I'm addicted to philippine brand dried mangoes

[minxnim]

also: alex: i just feel like when i see raisins inside something solid they look like dead flies. i've been grossed out like that since i was really really little. it freaks me out.

 

[xfer]

heh yeah i remember in nursery school someone's mother brought in "ants on a log" (peanut-butter filled celery sticks with raisins along the top) and a bunch of kids would cry and freak out and say NO THOSE ARE REALLY ANTS!

 

[minxnim]

i just remember biting into an oatmeal raisin cookie and seeing these mushy black things and just thinking 'wow these look like the flies on the window sill' and feeling really sick.

 

[FuSoYa]

i am not carb fasting and i do exercise. ner.

 

[FuSoYa]

Basically, I'm not overweight but if I can recapture my youthful litheness, it will satisfy my marginal peter pan complex.

 

[xfer]

i'm not really skinny at all. i weigh about 4 pounds more now than i do in any picture of me you've seen and my Behold...the Arctopus shirt no longer fits without looking like a stuffed sausage.

i hate exercise and i won't be doing it until spring, when i'll start walking 2-4 miles per day again.

 

[minxnim]

alex you are not fat seriously. fat people have double chins and stuff.

toby: i can relate to that. it's good to exercise. greg's diet seems to be really good too so if that's what you're doing it's awesome.

i wont even talk about how i eat. but i exercise A LOT between martial arts and doing yoga for an hour every night pretty much, and running at least once a week... and walking everywhere.

 

[xfer]

i have a gut and i can't fit into some of my clothes so i'm not THIN, at least.

 

[minxnim]

maybe not as thin as you were but that doesn't mean you're not THIN at all dude. sayin'.

anyway, do some crunches.

 

[xfer]

i can't figure out how to do crunches without my lower back starting to hurt after a couple, which makes me think i'm not doing them right. it's not a "working hard" hurt, either, but like a back ache.

 

[minxnim]

i can describe how to do low intensity ones if you want. and email it.

 

[xfer]

yeah, that would be cool? i really think i'm doing them wrong, not physically incapable of doing them.

 

[minxnim]

k i will try to explain it and email it to you in a minute.

 

[minxnim]

sent.

I am about 10 pounds overweight and I don't give a damn. I eat well, I don't exercise as much as I should but I do a minimum and I am generally healthy. I won't starve myself nor deny myself pleasures because I have a little beer belly. Plus, at 6'2" 10 pounds doesn't show that much.

 

[xfer]

whats your weight, mindspell? i'm 6'2" and my "target" weight is 160-165, but i'm 170 right now.

 

[mindspell]

195, I guess I have a bigger build than you because I haven't been 165 since high school, and I was skin and bones at that point, and also spending about 8 hours a day doing various sports....

 

[Ominous Luminous]

Damn, I'm 6'3" and 203 lbs. I guess it's time to start excercising again. I don't get it, I don't drink ever, I have a physically demanding job, and I'm a vegetarian, but I'm still overweight.

 

[xfer]

yeah, i have skinny arms...

 

[xfer]

i'm also not exactly 6'2". i'm like 6'1" and 7/8ths, but that sounds anal, so i always just say 6'1" or 6'2"
