I-Jo Posted January 21, 2014 Report Share Posted January 21, 2014 so many comments on the future Mrs Kingclumsy "Are you going to lose weight, Dont eat that, you want to fit into your dress" "What are you doing with your hair" "Are you going to wear heals," etc. Thanks, jerks,. </rant>seriously? that's insanely rude. I'd punch someone in the dick if they said that to me!!! Congrats on your upcoming nuptials though!!! I have several pagan friends and a friend who is a witch- it's all about making it your day and what is important to you. Quote Link to comment
IronGlider Posted January 21, 2014 Report Share Posted January 21, 2014 I think she meant lacto-ovo vegetarian. So plant matter, dairy and eggs. No meat or fish. Pescatarians are the ones who eat fish but no (land) meat.Right, so I am technically a lacto-ovo vegetarian, didn't know that, thanks for the heads up! :-)Sent from my Z10 using Tapatalk Quote Introduction, Bodyware: Fitness JournalChallenge Belt: (1), (2), (3), (4), (5), (6), (7), [WOOT], (8), [TEMP HIATUS], (9) Bodyweight Info: Starting: 264.5lbs, Current: 167.8lbs (NEUTRAL) IronGlider v2.10, Adventurer Rank: Level 8 Link to comment
insanity Posted January 21, 2014 Report Share Posted January 21, 2014 or whatever rubbish he came up with. I'm not an addicted smoker (I smoke hookah several times a month- but I don't smoke regularly outside of that- and never cigarettes) so I can't presume to understand how difficult it may or may not be... but what bothered me was that he always had an excuse about his lack of self discipline.I've read articles showing evidence that tobacco/nicotine itself isn't addictive, but more some of the numerous chemicals found in cigarettes. Not something I've researched in depth since I don't smoke, but I have smoked hookah in the past. So that might explain your lack of addiction.

Flex Luthor Posted January 22, 2014 Report Share Posted January 22, 2014 Thanks and yeah, its just people blindly following wedding cliches and traditions. It's such a dumbass tradition. Many women set themselves up for future self esteem issues because of the intense dieting they do before their wedding. They look back at their wedding photos and think they look overweight now while forgetting that they weren't at their normal weight then. It's perfectly normal to want to look great for your wedding but some of the crash diets women do are ridiculous. 1 Quote "I like you just the way you are" - Mr. Rogers In Br0din's name we gain.

MetalNinja Posted January 24, 2014 Report Share Posted January 24, 2014 I realize this is the second time in a row I've posted a grammar thing. But. I'm mildly annoyed when people write that they "diffused a situation" but not super annoyed because, well, you can imagine that maybe they are thinking of making the tension more diffuse, i.e. lowering the tension concentration, dispersing it. It's still wrong but the kind of understandable wrong. Except I just read something where someone wrote than and then wrote "we diffused the wrong bomb" and NO. IT'S DEFUSED, as in you removed the fuse so it wouldn't explode! aaaaaaaaarrrrrrrrrrrgggggggggghhhhhhhh Quote Butts. Link to comment

Annelise Posted January 29, 2014 Report Share Posted January 29, 2014 What I usually hear is: "That's all yours?" *looking at boobs* No, no. It's not mine. These belongs to my neighbor. "You must be eating all the time when I'm not looking!" Yeah, my mom. And I'm not eating all the time. I actually had a very predictable "schedule" to eat.. "Don't eat. You lose nothing by eating". Again, my mom. Sometimes, she thinks I'm better off not eating. "I'm older than you and I'm losing more weight than you!" Well, duh. I have a lot less to burn... "Sorry to say this, but you have some great boobs!" If this is the second thing you say to a girl when you meet her, you just lost the game. Also, not exactly a comment, but... You know that disapproving stare someone gives you when they learn you like games/anime/manga aka "you are different"? I also get that all the time and it hurts more than a comment... 1 Quote My weekly log (measurements and weight) Link to comment

I'm sure those other comments are annoying but this one is downright destructive.I already tried. She doesn't understand that's not the way to have a diet. Don't worry, I don't follow that xD (but yeah. She can be pretty destructive with her comments. You have no idea how much I cried because of her)She's having a diet now and she thinks that, if she eats too much in one meal, that she should skip the next. I get shocked, but what can I do? She doesn't listen (and she even gets mad if I try to talk to her about it). If she wants to destroy her body, go ahead. It seems I don't have any influence on her, since I'm her kid and I don't have any nutrition course. She only listens to the nutritionist.

Flex Luthor Posted January 29, 2014 Report Share Posted January 29, 2014 I totally get that. My dad used to tell me not to eat so much and to stop working out because I would never get bigger(I was very skinny and hated it). I feel your pain. I just ignored him and eventually he saw that what I was doing was working. Quote "I like you just the way you are" - Mr. Rogers In Br0din's name we gain. Link to comment

insanity Posted January 29, 2014 Report Share Posted January 29, 2014 Bread and pasta are just edible utensils. That was the kicker that got me to try paleo, I was looking into it then I read something about bread and pasta's only purpose is to get the good stuff to your mouth... and when I thought about it, I've never sat down and ate JUST a tortilla, or snacked on JUST tortilla chips, never ate a plate of spaghetti with nothing on it... that alone made it 100 times easier to give Paleo a try.

My mom doesn't listen to me because I don't have a degree in nutrition (even though I have some sort of degree in sports).

I wish I had. She's the kind of mom that never praises her kids (if they do a good job, it's their duty. If they don't, they are the worst kids ever) and she has been self-pitting after my dad left us. Which is annoying...

I'm sure those other comments are annoying but this one is downright destructive.Actually most research on the workings of the brain and eating disorders show that eating disorders start before a baby is even born. It's mostly a coping mechanism and not so much started by bad diet advise or hearing you're too fat. But surely those things don't help either. Ie if you're not wired for eating disorders it's very unlikely you can develop one.
