Heh. Next I get to have all my hair fall out. Yay, me. :-/

Damnit, my life is almost over now, and I haven't even *done* anything 
yet! >_<

Heh, no. Mind you, most other people seem to eat stuff I wouldn't touch 
even if you paid me. :-P

Mmm, interesting. I had no idea starch was so great. Well, at least I 
can still max out on pasta and potatoe wedges then! There's no way I'm 
going to willingly eat slimy fish though. :-P

Well, at work I have cheese sandwiches. Given that there are no food 
preparation facilities of any kind, I'm struggling to think what else I 
could possibly eat. Crisps? That hardly seems like an improvement.

I often have cheese on toast in the evening, but that's just because 
there's usually no "real" food in the building. When it's available, I 
tend to eat pizza (so... basically cheese then) or cook some chicken. Or 
some other kind of meat. Or maybe just noodles. (Not very filling though...)

Don't believe you.

I spent 2 years of my life cycling over 2 hours per day. It made NO 
DIFFERENCE at all. And let me tell you, each day I arrived at my 
destination *exhausted*. Still it made no difference.

I agree. I'm a sprinter, I never could do long distances.

Er, yeah, right. I know of people who have been doing that for decades 
and still can't lose weight.

Like I said, I took up dance classes because I thought it might help. 
But apparently not. Likewise, I enjoy rock climbing (surely a serious 
workout?), but the local climbing wall purposely shuts 10 minutes before 
I arrive home just to annoy me. And then there's skiing. Again quite a 
good full-body workout, but *damned* expensive.

Well, I recently had a blood test specifically looking for cholesterol, 
and apparently they found nothing unusual. The 80% figure, like all 
statistics, is made up off the top of my head. I haven't actually 
*measured* it or anything, it just seems like about the right number.
