People aren't naturally obese. Your body might tend towards being extremely heavy or even overweight on a usual basis, but I very much doubt that your natural body equilibrium favours dangerously large weights.

Not to self: If you're out of oil go buy some. Margerine doesn't work as a replacement.
My cordon bleu is charred on the outside and raw on the inside. I had to throw it away.

VRWCAgent is right, and I don't say that merely because the vast rightwing conspiracy is holding my children hostage.
Only a very tiny fraction of people are naturally obese, such as people with thyroid problems. It's self-inflicted, and people should cut out on excessive food intake (myself included, for I'll get overweight soon at this rate) instead of getting escalators and elevators installed everywhere.
And I, for one, welcome our new overweight overlords.
Well margarine is a butter replacement.

Hey, I'm fat and I enjoy being fat. I don't need a bunch of skinny snobs telling me what to do with my body.

And still unsuitable for pan-frying in a way that butter isn't.

Then why rant about the knock-on effects of being fat? It's like constantly maintaining that you love smoking and then complaining about anti-smoking laws, getting cancer or having your medical bills go up.

IF that was directed at me at all, you misunderstood my post. Wanna be fat, go for it! I like the insulation come winter. Never said "don't be fat" in the least.

...do you have a not-blue skinned girl friend?
Days can be to 100% frustrating.
Went in the morning to sign the contract for my new appartment.
The clerk, after looking around: "Oh, sorry, we don't have any info about you."
Now, that starts great. Okay, wasn't a problem.
Later, I found out that the mentioned price was not inclusive, but exclusive gas/water/electricity. Means the price climbs up from "a bit more than half of my salary" to "roughly 2/3rd of my salary". They should have written that more clearly at their website. Or I should have read the contract before signing it.
Still interesting, that you have to prove not to earn more than X per month to get such a freakin' expensive thing. For 100 more I can get twice the size (not that I need it).
Guess I'll now have to subrent that second room.
The guy who's been living in there before agreed to leave his furniture here, the cuddlery, etc. Good for me, don't have to get anything from Germany, don't have to buy new stuff.
I've already been suspicious on Monday evening, when I saw the mess the appartment still was. Throw 2 full trash bags away this morning. How can you leave ice and milk in the fridge when you move out?!? Why was his computer still running? It's enough to piss me really off, but not enough to tell the landlord to get a cleaning company.
And then I have to organize the rest, which he has left here.
Oh god.
Had a meeting with my supervisors at work, since the first half year is over.
Great, not 4 publications are expected, but 4 first author publications. Better more. Yeah, nothing easier than that.
And half of my course plan has to be discarded/replaced. Okay, easy, but not what I wanted.
I doubt the 4 publications will work, since my current work is stuck. It's stuck in 4 different directions. If the devs of that goddamn software don't fix their problems, then I'm partially lost. I have no real clue about what to do on Friday (moving tomorrow), if I don't get any answers to my bug reports. Wasted the rest of the day with installing software for installing software for installing another software which doesn't work. I feel so productive.
The expectations the supervisors have, and what has to be organized in these regards bring me down even more.
Basically everyone at work and at home told me today that I look exhausted.
Tells you something, considering that I work only at the computer, and that I actually didn't really do anything of value today.
And it's too freakin' hot here
.And it rained while I was biking. Normally good at this temperature, but I was wearing my new leather sandals. Not good for the sandals
.Utter hell.
I hope moving tomorrow will at least work.

you'd be surprised. it's all about metabolism and/or addiction to fast food (totally real).

I read someplace that the gut flora of some individuals secrete (or cause the body to secrete???) hormones that make people crazy lots of sugary, fatty foods. True story?

i'm not sure about that, but you can get definite withdrawal symptoms if you stop eating fast food if you're used to eating it often.
That sounds rough dude. Try and take a breather before you have to move tomorrow and then after that don't do anything for a day or two. You surely need the break. Best of luck.
I don't really have enough holiday anymore to take the Friday off (...oh...wait...holiday plans might have to be postponed due to newly coming money shortage). And besides that: Boredom would then probably strike very hard. Also not good.
To add to the problems:
- My skin is again getting really bad
- I'm supervising 2 students, and 1 of them doesn't understand anything what he's doing. I think even his English might be the problem. And next week I have to review his work and grade it. That will be a tremendous amount of wasted time and nerves. That work will directly go to the trash bin. At least I learned now how not to supervise (at least I hope).
- The good thing: During all this mess I don't really have time to feel bad due to the not-really-sure-but-somehow-still-damn-hurting-lovesickness
Life is hell.

Apparently you have to be 18+ to buy matches here. What the heck?! I've bought matches from there before and no one's cared. It's because they have an old fart manning the cash register. Because everyone under 18 is an arsonist....

Hmmm. This does bring up a question I just thought of; which is when do health-related legislation become discriminatory? It seems ranting about anti-smoking laws is more legit than the other two for the most part.
Omg, no. I seriously did not direct that at you, at all. So no worries, everything's fine! Sorry for the confusion.
No. No girlfriend at all. And never had any in the past either. Virgin for 28 years and counting!
Well, unless the addiction is to Cardamine (of Freelancer fame), I can't imagine that anyone would consider an addiction to be (a) part of your natural body equilibrium or (b) not worthy of treating separately. If you have issues with your metabolism, then you need to take that into account: after all, if you have asthma, you don't go for a long run without your inhaler, so why eat too much and not exercise if you don't burn off food well?
That I can't answer really, but I'd suspect it would be when you start treating the condition as the sum of the person concerned, rather than as a health problem.

well the thing with an addiction is that it forces itself to become part of your bodily equilibrium. one can survive fine without fast food and tobacco. but if you eat fast food enough and smoke tobacco enough, it becomes part of your bodily equilibrium; hence why withdrawal symptoms hurt.
but back on task, obesity brings on its own health problem like any other disease; aids damages white blood cells while obesity targets the circulatory system (among other things). if we consider aids to be a disease, i can't see why obesity can't be viewed as a disease.
