Do Not Disturb

I may not be posting much today as I seem to have an entire year of work to get done at my place of employment.

I also need to lose ten pounds.

Whistler,

If you want to lose weight and stay away from the goodies, do what I do:

Take any goodie you like, say custard-filled chocolate donuts.  Then imagine that the custard filling comes from some truly disgusting source (blended maggot larvae, for instance).

Every time you are tempted by the custard filled donuts, repeat that image in your mind.  Eventually you will fool your subconscious mind into believing that custard really is, in fact, blended maggot larvae, and it will stop sending signals to your brain to crave it.

Sounds disgusting, but it works.

In dieting successfully, it is not your conscious mind you need to control, but your subconscious.  Through sheer willpower you will never diet successfully over the long hall.  Successful dieting means changing behaviors and for that, you need the subconscious.

P.S., In the same way, you can train you mind to think of plain tuna on lettuce to be the most exquisite thing you have ever eaten.

Want proof this works?  I just made myself slightly nauseous just thinking that little bit about custard filled chocolate donuts.

I used to LOVE those.

Hmmm Maggot donuts!


What’s going to happen to US industry when the global warming extremists like John McCain double the price of electricity?  I would think all these factories will close and set up in countries where they aren’t scared of technology.

Bill: Someone who wishes to remain anonymous suggested to me (though I wish I’d thought of it!) that the method you use to lose weight may be the same method you used to pick a presidential candidate? smile

Happy New Year!
(BTW, if you want to comment on Romney’s poll numbers, there’s a thread specifically for that here!)



A troll is someone who only wants to stir up trouble, not have an honest debate.  Some signs that a poster is a troll:
* Dodges questions from other posters * Refuses to give sources
* When one of its arguments is shown to be false, either ignores the proof or moves the goalposts.  Heh. (From the LGF faq)

Well Proof,

Let’s just see whose bug-filled donut wins this thing, eh?

I would say Thompson is a bug-filled donut, but based upon his campaign, the bugs might take offense.

P.S.,

I have heard various stories on this, but maybe someone here knows.  Does the “15% Minimum” thing apply to the Republican Caucus or is that just the Dems?

Proof,

By the way you and Rob pick candidates, I would assume your diet plan consists of just keeping the refrigerator empty.

I just tried it out on a custard filled maple long-john. 

It didn’t work. 

That Tony Robbins stuff never worked for me.

Bill: I would be happy to enlighten part of your ignorance: It’s just the Dems.
Read John Fund and educate yourself a little bit. Please!

Oh, and then, Bill, take your maggot invested mind over to the Thompson on You Tube thread, where I totally demolished your last argument there!

I meant I have to lose ten pounds by the end of the year.  Bill sure didn’t help when he got me thinking about custard filled donuts. 

Hmmmm.

Well, Whistler, you know the old joke:

Want to lose ten pounds of ugly fat?
Cut off your head!

(I’m sure we can even find some nice jihadist willing to help!) smile

Now we need to convince liberals that Hillary is a bag of blended maggot larvae and they wont vote for her...wait this is redundant. Nevermind

According to the likability (sp) seems like that is already the case with over 50% of the voters.

Happy New Year, Whistler.

Oh, and here’s weight loss clue - eat less, move around more.

It’s a rule I intend to follow since I need to lose about ten pounds, too. I just reluctantly went up a size in jeans. I’m going to lose it. New Year’s resolution. Really. I’m gonna. Honest.

Sigh.

What the hell do you mean, do not disturb!?!? I just got home, to find several hundred emails to go through, both my news RSS feeds overflowing, all the cats indignant at our week long absence, AND I have to cook supper(picked up some excellent New York strips on the run in). Now THATS disturbing! Merry New Year, damnit.

Oh, and don’t sweat the 10 lbs. Plenty of time to lose weight in the grave.

Got some old steel toed boots you could pitch out? That would be 7 or 8 lbs right there!

Whistler: How’d you make out on the 10 lbs?
And if successful, will you publish the South Grand Forks Diet?

(Although I’m not sure, personally, how well a diet with the word ”Forks” in it is going to sell!)

I like the steel toed boot diet!

Zsa Zsa on January 1, 2008 at 09:07 am

Its versatile, too! If they are to good to throw out you can strap them on and run up and down the steps each day. After dying from that heart attack weight loss will commence immediately.
