Andrew is BARELY 180 lbs and 6'5". Whatever he eats is digested within hours. So I blame him for the 30 lbs I've gained since we met! I think that you're dead on that it's harder for those of us who have just a 10-20 lbs to lose to feel good about ourselves, rather than someone who is obese and needs to lose much more, especially if you're already in shape and get a lot of activity! When all it takes is cutting out soda and easing up on carbs, the weight comes off like nothing. When you're already a healthy eater and get a lot of physical activity, it's so much freaking work both mentally and physically that I just wonder if it's worth it!

I love that place in ways that are weird and unnatural. And I love their pretzel bread. And I think it's funny that my friends out east tried pretzel bread here and then tried to get it at their local Trader Joe's and were told "that's only available in the midwest and west." But then I wondered what delights are they treated to that we're missing out on? Who cares, I can't quite imagine what could be better than pretzel bread.

They did not respond. Poo on them. I sent Trader Joe’s a letter asking them to consider opening a store in my new neighborhood (or in Dallas at all).
