Disturbing

[trinityvixen]

I went home for lunch and threw on a round of Dynasty Warriors 3 (TAKE THAT, YOU ELEPHANT RIDING MOFOS!), but before I got the remote to switch to the different video input, I caught a commercial for Burger King (yeah, I know, where have they been?). There were men breaking out into Broadway-esque song about their love of meat and how tired they were of soy and salad and how being a man required they eat some or another sandwich that BK is now offering.

Are they joking? Is it any wonder their share of the grease business is practically a thinner slice of fast food pie than Arby's?

Plus, as a fucking carnivore, I object to the eating of meat being seen as "manly" or the frou-frou vegetarian coddlying being lumped on my gender. I am as annoyed as anyone that meat is under attack (mmm, delicious meat; wasn't I talking about bacon earlier? I think I was). I'd get more offended by the meat-is-manly thing for sexism if I weren't just perplexed as to how BK thinks this ad campaign helps their crap food seem any better.

You don't need a diet! Healthy eating and fun are more important than looking like a Southern Californian. You're not unhealthily shaped or weighted, dude!

went to doctor on friday
he told me i was overweight
had to get thyroid checked, and they are not happy with my weight :(

so i am on diet per doctor now :(

Okay, if the doctor insisted, fine. But I don't believe it! Because if you need a diet, I needed one fifteen years ago.

yeah but i am gaing weight at a super fast rate, have put on 20 lbs between sept and now :(

thus dr wanted to have my thyroid checked since they might have done something to it when i had my tonsils out :(

yeah
i am much bigger then when you last saw me, it all rather depressing really.

If there was a thyroid problem, I could understand that. My friend has put on a lot of weight in a short period of time without it being because of habits, so that's what her doctors are looking into.

::hugs:: more of you to love, that's all, dude

Hey, Ann Taylor thought I was a size-six top for a button-down shirt. That's gonna stay with me till I die, bloated and being devoured by my army of cats.

I need to figure out something...my doctor wanted me to "go down" to eating 1200 calories a day, i pointed out thats more then what i eat...then he said excercise more, i pointed out i walk everywhere and do pilates and yoga, yeah he has no idea....apparently i am missing something :(

No, that sounds like a hormonal problem, if lifestyle changes aren't effecting it. Is there a birth control you could switch to or stop taking? That might affect it, too.

ironically i am allergic to bc pills LOL....but based on medical history most people think its thyroid....waiting for doctor to call with test results...apparently your tyroid is near your tonsils, this all started after tonsils went away....hmmmmmmmmm
