Wendy's fail

[Ksandra]

i really don't think i ever want to base my opinion of myself and my life on how another person chooses to conduct their life. my brother and i grew up in the same home and now i'm married, living on my own in another state, and looking into starting my own business (yeah miz, actually following your advice). my brother is a drug addict. i don't think parenting is the most significant influence in a person's life, but there's really no way to tell a parent that.

I would say that eating habits do get influenced in the home. Now that's not 100%. Anyone can change their eating patterns no matter the upbringing. But it definitely seems like people grow up to love a lot of the same things their parents love when it comes to food. It just takes willpower to change that if its unhealthy.

Good news, everyone! You don't have to eat meat! I've got enough gazpacho for everyone!

It's just a little airborne, it's still good it's still good!

ya I hear ya skirkle. I'm a bit of a fatty too, not unhealthy, but def chubby/fat ass.

My biggest fear about the weight thing that pressures me to try dieting like 5 times a year is my mom. She isn't diabetic yet, but she's gotten really really big. Each year it gets worse. It makes me so scared because you know the phrase "you grow up to be like your mom", well my eating habits used to be the same as hers. Of course because I grew up eating the same shit she did. So in my mind I gotta do everything to not end up that big when I get older.

The sad thing is, is she knows there's a problem, but won't do anything. My mom could never get out of the empty nest syndrome. I don't blame her, she only has her brother left alive on her side of the family, so I can imagine how lonely she is with just my dad around. No matter how much my dad tries to get her to diet, she just keeps gaining. ;;

My father knows he's in bad shape (he's about 6'4" and ~400 lbs, not exactly sure of his weight) and seems to make no concessions with regards to his diet. I'm 6'0" ~200 myself and I use him as inspiration for my diet, cause if I ever get that fat I'd hate myself. My mom's relatively normal, a little overweight probably but with no health problems. What's really annoying is that my friends are all roughly my height but only weigh 150 lbs, and they eat the same or more than I do. I hate being chubby

i've just seen so much variance i really don't know what to think about it. my husband grew up vegetarian and now loves meat so much he whines if i try to make him something like pasta with veggies. a lot of the things i ate often as a kid/young adult are so repulsive to me now you couldn't pay me money to eat them. it's probably about extremes, though. i can see people who only ate mcdonald's once in a blue moon still being able to appreciate it as adults.

Get in that gym son. Fuck cardio, just lift weights - put on just a little muscle and get down to 190, you'll be fine.

[Colenzo]

[Colenzo]

I don't want to be the first to say it

[Arvin]

mother fucking eliptical 30 min a day

[Colenzo]

I don't want to be the first to say it

ya ya ya I should take my own advice lol

[Howard Roark]

hey I'm just as bad

I'll talk your ear off about yoga and vegetarianism but I haven't practised them in over 4 years

most of these things take a serious dedication, despite knowing for a fact from personal experience that it will help you and make you feel better

[Colenzo]

Me and my dad were going a couple of months ago for 2 months then we just stopped one day because he couldnt afford gas. Gym is like 20 miles away

[Howard Roark]

I stopped due to crowd change pretty much. I lived with some vegetarians and it's 10x easier cooking a couple times a week for multiple people than everyday for one. I knew them from yoga and I moved out of town, and smalltown yoga is pretty limited

[Howard Roark]

never really got around to getting back into it when I returned to Toronto
