That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?

I think what she is doing is saving points from healthy things she used to eat so that she can eat other things that have higher points.

See, that I totally understand. (Says the woman who is eating a very healthy, light-calorie lunch because she plans on having Tasty Booze at the club tonight.) But the way she phrased it ...

Same here. I am eating very sensibly for lunch so I can have a burger tonight. But not having an apple?? They're only 1 point. And, WW totally stresses eating healthy choices over not-so-healthy ones.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Wait, what's wrong with Josh Malina?

Brad Whitford bags all over him in that Q&A, apparently because he's been mocking the mustache via twitter.

Also, what is "cornmeat"?

A typo for cornmeal?

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

I once worked with a woman whose doctor told her that she had to lose weight, to help get her blood pressure down. So she went to the store and bought "diet" this and "lite" that, everything either canned or frozen - processed to the max. Then, at some point, she looked at the sodium content ... and hit the roof, totally outraged that they'd put all that nasty sodium in her nice, healthy, low-cal food.

Heh. One of the (many, amazing!) perks to having our registered dietitian friend living with us is that I am learning a lot about nutrition. Such as butter is your friend! This is what portion sizes really look like! Wacky, I tell you.

Because books.

This is what portion sizes really look like!

The nutritionist who taught me the diabetic diet and its exchanges was excellent at this. For instance, a deck of cards is one serving of meat, and 3 oz.! I've never forgotten that.

I never doubted butter.

I'm assuming it's in comparison to margarine or other processed substitute.

Plus, a little fat will help you eat less in the long run than avoiding it all together.

I figured it was something along those lines. I tend to use olive oil for everything though.
