You now what made me lose weight? A surgery date,When you have a table date and you can only go if you reach X pounds. Its amazing it is to lay off the candy and the soda. I lost almost 100 pounds in six months.......
I only wish I could mange it now! :)
Whatever you do don't subsitute DIET soda! Among many other side effects it increases the craving for empty carbs! if you need sweets 100% no sugar added fruit juice. It goes a lot farther than soda and if you are a canny shopper the prices are not much worse.
"I have low blood sugar I CAN'T give up sweets it makes me nuts"
We've had our differences, but nothing we have not been able to work out in discussion. But I agree, the people who want you to remain "conveinent" for them don't love you, they love what they want you to be for them, and you do have to shake the ones loose who won't budge because they will fight you tooth and nail under the banner of "saving you" which is something they will do if they have to kill you to do it.
And FUCK the trans commuinity! You want to talk about unresonable demands, stereotypes, and enforced behavior, you cannot BEAT The trans coommunity! I'm not saying don't have trans friends, but individually. The trans community will use your "asssumed" membership in it as a blank check on your time, feelings and resources. And if you don't give it all and more whever its demanded you will be tagged as either "elitist" or "self hating"
And they will beat you with a standard of 'acceptibly feminine" every bit as restrictive and repressive as the standard of masculinity that some of your family would happily impose on you.
Did you actually have self appointed "saviors" on your LJ? :/
