no carbs = bad. i can't have a piece of bread but i can eat all the fucking bacon fried in fatback i want to!
it wasn't actually that difficult, the stopping part, i mean i'm not saying it was a jaunt around the pond or whatever, but the difficult part is finding something else to do instead.

In all seriousness, I have changed my life in the last year. I never want to be 30 pounds overweight again. It's not just about appearance--it's about self-esteem and about my energy level.
Let me put it this way. I am determined to grow old gracefully, and that means never becoming like all the whale-bellied men my age I see all around me.

i considered not eating meat at all for awhile. i just can't bring myself to do it, even though it would possibly benefit me if i did. i think i just don't really feel shitty enough in general to make any major changes like i did...two months ago maybe? i thought i was going to die two months ago and i completely flipped everything around and i feel completely healthy and normal now.

Oh, okay. Sometimes your humor eludes me. I'm a man--i.e, a blunt instrument.
I still eat meat, just not much red meat. Mostly just chicken, turkey, and seafood anymore.

So where do I report here the bizarre vacation week I just experienced? A week in which my wife and I endured the redneck antics of my embarassingly immature friend from Florida, a guy who had the audicity in the middle of racially mixed downtown Atlanta to wear his oh-so-humorous "Celebrate Diversity" picture tee-shirt that sported images portraying a "diversity" of handguns? An asshole who's so paranoid about the world that he packed his piece on his trip from Florida and stored his pistol in our hotel room dresser? God, I want to vent. But I won't. That's probably enough. Suffice to say, we've decided we ain't vacationing with this dude much anymore. Problem is, his wife is my wife's best friend.

seriously, i do not understand how anyone, especially doctors, could think it was healthy to cut out an entire food group! the whole reason why there are food groups is because you need something from all of them every day, which takes a lot of work and i'm not into it.
i just thought - i do exercise though, i roller skate. and i dance. a lot.

Problem is that some food groups are less healthy than others--meaning you should consume less of them, not necessarily that you cut them out altogether. But it's common knowledge anymore that a vegetable/fruit-based diet is so much healthier than a meat-based one.

yeah, but you should never completely eliminate any food group.

Any activity is good, of course, but it's really good to figure out a regime that exercises all muscles. Swimming is good for that, by the way.

I only eat lean chicken for meat. I'm trying to get rid of this weight I gained.

Well, maybe. I'm not a physician, so I can't say, but I personally think vegetarians who manage to get their protein from other sources are probably healthier, generally speaking, than those of us who are unwilling to give up meat.

That's good. You need to combine the dieting with good regular exercise, though, to truly see weight loss.
