I just turned 27 (two days ago :( ) and I certainly do not feel like an adult *sigh*

RE: everyone in this article:

I was pretty cynical about Essena’s decleration’s against social media, but now I’m totally on her side. Fuck this noise. If you’ve gone from 15-22 without a week where you try and remove all representation of your former self (including two days ago) in some sort of existential protest about capitalism/feminism/the…

Not only are all four of these people the fakiest fakes, I am starting to doubt that Australia is real.

If your goal is fat loss, about 80-90% of your success (or lack thereof) will come from your diet. There are plenty of goals that exercise will help, but the majority of people don’t understand that exercise isn’t the most important thing for fat loss.

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

Yup. Exercising is to keep your body fit and healthy, not to lose weight.

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

I’ve honestly considered manual labor because at least then when I do have free time I’ll never need to go to the gym ever.

Yeah. You actually just have to eat like...nothing but the most nutritive stuff, in as little quantities as you can. >< Diet beats exercise every day.

“Were”?! You know those rhinestones that everyone is crazy about these days, the glass ones that sparkle like stars? They are up to 30% (or more, manufacturers are extremely secretive about their recipes) LEAD.

The conventional wisdom is that weightloss is 80% diet and maintenance is 80% exercise. I lost some weight by calorie counting, aka Most Boring Thing in the World, and now I’m trying to get more exercise into my routine to maintain it.

Diet is the main key.

It's so true, I didn't lose any weight until about 2 solid months of intense dieting. Worked out every day and it did nothing.

I’m renovating my 1938 house. Asbestos kitchen tiles. Lead paint. And now you have me wondering if any of the plethora of layers of wallpaper was the DDT wallpaper. :-/

Seriously. The only reason I’m as skinny as I am right now is because I have gastroparesis and throw up the vast majority of what I eat. And that’s not a diet I’m recommending for anybody.

I was at my thinnest when I got married, but I think it was because I was also at my poorest. When you’re poor and work retail, you’re on your feet a lot. I was also very strict with my eating (low carb all the way) so lots of exercise plus cheap produce meant for pictures I was happy with! Now all I do is sit at a…

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…

I’m disappointed they never used the slogan “for a radiant smile”.

Between that, coal gas, and carbon monoxide poisoning, you can see how the Victorian ghost story became so popular.
