Oh! Yeah, those. :tongue: I had tried uploading them some time ago, but for some reason, they wouldn't, so I said I'd do it some other time. It looks like I never did. I'll get on that some time in the near future. :nice: Hi, Grace. :hug: Don't worry about the voice post right now. Your schoolwork is far more important. We'll be patient. :nice:

Thank you, Mike. :smiley: I'm sorry to hear about your cholesterol problem. :\ I'm sure that if you do your best to take better care of yourself, that will fix itself in time. Best wishes to you! Yeah, that's what I thought. I thought it was their duty to help people out in times like that. Really, guys? :| Thanks, Greg. I've indeed started eating regularly. Until now, I've never been much of a breakfast person, but now I have a serving of healthy cereal and a piece of fruit. I read somewhere you're supposed to take up to 30% of your daily calories for breakfast. I also walk every morning up and down my driveway 20 times (which equates to 4,000 yards, a little over 2 1/4 miles). I'm sure this will increase over time, but this seems to work. The big thing with me is actually remaining active. I ate too much and did too little, which is really the exact opposite of what you should do. I also find that it helps to drink water when you feel hungry. I read somewhere that your mind sometimes gets confused between signals of hunger and thirst when it's sent to your brain, so when your brain is telling you you're thirsty, you interpret that as, "Oh, I'm hungry, I should eat something." That's another big change I've made; I'm not drinking anything outside of water and Crystal Light. I'm definitely not having soda, and so far, I've been able to stay away from tea. (Given how much I love iced sweet tea, I've had to try a bit harder to resist the temptation.) Thanks for the advice, especially about the seeded bread; I didn't know about that. :smiley:

Your musical compatibility with CPrules is SUPER. Music you have in common includes Jon Hopkins, Bon Iver, Gayngs, Noah adn the Whale, and Mew. I don't know why it keeps listing the same artists for us. We have other things in common. Like up there ^. I also listen to Coldplay, Mumford & Sons, and Sigur Rós. This doens't make sense to me.

There was a thread about them in the WoM. Come to think of it, I've never really checked them out. Maybe I should. Frightened Rabbit

If only I had a webcam... :disappointed:

The last time I listened to Muse was this past weekend. I was recording bits and pieces of songs on my phone to use as ringtones. Now, my phone playing "City of Delusion" is the first thing I hear in the morning. It's fabulous.

On a somewhat related note, I did hear a story on the news today about how some ob-gyn doctors are refusing to treat overweight women, for whatever reason. The report I heard on the news said something about how women over 200 pounds couldn't get treatment from these doctors. Of course, as a woman who fits into said category, this makes me angry, but even if I weren't, I don't think it's right to refuse treatment to people who want/need it. Here's an online articule about the story: Article

The timing of this thread is uncanny. I started on my own journey of weight loss on Monday. I decided that instead of doing nothing all summer, I was going to accomplish some goals I made for myself before the end of the semester, and this was a big one. I've been overweight for quite some time now, and my dad getting diabetes two months ago (It's hereditary in his family, but he was also overweight) was a huge wake up call for me. I thought that the summer would be a good time to start taking better care of myself. I'm only in my third day, and it's already done so many wondrous things for me. I'm learning to have more self-control in terms of eating things that I should and not eating when I think I feel hungry. My face already feels thinner, and I get a great sense of self-accomplishment after I've finished my morning walk. It's fabulous. Anyway, given my story (which is still in the works, mind you), I think this is something that people have to learn to figure out on their own. For some people like my dad, it took him a visit to the ER to figure out that he needed to take better care of himself. For me, seeing that and not wanting to end up like that is a piece of motivation. Yeah, sure, I want people to be healthy, but I agree with Greg. I don't think you should force people to do something. By doing this, you make them unwilling participants, and the consequences can be dire.

Preach it, Mike!

...Aaaaand the first thing I read upon entering this thread is a sex post by Greg. Yep yep. :| It's so true! You'd be surpriesed as to how something so small could have such a big impact on your life. LOLWTF. I learned that wearing a certain pair of shoes with no socks is not proper gear for walking and will make the soles of your feet sore. :nod: Also, that's the first time I've ever used the nod smiley.

That's a great way of putting it. Thanks for making me feel better about being here. :D

Oh no, it's fine. I live with people like that, so I understand.
