2400 calories? That's nothing! I bet you can maintain on that! How many calories are you eating on a daily basis? I understand emotional eating, but if you're freaking out over 2400 calories, I'm a bit concerned.

 Daily I score in 1500 cal at the lowest, though it's usually around 1700 cal. I'd be more forgiving of my slip-ups if I didn't feel so blue, probably. Some days, we girls just feel fat. I know I'm not fat, but it makes me irritated and kinda bitchy, and eating definitely makes me more tolerable to be around for others and for myself. Very opposite mechanics, but the results are decent. xP

I just know I'm going to regret the extra 800 calories tomorrow morning. >.<

I'll try to remember your advice, though, Kay! Sounds more productive than being disgusted with myself.

I've never been to Greece either, but my father says that breakfast actually isn't a big meal over there. Usually it's just something small like fruit and yogurt with coffee. I would assume that the hotel would serve a varied breakfast, like Okgo said, if it serves meals. If not, bringing a bar sounds like a good idea, as does buying some cereal from a local market. I'm pretty sure the stores would carry some.

Sorry, that probably wasn't so helpful. :/

Costas: I'm 17, as well, and vegan, so I take a multi-vitamin... just in case. I make a conscious decision to eat at least five servings of fruit and vegetable, and plenty of fortified foods, so I don't need a multi most likely.

Better safe than sorry, however. I would take the multi.

Gay Marriage: Is free will; They can marry who they want.

Abortion: Is the only option, at times

Obama: I'd vote for him

Mccain: Too old, too conservative.

Jesus: Had some good ideas

Evolution : Could still be happening today.

Global Warming : Unfortunately, yes.

George W.: Please let him be the last Bush.

Sex Before Marriage: Is totally fine.

The Drinking Age: Should not be dictated to us by any law.

Pot: Never tried it; Should be legal.

The War: Unless we plan on conquering them, COME HOME.

Meat: A waste of all the grain, water, and land we put into raising it.

Tattoos: Are awesome.

The Devil: Is a religious fantasy and a scapegoat for Christians.

Ghosts: Probably.

Aliens: I have my doubts.

Censorship: Is a useless protective measure- like seatbelts.

Magic: An illusion.

Love: Only happens if you look for it.

Religion: Brings people together, divides the groups, promotes wars, kills.

To all of you who believe that keeping convicts in prison for the rest of their lives as opposed to receiving the death penalty, which is more civilized- subjecting them to years of prison rape or shooting them? (or injection, as the case seems to be)

I thought I wanted a baby, but then my older sister and her husband had one. If being an aunt is this much of a trial, then I can only vaguely imagine how it would be if I had to nurture and be with my own baby 24/7.   o.o

Still, I think that someday I will have some of my own. Having a niece has made me realize how much I value my ability to be free of such a weighty responsibility. No kid for me until I am ready to seriously settle down, and to make permanent life choices.

I think that raising a healthy child would be pretty easy, actually. Feed her healthy, yet tasty foods. Don't worry if she makes mistakes. Accept her idiosyncrasies, allay her fears... all the stuff that my parents have done for me. Although I won't homeschool my kids like mine have me. So much work!

(being pregnant looks like so much fun, personally. My sister loved having a little person in her, even if she did do a lion's share of complaining about her stomach.)

I'm 5'3", 106 lbs and I usually wear a small size shirt, occasionally medium is a more comfortable fit. I wear a pants size 3 or 5, and I could, until recently, fit a child's size 16.
