Gripe of the Day

A girl who lives on soda and ice cream asking why she always feels tired.

Girlfriends of mine sipping their mocha lattes and eating cookies while I drink my black coffee looking at me doing *le sigh*, "She must just have one of those metabolisms. Lucky thing." I'm not lucky. I *worked* at it. Grow a damn spinal column and you could do it to. Or you could continue to sit on your rear and chug down the sugar and kvetch about your metabolisms. (Same people I told about PB months ago who turned down the wrong colored life ring. In the case of one of these two, the life ring metaphor is not far off. She is massively overweight and very unhealthy.)

Thanks guys - feel better... :)

gotd: That so many people I know, we all know, aka Paleobird's post, who expect to get the benefits without the work. Even on this site, people can come up with more excuses than the grains of sand on Malibu Beach for why they can't do this or that part of the diet/program, which in time comes across as basically they don't really want to give up their goodies. And they seem to make little if any progress. An obstacle is not an excuse for not making strides toward weight loss or strength gains, but something to figure out how to manage.

people who try to steal your shine or keep drama going for no reason but to amuse themselves.

i made two cheesecakes in a water bath, and despite wrapping the pans in foil, water still seeped into one of the pans. both cheesecakes came out fine, but as i was draining the water out of that cheesecake pan, nearly 1/3 of the cheesecake fell into the sink! garr!!!

"Participation ribbon" primals, who use the 80/20 guideline to eat pretty much anything and then complain the WOE does not work. I'm reading threads about rice, quinoa, beer (but only microbrews?), organic humus, raw milk.

Good way of putting it. I agree.

Pretty sure raw milk IS "Primal" as defined by Mark, provided you have the genes for adult lactose tolerance. But I agree on the rest of it.

[QUOTE=Pantera;499375]beer (but only microbrews?)[/QUOTE]

Eh, I drink beer about once a month and frankly at that time primal can kiss my ass. I (and most beer drinkers here) know it is not primal and is a planned indulgence. As such we don't waste it on piss water and instead opt for quality (usually microbrewed) beer
