So, I made it to Homer, have successfully completed my first day at my new job, have spent a lot of time video-chatting with the lady (maybe we can work this out?).
The next step is finding a place to call my own, followed shortly by getting said placed prepped before I head down to the animal shelter and find myself a bitchin' 2-3 year old mutt.
Longterm plans are to somehow get the girlfriend up here. Apparently there is a pretty big need for social workers that want to deal with seniors and the disabled (which is what she's doing/wanted to do in Wrangell).

Just work at it in a healthy way and don't give up. Its incredibly easy to gain weight back since your body's essentially thinking "damn, where did all of me go? I needs it back? I needs it..."
Also, it saddens me that I will never be able to do a real life winky. Whenver I move both my eyebrows my entire scalp moves about an inch and it looks like I'm wearing a wig.
Sounds like someone isn't pushing it to the limit.
You could almost play that song to some of the meals I used to consume, but in reality it's a reference to a Thrall raid video I once saw where some guy died and this guy speaks up on vent like "Hey man, you didn't push it to the limit." I actually have lost a good 100 pounds in the last two or three years though. I've got about 100 to 120 more to lose, but I am having a hard time.
I largely eat eggs, fruit, whole grains, beans, and lean meats. No soda except for diet (pretty rarely even that), very occasional deviation in the form of pizza or something at a friends house which I really need to stop but he is one of those super hospitable guys who is almost offended by you not wanting food.
Edit: It also doesn't help that I seem almost compelled to eat certain things, especially if they're right there for me. It's like you're an alcoholic and you're sitting there minding your own business doing just fine and then some douche walks in with a bottle of nice liquor and some mixings and like a 30 pack of your favorite beer and leaves you with it and you're like "MUST NOT DRINK, NO. MUST MAINTAIN DISCIPLINE."
Invariably, you fail.
Tonight though I cooked red beans and a tiny bit of pork in a crock pot and spooned a bit over some brown rice. It was goddamn tasty. Also cheap. And there were leftovers.
You guys at Watts make me wish i had money and time to devote solely to drawing and also that i was old enough to go there
it seems like everyone is so rad
The mere mention of mayonnaise in D-Robe's post has me craving BLT sandwiches.
Fucking food industry engineering food to create Pavlovian responses in consumers.
e: I'm going to get my A+ certification first, and then try to find something out there. I've got to take a couple more practice tests and polish up and then walk up the road and whore myself out for the 300 and some odd dollars it'll cost me to take the test.
I read a book recently by a former head of the FDA which stated that the food industry does, in fact, engineer food to create a reward response in consumers that results in addiction paralleling the severity of heroin.
Whole wheat things, no soda or juice, just water...no fast food...easy on the carbs...lean proteins, veggies...woo!
Agreed. I took no magic pills no crazy diets, just eating a shit load of oatmeal (when your hungry as hell it is filling and keeps you stuffed most the day) and taking vitamins to make up for what I don't eat so my body isn't suffering from malnutrition. And vitamins cut a lot of the cravings down, gave me a lot of energy and my skin has never looked better. And I don't get sick as easy anymore.
Black coffee plain is good if your looking for an energy boost but it will dry your skin but it has no calories plain. So do drink water. Eat foods like strawberries, oranges, almonds that help you burn fat. If you can walk somewhere, walk it.
I lost 40 pounds in three months doing this. but I also don't have a car so I have no choice but to walk everywhere ha ha ha. But I used to be 187 now I'm 130 something. I'd be less but my boobs are like 8 pounds themselves. I get bored and I have a scale.

Eight pounds individually? Or four pounds? Either way, damn.
4 pounds each.
I used to be on track for 3 years until I became a woman~ And I loved running so much.
I'm getting a reduction after kids or hold out until I become a robot. Science fiction you promised me so many things about the future. Whars my well deserved hover car and space ho's?
But as fun as setting a plate atop them like a shelf and being able to eat hands free is. There more a pain then a service. Like carrying an infant cut in half and taped to my chest.
Yeah, I don't think bewbs are ever really taken into account in the whole body weight vs. height deal...I have to remind myself "oh right, bewbs" when I calculate my BMI (which is apparently grossly inaccurate most times, unless you actually measure the thickness of fat you've got on certain points of your body, and put that into some crazy BMI chart/equation/whathaveyou). But height/weight ratio for ladies probably differs quite a bit, even if the ladies have similar BMI's...simply cuz of the bewbs.
Well, my brother was supposed to be cooking tonight, but since he's not home and probably won't be until some inconvinient time I guess I'll do it. Like always.
He claims he's a really good cook, but he can't even cook rice. Seriously, last time he tried he nearly destroyed a $300 pot.
