TOMORROW, Thursday, my place, 7 or whenever you get off work, swahili food. If you don't know where I live call or email or some such. I am providing food and the liquor thats already around, but I'm not buying any drinks for the gathering so if you're picky and don't like water, tea, or milk, you may want to bring something of your own ( Read more... )

It is a fact that it isn't how much a woman weighs that makes her attractive to men, it is the ratio of hip measurement to waist measurement. The wider the hips and narrower the waist, the more attractive a woman is. That is why we all want you so much.

Don't think I don't empathize completely, but frankly I'm getting tired of all the women I know, myself included, saying that they need to lose weight. I don't know who said it first, but I'm starting to agree that fat is a feminist issue.

It definitely is, but also I think that guys just don't tend to talk about it if they need to lose weight, they just either work on it or they don't, its not 'manly' to say your ass is too big ;)

On the one hand, I agree that a lot of the ways in which our culture treats fat are irrational and obnoxious. I could go on for some time on the topic. But then, your apparent assumptions and hostility are one of the reasons I haven't previously discussed any weight-loss issues on lj. Despite knowing me, you seem to have jumped to the assumption that my intended weight loss is based on aesthetics and a need for societal acceptance. Why should I do that? I'm pretty hot. I'm hot enough that I would want to sleep with myself, hot enough that I have plenty of people expressing interest in me. I'm content with that. The thing is, my diet and weight have been out of control for most of my life; and this point it's not exactly a problem, but it's something that could very easily become a problem. I tend to go through cycles of starving myself (related to psychic self-hatred rather than weight-loss desires) and emotional binging. And I realized recently that my mom (who currently weighs 500+ and deals with her diabetes by just running through ( ... )

Can't be there for the food tomorrow, but once mid June comes around, I'm so there! :D

yay, thank you for posting this. i was wondering what time to come over.

nanimo February 6 2008, 21:45:35 UTC

You also could have called :) Actually, Sarah Jean said she might come early to help finish up cooking. You are also welcome to come hang out earlier since you'll have to leave to get to work, yes?

I could have called, yes. If it weren't for my serious loathing of the phone, that would have been my first option.

I might come early, but I've got an apartment viewing and an appointment beforehand, so I'm not sure yet. I've got the day off from Relay, so no workies for me! =)
