Dude, stop yelling at people about this.
Especially because you’re wrong. It’s Stay Puft.

I know you’re asking BlueBelly, but I lost 50 lbs and have kept it off for over a year, and it was surprisingly easy once everything fell into place.

Changes I made: drinking all the water, removing fast food and non-free range meats from my diet (this was an ethical thing, not dietary), focusing on veggies as the…

It is true! At that point he had never seen any tits IRL.

Are you my brother?
If so, sorry I highlighted your virginity in the retelling. But for some reason it makes it funnier to me.

Very sure. My Dad and brother mercilessly tease me Mom all the time. It’s usually in good fun and ends when she yells at them to fuck off. Although it drove me up the wall and I would usually be the one who ended up yelling first.
Plus he’s really trim and doesn’t have moobs.

My family is super duper chill so in the grand scheme of things, this isn’t even that bad. But it is my favourite thanksgiving story!
So first boyfriend, first sit down dinner with the family. We were 19. It really wasn’t that big of a deal, since my parents had seen him drunk, puking, and passed out already but for…

My friend did a version of this where she left up an album of her and her ex but used MS paint to draw over him in each one. It’s great. And there is a pic of her making out with a giant MS Paint banana, so win for everyone really.

Hey! I have GT privs. If you want to write a post on your personal kinja, I can share it for you. Just comment back at me when it’s done :)

Exactly! I can’t even save enough to travel :p (bit of a lie, I am going on vacations)

As someone who also grew up poor, I understand what you’re saying. But I also understand the opposite persepctive. Especially when you are in an area where the majority of your neighbours and friends are also poor, there is an overwhelming sense of loving your every day life. There is comradery and an attitude of…

Other Canadian here! I get cat called. I got it a lot in a small maritime city but that was mainly from cars and not nearly as scary as face to face. I think people were just stupid and get excited in the spring when the winter layers come off. So they will shout out their windows at anything vaguely woman-shaped.…

I did a hot meal plan in my elementary school and there was definitely no fruit and veg offered. But I also grew up in a very low income area, so chances are it was a bit different!

That is so many refined sugars and carbs. I mean, absolutely no veggie options? What? Why?
I don’t think carbs are the devil by any stretch, but pancakes and mac n cheese in one day? Come on. And if their families are low income like mine was growing up chances are they are going to go home and have hamburger helper,…

HAHAHAHAHA. I like her.

Uh, since when are men children, and sex candy? Your entire analogy is pretty offensive.

This is a fantastic way to frame it.
Honestly, even if I wasn't loosing weight with my new habits I think I would keep it up because I feel so much better. I'm more aware, and happy, and way less squalorous ;)

Thank you! I will keep it bookmarked for my first big off-day! :D

[Thanks for sharing this to GT, Lucky! Seriously affirming piece.]
This piece really got me thinking about how I view my body and weight loss. I've recently started eating healthier and working out. It is slow progress. But I have realized I am way more critical of my body than anyone else is. My partner has been…

I say yay! I paint my boyfriend's toes all the time.
