  1. Hmmm...

     

    Have you ever seen those depressing as hell TLC shows about the 600+ pound men/women who have to have a side of their house ripped off so they can be transported to the hospital?

     

    On what planet does losing the TV remote in your stomach folds because you eat an entire box of Fruit Loops for breakfast not qualify as a mental illness?

    It really depends on why/how they got that big, doesn't it?

     

    If a person eats like crap and doesn't move all day, are they mentally ill? Or are they just stupid and lazy? Could be either.

  2. is the clear assumption that QB, TE, and OL are the whitest positions what you are getting at?

     

    i will say Qb is the smallest position group (2-3 guys per roster), followed by TE (3 per roster) which likely accounts for a lot of the skew.

    It is my assumption, yes, that the positions have less white players as the crime numbers go up. I was just saying I'd be interested in knowing if my assumption could be proved/disproved by actual statistics.

     

    I'm not trying to say that white players are less likely to get in trouble with the law than black players because of the color of their skin.

     

    I'm simply stating that, based on that chart, it appears (to me) that white players get in trouble with the law less than black players do.

  3. It's a mental illness and should be looked at and treated the same way anorexia and bulimia are.

    I believe anorexia and bulimia are mental illnesses that result in poor physical condition/physical ailments.

     

    There may be mental illnesses that result in obesity; but obesity is a physical condition- not a mental illness.

  4. For some strange reason I'm reminded of Ralph Kiner's infamous Father's Day introduction during a Mets broadcast in the mid-80s:

     

    "It's Father's Day here at Shea, and we'd like to wish all of the fathers out there a Happy Birthday!"

    I was just speaking about this to my parents on Saturday. Funny you brought it up!

     

    Happy Canada Day, Canadian friends.

  5. Talk to a professional. No shame in that. I was in therapy for two years and it was the best thing for me. They can help you sort this better than some strangers on a message board.

     

    Do whats best for the child as others have mentioned

    How are you sure your therapist isn't part of the TBD community? Hmmmmm??

  6. Went grocery shopping last night (well, for me it was actually this morning, 2am after work). Checking the labels on the wheat bread, the cheap stuff, third ingredient, high fructose corn syrup and 22g of carbs. The more expensive, brown sugar and 12g of carbs.

    I've been getting Arnold double fiber whole wheat bread. I don't count carbs, but it has 21g. I like it because it has 6g of fiber and 1.5g of fat per slice. In a slice, out a slice.

  7.  

     

    I have been up all night... I am a bad, bad person... I had no will power and stopped in and grabbed a Maxwell Street Polish w/the works (kraut and onions/mustard)... Ooo so good... I am paying for it now w/guilt and this thread! :wallbash: :wallbash: Damn will power!

     

    Myself, not so much the snacks... I don't crave ice cream, chips... It is the soda. When I cut that out, I lose... I try to cut it back to a couple cans a day. And then of course the meat and potatoes! I just don't have any other vices... Don't smoke, don't really drink alcohol (maybe a couple every other month or so if that. Bad to to good cholesterol is a bit whacky... Bit, but not bad. I am a brat and steak guy! :bag:

    We just stopped buying unhealthy snacks. No more soda, candy, cookies, Doritos, etc. now we have reduced fat wheat thins and triscuits. We we have fiber one bars. And we only drink flavored seltzer water (Polar or Schweppes).

     

    About once a month, I'll spoil my son with a big bag of his favorite Doritos (enchilada supreme) and we'll go to town on them. If we drink soda, we buy a single bottle for the day, instead of a 12 pack or a 2 liter. During the Christmas holiday season, we'll fill the candy dish with the green and red kisses and m&m candies, but that's only for a couple weeks.

     

    Bottom line for us, if it ain't in the fridge, cupboard or pantry ... We ain't eatin' or drinkin' it!

     

    It's all about moderation.
