I appreciate the attempt at balancing the scales here but it seems as though this would really only serve to amplify the importance of physical appearance. Maybe it’s just me but I’m not attracted to the vast majority of men and would rather they downplay their need to judge women by appearance than for me to upplay…

Wait- what!?

Go to the damn doctor. You’ve spent two weekends in bed? That’s not a cold, pal.

She gives shit to mainstream beauty ideals and how she can still get laid anytime, which is not the same thing as never minding your diet or exercising.

That Amy Schumer thing sounds pretty much like an extremely overblown situation mostly made up by the magazine. Like, if I was famous and I was being turned away for forgetting my membership card, I think that’s one scenario where “You know who I am” is pretty valid since it’s unlikely someone would be pretending to…

writing in caps doesn’t burn calories.

Good LORD, woman, eat a fucking muffin because you sound hangry.

To be clear, in NYC, if there are 15 or more of a chain establishment, calories must be posted. Otherwise, it’s at the business’s discretion. I’ve lived in NYC for many years. The voluntary “calorie listing” situation is only popular in a few neighborhoods (midtown). Good luck finding anything about calories posted…

You’re a 100% right! Great reply.

How about taking some amazingly really sound advice without being sarcastic? It seems like you’re looking for people to just agree with you and tell you that it’s okay if you don’t properly exercise and it’s okay if you eat whatever you want. And IT IS OKAY as long as you are aware that you will not be losing weight…

I really didn’t think she was being fake at all! The author makes a few comments about not being able to come to terms or get around something and I felt like titania’s post was well-meaning and not condescending. The worst thing you can accuse her of is naively misunderstanding the fact that the author only wanted…

Blimey, that's a bit harsh...

Jesus. Reverting to Professional Bridesmaid Automatic Agreeing With Everything You Say mode, stat!

“all the cafes and counters have their calories listed (this is a New York thing, for people who do not live in New York)“

So true. And so many people exercise in ways that aren’t going to change their bodies. Doing 5 days a week on the elliptical isn’t going to do shit. Doing 3 days of heavy resistance training (working to failure on the last rep) plus 2 days of HIIT training is going to make a huge difference. Lifting heavy weights is…

Weights! Never underestimate weights, especially for those of us with sedintary jobs. Building some extra muscle mass (especially lower body) does wonders for your resting BMR.

I was doing long distance running and found that when I stopped running 10+ miles on the weekend and six miles during the week a couple of times ( I switched to 3 -4 miles during the week and then 6 - 7 on weekends), I was a lot less hungry and dropped a ton of weight. With running, less is sometimes more.

The good news is, there is no way to do 135 crunches a day correctly, if by correctly you mean “in a way that will make a goddamn bit of difference,” particularly given your diet, so I think you can probs relax about them. The only restaurants in New York required to post calorie counts are chain restaurants with…

Two ees is feminine. AND NO ONE DESERVES TO BE BEATEN. NO ONE. Being bitchy and small? Well, you were bitchy and small. That does not make you worthy of nothing but being a psycho’s punching bag.

Indeed the stock picture is a picture of making stock ingredients
