So, they only pay you a dollar a day? I think you can sue for that.

Anyway good luck with things pup. Sounds like you needed the cookie. Nothing wrong with a little comfort food. Will keep my paws crossed for ya.

LOL My problem isn't a little comfort food...it's a LOT of comfort food. But thanks for keeping happy thoughts for me. ^0^

*Hugs ya*

Always welcome pup :)

LOL at the last line xD

Thanks, I always like to leave 'em laughin'...or at least smiling...or horny...

XD

Or all at once? A "roflboner"? ^.^

Not eating is a bad way to loose weight. You know the short term result of letting your blood sugar go too low. Long term, the body goes into starvation mode and that makes it even harder. The trick is to eat more but consume fewer calories. The trouble with that advice, as my doctor gave it to me, is that it leads to eating these things called vegetables. Yuck! Now I want a cookie! :)

You want to loose weight quickly?

Start sleeping the days and being awake at night (or vice versa if you usually do it the opposite way).
There are side effects, though (except the obvious social issues). Your immunity will probably go down... Oh, and it will only work for a while, until your metabolic clock resets.

Then I would DEFINITELY lose my day job...because it actually is a day job.

Don't worry, I'm not the starving myself type--you've seen me--you should realize this! ;)

It was more just a test to gage how much will power I have...not much as it turns out. *sigh*

Its not good to with out food, like driving a car with no gas. I think I know how you feel though, being that angry or upset that you can't eat. *hugs and nuzzles.* I hope things stop being so crapy for and what not.

You know, my diet didn't used to BE that affected by my moods...but seems like these days, when I'm really angry or depressed I lose my appetite.

Maybe it's a getting old thing.

Nah its not that, just alot more stress then your use to. I hope everything does get better for you though. *nuzzles.*

I hope that you survive the meeting unscarred.

Losing a lot of weight without drugs, exercise, or counting calories is really not that hard. The key is a low glycemic index, high protein, high fiber diet. Get the 2007 edition of the "New Glucose Revolution." It is written by a couple of very good research scientists, one of whom I have been reading for over 20 years.

As it turns out it was just letting me know that we have NO money until our next paychecks...next Firday. :P So I can't buy anything.

I'll look for that book. My big problem is--I like sweets...and I lead a fairly sedintary life--I sit and draw all the time. (That's what I'VE been doing for the last twenty years.) ^0^

Make your own sweets with erythritol, a natural sugar alcohol. It tastes just like sugar and has the same functional properties for candy making and baking. It is efficiently absorbed from the gut so there are no runs at high doses, unlike other sugar alcohols such as xylitol. You can't metabolize it, and quickly piss it out. Use it just like sugar for everything. Better living through biochemistry!

As long as it doesn't pile up in my kidneys... I had a CT scan a week ago, I've got new stones. *sigh*

It can't pile up in your kidneys because no kidneys are capable of retaining it. You can't help pissing it out. There is no retention so long as you have anywhere normal urine volume.

You should never starve yourself dude.... and hey, im a sucker for a man with a belly ^_* <3<3<3<3<3<3<3

Actually, it's become less about my looks and more about discomfort in the last few years. I gave up on my looks years ago. I'd just like to be able to buy decent clothes and be in less pain.

aw snuggles* Have you talked to a doctor?

He thinks I should lose weight too.

So then find a diet that works for you ^_^ Im going to start mine in two days. Its going to be so hard! Im such a sucker for sweets XDXDXD!!!

I've done 10 days of no eating at the beginning of last month & didn't feel any hunger from it, but that's because I'm more into drinking fluids than eating now. it's easier than what many would think, but I would have to recommend to others that they take a liquid supplement. I have the energy to go without, but I'm not so certain how many others are that capable.

Yikes. If I could do that, maybe I wouldn't be such a blimp. I had two problemswith liquid diets...one, they made me hungrier than drinking nothing...and two, low blood sugar episodes.

Also...the "D" word... *cringe*

You could have to put yourself through a heck of a lot of exercise to aid in causing the fat to be diluted from your body. You could live off your body fat, depending on how much you have, for a good while. What you could so is something that at least would keep you active in movement, thus why DDR/ITG/PIU/SM are commonly played by many (Clinically proven to lose weight & healthy. Even planning to use it in the school system to fight off Childhood Obesity).

I've had a lot of luck with the blood type diet. It helped me lose over thirty pounds a while back. It still works a good bit for me even now.

I thought that only worked with vampires... ^0^

Nope works with us plain food eaters too. Type O for myself... protein based diet. -waggles eyebrows-

*random hugs* <3 :/

*strategically placed snugs!*

: simply not eating is not the way to lose weight if that's what you're going for...dieting is. I know a lot of people that still eat, but simply change what they eat, and they've lost quite a bit of weight for some of them :) I'd much rather not hear about you being sick because you're forcing yourself not to eat anything, that's even more unhealthy for your body than eating a lot, you can give yourself stomach ulcers... ;-;

Seriously--don't worry about me trying to starve myself. It'll never happen--I'm a food addict...also, I need it to live and stuff. Also, my system is already so spastic I would be afraid to try anything that drastic for real.

My family has a history of age-onset diabetes, I have hypoglycemic episodes and my stomach and digestive system already don't like me very much--I don't want to piss them off too much!

Like I said before, I was just annoyed and just didn't feel like eating. Then I just wanted to see how far I would carry it before I caved.

I'm all better now.

*snugs* Thank you for worrying about me.

ok, well that's good then :) Sorry to hear about your hypoglycemic episodes ;-;

Excellent, we're rooting for you ;D

what Foxy said. ...i took some stuff called REDLINE. i lost 100 pounds. it did not come back either. i have not drunk any redfline for over three months. i am still size 44 (YAAAY!). anyway i was 350 lbs this last january. the stuff works. there are these new cookies i was going to try since i'm living, such as it is in San Deigo in a town called Poway. some indians used to live here i think, anyway they are all gone now, the last ones died off around the time of the 1840's.
The temp here is a lot like Pleasanton where i am actually from, it was a blistering 79 today up from a frigid 60 last night. the ocean is a ways from here but San Deigo weather is a best kept secret.
Do what Foxystallion said he knows what he is talking about, a few phd's worth i think.
drink redline for two months. to get off of sweets try this. take a ton of the all the stuff you LOVE to eat. and poig out so much you get sick. then pig out again till you get sick again. then one last time... as a matter of experience this is what happens it is easy to not eat anymore cause you are sick of it.
this only lasts for about a week, but it will let you have enough time to bake and make a bunch of the erythritol stuff. also apples and other fruits are good too, you can eat all of them quite a lot. i am hypoglycemic too, and i used to weigh too much. once you wean yourself off of sugar life will be easier, you can eat all the veggies and fruit you can hold. also once you get off sugar in all its forms (even in ketsup) you won't crave what you shouldn't eat. Other foods that were never sweet before will be. My father died of Diabetties. if you get too fat so will you and i will be very mad and come and kill you if you die like that. You are too good of an artist to go out like that.
by the way what kind of job do you have? i would have thought you would have become an animator at pixar or disney's art department by now...?
