge fuss and have the manager come over who will end up giving them free food and no tip for you. They have the upper hand and they know it.

I went to an international school in Asia with a bunch of kids from all over the continent. Many of them (not all, but many) were under TREMENDOUS pressures. I had a friend Sophomore year who’s mom was so strict we kind of had to stop being friends, sadly. She wasn’t allowed to participate in any clubs after school,…

I’m aware of that, and I have let loose on her in the past when it really wasn’t called for. However, she will never, ever admit she has a problem. She is as physcially healthy as it is possible for a person to be. She receives continual reinforcement from family praising her for being so “healthy”. I am the bad one.…

Call her out! See what she says. I would imagine that the three months pregnant line elicits a lot of sympathy donations. At least, it worked on me.

AH! Are you in Austin?? One time, I saw a girl panhandling at the stoplight near my neighborhood. I normally never gave money to panhandlers, but here was this young, cute girl who really didn’t look like she belonged out there. Anyway, I roll down the window and she gives me a sob story about how she’s 3 month’s…

I think it’s perfectly ok to send back a steak that isn’t cooked properly. Steak is expensive, no matter where you’re eating it, and it should be cooked to your specification. I have started ordering rare in most middling restaurants because for some reason medium rare tends to mean medium or even medium well around…

Jen had no motive. Peeing streaker guy doesn’t hold up under scrutiny. Random serial killer doesn’t really hold up, either. It had to be Adnan.

Incorrect. Beets taste delicious.

His movies still make money, though, because stupid people. So there are people out there grubby enough to keep making them.

I’ve been doing Keto since January and I love it. I’m down 25 pounds, energy is up, and I just don’t get hungry the way I used to. It’s really been a godsend for me. I can see myself eating carbs on special occasions like anniversaries and Thanksgiving, but I just can’t see going back to a carb-heavy diet like before.

No. I just go ahead and say “extra olives” instead of “olives.” Then I don’t have to communicate my desire for more than a scant sprinkling of olives more than once.

But the difference, I think, is that Gaga's created persona is actually of her own choosing and she doesn't get her face slapped on any old thing her handlers want to slap it on. I am starting to think that the only control Guy has over his persona and product are the recipes he publishes. The restaurants, and DDD…

I am pretty convinced my sister has orthorexia. She is obsessed with food she finds healthy, over the years she has gradually cut out all previous "cheats" (her word, not mine) like ice cream or pasta, and it has come between us in a serious way. We are almost estranged at this point, mainly because of her attitude…

It really didn't agree with me. Those cheat Saturdays screwed me up, too. I actually GAINED weight on that diet! I know it works for a lot of people, though. I met someone who lost over 100 pounds doing the diet plus his exercise plan.

My father has heart disease and has lost a ton of weight and got his numbers way down just doing the American Heart Association diet. It's free online and there are a lot of good tips.

I'm not a fan of Weight Watchers because it's too low fat and they push too much processed crap. I have been on WW several times, and the entire time I always, always, always feel hungry. I can go like that for several months then I'll just lose my mind and gain, like, twenty pounds in four months. I'm looking into a…

Uugh, worst diet for me ever. I hate beans. He wants you eating fucking beans all the time. I was miserable. My husband lost a ton.

There are prescription diet pills like Phentermine that are basically pharmaceutical speed. You DO indeed lose a lot of weight on them. When I took Phentermine, I would eat a normal healthy portion and my body would literally make me stop eating when I was full. At the time I couldn't help but wonder if that's what…
