My only critique here is that Diet Coke is worse than regular coke. Honestly I would just recommend slowly weaning off coke and replacing it with more water and doing that with like nuun tablets or something else tasty. 

I few years back I worked out with a certified personal trainer. (A family member was dying of cancer and I wasn’t eating very much just then [and was consequently a bit underweight] or getting enough physical activity. in other words, not taking care of myself). At the end of the two months of twice weekly sessions I…

Honestly, me too. The have morbidly obese people Box Jumping in the ads for ffs... Box Jumping... I weigh 200 lbs, athletic and I don’t box jump because its tough on my knees and ankles. I can only imagine what an obese person feels like while doing it.

Oh holy shit The Swan!! That was fucking train-wreck tv right there. All I really remember is everyone wound up with the same creepy ultra-white Chiclet teeth. Even if their original teeth were fine to begin with.

Well Bob Harper himself nearly died of a massive heart attack so it is odd that the person who is teaching the contestants to be healthy to ‘save their lives’ nearly died from a heart attack while exercising.

And people wonder how Dump reinvented himself into the White House. This is literally his schitck that he performed gleefully for years on his own reality show: cruelty and judgement distilled into a hit of sweet, evil dopamine for people eager to “other” everybody they can.

Is that the one where the prize was plastic surgery? 

Honestly, this. ESPECIALLY when Jillian Michaels was at the helm.

I'm surprised no one has died on this show

The only thing worse for body image than this horrible show was The Swan. Remember that shit show?

The whole genre of reality television-themed game shows (i.e., where there is a winner and many losers) has always been more about voyeuristic cruelty than it is about the greater aspirations of the individual candidates. I’m old enough to remember when American Idol first premiered and was an overnight sensation in…

Don't Trust The Kevin In Apartment 27

EXACTLY. I don’t know when the “I don’t need no stinkin’ expert” phenomenon began and I can only hope it’ll reach its zenith soon, but I wish people would even consider the notion that a layperson cannot correctly assess everything. If you are even remotely familiar with diagnostic criteria, let alone discerning it in…

You’re really missing the point of what these awards are. I’m an American woman who lives in the UAE. These awards are supposed to encourage men to support women in the workplace and to hire/train/support more women within the federal workforce. Apparently these guys all run divisions who succeeded in diversifying the…

Thank you. <3 That was really kind. I didn’t want to shift focus to my situation, but felt it was appropriate to share because these stories can be triggering as hell for people who have been abused. I was able to get out eventually, but there’s no doubt in my mind I wouldn’t be here if I had stayed.

I hope you are entirely safe, and I’m glad you’re still with us.

My God, don’t worry about making this story about you, take care of you. I hope you’re safer now, and having help healing. EMDR helped me live around (can’t quite say ‘live with’) my worst trauma. I can’t imagine how awful stories like this are for someone with a similar experience.

I probably shouldn’t say this but my first thought was that he may have ejaculated on her face while while she lay there dying— and the bleach spray was a means of destroying “evidence.” It makes sense to me, especially if he is this sick.

jesus christ why the bleach? holy fuck no wonder women are justifiably frightened of men

You’re right. I mean, she was drinking alcohol, she might as well be pouring bleach on her face. Arghh.
