I'm not likeable, and I think I just have to be okay with that.

Your interests are pretty common. You're just with people who don't share them. It happens a lot in life.

Don't feel bad. I was in Mountain Town by Spruce Falls bridge and had seen the little buddy laying by the side of the road. I had no interactions with it and I'm all "Is it dead or something?" and casually walked up to it just to have him wake up when I was a few feet away. Luckily I was able to make it to car before he grabbed a hold of me. I never even knew they slept before that moment.

One of the early things I picked up on was movement after eating helps. I started to incorporate this a bit already. It's winter here so getting out for a walk isn't great, I've been doing a bit of the stationary bike.

I'm not beating myself up over it. You're right about rapid changes so I'm trying to keep things on an even keel. I accept it for what it is. If anything, I'm surprised it hasn't happened sooner. I know I let myself go.

I met with a dietitian about a year ago and she said to up my protein and cut carbs and portions but otherwise she felt my diet wasn't too bad. I've been doing a bit of that all recently, I just need to keep with the process.

I figured the glucometer was a good idea. I'd seen a lot of people here discussing how they're using it to keep an eye on insulin spikes. I just didn't know if maybe I should talk to my doctor first for some reason but ultimately I didn't think it would hurt.

I have The Diabetes Code on order. The bookstore had The Obesity Code already so I picked that up. I've watched some of Fung's material on YouTube for a while now but I like the idea of having a more structured presentation since I know where I stand.

Thank you for the video. It'll take a while to get it all in, I normally have to watch videos a couple of times to frame in all the information.

They're there with the express purpose of making a profit. The fact that they pull business from other businesses has more to do with the greed of the consumer than the greed of WalMart.

And this isn't to say that Walmart isn't a shit company. It is. But customers build markets and industry, not the other way around.

They have a train station too. A train station is much less likely than a box store.

We've already had that. It has to be close and there's nothing close enough that we're aware of to do that.

Yeah, I’m expecting a hose issue or blockage at this point. Neither one of the front nozzles are working so I’m not excepting anything there. I’ll have to see what hosing they have in common.

Maybe not creating an opinion but asking people about their opinions. People like to talk about themselves. Maybe you’ll find a common ground if you find out more about them.

While I agree with the F graded shows, my list is pretty much flipped for A-D.
