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

Podcast #1

Yay! I've finally figured out how to get the recordings to show up on my blog. So this one is a actually a test recording. But I'm playing around here, so don't expect radio quality...at least not yet 😜 This first one is a recording of a post currently up on my blog titled Hostage Negotiations. May just add the recorded versions for those who'd rather listen than read. Plus, this new app has some pretty nifty features that I cannot wait to try out! Hostage podcast Peace, Mackgurl

Being Strong Is Not for the Weak

Sometimes you may get tired and fed up. I mean come on, life has a way of testing you…and I mean way worse than any pop quiz you might have had. Sometimes the test starts small. Broke a nail after a fresh manicure? Hit your shin on the corner of the bed? (ouch). Then maybe it ramps up to you dropping your brand new cell phone face down on the pavement…while trying to put on the screen protector. Ugh! That sucks, right? Then there are household bills...sure you have some, right?  Yeah, they eat away a good chunk of your paycheck but you’re managing. Then a major appliance dies…then some shingles fall off your roof.. Sucks but ok. It seems like one thing after another after another. Sigh... but somehow you’re standing strong and making do, holding on. And then…car issues start happening…flat tires, brakes need replacing and then transmission blows! What?!! But you’ve got to be strong right? You’re an adult and you can and have to deal with these things. You can manage, right? Yeah? So w
