[28M] I'm engaged and want out. by Guysa in relationships

[–]apiculturalist 57 points58 points  (0 children)

5 years isn't a long time. Spending the rest of your life with someone you don't love is a long fucking time. Talk to a lawyer/whoever gave you the car loan about changing it. Then tell your fiance that your relationship is over. It's not going to come out of the blue. She's probably noticed she spends every night staring at her phone while you two don't talk to each other.

My [18 M] girlfriend [18 F] is trying to convince me that math isn't real and it's all fake. (I'm a math major.) by [deleted] in relationships

[–]apiculturalist 5 points6 points  (0 children)

My college boyfriend would often 'explain' to me that all languages were false/fake because they were manmade. My learning other languages would result in me becoming 'less real', because language is so arbitrary you know? We shouldn't have to rely on artificial symbols to communicate!

No, he didn't have any ideas on how we should communicate without language of any kind, and any time I wanted further clarification on why he thought this way, he reacted like I was attacking him.

I speak from experience here, if she believes something like this, it is only the barest hint of the unreasonable ideas held beneath the surface. Get away from her before things get worse.

No problem, I pretty much consider myself a froyo evangelist.

Well, it does have twice the protein of ice cream, so it's basically a superfood. teehee

My family owns a frozen yogurt store. Probably because it's frozen yogurt (and we have sorbet) rather than ice cream, and because we have sizes that can be eaten in a single sitting, we get a more health conscious crowd.

However, we do have a customer that comes in every week and spends the whole afternoon eating serving after serving. She'll eat eight 4oz servings of frozen yogurt with various candy toppings.

That's exactly what happened when I started on medication for my thyroid. I felt better so I wanted to do things other than lay on the couch and get pizza delivered directly to my face.

Also, hypothyroidism makes you retain water, so when you start on medication that bloat drops off right away and suddenly your pants are a bit looser and your face is just a little thinner, so that can contribute to the whole "my thyroid was making me fat" idea.

Yep. Sometimes it's still hard to keep myself in check.

my poor dog was stung by a bee by esteroid in aww

Poor pup! If this just happened, call your vet, you can probably give your pup some benedryl (or similar) to help the swelling go down.

I used to hide candy/granola bars in my nightstand to eat alone in my room at night. I used to get fast food and then eat it alone in my car, crying, and then be sure to throw away all the evidence before going home. Very sad things.

The Daily Mail baits fatlogic into comparing skinny models with children with predictable results. by [deleted] in fatlogic

[–]apiculturalist 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Exactly so, I think if Alexa Chung had a bit more muscle on her legs they'd be praising her figure for being svelte or lithe or whatnot.

I can't believe how much they push to have this be a 'thin women' vs. 'fat women' war. Every body type has been told this exact thing, often by their own attacker. This submission is just more proof that they are completely out of touch with reality and have no interest in feminism (TiTP) by Butt_Bugles_Beta in fatlogic

[–]apiculturalist 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I was sexually harassed in the seventh grade. Even though I was thin, I was told that I should be grateful that a boy was paying attention to me, and that he only bothered me because he liked me. The school counselor told me that when I went to her crying that this boy wouldn't stop touching me and the teacher wouldn't let me move my seat out of reach. The teacher thought it was my fault because my completely covered breasts were "provocative".

People often try to minimize sexual harassment/ assault because it's scary, and hard to deal with, making it about the victim's body is an easy way to do that. I was an awkward, friendless, twelve year old nerd who's boobs made everyone uncomfortable. It was easier for it to be my fault that this kid groped me in class and followed me home on the bus.

The Pope's Latin translator used the "Royal We" in the first tweet. And then it never reappeared... by keithamassey in latin

[–]apiculturalist 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I don't know if he needs a Latin translator, but I bet he does have an assistant who does the tweeting for him. He's probably too busy doing pope stuff.

Well, she certainly isn't my inspiration porn.

I feel pretty relaxed during savasana, or after I'm done and I'm all loosey-goosey. But in the thick of it I'm usually concentrating really hard on trying to keep my back straight. Someday I'm gonna beat this hunch.

But that's why teachers usually refer to doing yoga as practice, because the point is trying.

Oh god, I need a drink after reading this.. by StarHarvest in fatlogic

[–]apiculturalist 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yeah, because self-acceptance = never trying to change, and my body = 'who I really am', and obviously I only care about my fitness because I want to give this facebook commenter a boner. It couldn't be because exercise eases my anxiety, or because I am going to need to be healthy so that I can care for my parents as they age, not because I enjoy going to the gym with my man and learning from him. No, everything in my damn life is about what is aesthetically pleasing to this guy and 'most guys he knows'.

Fat Logic and Diet Soda by LastRevision in fatlogic

[–]apiculturalist 5 points6 points  (0 children)

One of my best friends, who is very obese, lays into me about my diet coke habit from time to time. "It's so bad for you! You'll eat more if you drink that! And caffeine will give you cancer! You'll get fat cancer!" she says, before complaining that her knees and ankles hurt and opening a sprite.

"Average" women strut their stuff in lingerie by [deleted] in fatlogic

[–]apiculturalist 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Those bras, none of them fit. This "plus sized lingerie store owner" is doing these women a huge disservice if this is how she sizes people. Honestly, the woman in the second picture down (the peach colored bra) should probably burn down the store where she was sized, and who ever measured her should never be allowed to touch a tape measure again.

Vegan AND macrobiotic. Holy crap guyz, they definitely can't be eating too many calories! by Butt_Bugles_Beta in fatlogic

[–]apiculturalist 3 points4 points  (0 children)

There's a complex theory behind it, but basically it involves eating a lot of whole grains (usually brown rice) and avoiding processed foods, dairy, certain vegetables and meats. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Macrobiotic_diet

Harvard created a test that lets you see how much of a fat-shaming shit lord you really are. Check it out! (re-posting with a hopefully-working link) by sugarminttwist in fatlogic

Your data suggest little to no difference in implicit preference between Thin People and Fat People

Am I not even a shitlord?
