Ha ha...  It was PMS.

Thanks you guys.  :)

I work in research regarding the menstrual cycle.  There's no evidence that this is true.  Plus, if you think about it, it doesn't really make sense that you would burn more calories during this time.  During the times of the month you are not menstrating you are building the lining of your uterus - this causes your body to work.  When you are actively bleeding all that is happening is the lining of your uterus is shedding - no work, it just 'falls off'.   So, when you think about how it all happens it really is not like donating blood.

 If we are getting technical, we have to replace the blood lost.  Our body has to undergo hematopoeisis just like when we donate blood..  I don't think it's too inconceivable to believe that we burn an extra 100-200.  However I'm not going to rely on it

No, I don't, but I do suffer from pear shape..   :)   I'll never have nice legs. 

Jean shopping can be tough.  Most guys have it easy- no butt.  Anyhow, I wish I could give you some advice but alas.  There was this one store I went to where the legs were too skinny but the waist was bigger- probably better for an apple body.  I can't recall the name but it's the store where Sarah Jessica Parker sells her stuff, and it sounds like a guy's name.

My roommate's friend believed that the egg white cancelled out the egg yolk.

My dad thinks you can exercise your cholesterol away completely (perhaps it helps, but he doesn't exercise)

My mom thinks a thirty minute walk will cancel out a candy bar and a bag of cookies.

BTW...I hate the negative calorie food myth.  If all you eat is lettuce, celery, and tomatoes, then OF COURSE YOU'RE GOING TO LOSE WEIGHT.  Unless you are constantly stuffing your face...all day long.  I love eating but I would have to draw the line somewhere.

I totally agree.  I think our bodies just want the sugars and fats from it.  I gave up chocolate for lent once, and on Easter I was so excited because I got so much from my parents, but after I had some it just wasn't the same.

I think we also learn to really apreciate the flavor of wholesome food, and we realize how bland some junk foods can be.

Are you using the CC calculator?

Because it may not match what you are actually eating.  For instance, maybe CC thinks yogurt has 27 g of sugar when in reality yours only has 14 g but the same amount of calories.

Lol.  My mom is the kind of mom who makes 60 dozen cookies in 15 diff varieties as well, except she doesn't give them away.  They stay in our house until they are gone, which is rediculous because she complains about how fat she and dad are.

That's one thing that bugs me about my mom sometimes.  She wants to lose weight and she thinks that if she says she's on a diet, she'll start to lose weight.  She doesn't realize how crucial it is to cut out all these sweet things she eats.  Seems like a no brainer, but alas.

In the original plays, Romeo is around 20-30 and Paris is 30-40. 

"What is love" is a perfect question for this play because (although I'm a hopeless romantic) it does beg the question if you can fall in love at first sight.  However we may never know if it prevails which is probably the point.  Shakespeare had to end it that way in order to be vague.

Hmm...In short...YEEESSSS.

The week beforehand I go half mad.  For me, it's carbs.  I just can't get enough of them, and the sad thing is I'm never "full".  If I'm not careful I could just eat and eat and eat...

I told my parents separately that I was going vegetarian and they gave the exact same response.

"...why?"
