AWKWARD ZOMBIE

Trust me, you'll like being thin. I used to be the exact same way, with the exact same viewpoint, and it's eerie, because I used to say nearly the exact same thing. I had a double chin for god's sake. But one day, I woke up and decided that I wanted to be thin. I don't know how that happened, and I know it's a really lame success story, but something just... clicked. I cut back on my eating and let my stomach shrink, so I would eat smaller portions, and then I simply didn't eat meals that I didn't need to. If you're full, no sense in forcing in more food. I was pop flyin' with myself when I was fat, and now I'm even happier with myself now that I'm thin. I couldn't imagine ever going back. I still enjoy good tasting food that's bad for you, but now I just eat less of it.

It's an odd feeling, honestly. When you're overweight, and you say that you're fine, you may be on the surface, or you may truly believe that you're pop flyin'. But there's a little part of you that gnaws away at your soul, at your self-esteem. Not enough for you to notice, but enough for you to feel dismay when a shirt that fit you yesterday is a little tighter. It's enough for you to feel a little bit self-conscious when going out in public. It's enough to make you hate walking even though you love the city. It's subtle, but noticeable, in retrospect. I can't make you change your life. But I can tell you that having experienced both sides of the coin, being thin is definitely preferable to being overweight. All I'm asking is that you at least consider my words, nothing more.

- Lose weight
- save the environment
- learn about hormones affecting weight
etc etc etc

I'll tell you guys if it works for us.

In the meantime, ORGANIC STUFF IS YUMMY.

basically, ia, though i think it's more getting to a weight you're comfortable at than being thin. i'm on weight watcher's right now, and it's a good way to really just realise what you're eating.

and then it's okay to splurge and eat really fatty bad for you food occasionally, and that's pretty cool.

it's dangerous to go alone, take this

back, environment`s fucked. oh fun times, i've been assigned to a murder case. man, i wanna OBJECTION!!1 so hard

Well, I just got back from a teeth-cleaning at the dentist. went much better than I expected, though that's probably because of the fact that I've spent the last half year getting fillings and all-around not fun times.

And yeah I know I have that part in the back of my head gnawing at me telling me I need to lose weight and I want to but I have no excuse. School's starting soon, so at least I get a mile or so walk home. that's a start. not a good one, but a start.

Some of you guys wrote:The environment is screwed.

The Earth's gone through more severe environmental changes before human beings were able to have any kind of influence.

I'm all for recycling, and being more responsible in consuming resources, and producing less emissions, and generally respecting the planet and all the forms of life in it...

...but the climate thing doesn't fly with me, the Earth has gone through countless hot and cold periods without human beings being around.

For your viewing pleasure - a graph showing the Earth's temperature cycles over the past 400,000 years:



Notice the massive fluctuations in CO2 (green line) without the influence of human beings.

Also notice how our current average temperature (far left, blue line) is lower than some of the past high points.

Some scientists think that the Sun is the one thing that has the biggest influence over Earth's temperature (the Sun also going through 'hot' and 'cold' spells - these influencing Earth's temperature).


End novice science.

I just found out how dumb people really are.
A kid in my class misspelled "oink".
Yes, "oink", the sound pigs make, the fucking onomatopoeia.
He spelled it "onik", then misspelled "duet" as "dutes".

I weep for humanity, Earth, America, Louisiana, Mandeville, and that poor soul who cannot spell "oink".

Oh god, I hope I don't ever sound that much like a pussy ever again.

I now have to go punch a brick wall with my face or ramp a deer or something to make up for my lost masculinity...

FATTY GONNA CRY NOW? FATTY GONNA CRY?


To tell you the truth, until I saw pictures of me, I never knew I was a chubby kid.

I use to be a fat kid, then wonderful wonderful puberty came along.

For some reason, Youtube isn't working for me now.
