I can’t do it with two jobs and a household to care for.

And by corners of the church, I assume you misspoke and meant the WHOLE damn thing right? Once leadership is in on it, the ENTIRE church is corrupt. RICO them, and if they ACTUALLY believe in Jesus let them form a new church. Maybe they can rent their old buildings from the victims.

His wife isn’t allowed to grieve now? Or does the rape case somehow make the crash that killed 9 people any less tragic or make this any less traumatic for the remaining family members, including this poor woman who just lost her husband and daughter?

Here’s the thing about obese adults: a large number of them experienced childhood trauma and abuse. Regardless of what we learned or were taught, that shit gets in the way of everything, including forming healthy habits. Trauma does that. In fact, research is showing it permanently affects people’s metabolism and…

The last time I went in for an exam I was dreading the weigh in/now feel bad portion, and was thrilled when I got on the scale because instead of the numbers being there, there was a sign saying “we take your weight as a vital statistic to help keep track of your state of health. It has nothing to do with your worth…

I hate HATE the stupid BMI check and the seeming required ‘talk’ the CNAs and med assistants at drs offices seem to have to give.

You may “learn” about exercise and healthy diet, but if it is not modeled and proper foods and portions are not available to you, you end up in an unhealthy cycle.

Been here, nearly identical myself. Sometimes those in the medical profession suck the most, because more than others, they are supposed to help, and you know..that whole do no harm nor injustice hippocratic oath bit, means we give them unearned trust.

I went to see my doctor yesterday for depression. I’m not sure if the nurse couldn’t help herself or it’s a state law or some shit, but after we did all the check in stuff, as she was leaving the room, she told me my BMI and that “diet and exercise was recommended.”

And somehow people are never very happy about your “secret” being something real and tangible, and not some easy-fix diet. My “secret” was that I was working out 5 days a week and eating half of what I used to. That shut the conversation down right quick.

A friend of mine is losing significant weight right now, and is at the point where people can confidently exclaim about it without wondering whether or not they’re correct in their observations. So I’ve seen her get a lot of “Wow, you look great!” and “What’s your secret??” kind of thing. When people ask her what…

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.

Aww, pumpkin, let’s find y’all a hobby that’s not silently judging fat people, you li’l creeper!

For children it is very difficult to fight the influences and choices of your parents. You may “learn” about exercise and healthy diet, but if it is not modeled and proper foods and portions are not available to you, you end up in an unhealthy cycle. When you become an adult, often change seems daunting, especially if…

I think the problem is mostly how they advertised it in a way (look at that super cool cutscene...) and in the end the game has... Generic animations... Plus, it’s pretty expensive for what it offers. I’m probably gonna dust off the original game instead. There is much better games I can get for that price tag. The…

I liked Ross at the time the show was on. Then I re-watched many years later and found his character was pretty mean and controlling, especially to Rachel about her job and interests. You think fashion is stupid. Fine. Don't be a smug dick about it though.

Serious answer but also a guess: Most people who kill will only kill someone they know/have been intimate with. So the people who make these decisions don’t view them as a threat to “society” as a whole because they aren’t going to become mass murderers.

I still get angry when this comes up, especially in the same conversation as Friends. I cannot overstate how important and amazing Living Single was to woc like me everywhere when it came out, and it just got better and funnier and edgier. All the episodes are on Hulu, ladies! It’s worth the monthly fee alone (of…

I went through the list, and I attended mass with some of these priests. I wonder how many of my friends were potentially molested by these people. I was never sexually abused, but I was sent to schools with corporal punishment (pretty brutal — public paddling and hitting kids with rulers, etc.). I pretty much have…
