I’ve struggled with my weight all my life (tried SlimFast for the first time in 3rd grade. Got made fun of by other kids cause they thought I was such a pig I was just drinking chocolate milk for lunch...because the logic of 3rd graders)

I use MFP and it recommends calories based on your height, weight, and activity level. It recommends 1680 calories a day for me.

There used to be a really fascinating documentary on Netflix about people who did this; they fed their families off of food they got dumpster diving, and the whole point of their documentary was to try and point out how much food we waste that is perfectly fine for consumption. At one point, they tried to get…

Story time: My family and I went to Yellowstone about 6 years ago now, and were doing a couple short hikes on our first day there. I can’t remember the name of the particular hike, but it was sort of semicircular and had some bubbly mud pots on one side on the way up and like hot water bubbly pots (the scientific…

Kate, have you seen St. Trinian’s and St. Trinian’s 2: the Legend of Fritton’s Gold? Because based solely off of your love of PP and PP2 I am strongly recommending that you watch them if you haven’t! Good-feeling, happy movies, with tons of girl power and very little romance at all.

And, from what I understand, significantly more cost effective than the death penalty.

I’ll give you that their breadsticks are good when they’re hot, but when they cool off they’re like buttery-flavored cardboard to me. Bread shouldn’t get that hard so fast!

I don’t get the Olive Garden love. There’s a lovely tiny authentic Italian place right in my hometown that tastes about a zillion times better for about the same price and portion sizes, and for the life of me I can’t get my Olive Garden addict of a sister to eat there. Why?! What is it about Olive Garden that people…

Can I submit my mom? She makes delicious waffles, regardless of what waffle appliance is in front of her. It’s a skill I did not inherit.

A MONTH. $6 for each of them, totaling $18 a month. It was so heartbreaking to watch my nieces beg for cucumbers or artichokes or carrots and have my sister have to tell them no. And WIC stops giving your kid checks once they hit 6 years old. Cause 0-5 year olds need nutrition, but older kids don’t?? I mean I assume…

I actually really love the new Lorax movie. I thought I would hate it, and it was my favorite Seuss book as a kid, so I was super protective of it. But when it came to theaters my niece, who shares my love of the book, wanted to see it so I took her and I have to say I liked it. And the music was pretty good. I have…

It told me I look 27. I’m really 27. I was slightly disappointed it didn’t say younger.

I ate a blueberry bagel with blueberry cream cheese and a powerade. Every single day of high school, because it was sold in the lunch room, but was a dollar cheaper than school lunch.

Just echoing what everyone else has said at this point, but my first assumption was either allergies or junk food association? I think people assume peanut butter = bad, when it’s the white bread + sugary jelly that makes the pb&j unhealthy (but oh so delicious).

I was like “Yeah, okay, I can see that maybe the school felt the need to tell parents to stop giving their kids unhealthy food,” and then I got to this line

I have died. I am dead. This picture caused my death. LOOK AT HIS LITTLE TEETHIES

Their dancing is great, but the most amazing part of this for me is that kids as young as 3 (the tiny one in the white shirt and pink jeans looks about 3 to me, yes?) can follow a choreographed routine so well...my niece is 4 and an adorable little dancer, but uh...she doesn’t follow her teacher’s set routine. She…

For real though, what is the cause of the Subway smell? I used to work near-ish a Subway, and when the lunch hour was over and everyone wandered back in, you could tell who went to Subway because they had that weird slightly-reminiscent-of-vomit Subway smell all over them. It clings.

I don’t really get this. You’re so far removed from your ancestors that I don’t see how this is really any different than knowing that your country once allowed slavery. It’s not like you did it, so why should you feel shame for something your great-great-whatever did hundreds of years ago? Recognize that it was an…

I’m enrolled in a couple gym classes through my university, and I kind of like the look of all the multicolored crazy shoes when the class is all lined up for something. :)
