I'm calling this "off topic" because it's really not an issue, just a rant. No one need reply, I'm just bored and this has been on my mind.
I really have a problem with the term "gay lifestyle". It's just one of those things that bugs the crap out of me. What exactly is the "gay lifestyle"? I'm gay and should know but I don't. My lifestyle is no different than anyone elses. We get up in the morning and go to work and earn a living. We come home have dinner, maybe watch some TV or not. This time of year we may just hang out around the pool in the evening.
More and more other same sex couples are raising children and dealing with homework and getting the kids in bed.
There's yardwork to be done, housework too. The laundry doesn't do itself!
I've never heard anyone mention the "straight lifestyle". Is "gay lifestyle" a code word for something more sinister? I do notice that the people that use the term are generally not very open minded about homosexuality.
OK I'm done. Like I said I'm bored and just killing time.

first day of new lifestyle change....Ugh!!! sm
No diet sodas, regular sodas, refined sugars, bad carbs.....I snuck in a little orange juice this morning. I'm reading and following "Body by God" and trying to eliminate most man-made foods (which are obvious) and replacing them with God-made foods which are the obvious, too (fruits, veggies, beans, lean meats, chicken, etc.). No cheese, either.
I didn't realize (well, I sorta did) how much I rely on my Diet Dr. Pepper EVERY morning. Yes, I'm grouchy. I'm drinking water this morning (yuck) - actually, I don't mind water, but I'm dying for my PEPPER!!!!
What's gotten me to this point? My hormones, thyroid, everything is getting out of balance due to obesity. yes, I admit it! This has been a struggle of mine for years. I cannot even tell you how many times I've failed trying to change my lifestyle. I have young children, too, and we went to like McDonald's and Burger King quite a bit.....That will have to stop too :(
It's not ALL bad, though. I do get one "vacation" day a week to eat pretty much whatever I want. Doc says that even 1 to 2 days of this Body by God will yield results. 3 to 4 days of Body by God will yield great results, and all 7 days of this regime will yield the BEST results for you and your body. I'm tired of the swelling. I'm tired of trying to cover up my belly fat. Hey, I'm just being brutally honest.
Is there a diet board? I need fill-in ideas for snacks that are healthy. I've never, ever eaten healthy before.....    = My emotions right now!~
Why is the lifestyle more important?
He is a me type person. I have a grown daughter just like that. He is only thinking of himself and what he wants. This is the difference in my martial situation- if my husband wanted to move somewhere else I would go with him in a minute, no question. I love my home but I love him more. The statement about the other woman would probably make me feel a little uneasy because I feel if you are saying things like that, how do I know you are not acting on them? I have a cousin spent loads of time hunting, going to all kinds of meetings of things he was involved with, had 2 almost grown sons, left his wife of 30+ years, had met another woman and gave up a paid for 4 bedroom brick home to live with this woman in a trailer… It happens.
For my lifestyle change, I had lapband
Can't think of a better Christmas and New Year gift to myself. I absolutely love it. Have lost 20 pounds so far.
the best plan is lifestyle change, not some dangerous
like the previous poster said, the weight will come back when you stop. I have kept a food diary and counted calories and now am down to 108 lbs. Creating a calorie deficit is the only safe way to lose weight.
Convict, judge. I don't do that. I don't agree with the lifestyle based on
homosexuality to be a sin. If you read my posts completely, you would have seen in my example of running into each other in the mall, that I would be respectful to you, but that did not mean that I agreed with your lifestyle. In the end, God with judge us all. That's not my job.
Yes, true, the daily lifestyle does not differ, but the nightly does,nm

I agree. I have to lose 80 pounds. Changed lifestyle, exercising now, sm
drinking more water instead of diet soda, life is good. I feel better now than ever before. Oh yea, I just quit smoking too... last cigarette was June 12th, the same diet I started my healthy way of living and lost 10 pounds so far.
