"You have to love yourself enough to know that you're worthy of a healthy lifestyle" YES!!!!!! so much love for you right now Internet stranger :D you're so right, I had to get to the point where I thought "fuck this I deserve better! I deserve to be able to walk up stairs without huffing or hurting my knees!" Before…

You must understand what I mean right? I have a friend who lost 10kg by literally doing nothing but drinking green tea for two months. TWO MONTHS! All for a magic number on a scale. Now her number is larger but she's much healthier because I got worried and made her join in my workouts and change her diet to, well,…

I'm not saying one negates the other, quite the complete opposite. What I was mentioning about being unhappy about is that my weight loss tends to be celebrated over and above my increased strength, which is ironic because my actual weight hasn't changed, it's my body composition that has. I was commenting on how the…

Especially having grown up Hindu (not religious now but still), these pictures really really hit me hard. They're incredibly powerful.

Right?? Everytime I stack on an extra set of weights when weight training, and successfully complete my sets, I want to run (okay, hobble slowly) all the way home and jump (haha as if) up and down and yell it out to everyone "YEAH I DID IT, AND I'M ONLY GONNA GET BETTER!!!". Why can't that be celebrated instead of my…

Of course, if you do it the wrong, fad-influenced way. I was at 60kg last year in june, and 27% body fat (with 2kg visceral fat, the kind that leads to health problems in the future) and got there by working out 3x a week and having a balanced and healthy diet. Then I went backpacking for 8weeks and gained 13kg of…

Oh, I have to add, he got expelled because he ran in with the wrong crowd, drugs and what have you. But then he went "fuck this" and worked hard for his diploma. Never got his degree but he's one of the most intelligent people I know and to this day, the only man I've met who truly challenges me, in all ways mental,…

While I agree some points that people nitpick when it comes to choosing someone can be rather arbitrary, I find that quite a few have basis in real requirements to a relationship. For example, I always thought "has a university degree" was a big point in my choosing a partner. Along with relatively fit, and is in the…

He was super cheesy had a weird walk and wore a baseball cap with his collar popped sometimes. Annoyed the fuck out of me, but now I love them all (except the popped collar, he just does that to tease me now the jerk :) )

Ugh I run away from serial monogamists. I find something has to be rather off if you keep 'falling in love' again and again. Probably filling a void. My longest relationship since I was 18 lasted 7months, and 5 years later I met a man, within 3 months I knew this was it, and bam - married in 5months. Totally get you.…

Actually there are, because a lot of guys like that tend to be arrogant or little boys. Those aren't the only qualifications for a relationship. I had the same, and took me five years before finding someone who both fit them enough (give or take a little on definition of fit, etc) and still was amazing and beautiful…

Also, ignore those who judge you because you want a man who takes care of his body. I get that you by no means expect a 6pack, but health is a huge indicator of personal pride and confidence. Actually both my man and I packed on honeymoon weight and so we decided to get a home gym and work out together. Not like I'm…

Stick it out! I was exactly the same (down to the letter) and after an intense LDR I started casually dating around for 5 years with no real interest to settle, or settle down. Then, in the middle of a holiday, while travelling in a country on the other side of the world, I met my now husband. He wasn't by any means…

I don't know if this has already been said, but as a Literature major I have to say I LOVED the double entendre on the 'dick' (as in the adjective and the noun) - don't know if your daughter was consciously aware of it when she wrote it, either way it's brilliant!!

Edit - anal sex between men is still illegal, I mean. I'm not too sure about oral at the moment (it used to be,though, obviously) but yup, it's illegal to be gay in Singapore. Granted, they insist they won't use the law to persecute anyone, that it's just there for show...but. I'm sure I don't have to mention why…

Actually, oral and anal sex were illegal in Singapore for many years. Now it's just anal...between men.

You're referring to xkcd's 'The Imposter'! I'd link it but my phone's weird. I'm a lit major and it makes me laugh, he gets away with faking through classes and that's so me the week after a weekend bender in Thailand :D
