I haaaate that. The two times I've lost a lot of weight at once were from mono and extreme stress (I was eating like, 800 calories a day and felt awful but just couldn't force my body to handle more food). I also tried to be super honest about why I lost weight and have had people continually insist it's a…

Based on your user name, I'm guessing you're one of those snackers rights advocates. No one cares about your shrill rhetoric. Go eat a bag of crumbled nacho chips.

Oh PETA. When will you stop sabotaging your own cause??

some guy who decided it was a good idea to put his IQ in his screen name.

good for you enjoy it. you should be happy about yourself and yourbody. Life is too short enjoy it.

but, you see, we.don't.care.what.you.prefer.

Last semester I took a Women's Health class and I was disappointed when my professor told us (the students) that we needed to start exercising because bikini season is coming up. Of course exercising is great and it's healthy for you, but you don't have to look one way to wear a bikini. I wasn't surprised by her…

This photo you have is all wrong. It's not on barn wood, surrounded by mason jars with tea lights in them.

Closure can be overrated. I think his completely blowing you off after you expressed your emotional needs shows that he's a jerk and you're better off not wasting any more energy on him. That sounds pretty closed to me.
Now curl up and cuddle with those two gorgeous cats. Kitty cuddles are the best thing I know (after…

You may not like this one, but - what if you forgot about losing weight? If you're working out, you can focus on getting fitter, stronger, enjoying your body, meeting more challenging goals over time. You'll lose fat and gain muscle, you'll be healthier. Comparatively, what does your weight matter?

A clichéd, but true, answer would be to throw your scale out. It only measures the effect of gravity on you that specific day. Your self-impressions and the mirror/clothes are a better indicator of progress than a scale.

Super yay for a toned back! I spent all summer pickaxing in the field, and my back was uh-maaaazing when I came home. As much as I wish I could tell you what you want to hear, if you have muscular thighs, there's nothing that can be done. I do, too, and it's a huge pain in the ass because even if I slim down…

I mean, what's wrong with bulking up if you look and feel better?

We should be focused on educating people to create the world we want to live in. We also absolutely need to prepare people to live in the world we actually inhabit. That means taking responsibility for your safety. It does NOT mean that it's your fault if anything bad happens but it DOES mean that it's just smart…

You are on a LGBT site. Kat reports on LGBT issues. Where Kat lives is irrelevant. If the president of France made a similar proclamation, I'm sure Kat would write a piece on that, because, like I said, THIS IS AN LGBT WEBSITE. If you want to read an in depth discussion on Obama's foreign policy go elsewhere.…

Thanks, darlin'! I love her style, too! And she was way too good for that Stanley!

Our other dog is , Lobo, a Corgi-Cattle Dog mix (as best we can tell, he is the strangest looking pooch I have ever seen). They get along pretty well. It was tough at first because the APBT, Sophie is only 3, and wants to play ALL the time. Lobo is about 9 (we think) and never really "played" much with other dogs. He…

This reminds me of a story which is sort of the opposite - in agnostic Sweden, a single company makes all those little boxes with the button you press to cross the street at a traffic stop. Turns out they're all die-hard Christians, and the pictograms on the box (a sun, a hand and a man) actually means "the only way…

I know you're not a lawyer C.A. So i'll understand your ignorance at the importantence of the "Finders Keepers, Losers Weepers" precedent establish by the Supreme Court in the hotly contested case of Rubber v Glue.

Hell the "men act like men and women act like ladies" part alone pisses me off. (I don't even want to get started on the "fag" part) If women have to be ladies why don't men have to be gentlemen?
