Let's liven the board up! That, and I feel like pooh and I don't want to work.
I hate department stores. They are too big and I can never find what I looking for. I always end up getting lost and being in the Alfred Dunner section.
I am not a big fan of Halloween. Mostly because I rarely see any creative costumes and just see women going as "skanky this" or "slutty that". It reeks of AWing and makes me think they are insecure.
The only time I enjoy shopping is when I'm by myself. Once in a great while it's fun to go with someone but the rest of the time NOPE. By myself or online only.

Do people not understand that when you say ill be there at 6 it means 6? Do they not understand that you have other frigging things you could be doing besides waiting for their late asses? Why is their time more important that yours?
I think less of people who don't RSVP to things they've been invited to. I don't care if you're not coming, just say so.
I frigging hate this...it is right up there on top of my list!
Even worse are the people who say they are coming and don't show!
OMG yes! It happens so much at work it is unreal. I've heard "well, we just assume we have to be there so we don't need to RSVP". Uh, no the professional thing to do is to RSVP--whether it is mandatory or not.
I also hate sushi. And all fish except canned tuna, though even that makes me gag sometimes.
I am HIGHLY skeptical of all the current diet trends and think that lots of people use them to cover up eating disorders. I also think many of the self-diagnosed food sensitivities are BS. Some are true, and I have friends who have celiac and gluten intolerance. For them I always make sure to have gluten-free goodies.
Generally I have a hard time accepting this stuff and think it's a modern-day version of the self-deprivation to show piety sort of attitude. I get that this makes me a judgmental asshole. I dummy day anything aloud to people, I just raise my eyebrow and roll my eyes away from them.

Including Whole30?
I know nothing about Whole 30, so I can't judge.
I do think that eliminating whole food groups is not a viable long-term solution for most people. If people are overeating certain things (especially sugar) I think it's good to decrease, and if you need to eliminate at first to be able to have a lower intake when you reintroduce it, okay. If you don't eat lots of fruit and veggies, changing your diet to include them is sensible. I prefer a moderate approach.

When I was on Medifast, I ate nothing but lean protein, and vegetables, and some healthy fats. And peanut butter. That's it, along with their pre-packaged foods. For 18 straight months. No caffeine or booze either. Well, I made it like 8 months without booze.
And I've gained a huge chunk of those 130 pounds back, so I'd agree with you. A diet you can live with long-term, which more likely than not includes a few non-healthy items, and a lot of whole foods. Which is what whole 30 is about, right?

I would like to lose 30 lbs. I've actually lost about 5 so far. I looked into Medifast and what you're talking about is the reason I decided not to pursue it. That and the realization that I was seeing it as a fix. Lose the weight and I can go back to the way I was before I gained it and before I got married. The truth is that I need to make long-term, sustainable changes. Which is REALLY HARD. So I get the temptation to cut things out. Hell, if I cut out carbs I'd lose tons of weight because that's the majority of what I eat. But I'd also be starving and I'd eat pasta again as soon as possible.
I do not like small, economy, save on gas, save the environment little cars. I like luxury and sporty cars with lots of bells and whistles and poor gas mileage.

For you and tiramisu: Whole30 isn't a long term "diet". It is a day day re-set, so to speak where you detox your body, break cravings (supposedly) and learn new habits. It is 30 days of no sugar, alcohol, grains, dairy or beans. It is pretty freaking strict. Most people I've talked to or read about discussed feeling better, sleeping better, having more energy, losing weight, and breaking "bad" habits like stress eating, binge eating, etc.
Gotcha. I meant the whole foods part is similar to Whole 30, not the long-term diet part. I knew it was a detox reset of sorts
tiramisu, Medifast is more for people who have at least 50 to lose as part of health concerns, not because they're a little overweight. So it makes sense that you wouldn't do it. It's meant to get the weight off, primarily.

Audi TT convertible. It's AWESOME but a gas guzzler. And I don't even care lol.
I have an Audi TT, too, and I adore it. It is so much fun to drive! I get ~28 MPG, but I do mostly country driving (relatively high speed, few stops), so it's not too bad.
