You guys always ask what it's like to live with...
B: I knocked over your box of tampons and they fell out of the cabinet.
Me: It's fine. They're packaged, just toss them back in the box.
B: ...yeah I can't do that. It weirds me out.

The big drunken post
You all know I don’t drink anymore, but I used to, and usually in excess. How did I do it without gaining a ton of weight? How did I survive the hangovers? How did I fit in workouts, healthy food, and not fall prey to late night drunken-munchies? Did I get the chip in my front tooth from the first time I drank with my friends? Yes, I did. Someone elbowed the bottle in my mouth and put a tiny...

I forgot to tell you guys that I met Thor on...
Thor teaches Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (enter me: so if you coach me, will I get punched in the face at any point? Maybe? Okay, no thanks). Thor and I talked about the gym, crossfit, martial arts, my fear of being punched in the face in kickboxing, and eventually how at his gym every coach has to try every class they offer so he had to do yoga.
And I was all, I love yoga! And he was all…no. He...

dmierzwinski asked: Hello, I read the other day about what you posted about never eating below your bmr. So, if I'm wanting to lose weight healthfully, and my bmr, it's best to net my bmr via a balance between calorie restriction and exercise (more calorie restriction, less exercise; less calorie restriction, more exercise). What about all of the calories I burn during the day just by working, grocery...

Whether you support Occupy or not, they've got...
I drove home from a Halloween party at seven a.m. through Providence after it had snowed (snowed!) hard, wet, and slushy for real all night, and they were in their tents in the park.
I had complained about crossing the snowy streets in my cowboy boots (hey, it was freezing out!) and these people were sleeping outside.
That takes passion.

I should have never convinced my mom to let me pierce my nose when I was 13. I lost the millionth stud down the drain and only had a hoop left that’s two gauges bigger. I feel like a 13 year old scene girl.
I also feel like I got punched right in the fucking face. Dear god. Whine, whine, whine. Really though, it hurts like a motherfucker.

Anonymous asked: My parents have been married for a little over 20 years now, but they're getting a divorce. I don't even know how to handle this because everything has been the same since I was born. I'm away at school so I barely know what's going on, and I'm worried about my sister because it's her senior year and she's right in the middle of it. I don't want her to get...

Anonymous asked: Is it weird to be ready for sex? I read asks like the last one, and I could not imagine being with someone for that long and not being intimate. I'm 15 and I've been with my boyfriend for almost a year. We haven't had sex, and I'm not quite ready, but we've done things. I just don't think sex is a that big of a deal. Is that bad?

Anonymous asked: I've had problems with my eating habits for a while now. I restricted to about 300-500 calories (total) for around 6 months and ran over 6 miles daily. Then I started getting weaker. I developed chronic running injuries that made me unable to work out anymore. I get a lot of headaches, am constantly ill, dizzy, and have awful mood swing. I try to eat now, to regain my health, but I cannot...

Anonymous asked: My brother is trying to lose weight (he's over 200 lbs). He plays Wii Fit (15 mins) and walks home from work (1 hr) but worries about healthy eating because our family is clueless. Is he exercising enough and what are the basics to eating healthily?
Anonymous asked: I just weighed myself for the first time since my birthday in August. I've lost around 15 pounds and, having been at 185 on my birthday, I almost cried. It just kinda told me that maybe I can do this, maybe I can be at healthy weight by the end of highschool.
Anonymous asked: For the first time in my life I am under 200 pounds. I just got there this week. I know to some it's like whatever you're still fat, but to me I feel like I have accomplished something great. The last time I saw a 1 as the first number on the scale I was 12 years old. Now in my twenties to have achieved this makes me happy. My point of this is that you can do it! You can reach goals you...

Anonymous asked: Is it normal to be able to see music? Like when I listen to instrumental music I can see small color trails and wisp of colors depending on the notes being played and how long they last. This has happened ever since I was a kid and I've always wondered what it was.
Anonymous asked: So you want to hit your BMR to lose weight, be that through calorie restriction, through exercise or a combination of both?

Anonymous asked: I'm a little confused. I understand you need to net a certain amount of calories so your body doesn't go into starvation mode, but I thought you lost weight by burning more calories than you use. If I replace all the calories I burned, how will I lose weight?
Anonymous asked: If you don't mind my asking, what is your stance on sex? Like, I know I am personally waiting until marriage. Do you support teenagers with premarital sex or do you kind of let them make their own decisions?

Why your crash diet sucks and is making you fat.
You’re cutting your calories to a Queen V level of 900 calories. You’re working out and making a 500 calorie deficit and hey, you’re not even eating it back. You’re only netting 400 calories. Why aren’t you losing weight? Or, more to the point, why have you gained it all back? Are you plateauing?
No. You aren’t plateauing. You simply aren’t eating enough....

Anonymous asked: To the anon asking why 130 on her looks different to 130 on others -- HEIGHT! If you are tall, 130 is much less than 130 on a short person. Everyone on tumblr who posts pictures of them at 130 is a different height, so it will look different each time.

Anonymous asked: to the person talking about coming out - things like that will never not seem awkward beforehand. it's an announcement and something that generally doesn't come up in conversation naturally, but the important thing is you already know they'll be supportive and kind, and that's what matters most!

Anonymous asked: I think I'm bisexual, but have only been thinking about it for a few months now. It still doesn't seem to be real. I wish I could come out to my friends. They'll accept it, but they know me as a prudish asexual. It'll be awkward.

Anonymous asked: okay, so I have a question i'm hoping you'll answer. I weigh about 130 lbs, I think. And when you're on tumblr all these images pop up, that say like "yay now I've lost 2 lbs and I weigh 130" and then theres a pic of it. But then, you might think this is a weird question but, why do I (who weigh 130) look thinner than those on the pics? btw, I love your blog!
