Carly shook her glass, willing the ice to melt. "You still haven't told me what the mission is."

She leaned forward. "We are going to assassinate the bad men of Hollywood."


Americans are so obese as a country that we have to continually lie to ourselves and say that fat is beautiful even though we all know that's untrue and it's deeply cynical to keep pretending. We have to perpetuate myths like Marilyn Monroe being a size 14 or w/e when it's our own fatness that has contributed to land whales now being able to fit in an 8 for fear of hurting their fat feelings.

One time I was at an amusement park as a kid and this other kid came up to me and he was all like "hey your moms fat" and I was like "what'd you say?" And he was like "your mom is fat. P h a t fat." And that was how my brother was conceived.

Personally I cut out soda altogether and it's made a world of difference. I craved it pretty strongly for a couple weeks but after that it didn't hold much sway over me.

I don't get diet soda. Soda is purely for pleasure and diet soda tastes bad. People claim to get used to it but if you have to get used to something you're doing purely for pleasure why bother?

Diabetic. No choice. Sucked as a kid when well meaning people told me I wasn't fat so I didn't need to drink it and tried to force a regular soda on me. Hated it at first, like it now. Try not to really drink any of it though. Water is better and free.

The diabetus is a valid reason. Or I'm assuming it is as I know very little about it. Not everyone sucking down diet soda is diabetic though.

There have been studies done that show aspartame and artificial sweeteners increase your chance for getting liver cancers and cancer in general. But they're relatively new studies and they were done in Italy so take them with a grain of salt sugar.

Yeah whatever replace aspartame with corn syrup and you'll do a lot worse. Italy also jailed a bunch of geologists because they failed to predict an earthquake.

Well Harvard did a study that showed that because of the chemical makeup of high fructose corn syrup you gain more weight with high fructose corn syrup than you do with equal amounts of sugar. Like they gave rats equal amounts of both things and the ones with high fructose corn syrup were fatter.

Considering how fat the West has gotten, many of them probably are without knowing it, or are on their way there. In that case, maybe diet soda helps as well?

I had a period where I always went between slim and overweight, but I got over it by just really paying attention to the calorie values of my meals.

Since then I give myself a calorie budget of 1800 calories per day. I never make it, on average, because I drink too much beer. But when I go shopping for groceries I just calculate the calorie intake and go with that. Of course I sometimes go over it (on barbecues and parties etc) but all in all that has worked out for me pretty well so far. What helps is that I always only go shopping for a day and my natural laziness prevents me then from getting more food even if I still have appetite.

That reminds me: Is it mandatory in the U.S. to show calorie values on food packaging?

edit: I have stayed between 70-75 kg (155-165 lbs) at 1.79m for the last 5 years.

edit2: Oh btw, if you start with actually looking at the calories that sodas have and actually want to budget your calorie intake you will be faced with the decision of having a decent meal or just to eat carrots and drinking a mountain dew with that. DRINKING fat is just stupid.

I started smoking pot way more than I used to to deal with the pain from my newly found colitis and I have gained about 20 lbs because of it (food is a lot easier to overindulge in if you're high). been skinny all my life and this past year my health has just poo poo all over everything it's horrible. just gonna try and eat more healthy and actually stop eating when i'm full, and also exercise but it's kind of hard to do so whenever I get my heart rate up it seems I just poo poo a torrent of blood everywhere.

nothing more depressing to a girl than when your belly sticks out further than your boobs imo

You can just have Google do it for you. Just type (number) kg lbs, or whatever thing you want to convert from and to, and watch the magic happen.

srs, I take breaks from weed every once in a while and it absolutely tanks my appetite to the point where i'll get hungry maybe once or twice a day at most. The trick to not getting fat while high is to realize that eating kills your buzz and that you're wasting weed if you pig out while stoned, works for me at least (for the most part)but it did take a while to break the habit of gorging myself.

sorry about your bleeding organs btw

The Metric system indeed is superior but I have refrained from ever mentioning it to an American ever since I saw the Simpson Episode where a bunch of crazy Germans were pestering Homer about it constantly

Its always hard to adopt to a new lifestyle. As I said, my secret is that I always buy for the next day and not more. For example right now I will probably drink a bottle of wine and two beers to go with it, but what I bought for eating are four apples. And before I go out to get more I will rather just go to sleep.
