Is being thin really THAT in???

Yeah, I've done a few not-so-nutritionally-sound diet plans. Let's see, there was the low carb diet craze - basically I ate MEAT, lots and lots of meat and cheese and eggs and pork rinds slathered in cream cheese. There was the only-eat-cereal diet. There was the only-eat-peanut butter and jelly diet. There's the juice fast - ok so I never tried that one, but I was tempted. Hey, I wanted to wear that bikini when I went on my first cruise :D
And yes, I know I could stand to lose a few pounds and inches - and although I've done a few of the crazy fad diets - there's only so much that I'm willing to do.There's a limit, people! But, there are people who think, "yes, being thin really IS that in!" And will stop and nothing to achieve that goal including - ingesting a parasitic TAPEWORM!
Women are reportedly purposefully ingesting tapeworms to help them shed unwanted pounds. This blackmarket diet secret was brought to light, at least for me, yesterday on Tyra! Have you SEEN a tapeworm? NASTY! They harvest - (doesn't that sound so agricultural?) these worms from the feces of cows. In this case, the cows were in Africa (Ghana, I think). The eggs are harvested  and are then force fed to a cow! Then the tapeworm farm is excavated (agriculture, anyone). How does one excavate a tapeworm farm? Well, this guy slaughtered - or had someone to slaughter the cow after the eggs had time to hatch and the worms had time to multiply. The cows innards were then split open and the worms were removed. I suspect they were packed in some sort of aqueous (good word) solution and packaged as the next weightloss, what SUPPLMENT?
The woman on the show, after watching the video of the guy rooting through feces to find eggs, having the eggs force-fed to a cow, and the cows innards ripped open to find the newly formed tapeworms - was practically giddy with excitement! She still wants to get her tapeworm!!! After all that?
Is it that serious to be thin? Is it worth eating a parasite because you want to fit into a size 4 instead of an 8? There's a limit, people! Enjoy your life. Don't eat feces worms? EWWW! My advice - just love yourself. Take the best care of yourself that you can. Eat right, exercise and listen to your doctor. IF after all that you find yourself fighting the last few stubborn pounds -  you know the pounds I mean -just embrace the fat, fluff, padding, spare tire, curves, love handles, and all the jiggly bits in between!

Oscar Chronicles - All By Myself

  Hola, mis amigos. I'm not going to ask if you missed me because - well, I already know you did. But more than that, I'm not going to ask because I'm sad, angry and hungry. Okay, perhaps I'm always interested in some snacks...Anyway, your Oscar is sad. Why? Is because a couple of weeks ago mi persona favorito decided to remodel his room. No really! He took all of the things out of the room - even my bed! At first I was angry thinking that he was kicking me out! He even took down his posters and emptied his closet! But then I started seeing him bringing some stuff back. Several pairs of his zapatos, some shirts and chaquetas. Some things he even put in the basura! Things that were too small or too old - you know how they do, right? So yes,  A MAJOR CLEANING. His room was like SUPER CLEAN.  He and his Papa also bought in new stuff. New zapatos, shirts, pants. The new stuff he put into a new bag. Nice! Good storage. It even has wheels!! So he can move it around a lot easi...

POP QUIZ

You guys ever take one of those online quizzes? " WHAT YOUR FAVORITE COLOR SAYS ABOUT YOU" ... Or the ones about your astrological sign?  "WHAT MAKES A CANCER HAPPY?". .. "IF YOU'RE A PISCES YOU ARE THE ROMANTIC TYPE"   If you did, were the results accurate? I mean did they fit you and your personality? I've taken a few of these sorts of quizzes - just for fun. Astrology? Yeah, I've read my horoscope from time to time. Most of the time the results and the astrological stuff kinda fit and sometimes I'm like - hmm, that is SOOOOO not me. Either way, they usually make me think wow, am I really like that? I took a personality quiz - basically it was to determine if you are left-brained or right-brained. Most agree now that there isn't a clear distinction and that most people have traits/characteristics of both. Here are my results...pretty good but definitely missing a few Like there was nothing mentioned about me being artistic or imagin...

Golden Haze

There I was...minding my own business (no really, I was - this time) thought I'd do some note taking, some observing (okay maybe not completely minding my own business), get some ideas for some posts...and the craziest thing happened. I started noticing a few people walk by my table, look at me - stare at me really, some snickered, some outright laughed. I was thinking sheesh, what's up? No one said anything - just looked at me, looked down at my table, looked at me, laughed or chuckled and walked away...that was until this guy walked over and sat down next to me. Immediately, my internal alert system went into overdrive!!! STRANGER DANGER!!! Then he says the craziest thing to me... Stranger: Hey, yeah so are you here regularly?  (ALARM IS GETTING LOUDER)  Me: Excuse me? Stranger: Nah, I'm just saying if you're here like on the reg, and you're bold enough to advertise the merch I'm straight going to switch my loyalty to you.  Me: DAFUQ!  (INTER...
