makes sense. it's right there with using treats as a reward.

i would eat so many vegetables. i love veggies, but cooking them to my liking can be time consuming so most of the produce i eat is raw. if i had a personal chef everything with be sauteed, steamed, roasted...i don't even know what else. how else do you cook veggies? a personal chef would teach me this.

jack white's a good musician and all but how can he complain about people ripping him off? i've never heard anything of his that didn't sound like an updated version of music from 50 years ago.

ugh. laughing cow cheese is without a doubt the saddest of all the cheeses. i wish they'd cut all the pretense and finally call it crying cow.

haha, i keep repeating that to myself. it was frustrating during that four month period of time where i dropped ONE pound, but luckilly i kept a journal so i can look back and say, "ok, yes, i have been making progress."

man....like the whole situation wasn't sad enough, now i'm sad for the fucking dog too. poor dog.

i'm more into the "dude got caught stealing and is in jail for 25 years" prison issues as opposed to, "this guy eats faces" prison issues. i'm ok with prisons, i just think our current system is flawed.

i like the way you think.

science should start working on making the cutest animal possible JUST for these women.

do you think they need puppies? because i will find them the fluffiest, happiest puppies on god's green earth if it will make them smile.

i'm always that bleeding heart hippy who plays devil's advocate in cases like this. i talk about how pedophiles are almost always molested as children or how even the most hard hearted people should be met with compassion and opportunities for redemption. i go on long rants about how destigmatizing mental illness and…

yep, that guy. but mostly because my inexplicable crush on him is similar to the one i had on giles and i just like the idea of combining them.

the irish guy from bridesmaids.

the buffy spike sex scenes and the musical episodes were kind of the only things worth watching for me in the final seasons.

really? i thought that was the best part of the final season.

hooooly shit. i'm offended by her behavior as a woman, as a plus sized woman, and as someone who spent several years in retail. her behavior was 100% unacceptable, and if i were in your position i might have actually called the manager to complain about her.

i usually go with "have you been working out? you look good!" or even more vague, "you look really hot today!" framing it as a compliment unrelated to weight seems to make people less sensitive. if i know someone's been trying to lose weight then i'll compliment them on it, but if i don't know for sure that they've…

doing a whole lifestyle change is daunting. i did it incrementally, first working on drinking water, then getting more and more produce into my daily diet, then getting more and more protein, then gradually cutting my calories back by 100 or so each month. at the same time i started stretching for 15 minutes a day,…

i run in their regular yoga pants. they were great when i was only going two or three miles at a time but now that i'm training for a half marathon i find they aren't as comfortable on runs longer than 4 miles or so. do you think the compression pants would be better?

oh. yeah. definitely. but it's a mission statement. mission statements are always the ideal outcomes of the program. empathy and compassion for all living things is a pretty lofty goal for anyone, but it's a good thing to work towards.
